The room had a clinical feel to it, but still dim and relaxing. Bridget began with an initial cleanse, covered my eyes and then examined my skin under a light to get a better idea of my skin’s needs. First, I received the Glycolic Cleanser, which uses glycolic acid to prep the skin for treatment. After that, she ran a vibrating Clarisonic Cleansing Brush across my face, which uses a sonic frequency to achieve a deeper pore cleanse. For the next few minutes, Bridget focused on cleaning out every single zit and blackhead on my face in a process called “extractions.” A slightly uncomfortable, but very liberating experience! After that, she put a brightening and tightening 24k Gold Mask on my face and covered my eyes with a rubberizing eye mask, which uses marine collagen to tighten, hydrate and plump the eye area. While the mask dried, Bridget massaged my arms and shoulders. At this point, I was in that wonderful, calm state in between sleeping and waking. I really enjoyed the relaxing, herbal aromas of the mask and massage oil. After several minutes, Bridget removed the mask by simply peeling it off. Next, she delivered a stream of pressurized oxygen infused with vitamins and antioxidants directly to my face. The stream of air felt cool and rejuvenating as it hydrated and softened my skin. She then applied a little bit of tinted moisturizer, congratulated me on having my first facial and left me to get dressed. I emerged from the cozy facial bed and looked at my face in the mirror. It was like seeing a perfectly airbrushed version of myself! My skin was even, soft and glowing. In the weeks following the facial, I’m happy to say I’ve worn nothing more than a little sheer primer on my face. Instead of foundation or powder, I’m able to wear the beautiful, natural glow of my own skin with confidence! If you’re looking to take your skincare to the next level, to feel and look your best, I highly recommend the experts at Synergy Spa and Aesthetics.
