Facials in Ruaka

Which facial is which

• Classic Facial: 45 min, KES 2,500. Cleanse, exfoliate, steam, extract and mask. Everything a facial should be, in the time most people can spare.
• P & G Signature Facial: 60 min, KES 3,500. Our own protocol. The Classic plus a proper facial massage and a longer, unhurried extraction stage.
• Advanced Skin Treatment Facial: 60 to 75 min, KES 5,000. Adds high frequency and targeted serums. This is the one for congestion, breakouts or pigmentation.
• HydraFacial: 60 to 75 min, KES 6,000. Cleanses, exfoliates, extracts and hydrates in one pass using a vacuum tip. No downtime, and skin looks different walking out.

Not sure? Book the Classic. It tells you how your skin behaves with us, and you can move up next time.

What happens in a Signature Facial

1. Double cleanse to remove makeup, sunscreen and the day.
2. Skin analysis. Your therapist looks at what your skin is doing today, not what it did last time.
3. Exfoliation to lift dead cells and let everything after it work.
4. Steam to soften and open the pores.
5. Extractions. Blackheads and congestion cleared carefully. This is the part that takes patience.
6. Facial massage. Lymphatic and pressure work, which is also the part everyone falls asleep during.
7. Mask matched to your skin: hydrating, clarifying or calming.
8. Finish with serum, moisturiser and SPF advice.

When to book the Advanced Skin Treatment Facial

Choose the 75 minute Advanced Skin Treatment Facial if any of these describe you:

• You break out regularly and want the high frequency step, which helps calm the bacteria involved in congestion.
• You have post acne marks or uneven tone and want targeted serums rather than a general mask.
• Your skin is congested enough that extractions alone need more time.
• You want the deepest version of the treatment and do not mind the extra half hour.

Either facial is a good idea every four to six weeks. That is the same rhythm as skin cell turnover, which is why it is the interval that shows results.

Facials and waxing on the same day

We do not recommend a face wax and a facial in the same appointment, because both work on the same skin and it is too much at once. Space them by a few days.

Body waxing and a facial on the same visit is completely fine, and a common booking. And if you want the full treatment, the scrub, massage and facial package at KES 7,500 covers everything in one hour fifty minutes.
