The Slow Beauty movement describes a fast growing sub-culture of beauty therapists who have lost faith in the ‘quick-fix’. Often invasive products and procedures that abound in the beauty industry are drawn to a holistic approach to skincare with a focus on dermo-nutrition, wellness and genuine skin health from the inside out.
The Slow Beauty movement is following a similar trajectory to the Slow Food movement and reflects a similar shift in values away from short-term convenience towards slower, deeper and truer ideals.
The tides of change are well underway and there is now a new generation of beauty therapists leading the way in holistic, ‘slow’ beauty.
Le Papillon Slow Beauty Facials provide an intensive boost for your skin using the botanical Janesce skincare range. Using powerful, organic plant extracts, their products provide facials that are anti-ageing, hydrating and nourishing for the skin.
Therapeutic skin massage, warm compresses and fragrant botanical oils make these sensory facials a beautiful treat for the soul as well as the skin.
What Can I Expect?
When you come for a Facial treatment at Le Papillon Skin & Day Spa you will be welcomed at the reception and if it is your first time attending, there will be questions asked about yourself regarding any details we may need from you. After, you will be brought into the treatment room.
During the treatment you will get to relax in the reclined bed provided with a soothing playlist. I will then ask a series of questions concerning your skin care regime and other treatments you may have had prior to this appointment.
During the massage and mask, I will avoid talking to you so you can enjoy the sensory journey you will be taken for ultimate relaxation.

Skin Benefits of the Skin Soaking Ritual
Skin Soaking really is foundational to a beautiful skincare regime. Soaking your skin twice daily for 30 days, where this optimum hydration in the skin can result in the following benefits:
- Dehydrated cells will pump up by 25%, softening wrinkles and fine lines.
- Pores will become less visible and the skin texture more refined.
- Oil/Sebum will flow more freely onto the surface of the skin, meaning you are less likely to get break-outs and black-heads.
- Skin will cope better with temperature changes and be more likely to remain calm rather than flushed.
- Skincare products will penetrate more easily and you won’t need to use as much.
- Enzyme action in the skin will improve, leading to healthier, stronger more vibrant skin.
- You will begin to notice the trademark Janesce glow!
*This also depends on removing congesting foods from your diet if your skin is prone to congestion.
