Why About Face’s Skin Plan is the only facial membership you need this season
I love a good membership. Maybe it’s nostalgia from the days of laminated video store cards (the choice is Ezy), later replaced with yoga studios and boutique gyms. Whatever the origin, memberships for the body have become a modern staple. But skin? That’s new territory.
About Face has decided it shouldn’t be. Their Skin Plans work like a subscription, but instead of collecting points or wasting your direct debit, you get six or twelve months of curated, high-touch skin care. No roulette of random facials, no ‘wait until things look bad’ panic. Just a plan, mapped out with your goals in mind: wedding glow, post-winter recovery, or committing to looking in the mirror without a sigh.
Before & after.
There are four plans. Relax, for the Vitamin Facial devotees who want to melt into the bed every month. Revive, for fending off the first signs of ageing without losing the ritual. Renew, if you want results-driven facials without stepping into laser territory. And Rejuvenate, the full rewind, for those ready to go all in.
And amongst it all, the real headliner here is The Power of Three. About Face’s signature facial, and a treatment I’ve officially joined the fan club for. It’s exactly what it sounds like: three advanced technologies layered in a way that makes each one hit harder. You start with a customised skin peel—that’s your exfoliation and fresh start. Then, LED light therapy, which works under the surface to stimulate collagen and calm inflammation. And finally, sonophoresis: ultrasound that pushes active ingredients deeper than your at-home serum dreams of going.
It’s 75 minutes of no-mess, no-fluff efficiency. You could walk in with a combination of fine lines, uneven tone, congestion and texture issues, and walk out smoother, brighter, and slightly more obsessed with your own reflection. The glow is immediate. The kind of immediate that makes you cancel plans just so you can keep looking at your face in good lighting.
But the Power of Three isn’t just about the day of. Woven into a Skin Plan, it’s the consistency that makes it worth it. Each session builds on the last, nudging your skin into better habits: faster turnover, stronger barrier, fewer flare-ups. It’s not magic, it’s just smart, regular maintenance with tools that actually work.
We all know that the beauty industry loves a ‘must-try’ treatment, but this isn’t about hype. It’s about knowing something delivers and making it part of your routine. The Power of Three is exactly that: a treatment that gives you the instant hit and the long-term payoff. If memberships are an investment in longevity, this is the skin-care equivalent of blue-chip stock. And I’m more than happy to keep my name on the list.
