A facial is a professional skincare treatment carried out by a qualified beauty therapist. A classic facial follows a set sequence — skin consultation, cleanse, exfoliation, steam and extractions where needed, a mask, facial massage and finishing products — and is adapted to dry, oily, sensitive or mature skin. Spas usually work with one or two professional skincare brands and name their facials after them.
Beyond the classic there are more targeted options: hydrating and brightening facials, anti-ageing facials with peptides or LED light, microdermabrasion and enzyme peels for texture, and express 30-minute versions that fit a lunch break. Clinical treatments such as chemical peels above a mild strength and microneedling are usually offered by aesthetic clinics rather than wellness centres, and need a consultation first.
A 60-minute facial costs about £60 to £100 at a day spa outside London and £90 to £180 in London and hotel spas, with express facials from £40. Tell the therapist about any prescription skincare, such as retinoids, or recent sunburn, and avoid waxing or strong actives on the face for a few days before.

Cardiff Bay is the newest and most polished part of the city, with hotel spas overlooking the water, thermal suites and day spa packages aimed at visitors and groups; it is also where open-water swimming and outdoor saunas have arrived. The City Centre covers the hotels and the leisure spas near the shopping streets. Roath and Canton are residential and good value, with independent yoga and Pilates studios, complementary therapy clinics and community wellbeing projects serving a loyal local clientele.
