What is a Fire & Ice facial?

A resurfacing mask is followed by a separate hydrating mask.

Fire & Ice is a professional facial associated with iS Clinical. It starts with a resurfacing mask and follows with a cooling, hydrating mask. The name describes the different sensations during these stages.

It is a surface-care treatment, not a laser procedure. Before booking, confirm the products included in your facial and discuss your skin concerns, sensitivity and current routine.

What do the two masks do?

The first mask provides selected surface exfoliation and may feel warm.

Resurfacing mask

The first step focuses on exfoliation and surface texture. You may notice warmth or tingling. Tell the practitioner about strong burning or discomfort so they can check your skin.

The second mask represents cooling and moisturising care.

Hydrating mask

After the first mask is removed, a separate mask provides a cooling, moisturising finish. Its role is to support hydration and comfort after the resurfacing step.

What changes might you notice?

Selected exfoliation acts on loose cells at the outer skin surface.

The aim is a smoother-feeling surface and a fresher appearance. Hydration can also make dry-looking fine lines less noticeable for a time. The change varies with your skin and the products used.

Persistent pigment patches, inflamed acne and deeper scars need a separate assessment. A facial can be part of skin care without being the answer to every concern.

  1. 01

    A short-term refresh

    Discuss a realistic goal for this visit, rather than expecting a permanent change from one facial.

  2. 02

    Your daily routine still matters

    Cleansing, moisturising and sun protection support the skin between appointments.

Is your skin ready for exfoliation?

A face, a sensitivity marker and a product label represent checks before choosing a facial.
  1. 01

    Sensitive or inflamed skin

    Mention rosacea, eczema, sunburn, broken skin or a current rash. The facial may need to wait, or a gentler option may be more suitable.

  2. 02

    Acne products and retinoids

    Share the products and medicines you use. Adding another exfoliating step to an active routine can increase irritation. Follow individual advice about any changes.

  3. 03

    Skin that marks easily

    Tell the team if irritation has left dark marks before. A stronger or longer application is not necessarily better for your skin.

  4. 04

    Allergies and recent procedures

    Review ingredient allergies, recent peels, lasers or waxing, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and any upcoming event. Product choice and timing should fit your circumstances.

OUR PROCEDURE

How your appointment works

STEP 01

Check the skin and plan

  • Review your routine

    Discuss the concern, previous reactions and recent treatments. Confirm which products will be used and the expected sensations.

  • Prepare gently

    The practitioner cleanses the skin and checks the treatment area. Additional procedures are included only when suitable and agreed.

Sensitivity and current products are reviewed before facial treatment.
STEP 02

Follow the two mask stages

  • Apply and monitor the first mask

    The practitioner follows the selected product protocol and watches your skin response. You can speak up at any point if the sensation is uncomfortable.

  • Remove, then hydrate

    The resurfacing mask is removed before the hydrating stage. Suitable finishing products complete the facial; the exact sequence follows the products used.

The first mask is removed before the second hydrating mask is applied.
STEP 03

Keep the skin comfortable

  • Confirm what to use

    Ask when to restart exfoliating acids, retinoids, makeup and other treatments. Avoid adding an extra scrub to freshly treated skin.

  • Review before repeating

    Let the skin settle and assess the change. Book another session for a clear purpose rather than following the same course as someone else.

Moisturiser and sun protection represent a simple aftercare routine.

What should you expect afterwards?

Simple moisturising and sun protection support the skin after a facial.
  1. 01

    Allow for sensitivity

    The skin may feel warm, look flushed or become dry or sensitive. A low-downtime facial can still cause a reaction, particularly when the products are new to you.

  2. 02

    Protect the skin

    Use the advised moisturiser and sun protection. Avoid picking at flakes or trying stronger products while the skin feels irritated.

  3. 03

    Ask for help if it worsens

    Contact the clinic for persistent burning, swelling, blistering or a new rash. Severe swelling or breathing difficulty needs urgent medical care.

FAQs

Common questions

Ask us on WhatsApp
01Does Fire & Ice use flames or ice on the face?

No. The name refers to the warming and cooling sensations of the two mask stages. It does not involve burning or freezing the skin.

02Is it the same as a deep chemical peel?

No. This facial pairs a resurfacing mask with hydrating care. A deeper chemical peel has a different purpose, treatment depth and recovery plan.

03Should the first mask feel painful?

Strong pain or burning should not be ignored. Tell the practitioner immediately so they can assess your skin and remove the product if needed.

04Can I have it if I use retinol?

Tell the team which product you use and how often. They will advise whether to adjust the routine or delay the facial. Do not add another exfoliating treatment without checking.

05Can it remove dark spots or acne scars?

A surface refresh may change the look or feel of the skin, but pigment patches and deeper scars often need targeted treatment. Start with an assessment of the concern.

06Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Not always. The products, current skin condition and previous reactions matter. A hydrating facial without resurfacing may be a better choice.

07Can I book it just before a wedding?

Leave time for an unexpected reaction to settle, especially for a first treatment. Share the event date when planning rather than assuming there will be no redness.

08How often should I repeat the facial?

There is no one schedule for everyone. Your skin response, current routine and reason for another visit should guide the decision.
