​But there are so many products and services now available that it can often leave you wondering where to begin.

As summer now approaches, now is the time to transition into the warmer season by giving the skin on our faces a good old refresh and exfoliation by removing old dead skin cells and rejuvenating and hydrating the top layer of our skin.

The treatment involves using a minimally abrasive instrument to gently buff your skin, removing the top layer of dead skin cells and has many benefits including leaving your skin with a smoother, brighter looking complexion and more even skin tone.

Allowing your skin care products to absorb better.

For the best results from facials, it is recommended that treatments take place on a monthly basis as part of a maintenance schedule for your skin.

If you have a specific skin concern you would like to address, such as acne, you can opt for a course of weekly treatments then move onto a monthly programme.

Facials at The Secret Sanctuary not only offer you great results for your skin, but also gives you a moment to relax and take time for yourself as most include a relaxing scalp massage and facial massage.

All facial treatments at The Secret Sanctuary use high quality skin care products which include ingredients such as hyaluronic acids. Hyaluronic acid is vital for keeping our skin hydrated which in turn prevents the signs of aging.

Following treatments, aftercare is paramount for your skin journey and at the salon, they stock a great range of products for you to purchase which can be added to your daily skin care regime that your skin will really love you for.
