The Peel Good Factor

Pastels Salon launches new extreme facial treatments.

Pastels has long been our goto salon for an impeccable blow-dry, and now it’s a firm favourite for facials, too. At the Jumeirah branch on Al Wasl Road, we recently put the new Nimue facials from Professor Aubrey Parsons to the test. Our 90-minute treatment begins with a consultation with facialist Edwige, who gently prods and examines our skin as she decides on the right plan of attack. Given the temperamental nature of our skin (red here, a bit spotty there), Edwige settles on the Nimue Deep Cleanse (Dhs475).
