It’s a common refrain among urbanites that they simply don’t have enough time to spare on indulgences and non-essential activities. Like high tea and day spas. Or facials, because self-care and beauty maintenance are often the first to go when we’re strapped for time.
To serve this large swathe of consumers and address their need for speed, a growing number of facial salons and med-spas are offering express facials that can typically be done in 30 minutes or less.
Dr Michelle Wong of IDS Clinic says: “Express facials are a quick lunchtime solution for busy individuals looking to refresh their skin with a deep cleanse and exfoliation, and a great way for them to sneak in some ‘me-time’ for relaxation.
“Such treatments are also useful for those who need a quick rejuvenation before an important event, as they can expect to leave with more supple and radiant skin after a quick hydrating face mask or an oxygen infusion treatment.”
QUICK AND EASY
While express facials are not a new thing, they are increasingly common, with some salons even making fast treatments their entire selling point.
