Spa Gazer at “The Times” has a signature facial

What: Mene & Moy Glycolic Acid Peel/ Medicetics Facial

Where: Medicetics, 37 Connaught Street, London W2 (020-7402 2033; www.medicetics.com )

How much: £95 (six for £500)

Sarah Vine Life & Style Editor for “The Times” visited Medicetics earlier this month to try out some of our treatments. After a consultation with Dr Vicky Dondos she had one of our “signature Medicetics Facials”.

This combines the luxury of a normal facial with a very mild skin peel. This means that you get comfort and luxury as well as real results. The whole article follows.

This superficial chemical peel is the weakest you can have, making it popular with celebrities since it entails no embarrassing (and potentially costly) downtime. The whole process is distinctly weird, but it lasts only 3-5 minutes. After the skin is cleansed, the peel is applied. This feels a bit like being covered in itching powder, but the therapist quickly rubs it off. The peel is then rinsed away, and there is a burning sensation like a hot flush or deep embarrassment – and that’s it. The face feels baby-bottom smooth and not at all tight. There is no scabbing, but you must wear SPF30 for a few days afterwards to protect your skin. The results are excellent: lots of compliments, glowing complexion, no need to wear foundation. The whole process, including a 30-minute consultation, takes about an hour.

Aaah factor: 0/5
