1. Elemis Biotech Radiance Facial at Sleeping Beauty Salon (£84)
A healthy, gorgeous glow in 50 minutes…
Elemis, a trusted name in skincare, presents the Biotech Radiance Facial at Sleeping Beauty Salon. This signature deep-cleansing skin wellness treatment harnesses the power of prebiotics and antioxidants to deliver a lit-from-within glow. After just one 50-minute session, your skin will appear visibly refreshed and rebalanced.
The secret lies in the technology: microcurrents, ultrasonic exfoliation, LED therapy, and oxygen infusion. The three-step process includes:
- Ultrasonic Exfoliation: Say goodbye to dead skin cells as ultrasonic waves gently remove impurities.
- Galvanic Battery Effect: Elemis products penetrate deeper, nourishing your skin from within.
- Oxygen Infusion: Pure oxygen plumps and hydrates, leaving you with a brighter, more youthful appearance.
The Elemis Superfood product range, packed with vegan-friendly superfoods, complements this facial perfectly.
