My First HydraFacial At Bristol Aesthetics

Years ago, well, when I was first considering the idea of moving to the UK. I had a part-time job where I was personal assisting a woman who was in a wheelchair.

One of her care staff came into work one day, and I instantly had to ask her what she is using on her skin.
You see, this girl didn’t have bad skin per se, however, she did have quite large pores.

… But yet today, her pores were practically invisible. She mentioned she had a facial called a “HydraFacial”… From that moment, this was a facial that was at the top of my list to try, the minute that my life was settled and I had the extra finances to do so.

Little did I know that not too long after this moment, I would head over to the UK on a solo trip, meet a guy, and move my life over to England 6 months later.

As someone with fairly large pores, this tends to be one of my areas of concern. Although I know that pores are totally normal, I find that due to producing a high level of sebum, my pores can look quite large, and not give a polished finish.

So when Bristol Aesthetics invited me in to experience my first HydraFacial, I leaped at the opportunity.

A signature HydraFacial is compromised of 6 steps:

Step 1 – Detox

A specially formulated lymphatic drainage technique helps increase circulation, eliminating toxins.

Step 2 – Cleansing & Exfoliation

Dead skin cells and impurities are gently lifted for a deep-cleansing result.

Step 3 – Brightening Agent

A gentle glycolic and salicylic solution helps loosen debris from your pores, brightening your skin.

Step 4 – Extraction

Blackheads and impurities in congested areas are extracted using honey extract and salicylic acid.

Step 5 – Hydration

A combination of hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and peptides replenish, plump, and hydrate your skin.

Step 6 – Rejuvenation

LED light is used to stimulate collagen and also reduces redness, leaving your skin glowing.
