For Dehydration: Dr Barbara Sturm Signature SturmGlow
If you like your facials with a side of serious interiors envy, head to Dr Sturm’s chic Mount Street flagship for a deeply restorative facial that helps to transform dehydrated, lacklustre skin. Using the brand’s bestselling Hyaluronic Acid Serum as a foundation, it employs a hardworking combination of cleansing, exfoliation and massage to boost circulation, improve hydration and redefine contours.

For A Skin Overhaul: Teresa Tarmey Skin Rejuvenation Tribella
There isn’t much Teresa can’t do from her showstopping Notting Hill clinic. For a complete skin treat with a focus on all-round revitalisation (targeting everything from pores to unevenness and scarring), the Tribella Skin Rejuvenation facial uses a powerhouse trio of radio frequency, fractional radio frequency and IPL to tighten skin, refine its texture, and reduce pigmentation and thread veins. The dual radio frequency programme also works to stimulate the skin’s own collagen and hyaluronic acid production so you’re helping to encourage firmness and a juicier, springier feel long after the facial is over. It’s little wonder A-listers like Julianne Moore can’t keep away.

For Firming: FaceGym Signature Sculpt
Billed as workouts for your skin, the six targeted facials available at FaceGym will give your skin the kickstart it needs, particularly if you’re prone to slackening skin around the jawline. If you don’t know where to start, go for the Signature Sculpt, which is the original high-intensity treatment and uses electrical muscle stimulation technology to lift and tone every contour. Also expect your therapist to knuckle under your cheekbones and take full advantage of the brand’s clever tools, which include the Multi-Sculpt tool to release tension and the Weighted Face Ball to depuff and relax muscles. The whole thing might feel a bit unusual at first, but take it from us: one go and you will be hooked.

For Hyperpigmentation: D. Thomas DNA Laser Complete Grade 2
Whether your pigmentation issues are caused by UV exposure, heat, prescription medications, products or hormonal changes, if they’re bothering you, get yourself booked in to see one of Debbie’s skilled therapists. This one is packed with everything from lasers to extra skin boosters including peels, microdermabrasion and LED light therapy that work on the pigmentation itself, but it also addresses overall skin texture, inflammation and acne and rosacea. A word of warning though: if you are committed to treating your pigmentation properly, a single facial won’t cut it. Stick to a recommended course and be prepared to continue the good work at home.
