“Skinwork facials are a step up from what you usually find on the high street, as science-led treatments and products are used in every facial they offer. My new favourite treatment is the Skin Fix Facial, which lasts 50 minutes and includes a deep cleanse with extraction, a high-tech heated mask, a mini massage, microdermabrasion, and a lactic and mandelic acid-perfecting peel. Not sure what all of that is? It doesn’t matter, as all the expert therapists are highly trained and will tailor whatever facial you choose to suit you. I always leave feeling like my skin has had a real clean out, and the glow lasts way more than a few days.”

Things like forgetting to drink enough water or constant breastfeeding mean that new mums are more prone to dehydrated skin than anyone. So a facial that concentrates on hydration is just what you need. Hydrafacial is our favourite way to regain a glow and is a high-tech treatment that you can find pretty much everywhere. It’s even available in Jersey!” says TMC Co-Founder Lauren Webber, who gets her fix at Elizabeth Butler Aesthetics. The high-tech machine has a wand that can exfoliate, extract impurities, and deliver potent serums to the skin. Like a top-tier car wash, your skin looks clean, polished and a darn sight less tired.

“I instantly felt lifted from my FACEGYM treatment, but the biggest takeaway is that you need to consistently do it to see results. I’m not interested in getting Botox or enhancements, and I found this is a great way to get similar results in a natural, non-invasive way. I had my first treatment last year in my 2nd trimester (just the hand sculpt – you cannot use the EMS technology when pregnant) and have since gone back to have many more treatments. They also gave me tips and exercises that I could do myself at home to help with maintenance between treatments.”

“I went to this one a few months after having my son, and it was absolute heaven. Each facial is tailored towards your individual skin needs. My skin was quite dehydrated, so after a deep cleanse and exfoliation, the therapist applied multiple masks and paired this with massage to help boost brightness. It made my skin look so much better. I looked fresher, and it was lovely to take a moment for myself.”

“Let someone take care of you (and your face) for a change. And book in for this dreamy holistic facial. Perfect for new mums or anyone who needs a rest. It takes you to new levels of relaxation, as they use guided meditation to help you pause external thoughts and the constant drill of your ever-growing to-do list. Your face is given a deep cleanse and exfoliation as you’re cocooned inside a warm blanket, and then they apply soothing and nourishing treatments. You also get a luxurious massage with warm ceramic Akwaterra pods that boost circulation and brightness. And while the skincare works its magic, crystals are laid on and around you, and your mind is calmed with guided breath meditation. It’s pure heaven!”
