Last Summer, I briefly experienced Quintessentially British grooming brand – Monroe of London – developed in collaboration with The Harley Street Skin Clinic.
The range and overall experience includes active ingredients that protect and repair skin from daily elements to keep it healthy and youthful looking whilst promoting a routine that all men can subscribe to.
My recent experience was by means of a facial at The Harley Street Skin Clinic with the wonderful Sally Boden. As someone who has had quite a few facial treatments, it takes a lot for me to be genuinely overwhelmed by an experience, but I have to admit that Sally and the Monroe of London process is possibly the finest in recent memory.
As someone with mild OCD in the form of symmetry whether it is in the gym or general grooming technique, it made me so happy to feel Sally’s fingers work my face in the most inclusive and balanced way – not always a skill set that all facialists (even the most professional) can boast. From a technical standpoint, I particularly enjoyed the use of the Glycolic Serum which works by eating away at the glue between the cells, it is a natural exfoliant, which gently sloughs off dead skin cells. You can learn more about it here. Another great element was Sally’s technique with magnets around the eyes which acts as a wrinkle reduction treatment using opposite polarity which also delivers the most hypnotising, almost meditational state.
