The Experience
SKINWORK is situated in a relatively quiet nook in the centre of Soho, at the bottom of the street food hub on Berwick Street – an unlikely oasis amongst the hustle and bustle of the district.
The design of the place is clean, with pastel greens and spacious surfaces containing their Instagram-worthy products. The treatment room is uncommonly spacious and even the massage table itself is heated, with a lift for your knees and a blanket in case you need it. I’m immediately relaxed from the heat on my back and shoulders and nothing has even happened yet.
Before we start, I am asked about my skincare routine, and we cover everything from sunscreen to serums. My face is double cleansed and then steamed using hot clothes (not a steamer, which can dry out your skin). I am then dowsed in a cotton vitamin C treatment and given an arm and shoulder massage, followed by a deep clean, which includes a Microdermabrasion. A very gentle Perfecting Peel is applied next and I barely feel a thing as my face is fanned with cool air. Finally, a moisturiser and SPF are applied and I’m sent back out into the world feeling as fresh as a daisy.
The Results
For months, I have been harbouring a clogged up maskne nose that just won’t quit, but just one trip to Skinworks and my pores are not only cleared up but my face is fresher, cleaner and – frankly – glowing. I feel like Lockdown has been sucked away using the latest in high-tech facial tools. No, skin isn’t everything, but it’s a good place to start…
