The Eve Lom Ultimate Cleanse Facial at Liberty, London
I've always been a fan of Eve Lom products, particularly the Moisture Mask so I couldn't pass up on the chance of experiencing the one of a kind 'Ultimate Cleanse Facial' at Liberty. Underneath the crisp white sheets of the Queen Mary treatment room, I relaxed ready to indulge in the hour of bliss that was to come.
To begin with, my skin was deeply cleansed using the award winning Eve Lom Cleanser (described by Vogue as "the best cleanser in the world"). A unique massage technique was used to promote lymphatic drainage and to relieve tension within each skin layer (being a sufferer of sinisitus, this proved to be amazing).
A heated muslin cloth was draped over my face to remove all traces of makeup and dirt that was imbedded in my pores. My skin felt instantly refreshed and that was only the beginning. The therapist then used a soft brush to apply layers of Eve Lom's iconic paraffin wax. At this stage I was very relaxed and ready to drift off as the silky brush was hypnotically swept across the contours of my face.
Once the wax had set, the therapist delicately removed sections to expose my open pores and begin extraction. I have very dry skin so the appearance of spots is very unusual however the therapist spent quite some time extracting from my chin and nose so I obviously had more black heads than I thought!
The facial ended with the application of soothing herbal compressions followed by an acupressure massage to my neck and décolleté, leaving me relaxed and tension-free. My skin was visibly different afterwards, silky soft to the touch, radiant and invigorated.
The £85 booking fee for this 60 minute facial may seem extravagant but it's fully redeemable against £115 of Eve Lom products purchased. On the day you get brilliant advice from the therapist who advises you on what products are best suited to your skin (I chose the Cleanser (200ml, £85) and Rescue Mask (50ml, £35).
Another multi-award winning Eve Lom product is the Rescue Mask. What I love about this Mask, is that it solves a multitude of skin problems, whether it be blotchiness, puffiness, breakouts or blackheads, this product can always be relied on to fix the problem. The word 'rescue' really rings true. This is due to the specialist ingredients that it contains: Camphor (decongests and cools the skin), Honey (conditions), Ground almonds (exfoliates and smooths the surface of skin) and Kaolin Clay which absorbs excess oil and reduces puffiness.
I would recommend using this whenever your skin needs a good pick-me-up, particularly if you want your skin to radiate or glow in an upcoming event or special occasion.

For those of you with normal/dry skin it's recommended to use the cleanser once a day in the evening. However, if you have particularly congested or oily skin, use the cleanser twice a day for better results. I was quite impressed to see that the leaflet contains a step by step guide to help with the application, including the special massage technique that promotes energy flow. As you can see from the image below, the cleanser comes with two muslin cloths (100% cotton) , which gently exfoliate the face whilst allowing the aromatic oils to work their way into the skin. You can even notice the difference after the first use!
