Getting That At-Home Facial Experience
Image AI generated
There’s nothing quite like a professional facial - time set aside just for you, where your skin is cared for and your mind has a chance to switch off. But in between appointments, you can recreate a similar ritual at home. Think of it as self-care as much as skincare: dim the lights, put on relaxing music, light a candle, and set aside anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour just for you. This isn’t about rushing through your basic routine, it’s about creating a calming ritual that nourishes both your skin and your wellbeing. Beyond the essentials of cleansing and moisturising, an at-home facial is your opportunity to go deeper. With the right products and mindful techniques, it can become an extension of your in-studio treatments at Naomi Spurr Studio in Brighton & Hove.
Dermaviduals Enzyme Treatment
Instead of harsh scrubs, which can damage the skin barrier, I recommend Dermaviduals Enzyme Treatment - a gentle, corneotherapeutic way to encourage desquamation, the skin’s natural shedding process. Our skin naturally desquamates, but sometimes it can become a little sluggish. Enzymes work with your skin’s natural rhythm, not against it. By encouraging this natural renewal, the skin can rejuvenate more effectively.
It uses lipase and protease enzymes to break down unwanted cells that have reached the end of their life, without irritation. This leaves the skin smoother and brighter, while maintaining barrier integrity. Building Dermaviduals Enzyme Skin Renewal into your weekly routine can support clearer, more radiant skin—especially helpful for congestion, dullness, or ageing—while respecting the skin’s barrier.
Dermviduals Bespoke Serums with Active Ingredients
If cleansing and moisturising are the bread of your sandwich, then serum is the filling - it’s where the real nutrients come in. Serums carry active ingredients directly to where they’re needed and can be adapted to suit your skin’s ever-changing needs.
This step is where tailored support makes the biggest visible difference, especially when addressing skin goals or concerns like breakouts, stressed skin, barrier repair, pigmentation, hormonal changes, or dryness.
I love Dermaviduals Bespoke and Prescriptive Serums—with over 30 actives, I can create a custom blend designed specifically for your skin, with no generic formulas or filler ingredients. Some of my favourite actives include: Vitamins A, B, and E, Evening Primrose Oil, Boswellia, EGCG, CM Glucan, Isoflavones & Coenzyme Q10.
This way, your skin gets exactly what it needs—nothing more, nothing less.
Dermaviduals Masks
Masks are where you can really sink into the ritual. Apply one while soaking in the bath, and let the nutrients melt into your skin while you relax.
Dermaviduals Individual Mask – a kaolin clay base that hydrates, soothes, reduces redness, and remineralises the skin while providing antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits. These masks can be further customised with active concentrates to target dryness, breakouts, or redness.
Dermaviduals Fleece Mask – made from biodegradable cellulose, these pre-formed sheet masks are infused with DMS (Derma Membrane Structure) lipids that mimic the skin’s barrier. Containing ceramides and hyaluronic acid, they deliver an instant cooling, refreshing, and hydrating effect. They’re especially nourishing for stressed, irritated, or dry skin, and create a treatment-room feel at home.
Both mask options offer a restorative moment for the skin and mind—helping you pause, breathe, and reset.
At-Home LED Light Therapy
LED light therapy is one of my favourite ways to bring professional benefits into your home. Red light penetrates deeper layers to stimulate collagen, reduce inflammation, and accelerate repair, while blue light helps target acne-causing bacteria.
The Current Body LED Light Mask (*affiliate link) is perfect for anyone serious about levelling up their home care. So easy to build into your daily routine and wear while doing tasks around the home or it can also be made part of your self-care ritual: pop on your LED mask while reading, meditating, or listening to a mindfulness/breath work track.
Self-Facial Massage
Massage is more than a “nice extra” - it’s one of the most powerful tools you can use at home. Finish your self-care ritual with facial massage after applying your serum and moisturiser. Gentle upward strokes encourage lymphatic drainage, reduce puffiness, and stimulate circulation, giving your skin a natural glow. Think of it not just as a skincare step, but as a mindfulness practice that helps you slow down.
Your at-home facial doesn’t need to be complicated, you can do all or just a few of these additions. What matters is the intention behind it. With the right products, a calm environment, and a little time carved out just for you, you’re not only caring for your skin - you’re creating a ritual that supports your overall wellbeing.
Here, your home care becomes an extension of your professional treatments. Because glowing, resilient skin comes from progress, patience, and a little ritual.
