Deep cleansing facial in Leyton
Our Deep Cleansing Facial is a 60-minute facial chosen for congestion and excess oil, and it’s a common choice for oily or combination skin. Like every facial at our spa on High Road Leyton, it starts with a short skin consultation, so the treatment suits your skin on the day.
Times and prices
What the facial focuses on
For congested or oily skin, thorough cleansing comes first. Your therapist works through the steps of the facial (cleansing, exfoliation, facial massage and the finishing products) and adjusts each one to your skin. Where it’s needed and suitable for your skin, that can include careful extraction to clear blocked pores.
Oily skin still needs hydration, so a deep cleansing facial finishes with a balancing moisturiser rather than skipping it. We use professional skincare products, chosen for your skin type.
Your skin consultation
Before anything starts, your therapist looks at your skin and asks about your routine and anything that bothers you. It helps to mention:
- where you tend to get shiny, congested or blackheads;
- whether some areas feel drier than others. Combination skin, oilier in the T-zone and drier on the cheeks, does best when different areas are treated differently;
- any sensitivity, allergies, prescription skincare or reactions you’ve had to treatments before.
If your skin reacts easily, tell us when you book. We may suggest a gentler facial or a patch test first.
Standard or sensitive-skin deep cleansing?
Both are 60 minutes and £70.
- Deep Cleansing Facial: for congestion and excess oil.
- Sensitive Skin Deep Cleansing Facial: a deep cleanse with a gentler approach, for skin that reacts easily.
If your skin is congested but also flushes easily or reacts to new products, choose the sensitive-skin version. If redness or reactive skin is your main concern rather than congestion, the Calming Facial is the other facial designed for sensitive skin. Our page on facials for sensitive skin compares the two.
Other facials to compare
The Anti-Acne Facial is the one to look at if breakouts are your main concern, and the Cleansing & Moisturising Facial suits regular upkeep. For persistent or painful acne, see your GP or a dermatologist: a spa facial isn’t a medical treatment.
Men’s deep cleansing facials
The Men’s Deep Cleansing Facial and the Men’s Sensitive Skin Deep Cleansing Facial follow the same steps and use the same products as the facials above, adjusted to your skin. Choose Men’s Facials when you book, then the facial you want: the booking form shows only the therapists who provide that facial, including when you choose “any therapist”. If you’ve just shaved or have any irritation, say so at your consultation so your therapist can adjust the treatment.

Before and after your facial
- Arrive with little or no make-up if you can.
- Pause strong actives such as retinol or exfoliating acids for a day or two before and after, unless your doctor has told you otherwise.
- Try to leave your skin make-up-free for a few hours afterwards, and use SPF, especially after exfoliation.

Visiting us
Artisa Spa is at 359 High Road Leyton, London E10 5NA, a short walk from Leyton Underground station (Central line), with buses stopping close by, so it’s easy to reach from across East London. We’re open Monday to Saturday 10:00–22:00 and Sunday 10:00–20:00. When you book online you can ask us to sort out your parking: we arrange a visitor permit for your car for your appointment and email you where to park. Your permit starts at your appointment time, or earlier if you choose, and the council allows 10 minutes after it ends; the permit streets we send you to are about 3 minutes’ walk away. On match days at Brisbane Road, the stadium right behind the spa, parking is very hard anywhere in Leyton: allow at least 20 minutes to find a space. Please arrive 10 minutes early so your consultation doesn’t come out of your treatment time. Questions first? Call 020 8558 8268.
Deep cleansing facial FAQs
How does this differ from the Cleansing & Moisturising Facial?
The Deep Cleansing Facial is 60 minutes (£70) and focuses on congestion and excess oil. The Cleansing & Moisturising Facial is 45 minutes (£55) and is for regular maintenance, rebalancing moisture.
Is there an option for sensitive skin?
Yes. The Sensitive Skin Deep Cleansing Facial is the same length and price, with a gentler approach for skin that reacts easily. There’s a men’s version of both.
Deep Cleansing or Anti-Acne?
Choose Deep Cleansing for congestion and excess oil, and Anti-Acne if your skin is prone to breakouts. If you’re unsure, book the closer match: your therapist assesses your skin at the consultation and adjusts the treatment.
How often should I come?
Many people come every four to six weeks; your therapist can suggest what suits your skin.
