Get ready to level up your skincare routine with an at-home spa-like facial. Being able to do this in the comfort of your home and creating a luxurious experience has never been easier. We've got the tips and trick for you with the right products.
Step One - Set the Tone
Think about how you want to elevate your space to mimic a spa's. It comes down to the scent, lighting and sound. We suggest lighting your favourite candle, downloading a relaxing playlist or calming ocean sounds. If you want to take it one step further, draw yourself a bath with some epsom salts and put your housecoat in a warmer if you have one.
Step Two - Clean Your Skin
Now that you're in a state of complete relaxation, it's time to rid your skin of the impurities that have been building up. To cleanse your skin, we suggest using the IS Clinical Cleansing Complex.
This cleanser is clear, lightweight and powerful, yet gentle enough for sensitive skin. Cleansing Complex incorporates a balance of bionutrients, antioxidants, and mild resurfacing ingredients that thoroughly cleanse the surface and pores of the skin without stripping essential natural oils, leaving your skin oh-so soft and smooth.
Step Three - Exfoliate
This step will remove dead skin cells from the outer layer of your skin. In the process, you will unclog your pores and help other skincare products penetrate deeper. Our go-to exfoliator is Dermalogica's Daily Microfoliant.
This exfoliator will help you achieve brighter, smoother skin every day with its iconic exfoliating powder. A rice-based powder that activates upon contact with water, releasing Papain, Salicylic Acid and Rice Enzymes to polish the skin to absolute perfection.
Step Four - Eye Treatment
Combat visible signs of aging and brighten up that under-eye area! Our forever obsession is IS Clinical's Youth Eye Complex.
Youth Eye Complex is a breakthrough formula that uses advanced technology to combat signs of aging. Clinically proven to target areas of concern which results in stronger and more resilient skin. Reduce the appearance of wrinkles and brighten the under-eye while protecting it all day long.
Step Five - Apply a Face Mask
Use a mask that will hydrate your skin and give it the love it needs. The Warming Honey Cleanser is incredibly luxurious and is also a fantastic masque that will provide intense hydration, and mild exfoliation, along with healing properties.
The ultimate sensory experience while effectively cleansing and gently exfoliating the skin, leaving it ultra-hydrated and moisturized while helping to refine and balance problematic skin types.
Step Six - Hydrate
Moisturize your skin and let the hydration continue to sink in. Hot tip, we love a good tinted moisturizer! We recommend Dermalogica's Smoothing Cream.
Infuse your skin for 48 hours of continuous hydrating and help protect against environmental stress. A best-selling moisturizer that will lock in moisture, formulated with Grape Seed Extract, Vitamin C and Vitamin E.

A good at-home facial is such a great way to maintain healthy skin between professional treatments. Cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating are all essential steps, but for deeper skin renewal, I love incorporating professional treatments like a chemical peel Vancouver. While at-home facials help refresh the skin, chemical peels go a step further by improving texture, reducing pigmentation, and boosting collagen production. Finding the right balance between at-home care and in-clinic treatments makes all the difference. Just like a good facial routine, a well-planned skincare approach ensures long-term radiance and skin health. It's all about consistency and the right treatments!
