Elle Online - Herbapeel Light Facial

May 2010

Facialist to the stars Claudia Fallah developed herbapeel without using any chemicals or synthetic agents. Instead the peeling treatment is made up entirely of herbs that work to remove the skin’s upper layer, stimulate blood circulation and induce the generation of new cells and collagen fibres for an all over skin resurfacing and renewing treatment. While the overall effect of herbapeel can be compared to chemical peels, Claudia claims that it is much kinder to the skin. Unlike with chemical peels - which can keep you hidden indoors for up to a week recovering – you can face the world blemish-free after the facial.

I tested the treatment and was extremely impressed with the results. Claudia used herbapeel light on me, a milder version of the original herbapeel formula, and a range of her own products all made using natural ingredients. The facial had a tremendous effect on my skin, making it softer and smoother, while also brightening my complexion.

The treatment room was very relaxing, with soft music and a large skylight, allowing me to either drift off or happily relax while watching the clouds drift by. After carrying out some extractions (which are annoying, but essential to avoid bringing out impurities under the surface of the skin), Claudia deep-cleansed, toned and moisturised my skin before applying the peel. It tingled slightly, but was in no way painful (and I am not brave!).  Once the peel was removed Claudia applied several creams which calmed any redness that might have occurred as a result of the treatment. Post facial, I had fresh, glowing skin and could go straight back to work without any embarrassment. Results last a week.
