Skin Foundations: The Beginning of Your Skin Journey

Your path to real skin change starts with clarity.

At Shine Skin and Body, your first appointment isn’t about squeezing everything into one facial. It’s about finally understanding your skin, getting answers you can trust, and setting you up for results that won’t fade the moment life gets busy again.

Why Your Foundation Matters

You’re not alone if your skin has been confusing you.

One month it behaves, the next it doesn’t. Products that once worked suddenly don’t. Breakouts show up out of nowhere, dryness hits at the worst time and congestion keeps coming back. It’s frustrating, and it’s hard to know what your skin is actually asking for.

The Skin Foundations Facial exists to remove the guesswork. You’ll walk away knowing:
• what’s causing your skin issues
• which products are helping or harming
• what your skin actually needs to improve
• exactly how to move forward with confidence
• how to stop the cycle of trial and error

This is where long-term results begin.

Where appropriate, your therapist may chat with you about advanced options that could accelerate your results. This is only ever suggested if your skin is ready and it aligns with your goals. Any elevated treatments such as needling or laser are completely optional and may come with an additional cost.

The Skin Foundations Facial

A clear diagnosis. A gentle beginning. A plan you can follow.

This appointment focuses on giving you understanding, not overwhelming you with unnecessary steps. You receive:
• A full skin consultation that gets to the root cause
• A complete review of your homecare so you know what to keep, change or stop
• Imaging to show what’s happening beneath the surface
• A simple, effective treatment to begin repairing your skin

Your facial is guided by what you need most.
• If congestion is your main concern, we focus on extractions.
• If your barrier is fragile, we focus on strengthening and hydration.

Think of it as your first training session for your skin. Focused, purposeful and designed to set you up for success.

Great for anyone who wants answers, guidance and a gentle start to their journey.

The Skin Foundations Advanced Facial

When you want answers and a full treatment experience.

This option gives you everything in the Skin Foundations Facial with added time to deeply treat your skin. It is an extended, results-driven facial where we can:

• A blend of extractions and relaxation

• The option for more extractions if your skin needs it

• Deeper, more targeted treatment to advance your plan

• Full support for your skin from the very beginning

• LED if needed to address your concerns

Perfect if you want to walk out feeling clearer, calmer and well on your way.

What Happens Next

You won’t be left guessing.

After your treatment, your therapist creates a personalised skin plan tailored to your goals. It includes:
• product recommendations based on your skin condition
• treatment pathways for the months ahead
• clear steps so you know exactly what to do at home

This is where your transformation takes shape.

Our Skin Foundations Facial is a fully customised consultation and treatment designed to uncover your skin’s needs and begin your journey to healthier skin. Whether you’re dealing with breakouts, congestion, dullness or just want expert guidance, this is the ideal starting point. Led by experienced skin specialists in Melbourne, it can include extractions and tailored product recommendations.

Both versions of the Skin Foundations Facials are fully customised and include skin analysis, cleansing, exfoliation, manual extractions (no tools), and targeted treatment masks.

It is just about timing. The advanced is 20mins longer to include more extractions or a beautiful massage. 

Yes. This treatment is designed to address all stages of acne, including blackheads, whiteheads, congestion, and inflamed breakouts. Our therapists are acne specialists who will assess your skin and include extractions and treatment products as needed to begin clearing your skin from day one.

Absolutely. Skin Foundations Facial is for anyone wanting their best skin ever.  Whether you’re concerned about dehydration, sensitivity, pigmentation, rosacea or ageing, we tailor every step—from cleansing to finishing products—to suit your unique skin needs and goals.

Yes—if your skin requires them. We perform gentle, professional extractions to remove congestion, blackheads, and other impurities. Our extraction facials are known across Melbourne for their effectiveness and safety, especially for acne-prone skin.

There’s minimal to no downtime for most clients. If you’ve had extractions, you might notice mild redness that typically subsides within a few hours. If you have inflamed acne, your skin will calm within a few hours. Our focus is on skin healing, so we avoid harsh or aggressive techniques. You’ll leave feeling fresh, clean, and on track toward clearer skin.

We start with a thorough skin analysis and consultation. From there, your therapist selects products, techniques, and steps specific to your skin type and concerns—be it acne, dryness, rosacea, pigmentation, or sensitivity.

That depends on your skin goals. Many clients notice improvement after the first facial, but for long-term change—especially with acne, congestion, or pigmentation—we recommend a series of treatments, spaced 3–4 weeks apart. Your therapist will create a personalised treatment plan during your visit.

Yes. We regularly treat teenage clients and customise the experience to be gentle yet effective. Our goal is not only to clear breakouts but also to educate young clients about proper skincare at home.
