I think I’m becoming addicted to spa facials. I used to never see the point in investing in having someone else put masks on my face, when I could easily do that at home, but it’s experiences like my one at the Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa in Peterborough that have completely changed my view on pampering yourself this way. I was treated to a Bio-Lift Collagen Facial which is such an indulgent experience. I left, not only with plump and glowing skin, but also feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated.
Hand & Stone Massage & Facial Spa in Peterborough is hidden away in a little strip mall on Lansdowne Street. It’s very unassuming at first glance but when you enter the spa you are transported to a tranquil environment of serene scents and sounds. The waiting area is lovely and they have an impressive selection of products available for purchase including lines like Dermalogica (one of my faves!) and Yonka Paris.
Before your service begins your spa therapist will go over a thorough history of your skin and your current skincare routine. Jessica was an absolute pleasure. She was incredibly knowledgable, a joy to talk with, and very skilled at what she does.
This facial experience includes a cleansing process followed by an Active Peel which gently exfoliates to stimulate cellular renewal resulting in diminished fine lines, acne scarring, and sun damage. After your peel you are treated to a collagen mask which is so cool! I apologize for the creepy pic below but I wanted you to see what I was talking about. This sheet mask transforms on activation to a jelly/skin like texture that totally molds to your face. It starts as a full solid mask and the therapist cuts out a hole for your nose to breathe. Your eyes and lips are covered. The photo below was taken after the mask was already removed and then we decided to put the mask back on for a picture because I was so fascinated my it. The nose hole got pretty stretched on removal therefore it looks a bit of a mess.
Now during the various stages of the facial, while products like the peel and mask are sitting on your skin for an extended period of time, you are treated to three different massages. You can choose from any combination of scalp, hand and arm, and foot massages. I opted for two scalp massages and a hand and arm massage. Amazing! I felt so pampered.
If you’re looking for a pampering massage or facial offered conveniently and at very affordable price point I highly recommend Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa!
