I explained that my skin was dry but sensitive and that I had blocked pores which were my main concern. The products used were an unfamiliar brand but I am not averse to trying something new. However, from beginning to end my skin did not feel thoroughly cleansed and the products left my skin feeling more dry. When the facial had finished. my skin was very red and I had hoped it was just a post facial glow but the next day it was still red and even more dry, if that were possible.
I have never had a facial in the dark before, how can you address skin problems with no light? I was also surprised that the room was so warm. I would have preferred a well ventilated beauty room given Covid concerns. Initially, I thought the facial was too cheap having paid double and triple in Dubai & London. However, I assumed it was reflecting the market rates in Cambridge and the time frame of 45 minutes.
I can honestly say that I am disappointed because I had previously visited this salon and had a very positive experience, although quite some time ago pre-pandemic.
Would recommend and will be back!
