You look at a salon menu and it can feel like a different language. Dermaplaning. Fire and Ice. Foaming Enzyme. Each one sounds appealing — but how do you know which one your skin actually needs?
At The Beauty Box Pangbourne we hear this every week. Clients come in with “I just want better skin” and aren’t sure where to begin. Here’s a straightforward guide to the eight facials we offer, so you can match the treatment to your skin and your moment.
Standard Dermaplaning
For smooth, glass-like skin. A gentle manual exfoliation that lifts away dead skin cells and peach fuzz, revealing brighter, softer skin underneath and the perfect canvas for makeup.
Best for: normal, dry or combination skin wanting an instant glow and that smooth, polished finish.
Skin Peel
For a full skin reset. A professional-grade exfoliating peel that removes dead cells, accelerates renewal and leaves the skin looking fresh and visibly clearer.
Best for: ageing skin, breakout-prone skin, or anyone ready for a noticeable change rather than maintenance.
Extraction Facial
For stubborn congestion. A deep cleansing facial focused on extractions — removing the blackheads, whiteheads and built-up congestion that don’t shift with daily skincare alone.
Best for: oily, acne-prone or congested skin that needs a proper detox.
Cancer Care Harmony Facial
For very sensitive or compromised skin. A soothing, gentle treatment designed to restore comfort, hydration and calm to skin that’s been through difficult treatments.
Best for: clients undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment, or anyone with reactive or delicate skin who needs gentle care.
“The right facial isn’t the most advanced one on the menu — it’s the one your skin is ready for today.”
Fire and Ice Resurfacing Treatment
For instant glow. A clinically active treatment that resurfaces, smooths and plumps in under an hour. Known as the “red carpet facial” for good reason — visible results, no downtime.
Best for: fine lines, uneven texture, dullness, or pre-event preparation when you need to look your best within days.
Luxury Fire and Ice
For glow plus relaxation. Everything in the Fire and Ice facial, with an added 20-minute back massage to release tension and improve circulation.
Best for: when you want to leave feeling like a different person inside and out — results and rest in one appointment.
Foaming Enzyme Facial
For gentle but effective exfoliation. An effervescent treatment with active foaming agents that clear the skin gently but visibly — glowing for days afterwards.
Best for: all skin types, especially those wanting an effective treatment without anything aggressive.
Luxury Foaming Enzyme
For glow plus full-body calm. The Foaming Enzyme facial paired with a soothing 20-minute back massage. Gentle exfoliation, deep relaxation.
Best for: anyone wanting both visible skin improvement and an hour of switched-off time in one booking.
