I took a trip into Neelu's Beauty Salon in Arnotts department store in Dublin last week where I had the pleasure of experiencing one oh the bespoke facials offered at the salon.

With over 30 years experience in the beauty industry, Neelu is well known for her passion and outstanding knowledge of the skin. Passionate, caring and loyal to her clients is one way of describing  the lovely Neelu.

I soon came to understand why clients come from all over the country just to have their facials done by Neelu herself. She really takes the time to talk with you, find out a little about your lifestyle. Then she can start to puzzle together a map of your skin.

 Neelu started with the 4-in-1 deep exfoliation and then followed with the intraceutical oxygen rejuvenating facial.
4-in-1 deep exfoliating facial

This facial falls in with Neelu's strong passion for non-intervention skincare.

She cleanses the face to remove any debris and then takes a look at my skin under a lamp to perform a full analysis.

This is a professional grade exfoliation using non-grain enzymes to to help rid your face of tired, dull surface skin cells.

The result is skin that reveals a fresh, refined texture. I could see how one side felt and looked visibly brighter and smoother. With regular treatments and consistent skincare routine at home a reduction in fine lines and skin discolouration is visible.

With a full skin analysis done, Neelu can really concentrate on your main areas of the face that you would like to treat first giving this treatment a unique tailoring to meet your needs. €175

Intraceutical oxygen rejuvenating facial
The power of this facial is amazing, my skin was glowing so much that even my other half commented on how well I was looking!

This rejuvenating skincare facial uses the power of oxygen to push the active ingredients into the skin leaving the skin visible appearance brighter, smother and all round healthier looking.

After applying the serum containing Hyaluronic Acid to the face, a pressurised oxygen machine is used to help push a little bubble of oxygen into the skin. This holds onto the serum pushing it right through to the dermis of the skin and activating the serum.

Hyaluronic Acid naturally occurs in our skin and aids in tissue repair. Adding oxygen to a facial will increase the metabolism of our skin cells, which will encourage the grow of collagen and elastin in the skin.

This incredible facial will leave your skin feeling refreshed and looking brighter and smoother. I can only imagine the difference after a number of treatments. €225

After I had my baby, I often have sleepless nights and don't eat as good a diet as I should. In the consultation with Neelu, she spoke to me about the importance of our diet and how it affects our skin. Although I knew all of this already I needed to hear it from someone else.

Her passion for what she does is really a breath of fresh air. I personally could not recommend Neelu's treatments highly enough.
