Caroline chooses it at your skin analysis, and you can tell her what matters most to you. Age-Defier is for fine lines and firmness, Purifier for oily or combination skin, Brightener for dull or tired-looking skin, and Hydrator for dry or dehydrated skin. The Purifier includes extractions.
Can the facial include the neck and chest?

Which Irene Forte products are used?
Every product comes from the Irene Forte range and depends on your focus. Caroline will tell you which ones she used, and all of them are sold at the spa and online.
How is this different from the Luxury Signature Facial?
The Luxury Signature Facial treats the face, neck and chest with the Eminence, iS Clinical and PCA ranges.

Is anything included to take home?
No, the price covers the facial itself. Caroline will recommend the products and routine to continue at home, and every Irene Forte product is sold at the spa and in the Irene Forte collection online.
