What to expect
Before treatment
Mona begins every facial with a skin assessment and a chat about your concerns, routine and any sensitivities or conditions, so the treatment and products are matched to your skin on the day. Arrive with a clean face if you can; there's nothing else to prepare.
During treatment
After a cleanse, Mona applies the mask chosen for your skin, leaving it to work while you relax, then removes it and finishes with serum and moisturiser. Around thirty minutes as a standalone; a few extra minutes as an add-on.
After treatment
Skin looks calm, hydrated and glowing. Mona finishes with serum, moisturiser and SPF, and talks through home care to keep the results going.
Results & longevity
Skin feels immediately more comfortable, hydrated or clearer depending on the mask, with the effect lasting a week or so. Regular masks between facials help maintain results.
Recovery, side effects & aftercare
Facials have no downtime — skin looks fresh, hydrated and calm as you leave, and make-up can go straight back on if you'd like it to (though most people prefer to let the skin breathe for the evening).
Side effects
A mild, temporary flush is the usual extent of it. Skin that's had extractions can show small pink marks for a day. Very occasionally a product causes a mild reaction in sensitive skin, which is why Mona assesses your skin and history first and can patch-test where needed.
Aftercare
Let the products work — avoid heavy make-up, exfoliants, retinol and strong actives for 24 hours, and stay out of strong sun, saunas and heat for the rest of the day. Drink water, and use SPF daily. Mona will recommend home care to extend the results.
Please contact us if you notice persistent redness, itching or a rash after your facial.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which mask will I have?
That depends on your skin on the day — Mona chooses from GUINOT's range for hydration, firmness, calming, clarifying or radiance.
Can I add a mask to any facial?
Yes — it's the simplest way to customise a treatment.
How long does a standalone mask take?
Around thirty minutes including cleansing.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Mona assesses your skin first and adapts products and techniques; many treatments have gentle options, and the bespoke facial is designed around sensitive conditions such as rosacea and eczema.
How often should I have a facial?
For visible, lasting change, every four to six weeks matches the skin's renewal cycle. For maintenance or a treat, whenever you like — Mona will suggest a rhythm that suits your skin and budget.
Can I wear make-up afterwards?
You can, but the skin looks its best bare after a facial, and letting the products settle for a few hours makes the most of the treatment.
What happens at the start?
A short skin assessment and conversation about your concerns, routine and any sensitivities, so the facial is tailored to you on the day.
