Facials are one of the most effective ways to nourish, repair and revitalise your skin, but with so many options available, how do you know which one is right for you? At Escape Skin and Body in Hobart, we take a personalised approach to every facial. Whether you’re managing dryness, breakouts, dullness or early signs of ageing, there’s a treatment that can support your skin gently and effectively.
Let’s explore six of the most popular types of facials we offer, along with the unique benefits each one brings.
1. Hydrating Facials – Replenish, Soothe, and Restore
If your skin feels tight, flaky or thirsty, a hydrating facial is the perfect reset. These facial treatments are designed to deeply infuse moisture into the skin while strengthening your barrier and calming inflammation.
- Why it works: Hydrating facials use humectants like hyaluronic acid and nourishing masks to restore balance, improve elasticity and leave your skin feeling soft, dewy and plump.
- Ideal for: Dry, dehydrated, sensitive or post-travel skin.
2. Anti-Ageing Facials – Smooth, Firm, and Rejuvenate
Anti-ageing facials focus on collagen support, skin tone, and firmness. They often include techniques like radiofrequency, LED light therapy, or peptide-rich serums to combat fine lines, dullness and loss of elasticity.
- Why it works: These facials help stimulate the skin’s natural renewal processes, soften the appearance of wrinkles, and restore that youthful glow.
- Ideal for: Ageing, mature or sun-damaged skin.
3. Brightening Facials – Illuminate and Even Skin Tone
Brightening facials are designed to help reduce the appearance of pigmentation, sun spots and uneven tone. These treatments often include gentle exfoliation and vitamin C-based products to reveal clearer, more radiant skin.
- Why it works: By removing surface dullness and supporting skin renewal, brightening facials help improve clarity, texture and tone over time.
- Ideal for: Pigmentation, sun damage, and dull or uneven skin.
4. Acne & Problematic Skin Facials – Clear, Calm, and Balance
Acne-prone skin needs a thoughtful approach, one that reduces congestion without stripping or irritating the skin. Our facials for problematic skin include deep cleansing, calming masks, LED therapy, and extractions if needed.
- Why it works: These treatments reduce inflammation, support skin healing, and minimise future breakouts, without compromising the skin’s protective barrier.
- Ideal for: Teen or adult acne, blackheads, congestion, or inflamed skin.
5. Calming and Restorative Facials – Relax, Unwind, and Glow
Stress doesn’t just affect how we feel, it shows up in our skin too. Our calming facials are designed to support both emotional wellbeing and skin health through gentle, soothing treatments. These include soft massage techniques, calming botanical ingredients, and light therapy when appropriate.
- Why it works: By reducing inflammation and boosting circulation, these facials bring down redness, restore skin comfort, and leave you feeling both grounded and radiant.
- Ideal for: Stressed, reactive, hormonal or sensitive skin—or simply anyone needing a moment of stillness.
6. Teen Facials – Support Young, Changing Skin
Teen skin is often reactive, hormonal, and vulnerable to breakouts or redness. Our gentle teen facials provide education, cleansing, and targeted support, helping younger clients build healthy skin habits early on.
- Why it works: A combination of deep cleansing, calming, and gentle exfoliation helps soothe inflammation while keeping skin balanced and clear.
- Ideal for: Tweens and teens experiencing breakouts, oiliness, or sensitivity.
