Refresh tired, dull-looking skin
A facial can combine cleansing, exfoliation, hydration and a mask to leave the skin feeling fresher and more comfortable.
01
Personalised Facial Treatments
Facials in Malta
Professional facial treatments designed around your skin rather than a one-size-fits-all routine. Your facial may include cleansing, exfoliation, extractions where appropriate, masks and moisturising, with the treatment adapted to your skin type and concerns.
What a facial can help with
Most people book a facial with one of these aims in mind. Tell your beautician which matters most to you, and your facial is adjusted once your skin has been checked.
Hydration
For skin that feels dry or tight.
02Deep cleansing
For a more thorough cleanse than a home routine, with extractions where appropriate.
03Gentle care
For sensitive skin. Products and intensity are adjusted around any sensitivities or allergies you tell us about.
04Regular maintenance
For keeping your skin in good condition as part of a regular routine, rather than treating one specific concern.
05What happens during a facial?
Most facials take around an hour, although the exact steps depend on the treatment selected and what your skin needs on the day.
Skin check
Your beautician reviews your skin type, sensitivities and the result you are hoping to achieve.
Prepare the skin
Your facial begins with cleansing and preparation before the more targeted steps.
Exfoliate & nourish
Depending on the facial, this may include exfoliation, extractions where needed, masks and hydration.
Aftercare guidance
Before you leave, your beautician explains how to look after your skin over the next day or two and when another facial may be useful.
Before and after your facial
Facials generally have little to no downtime. Temporary sensitivity or redness can occur after a facial, depending on the products and techniques used.
For the first day or two
Avoid unnecessary direct sun exposure and use sensible sun protection.
Avoid harsh scrubs or strong exfoliating products for a few days.
Avoid picking or touching irritated areas unnecessarily.
Follow any product-specific advice your beautician gives you.
Before your appointment
Arrive with your skin as calm as possible and tell your beautician about sensitivities, allergies, recent sun exposure and strong skincare products. If your skin is irritated or damaged, the treatment may need to be adjusted or postponed.

A facial gives your skin a more thorough cleanse than a home routine, with exfoliation, extractions where appropriate, a mask and hydration.
