The Fire

The Fire & Ice Facial begins first with the Fire: an INTENSIVE RESURFACING MASQUE that is designed to resurface your skin safely and effectively, without experiencing any residual peeling.

The “Fire” portion of the treatment is clinically formulated with:

• Sugar Cane Extract (a source of Glycolic Acid) (18%)
• Citric Acid, Apple Extract, Retinol (Vitamin A)
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
• Potent antioxidants – including Green Tea Extract

The treatment is designed for use on the face, neck and décolleté. It has a cinnamon scent and tingles a little on your face as it begins to work. This portion of the treatment lasts only 2-3 minutes.

The Ice of the Fire and Ice

Following the Fire, the Ice is applied to help hydrate your newly resurfaced skin. The REJUVENATING MASQUE is designed to cool, hydrate and soothe, and will leave your skin feeling tight, firm, and glowing.

Packed with the ingredients that naturally restore the skin’s balance (hyaluronic acid and aloe vera), the masque is a light gel that will refresh your skin following resurfacing.

The “Ice” portion is formulated with:

• Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid)
• Aloe Vera
• Green Tea Extract
• Licorice Extract
• Grape Seed Extract
• Rosemary Extract

This second masque cools the initial peel to leave the skin invigorated and glowing. The “Ice” portion stays on your face for about 5 minutes.

Finishing of the Fire and Ice Treatment

After a final cleanse, a moisturizing serum and a strong sunscreen are applied to the face. Some people experience redness for a short time after treatment. This should subside within minutes or at the longest, a couple of hours. Be sure to wear a sunscreen for several days and avoid prolonged and direct sun exposure.

 WHAT TO EXPECT DURING THE TREATMENT:  

It is common for you to feel heat and a slight tingling sensation when the fire masque first comes into contact with your skin. It’s also normal for you to feel the same when the fire masque is being taken off your skin.

The slight burning sensation will be neutralized, and your skin will be soothed when the rejuvenating ice masque is applied on your face.

Once the treatment has been completed, several other complementary serums are applied to hydrate, protect, and soothe your skin further.

The two-step Fire and Ice process takes around 30 minutes to complete.

However, your skin may seem flushed after treatment, but that should wear off within four to six hours.
