Glass Skin Facial

A glass skin facial is a skincare treatment aimed at achieving a luminous, clear, and dewy complexion that resembles the smooth, reflective surface of glass. This trend originates from Korean beauty practices and emphasizes hydration, radiance, and a healthy glow. We combine dermaplaning, a chemical peel, radio frequency, soothing and relaxing with ice globes plus LED light therapy, finished off with hydrating products.

A glass skin facial can have many benefits, including:

  • Hydration: The treatment can deeply hydrate the skin

  • Skin texture: The facial can improve skin texture and make it softer

  • Fine lines and wrinkles: The facial can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

  • Pores: The facial can reduce the appearance of enlarged pores

  • Skin tone: The facial can improve skin tone

  • Skin firmness: The facial can help firm the skin

  • Redness: The facial can reduce redness

  • Sensitivity: The facial can calm sensitive skin

  • Scarring: The facial can reduce the appearance of deep scars

  • Dead skin cells: The facial can remove dead skin cells

How often should I get a glass skin facial?

For best results: every 4-6 weeks.

  • Eat a balanced diet which includes plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables and fibre. Foods containing vitamins A, C and E are particularly important for a healthy skin.

  • Drink plenty of water – this helps to maintain a healthy water balance in the body and speeds up the elimination of waste and toxins which can affect the skin.

  • Get enough sleep – remember that the rate of skin cell repair and replacement increases when we are asleep. Tiredness and exhaustion deprive the skin of the energy it needs to recover and regenerate.

  • Protect the skin – a balance skin can easily become dry if it is not protected from the weather, extremes of temperature, central heating, sunlight, pollution and cosmetics. Wear a moisturiser to create a barrier between the skin and outside elements. Avoid exposing the skin to strong sunlight.

  • Exercise regularly apart from stimulating the flow of blood and supply of oxygen to the body tissues, regular exercise speeds up cell division and helps to build collagen.

  • Keep the skin clean – do not allow dirt and grime to build up which could block the pores and irritate the skin.

  • Avoid harsh treatment - do not pull or stretch the skin. Be gentle when washing the face and using skin-care products. Remember that blood vessels are very near the surface of the skin and can be easily damaged.

  • Do not smoke – besides being extremely hazardous to general health, smoking produces gases which are carried around the body in the blood stream in preference to oxygen. As a consequence, the cells do not receive enough nourishment. The skin suffers oxygen starvation. Other chemicals produced in the body by smoking, interfere with the protein fibres in the skin and deplete the body of vitamin C which is essential for healthy skin.

  • Control the intake of alcohol – alcohol raises the blood pressure and causes the capillaries to dilate. Over a period of time, this can cause the walls of the capillaries to rupture and become permanently damaged. In the short term, excessive alcohol produces chemicals in the body, which dehydrate the skin. In the longer term, puffiness of the tissues, coarsening of the texture of skin texture, fine lines and wrinkles and chronic redness of the skin occur.
