Disclaimer: PR Appointment – I have not been taken care of this feature. 
During the summer holidays (which seem like a distant memory now) I'd the pleasure of reviewing two different facials – they literally could not be further from one another, yet both were absolutely amazing! The first I want to tell you about his the Aquafacial by Aquapure, which I had at Venn Healthcare near Harley Street, Manchester.
If you’ve ever had a Hydrafacial then you’ll have a rough idea of what the Aquafacial is like. I really like Hydrafacials, but I tread very carefully with them as they involve a lot of manual exfoliation that makes me nervous, as I don’t think our delicate little faces are built for such rough scrubbing. If your sentiments are similar, the Aquafacial is the one for you, as it’s like a powerful yet more gentle version, with some more steps and a little more action.
The Aquafacial focuses around the Aquapure facial system, that is a hydradermabrasion device that lightly exfoliates whilst also encouraging product absorption. After the cleanse and make-up removal, the facial begins with a series of product applications applied through various wands attached to the machine. My personal facial began with the Lactic Acid peel, followed by the Sebo+ step that involves more lovely, yet gentle acids (Lactic again, plus certainly one of my favourites, Salicylic), then the final product application involves Hyaluronic Acid and Kernel Extract to hydrate and sooth.
Next is the Electroportation, which pushes products into the skin and feels quite strange – just short of painful, but definitely not intolerable. Micro-current is next, to tighten and lift the jaw line, then your final step is the Cooling/Heating stage, which provides a number of benefits, but the main one for me is the cooling step, which soothes redness and calms skin all the way down – if you’re prone to redness following a facial then this final step is essential. I also received a lymphatic drainage massage included in my treatment, and honestly my skin looked and felt incredible afterwards – bright, glowing, even and surprisingly clear. I'd absolutely recommend this facial, especially as it isn’t excessively expensive with prices starting at lb80. Find out more info here – .
