Who the Black Tie Facial is for
This facial is created specifically for men's skin, which is typically thicker, oilier and challenged by daily shaving. It suits anyone who wants to look their best without a complicated routine.
- Men who shave regularly and want to calm irritation, redness and ingrown hairs
- Those with congested, oily or shine-prone skin in need of a thorough deep cleanse
- Anyone preparing for a wedding, event or important occasion who wants to look sharp
- Busy professionals seeking a refined, low-maintenance way to maintain their skin
- First-timers who would like an introduction to professional skincare in a relaxed setting
- Men who simply want to switch off, unwind and feel properly looked after
Why choose the Black Tie Facial
Men's skin has its own needs. It tends to be thicker and produce more oil than women's skin, and the daily routine of shaving can leave it sensitised, prone to ingrown hairs and quick to look dull or congested. A generic facial does not always account for this, which is exactly why we created a treatment built around the way men's skin actually behaves.
Using our trusted ClinicCare collection, the Black Tie Facial works to lift away the build-up that comes from shaving, pollution and long days, leaving the complexion clearer, smoother and more even. The result is skin that looks fresher and more rested rather than overtly 'treated' — a natural, healthy improvement that fits effortlessly into your life.
Beyond the visible benefits, this is an hour that belongs entirely to you. At By Shiva, premium beauty is as much about how you feel leaving as how you look, and the Black Tie Facial is designed to deliver both in equal measure.
How it works
The Black Tie Facial follows a structured, professional sequence using ClinicCare products selected to suit your skin on the day. Your therapist works methodically through cleansing, gentle exfoliation, extraction where helpful, and a targeted mask, before finishing with hydration and protection. Each step is adjusted to your skin's condition, whether that is congestion, shaving irritation, dullness or simple tiredness.
Because every stage is tailored, the treatment addresses what your skin needs now rather than following a one-size-fits-all formula. Nothing here is harsh or invasive — it is a considered, results-focused facial that leaves skin balanced and comfortable.
Your appointment, step by step
From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave, here is what your hour with us looks like.
- A short, friendly consultation to understand your skin, your shaving routine and any concerns such as ingrown hairs, oiliness or sensitivity.
- A thorough double cleanse to remove the day's build-up of oil, sweat and grime, preparing the skin for the steps ahead.
- Gentle exfoliation to lift away dead surface cells, smooth rough patches and help reduce the appearance of congestion.
- Careful extraction where appropriate, focusing on blocked pores and problem areas, followed by a soothing, targeted mask matched to your skin.
- A relaxing facial massage to ease tension, encourage circulation and help you fully unwind.
- Final hydration and protection to leave your skin balanced, comfortable and looking refreshed, with simple advice for keeping it that way.
In the treatment room
Settle back in a warm, calm space and let the noise of the day fall away. Most clients find the experience deeply relaxing — the steady rhythm of cleansing, the cool of a mask and the easing pressure of a facial massage all combine into a genuine moment of downtime. You may feel light tingling during exfoliation or a little pressure during extractions, both entirely normal and over quickly.
Your comfort guides everything. Your therapist will check in throughout, adjust pressure and products to suit you, and keep the experience pleasant from start to finish. Many men arrive a touch unsure and leave wondering why they waited so long.
Results you can expect
The Black Tie Facial delivers an immediate lift, with the look and feel of your skin continuing to settle over the following days.
- Straight away: skin feels deeply cleansed, smoother to the touch and noticeably refreshed.
- Same evening: a clearer, more even and well-rested appearance, ideal before an event.
- Next few days: reduced congestion and a calmer, more comfortable complexion, particularly around shaving-prone areas.
- With regular visits: better-balanced oil, fewer breakouts and ingrown hairs, and a consistently healthier-looking glow.
- Ongoing: skin that is easier to manage day to day and responds better to your home care.
Caring for your skin afterwards
There is no downtime, so you can head straight back to your day. A few simple steps will help you make the most of your results.
- Avoid shaving immediately after your facial; give freshly cleansed, exfoliated skin a little time to settle.
- Keep skin hydrated and apply an SPF during the day to protect your refreshed complexion.
- Skip harsh scrubs, strong active products and very hot water for 24 hours.
- Drink plenty of water and resist touching or picking at the skin.
- Steer clear of saunas, steam rooms and heavy sweating for the rest of the day.
- Maintain your results with a simple daily routine and regular facials, around every four to six weeks.
Safety and suitability
The Black Tie Facial is a gentle, non-invasive treatment suitable for men of all skin types, and no patch test is required. Mild, short-lived redness can occasionally appear after extractions or exfoliation, which settles quickly. Please let your therapist know in advance about any allergies, skin conditions, recent sunburn, active breakouts, cold sores or recent cosmetic procedures so we can tailor the treatment safely.
If you have very sensitive or reactive skin, or any medical skin concern, do mention it at consultation and we will adapt the facial accordingly or advise the best option for you.
