Ladies, if you book yourself in for one facial this autumn/winter, then make it The Ark Facial.
Using Dermalogica products, this complete facial delivers a holistic experience, balancing the mind and body in the most relaxing of surroundings, and leaves your skin looking and feeling years younger.
It is one of the most thorough, cleansing, facials we've tried here on the Life & Style team and left our skin feeling dewy fresh, youthful and radiant.
The facial involves a triple-pronged technique to analyse your skin: a face mapping system which combines a visual examination of the complexion under a high powered magnifying lense, a secondary examination by touch and a final 'reading' of the skin as an indicator of internal organ health, drawing upon the centuries old tradition of Chinese Facial Diagnosis.
Each and every Ark Facial will be different as the therapist tailors the treatment to your skin's unique needs.
After the initial consultation and face mapping, the Ark therapist deep cleanses the skin with a double cleanse, followed by a facial steam, exfoliation, extraction and an appropriate mask. And while the mask is working its magic, the therapist allows you to relax completely with a full neck and head massage.
The treatment is finished with the application of concentrated boosters and moisturisers to seal in the benefits and hydrate the skin. It's the ultimate pick-me-up treatment guaranteed to leave you feeling and looking gorgeous as you welcome in the party season.
The Ark Facial lasts for 75 mins and is £70. Available at Ark's flagship store in Kensington Church Street, Kensington, and Wimbledon, Putney, Fulham and Holland Park branches.
