Top Secret In-Clinic Protocol for our Enzyme Smoothing Facial

Tis the Season to Glow

Happy Holidays everyone! Tis the season of giving and we want to give all of our beautiful clients a gift to themselves this silly season. We know in-clinic treatments may be a little bit out of the budget for some this year (does anyone else have a fuel voucher on their Santa wish list? 😛), but we don’t want that to mean you have to miss out on feeling like your best self as we come into peak Party Season!

SO we have decided to share with you our step-by-step protocol for our in-clinic Festive Glow-Up Facial along with the links to get everything you need from our online shop, so you can repeat the facial over and over and over again!

Below you will find our full product listing and protocol with some added self-care touches recommended from our team. Feel free to substitute these products with any of your favourite cleansers, exfoliants, masks, serums or moisturisers you may already have. The facial can be as quick or as ‘luxurious’ as you want to make it.

For a pre-party glow, we recommend you plan your pampering as close as the night before (so your skin can soak in all the goodness of your finishing products while you sleep), or up to 3 days out if you are working in with a tanning schedule. If you are setting yourself a ‘self care’ goal for the new year, this facial can be repeated on a weekly basis with our team’s favourite night being a Sunday to start the week fresh, or a Wednesday night (to mark the start of a new tan week IYKYK).

Step by Step

Step 1

Option to either complete your double cleanse in the shower if that is your preference, or put your Face Fit Cleansing Cuffs onto your wrists in preparation for cleansing at the sink.

Step 2

Dispense 1 pump of Cosmedix Purity Solution into dry hands and massage onto a dry face (if showering, do this before you are wet). Take this opportunity to give your face a nice massage, getting into all the areas of your face, eyes, under the jaw etc. After massaging for about 30 seconds, wet your hands and then continue to massage your face allowing the water to emulsify with the oil cleanser. After another 30 seconds rinse off and use your Face Fit Cleansing pad to wipe your face clean.

Step 3

Next dispense a pump of Aspect Dr Mild Clean into your wet palms and rub together until the cleanser has become bubbly. Gently repeat the process of cleansing your face for 30-60 seconds before rinsing your face in the water and again using your cleansing pad to ensure any remaining dirt or make-up is completely removed from the face.

Step 4

Gently pat dry your face and use a headband or towel to ensure that all your hair is back off your face.

Step 5

Next step is the Aspect Fruit Enzyme Mask. We love this product because it is effective but gentle and therefore suitable for nearly all skin types. Enzyme exfoliants are generally tolerated better than granular exfoliants for a lot of more sensitive skin types (and leave your skin with a beautiful soft after glow).

Step 6

Dispense 1 pump or approximately a 5c piece worth of product into the palm of your hand and massage onto the face (avoiding the eye area). Once you have covered the whole face (and neck and decolletage if you want to treat them too), massage the product into your skin using your fingertips to work in small circles moving all over the face. You can either keep working all over the face or work on one area until you feel the product ‘liquify’ then move on. As you move over the face and continue massaging the product you will feel the gel start to liquify and then begin to ball. Continue massaging until the product has balled all over the face.

Step 7

Use your Face Fit Cleansing pad to remove the product from your face.

Step 8

Next step is the Aspect Hydration Mask! Your product will last longer if you use your fingertips to apply a roughly 5c piece amount to your face (similar to how you would apply your moisturiser), but for a little bit more of a luxurious experience, get yourself a mask brush and apply it with that! (we can’t explain why but there is something extra special about using a mask brush whether it’s in clinic or at home).

Step 9

Once you have covered your face with the hydration mask, make yourself a cup of tea, read a book, pop on an episode or a meditation, whatever it is that makes you feel relaxed.

Step 10

Leave the mask on for about 20-30 minutes, rinse off, pat your face dry with a towel and apply either Aspect Marine Hydrating Youth Oil or Aspect Dr Redless as your choice of serum (beautiful oil based serums that are rich in omega 3’s), followed by Phytostat as the last step in your at home facial 🙂
