How Hydrating Facials Improve Skin Health


Moisture Restoration for Dry Skin

Hydrating facials work by delivering moisture deep into the skin, addressing dryness, flakiness, and irritation. Our signature Sano facials help to replenish lost moisture and improve the skin’s ability to retain moisture, ensuring longer-lasting hydration.


Boosts Collagen Production and Elasticity

The hydrating ingredients used in these facials, such as hyaluronic acid, help the skin's natural ability to retain moisture as well as infusing the skin with the extra moisture it needs to stay firm, plump and youthful.  The peptides and antioxidants help to stimulate collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity, increasing firmness and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.


Immediate and Long-Term Benefits of Hydrating Facials


Immediate Glow and Brighter Complexion

Hydrating facials remove dead skin cells through gentle exfoliation, allowing new skin to emerge. This results in a brighter, smoother and more radiant complexion immediately after treatment.


Long-Term Skin Health

As we go through the seasons our skin can become imbalanced. Without proper attention and care this can result in long term dryness and irritation. Regular hydrating facials not only provide immediate results but also contribute to long-term skin health by reducing dryness and dehydration and promoting youthful nourished healthy looking skin.  Consistent hydration improves the skin’s resilience, reduces irritation, and supports a healthy moisture barrier.


Hydrating Facials for All Skin Types


Suitable for Sensitive Skin

Hydrating facials are soothing and gentle and can be tailored for even the most sensitive skin. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid, soothing botanicals and copper peptides hydrate, calm and rescue inflamed skin without causing irritation or redness. This makes them the ideal choice for even the most delicate skin types.


Balances Oily and Combination Skin

Despite popular belief, hydrating facials are beneficial for oily and combination skin. By delivering moisture into the skin without clogging pores, these facials help the skin naturally balance oil production, reduce acne breakouts and excess shine by maintaining proper hydration in the skin.


Enhancing Product Absorption and Skincare Routine


Improved Product Absorption

After a hydrating facial, the skin is primed to absorb skincare products more effectively enhancing the results of skincare products. With the removal of dead skin cells and improved hydration, moisturisers, serums, and treatments penetrate to a deeper level of absorption, providing better and more noticable results, maximising the results of your skincare routine.
