Cleansing Facial in Dubai The classic deep clean, in about 60 minutes

What is a Cleansing Facial in Dubai?

A Cleansing Facial is a 60-minute deep clean for skin that feels clogged, oily or dull, and at our facial salon in Dubai it costs AED 190. It is our classic facial: cleanse, steam, gentle extraction, massage, mask, serum and moisturiser. Each step is there to leave your pores clearer and your skin feeling fresh.

It is also our most straightforward facial, which makes it a good first booking if you have never had one. You lie back, the facialist explains each step as she goes, and you can ask her to go gentler at any point.

Step by step: your deep cleansing facial

The session follows a set order, adapted to how your skin looks on the day. Here is what happens from the moment you lie down.

Extraction is the step people ask about most. It feels like light pressure with a brief sting, and the facialist only works on blackheads that are ready to come out. If you want to know more first, read our guide to blackheads and extractions.

• A short skin check and a chat about breakouts, your products and how your skin behaves in the AC.
• A thorough cleanse to lift sunscreen, make-up and the day's dust.
• Exfoliation to clear dull surface cells so the next steps work better.
• Warm steam for a few minutes to soften the skin and open the pores.
• Gentle extraction of blackheads where needed, mostly on the nose, chin and forehead.
• A calming facial massage after the extraction.
• A mask chosen for your skin, such as a purifying or a hydrating mask.
• Serum and moisturiser to finish, with sunscreen if you are heading back into daylight.

Who it suits, and who should pick a different facial

The Cleansing Facial suits oily, combination and congested skin, and skin that lacks moisture but still breaks out. In Dubai that covers a lot of us: humidity makes skin oilier through the summer, while long hours in air conditioning leave it tight and thirsty. If shine and blocked pores are your main issue, our page on facials for oily skin compares your options.

If your skin is reactive, flushes easily or does not like extraction, the Organic / Herbal Facial at AED 210 is a softer choice. If you have active, inflamed acne, tell the facialist when you book. She will adapt the session or suggest you see a doctor first, and our acne-prone skin guide explains what a facial can and cannot do.

Please also mention it if you use skincare from your doctor, take medication such as isotretinoin, are pregnant, have rosacea or eczema, or have had a peel, laser or injectables recently. A facial is cosmetic care and does not replace medical advice.

Results you can expect

Right after a Cleansing Facial your skin usually feels cleaner, smoother and lighter, and pores on the nose and chin look clearer. You may see a little redness where extraction took place; it normally settles within a few hours.

Over the next few days make-up tends to sit better and the skin looks less congested. This is cosmetic care, so it will not stop breakouts for good, and blackheads form again with time, sweat and sunscreen. Regular sessions plus good daily cleansing keep your skin looking calmer.

Cleansing Facial or Diamond Facial?

Choose the Cleansing Facial at AED 190 when your priority is clearing pores. Choose the Diamond Facial at AED 230 when your skin is fairly clear but looks rough or dull and you want a polished, brighter-looking finish.

The Cleansing Facial spends more of its time on steam and extraction. The Diamond Facial puts the focus on a polishing exfoliation with diamond-dust products. Plenty of people alternate between the two: a deep clean when skin feels clogged, a polish before a dinner or an event.

Before and after your facial in the UAE heat

Come with clean skin if you can, or with your usual make-up; the facialist will cleanse it off. Skip scrubs, retinol and facial threading for a day or two before, so your skin is not already sensitive when you arrive.

Afterwards, give your skin a quiet 24 hours. Avoid the gym, sauna, steam room, pool and beach that day, and keep make-up light or skip it until the next morning. Pores are more open after steam and extraction, so keep sweat and heavy foundation away for a while.

Sunscreen matters more than usual. Even the walk from the car park in July means strong sun, so apply SPF 30 or higher before you leave and reapply if you are out in the afternoon. In a cold, AC-heavy office, a light moisturiser stops your skin from feeling tight.

How often to book

For oily or congested skin in Dubai, a Cleansing Facial every four to six weeks works well for most people. That gives blackheads time to form but not to build up badly between visits.

In the humid months from June to September you may want to come a little more often. Before a big event, book it about a week ahead rather than the day before, so any redness from extraction has fully settled.
