Your festive facial plan for radiant, party-ready skin


by Lizzie Gore-Grimes
01st Dec 2025

As the festive season approaches, we are all after the same thing: treatments that enhance glow, boost hydration, and refine texture as we get set for a busy few weeks of events and celebrations. So, we asked lead advanced skin therapist Jade Guidon, of Fitzgerald Private Clinic Dublin and Donegal (IMAGE Business of Beauty Silver award for Best Facialist) for three of her favourite options to help you achieve your best skin for the season ahead.

1. HydraTight: Deep Cleanse, Firm & Glow 

HydraTight is one of our most in-demand facials for a reason: it combines two powerhouse technologies into a single treatment. First, non-invasive radiofrequency gently heats the skin to stimulate collagen, providing an immediate to longer-term firming effect. This is followed by HydraFacial’s protocol, which combines deep exfoliation, chemical peel, extraction and antioxidant infusion. 

The result? Skin that looks smoother, clearer and fresher – ideal for anyone who wants to look bright and polished before a night out. With little downtime and instant radiance, HydraTight is the perfect “big event” facial.

€360 for 90 mins.

2. Obagi Blue Peel Radiance: Decongest & Glow 

For those who feel their skin needs a reset, the Obagi Blue Peel Radiance delivers a deep clean paired with a luminous finish. This superficial triple acid peel with 20% salicylic, 2% glycolic and 2% lactic acid helps to unclog pores, refine texture, smooth fine lines, and brighten dull, fatigued skin. It is particularly suitable for anyone dealing with congestion, uneven tone, or larger pores that feel more noticeable under winter makeup. The result? Glow appears immediately and continues to improve, making it the ideal treatment to book in the lead-up to the festive season when you want refined, radiant skin without peeling or downtime.

€145

3. Microbiome Barrier Boost Facial: Hydrate & Soothe

If your skin is sensitive, inflamed, or simply craving hydration during the colder months, our Microbiome Barrier Boost Facial is a universal favourite. This treatment focuses on strengthening the skin’s microbiome, supporting barrier function, and infusing deep hydration. It is anti-inflammatory, soothing, and designed to calm reactive or compromised skin – making it suitable for absolutely everyone, including those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

The result? Think of it as a restorative, comfort-first facial that leaves the skin plump, dewy, and balanced. It’s the perfect option for maintaining skin health during the busy, often stressful festive period.

€140
