Mooi Beauty Therapy in Market Harborough

I had a luxury manicure and a Medik 8 Pore refining facial

My sister sent me off to Mooi Beauty in Market Harborough for a pamper I was exceedingly grateful for as the ladies here took exceptional care of me.

Dora my older had sister had booked me in for a facial which was specifically for dealing with skin, blocked pores and rejuvenation (maybe too much information but hey it worked) at £70 this specific treatment is called the Medik8 Pore Refining Facial and is designed to gently break down pore blockages.

Targeted actives and gentle exfoliation are used apparently to gently break down pore blockages and promote the appearance of a smoother complexion with less visible, enlarged pores.

I really enjoyed the treatment with Natalie. It lasted about 50 minutes in a lovely clean modern private treatment room, very quiet and serene. I enjoyed the experience from start to finish.

They have lots of different facials to pick from that do different things, all around the same price £70 so really depends on what your issues and problem areas are and the therapist will advise you which one is best for you.

My facial was followed by a complimentary nail treatment, a manicure with regular polish, I actually took my own which was fine but they do have a good selection of Opi nail lacquer colours to pick from.

My Standard OPI Manicure was gifted to me

It Included a nail file, cuticle work, hand massage, ordinary polish application for £40

I decided to upgrade to the Luxury Manicure for an extra £10.

This was the same treatment pretty much nail file, cuticle work, exfoliation, massage, but you got the heated mittens, something I particularly enjoyed.

If you don’t like ordinary polish and prefer gel polish this is a service available for a fee.

I don’t get a pampering like this very often so I did absolutely love my visit to Mooi. The space is in a beautiful old building with gorgeous architecture, and hard wood floors, high ceilings and lovely cornicing and architectural features which really did add to the experience. Everything was super clean and the staff, everyone I encountered was friendly and professional.

The treatments I received I loved but like I said I am not an expert when it comes to expensive beauty treatments, my skin did feel polished and rejuvenated for some time afterwards, at least a week. My enlarged pores I didn’t notice a massive change but I wasn’t expecting a miracle after only one treatment. I’d probably have to return a few times to see if that problem could be significantly improved.

I’ll definitely will be going back for another go when budget and schedule allows.

Thank you Mooi, you made my sister’s gift a real pleasure.
