Procedure
The innovative facial uses both elements of heat (Fire) and cold (Ice) treatment. The “Fire” part of the facial is an intensive resurfacing masque, using ingredients such as cinnamon, the heat is transferred onto the face giving a slight burning sensation. Do not fret! This section of the facial is fairly short and last roughly 3-5minutes.
The next step in the facial is to cleanse the face of the “fire” masque and to put on the rejuvenating “Ice” Masque. As the name suggests, the “ice” part is indeed cooling and soothing, it aims to intensively hydrating your skin. This part of the facial is completely relaxing and you may even fall asleep whilst being pampered by the cooling treatment. After 20minutes, the masque comes off leaving your skin glowing.
The Fire & Ice Facial can be repeated every 4 – 6 weeks, for a series of 6 treatments. You will be able to see the incremental differences in the appearance of your skin with each additional treatment.
