About Men's
Men's skin is different — typically thicker and oilier, with larger pores and the daily irritation of shaving to contend with. This facial is tailored to those needs: a thorough deep cleanse, attention to ingrown hairs and razor irritation, calming and hydration, and a no-fuss finish.
It's practical, relaxing and increasingly popular — a straightforward way to look well-rested and take care of your skin.

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. It's fine to shave before, but not immediately before — give the skin a few hours to settle if you can.
During treatment
A double cleanse and exfoliation clear congestion, followed by extractions where needed, a calming and hydrating serum applied with a relaxing massage, and a mask suited to your skin. Around fifty minutes.
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 looks clearer, calmer and more rested straight away, and shaving is more comfortable over the following days. A treatment every four to six weeks keeps skin in good condition, and Mona can suggest a simple routine to maintain it.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
I've never had a facial — what should I expect?
A relaxing, unhurried treatment with clear explanations. Mona will tell you what she's doing and why, and there's no jargon or hard sell.
Will it help ingrown hairs?
Yes — exfoliation, extractions and calming products reduce ingrown hairs and razor irritation, and Mona can advise on shaving technique and products.
Should I shave beforehand?
You can, but leave a few hours between shaving and the facial so the skin isn't freshly irritated.
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.
Will I be sold products?
Mona will recommend home care if it will help your result, but there's never any pressure to buy.
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.
