What it actually is

Some Things Don't Need Reinventing.

There's always something new in skincare, but the European Facial has stuck around for a reason. A proper cleanse, gentle exfoliation, extractions where they're needed, massage, and a mask chosen for your skin still make for a very good facial.

What really makes this one different is the time. We give it the full 90 minutes, including plenty of massage through the face, neck, shoulders, and décolleté. It isn't there just to fill out the appointment. It's part of what makes the European Facial feel completely different from a quick treatment.

You still get the skin work — cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, and whatever your skin needs that day — but there's also time to slow down. If you want one appointment that takes care of your skin and actually feels relaxing, this is the one we usually recommend.

The appointment

90 Minutes, Start to Finish.

Cleanse and Take a Look

We start with a thorough cleanse, then take a proper look at your skin before deciding what the rest of the facial needs to focus on.

Exfoliate

We choose the exfoliation based on your skin that day — enough to smooth and refresh it without pushing it harder than it needs.

Extractions, If Needed

If there are clogged pores that need attention, we take care of them. If your skin doesn't need much extraction work, we don't force it into the facial just because it's on the list.

Massage and Mask

This is where we slow things down. Face, neck, shoulders, and décolleté are worked through with massage, followed by a mask chosen for your skin.

Why people come back

What You Can Reasonably Expect.

Genuinely Relaxing

There's real time built in for massage. Face, neck, shoulders, and décolleté are worked slowly instead of being squeezed into the last few minutes.

Fresher-Looking Skin

After cleansing, exfoliation, and massage, skin usually looks a little brighter, smoother, and less tired.

Easy to Adjust

We change the exfoliation, extractions, mask, and finishing products depending on what your skin needs that day. It isn't the exact same facial every time.

Time to Actually Slow Down

You get the full 90 minutes. Nothing is rushed, and there's enough time to take care of your skin without turning the appointment into a procedure.

Being straight with you

When This Facial Makes Sense — and When It Doesn't.

A Good Fit If

You want a proper facial with plenty of time for massage and relaxation
Your skin is generally doing well and you want to keep it that way
You'd rather have a traditional hands-on facial than a treatment built around devices or stronger exfoliation
You're booking a facial as a gift and aren't sure what treatment to choose

Probably Not the Right Facial If

You have a lot of clogged pores or blackheads that need focused extraction work. The Deep Cleansing Facial may make more sense.
Your main concern is uneven texture, pigmentation, or something that needs a more targeted treatment
You're dealing with active breakouts, significant congestion, or very reactive skin that needs more specific attention

If this isn't the right facial for your skin, we'll tell you. We'd rather point you toward something that makes more sense than put you into the European Facial just because it's the one you originally had in mind.

Questions

What People Ask Before Booking.

Is this the same as a basic facial?

It's the traditional facial most people picture when they think of getting a facial — cleansing, exfoliation, extractions where needed, massage, and a mask. The difference here is that we give it the full 90 minutes, so nothing feels rushed.

Will it help with a specific skin concern?

It can help with general dryness, dullness, light congestion, and keeping otherwise healthy skin in good shape. If you're dealing with active acne, heavier congestion, pigmentation, or another specific concern, one of the more targeted treatments may make more sense. We'll tell you if that's the case.

Can I have a European Facial before an event?

Yes. It's a good choice when you want your skin looking fresh without doing anything overly aggressive. If it's your first facial with us or your skin tends to be reactive, we'd still rather see you a few days before the event than the night before.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Often, yes. The exfoliation, extractions, mask, and finishing products can all be adjusted depending on how sensitive your skin is. If your skin is very irritated or reacting to something when you come in, we may simplify the facial or recommend waiting.

What is included in the massage?

The massage includes the face, neck, shoulders, and décolleté, and we actually give it time. It isn't the quick few minutes at the end of the facial before moving on to the next step.

Are extractions included?

Yes, when your skin needs them. If we see clogged pores or blackheads that can be cleared comfortably, we take care of them. If there isn't much to extract, we don't spend half the appointment looking for something to squeeze.

Is this a good facial for a first-time client?

Yes. If you've never had a facial before and don't have one major skin concern you're trying to correct, the European Facial is an easy place to start. It lets us get to know your skin while still giving you the full facial experience.

Is there any downtime?

Usually very little. You may have some temporary pinkness if extractions were done, but this isn't meant to be an aggressive treatment that has you hiding for the next few days.

How often should I get a European Facial?

There's no schedule everyone has to follow. Some clients like coming in every four to six weeks, while others book one whenever their skin feels like it needs attention or they simply want the time to relax.

Can I wear makeup afterward?

You can, but if you don't need to, giving your skin the rest of the day without makeup is even better. It has just been cleansed, exfoliated, and treated, so there's no rush to cover it back up.
