What is it?

It's a facial and eye treatment, but everything at AsterSpring Origin of Beauty is tailor-made - so you don't actually specify a treatment when you book. First, you have a consultation with a therapist.

The therapist asked me to fill out a detailed questionnaire. She then discussed my responses, and suggested a gentle facial treatment to restore hydration and another for around my eyes to keep fine lines at bay. She recommended the Thermophersis Firming Facial and the Bright Eye Treatment, using Dermalogica products, which she said would be good for my sensitive skin.

I was shown to the changing rooms, where a different therapist gave me a deep cleanse and extraction. It was so painless and she used so little pressure that I wondered if she was actually getting anything out. She followed this with a vigorous massage of my face, particularly around my eyes, which was to aid lymphatic drainage.
