'I could feel the ingredients getting to work'

Blisslabs Active 99.0 Facial

The Blurb:

Combining advanced ingredients with microdermabrasion, micro-current toning technology, a professional strength peel and pore-purging extractions, Bliss Spa’s intensive facial has launched in conjunction with their new professional grade skincare line with 99% active ingredients, Blisslabs Active 99.0%.

This facial jumpstarts youthful cellular skin functions to firm, smooth, and reduce wrinkles, and discolorations. The aim: to knock years off your skin in under two hours.

The Process:

I was a little nervous about trying this facial because my skin is sensitive and I’ve previously reacted badly to a fruit-based facial. I was soon put at ease in the hands of the expert therapist Jennifer, who adapted the facial to my skin.

I could feel the ingredients getting to work, from the cooling oxygen wrap to the warmth of the red and blue light therapy. Jennifer gently cleansed, exfoliated, extracted, toned and massaged my skin and even though some tough measures (microdermabrasion scares me) and a powerhouse complex of ingredients were used (the essential active serum includes niacinamide, kojic acid, phyto-retinoids and gardenia, for example), I was able to leave looking fresh-faced rather than shiny and blotchy, which is often the case after a facial. Jennifer also gave me some great tips, including putting eye gel on before face cream (and to use eye cream at night).

The Result:

‘You look like a new person,’ my friend and colleague said the following morning.
