Why You Need To Try EverySkin's iS Clinical Advanced Facial

EverySkin Facial at Space NK
As much as I love all things skincare, I consistently fail when it comes to giving my face the ultimate pamper – a (sometimes very much needed) facial. Now that EverySkin, one of London’s most accessible aesthetic clinics, has opened a clinic at Space NK Duke of York and Battersea there really is no excuse though. From results-driven facials to microneedling and peels, EverySkin has a treatment for every skin type and concern.

Looking for a speedy skincare pick-me-up? The Vitamin C Boost & Go is a firm favourite among EverySkin regulars as it utilises the power of vitamin C and LED Light Therapy to dial up your radiance. Maybe your focus is on decongesting your pores? If so, you'll enjoy The All Rounder Peel, which loosens blocked pores and helps to hydrate skin. My skin was feeling dry and decongested, so I opted for the iS Clinical Advanced Facial. EverySkin describes the 60-minute treatment as a next-gen version of the classic facial. It's suitable for all skin types and uses pharma-grade botanicals to ensure you walk away with a healthy glow.

The iS Clinical Advanced Facial is £120 for 60 minutes and I was hoping it would help reboot my skin before summer kicks in. Here's everything you need to know based on my experience, including before and after photos.

BEFORE MY EVERYSKIN FACIAL

Once I’d completed my booking, I was asked to fill out a form where I had to answer a range of health and skincare questions (this didn’t take more than a few minutes). On the day of the facial, the skin therapist went over my form and answers before giving me an overview of what the facial would entail. One of the most vital questions was whether I was on any subscribed form of vitamin A, as this facial involves a mild form of exfoliation.

Other than eyeliner, I made sure I was makeup-free, and wore a top I could expose my shoulders easily as a mild shoulder massage is part of the treatment. This all helped me feel relaxed from the get-go!

DURING MY EVERYSKIN FACIAL

The EverySkin iS Clinical Advanced Facial is designed to get you glowing by exfoliating and deeply cleansing your pores with formulas powered by bio active ingredients and extraction – something which is incredibly necessary for me as I struggle with clogged pores. The facial started off with a double cleanse with a warm honey cleanser that my skin therapist applied with lifting and lymphatic drainage techniques. I found this incredibly soothing, and after the cleanse my skin therapist checked my complexion with a treatment lamp to double check the facial would suit my needs and concerns.

The facial included Rejuvenating LED Light Therapy – if you’ve experienced this, you’ll know you can still ‘feel’ the brightness on the skin despite your eyes being covered. It wasn’t the best part of the facial for me, but I think it's important to note that I didn't find it uncomfortable. This was followed with a gentle exfoliation using iS Clinical's Tri Active Exfoliating Masque and a steam to deeply cleanse and polish my skin. The therapist also proceeded with extraction at this point – she was very careful so I felt very little (if any) discomfort, which is great given how congested my skin was!

The facial ended with the iS Clinical Hydra Intensive Cooling Masque together with a massage technique to boost hydration. For me, this was probably the most soothing part and I could have fallen asleep. The treatment finished with a few products tailored to my skin type including SPF.

AFTER MY EVERYSKIN FACIAL

I left my EverySkin facial session feeling relaxed and glowing – I was surprised by the fact that my face didn’t look the least bit red (I've included a photo I took immediately after as proof!).

The therapist asked me not to use any active and exfoliating ingredients on the same day as my facial, so I made a point of cleansing my skin with the gentlest cleanser I own and used a soothing moisturiser in my evening routine. I loved how my skin looked the next day and was pleased to see that I was still glowing at least five days after my facial. My skin can be sensitive at times, but it didn’t react in any way to the products used throughout the session.

THE VERDICT ON THE EVERYSKIN FACIAL

In short, I loved my EverySkin facial. Not only was it very, very relaxing, but I was impressed by the radiant results that lasted for a good few days following my treatment, as you can see below. Some of the products had a very mild tingling effect on my skin, which it didn’t bother me as I’m one of those people who likes to feel a tingle to believe the skincare is doing something!

Additionally, my skin felt extremely smooth, which is a big plus when skin texture is one of your biggest skin woes. Would I recommend this iS Clinical treatment to everyone? Yes, I think so as it’s a facial that is designed to work for everyone – including pregnant women. What I loved most about the entire experience was how knowledgeable and informative my therapist was. As someone who doesn't have regular treatments, I felt relaxed and reassured thanks to the time and care she took to go through my skin concerns and the what I should expect from the treatment. I also didn't feel judged or self-conscious about my skin.

Because my skin is quite textured, she recommended I try microneedling and peels, so while I would definitely recommend this facial to anyone who needs a true glow-up or hydration boost, I will definitely opt for a more intensive treatment next time I visit EverySkin!
