What's Included

A quick, efficient facial add-on that delivers a deeper cleanse.

  • Brief skin check and cleanse.
  • Warm towel to help open pores.
  • Even application of an activated charcoal black mask.
  • Set time for the mask to bind with surface debris and excess oil.
  • Gentle peel removal to lift impurities and fine vellus hairs.
  • Soothing toner and light moisturiser to finish.
  • Aftercare guidance tailored to your skin.

Who It's For

For men who want a clearer, matte finish without fuss. Ideal if you notice blackheads, shine across the T-zone, or want a tidy-up before a meeting, night out, or event.

Suitable for most skin types, especially combination and oily. If your skin is very sensitive or broken, application can be adjusted or a gentler option recommended.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Allow 15 minutes. The mask works well as a stand-alone refresh or paired with a haircut or beard service for a clean, polished finish.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Keep skin hands-off after your appointment. Avoid hot showers, steam rooms and heavy workouts for 12 hours.

Moisturise and use SPF during the day. Skip strong exfoliants or retinoids for 24 hours.

Repeat every 2 to 4 weeks for maintenance, or book as needed before events for a quick reset.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the charcoal mask actually do?
Activated charcoal binds to surface oil and debris, helping to lift impurities as the mask is peeled away. Skin looks smoother and pores appear more refined.
Will it hurt or pull facial hair?
You may feel a firm lift as the mask is removed. We avoid beards and brows, and can adjust application for comfort. Fine vellus hairs may come away with the mask.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
It suits most skin types. If your skin is very sensitive or has broken areas, we will reduce contact time or suggest a gentler cleanse.
How often should I book this treatment?
Every 2 to 4 weeks works well for upkeep. You can also book it before an event for a quick reset and smoother-looking skin.
Can I add it to a haircut or beard service?
Yes. It fits neatly alongside other grooming and can be booked as an add-on or as a stand-alone appointment.
