What is a back facial?
A back facial is a relaxing treatment that targets an often-neglected body part: the back. There are countless benefits to this multitasking facial firstly, the massaging releases endorphins and eases any muscle tension.
Our backs deserve so much more care, so we have implemented this effective facial treatment which is designed to clean, exfoliate, extract and moisturise our beloved backs.
This hard to-reach area is prone to breakouts, blackheads and dry skin so each step in our back facial procedure is catered to overcome every one of these common problems. So, unwind and show your back some love with this new treatment!
How long does a back facial take and what is the downtime?
This treatment lasts around 60 minutes however, the time does vary. The downtime is extremely minimal which means you can get straight back into your daily routine after having this lovely treatment done.
What is the procedure when getting a back facial?
The steps in this treatment are like those in a regular facial.
Our aestheticians begin this calming facial by gently steaming the back. Steaming is important because it helps to open the pores, this allows for an easier extraction of any built-up dirt, dead skin cells, sebum and pesky blackheads.
The warm steam also promotes better blood circulation and the release of toxins, it is proven that the increase in temperature and blood circulation results in products being better absorbed into the skin, this means any products you apply to your back will work more efficiently.
Steaming alone will already give you a great natural glow and fresh feeling.
Step two involves our aestheticians applying a coat of hydrating cleanser to the skin.
The cleanser is used to strip away any impurities like dirt, sweat and dead skin cells from the skin and to provide intense moisture.
After softly massaging the cleanser around the skin, making sure to reach all the hard-to-get spots, we then remove the cleanser with a warm and damp towel.
After cleaning our backs, they are primed for exfoliation. In step three our aestheticians will use an exfoliating device across the back.
Exfoliation is a vital step in everyone’s skincare routine, and we know how hard it can be to properly exfoliate the back by yourself.
Exfoliation is very important for several reasons the first being, it removes the barrier of dead skin cells which leads to clogged pores and bacteria accumulating, which are things nobody wants.
When you remove old and dead skin cells this reveals new ones below, this process is key in achieving bright and dewy skin with an even tone and smooth texture.
At this stage our aestheticians will carefully massage a special mask packed with a combination of valuable ingredients designed to further exfoliate the skin and help it get back its shine and softness.

Once the extractions have been completed, we implement LED light therapy which helps to calm any irritation which may have been caused during the exfoliation or extraction phases.
LED light therapy also kills acne causing bacteria which may still be lingering on the skin and decreases production of oil in the sebaceous glands which would have later gone on to block hair follicles and cause acne.
The LED lights act on fibroblasts which are cells in the skin that secrete collagen proteins. Collagen is a very important protein responsible for the hydration and strength of your skin.
Our aestheticians complete the back facial by massaging a moisturising serum into the skin, which will now be absorbed deeper thanks to the previous steps.
