Are Aveda facials worth the price?

I've never had one before but my peri menopausal skin is all over the shop. There's a salon in Hampstead very expensive but I drool everything I go past. Any opinions before I waste my money?

I've never had a facial (anywhere- get out the world's tiniest violin) but I used to use Aveda skincare a few years back.
It was in a dark green glass bottle with a pump or a spray.
(Cleanser/cleansing foaming gel/toner/liquid exfoliator and moisturiser)

I don't know if they still do the range though, can't see it online.

How much is the facial though?
Do they give you any samples or money off vouchers?

Or would you be better investing in the products for at home?

Imo, facials are nice, and a treat, and give your skin some extra glow for a day, or two, but that is it.

I would do it, if you ahd the money, and enjoy it. Aveda is nice stuff.

But, IMO, there are just the handful of beauty products that really work.

What are your skin probs?

I find REN glycolactic face mask to be great, for that just-had-a-facial glow, I use it twice a week. It is one of those rare beauty products that actually work.

A good moisturiser that does not clogg pores.

Green or normal tea bags reduce under eye puffiness. ( don' t know if you have that!)

Spots can be kept in check by holding an ice cube against it for about 10-20 secs, then repeat a few times. It helps reduce inflamation. Do not use on rosacea ( skn with lts of little veins) as too harsh a treatment.

Eating well, sleeping well, getting fresh air all have an effect on your skin.
