Using a selection of award-winning cosmeceutical products, it deeply nourishes and protects the skin from environmental aggressors and excessive sun exposure. This facial not only revitalises the skin but also fortifies it against the daily challenges it faces, ensuring a healthier, more resilient complexion.

Winner: Intense Glow, $380 for 120 Minutes, EstheClinic
The Intense Glow Programme at EstheClinic is a two-step process for significant skin brightening. Step one utilises MacPeel IPL technology to lighten dark spots and tighten pores, effectively reducing melanin overproduction in a pain-free manner. Step two employs LED light therapy, combining red and yellow light to stimulate skin repair and collagen production. This step not only aids in healing but also provides an anti-ageing effect, firming up the skin. The result is a visibly brighter, smoother, and rejuvenated complexion after just one session.
