Updated: Sep 27

After 40, skin starts to behave differently. You may notice more dryness, fine lines, puffiness, dullness or a gradual loss of firmness around the cheeks, jawline and eyes. These changes are completely natural, and the right facial can help your skin look fresher, smoother and more lifted.


At One Spa London, near Tower Bridge and London Bridge, we offer a range of facials designed for mature skin. This guide compares them side by side, with 2026 prices, so you can choose the best facial after 40 in London for your skin.

Why Your Skin Needs Different Care After 40


As skin matures, it holds less moisture, renews itself more slowly and gradually loses some firmness. Stress, sun exposure, sleep and hormonal changes can all add to dullness and dryness.


That is why the best facial after 40 in London should do more than cleanse. A good treatment supports hydration, circulation, texture and firmness, and gives you time to relax, which your skin benefits from too.


Best Facial After 40 in London: Treatments Compared


EMS Facial Sculpting (35 min £75, 55 min £110)

Looking for a lifting facial without injections? EMS Facial Sculpting uses gentle electrical muscle stimulation to tone the facial muscles, helping the cheeks and jawline look more lifted and defined. It is comfortable, has no downtime, and works best as a course.


Ultrasound Facial Cavitation (35 min £80, 55 min £120)

Ultrasound Facial Cavitation uses ultrasound technology to smooth skin texture, support facial contouring and reduce puffiness. It suits anyone who wants a more sculpted look without needles or surgery.


Kobido Non-Surgical Face Lifting (75 min £135)

Kobido is a traditional Japanese facial massage that combines lifting techniques, lymphatic drainage and deep relaxation. It is a lovely natural option if you hold tension in your jaw or face, and results build over a course.


Anti-Aging Facial (55 min £95, 85 min £125)

Our Anti-Aging Facial uses targeted active skincare, an algae mask and LED light therapy to improve the look of fine lines, uneven tone and dullness. For best results, we recommend a series of treatments.


HydraFacial (45 min £99, 80 min £145)

HydraFacial cleanses, exfoliates, clears pores and floods the skin with hydrating serums in one treatment. It is ideal before an event, when skin looks tired, or as a monthly maintenance facial. Read more in our HydraFacial London guide.


Nourishing Hydration Facial (55 min £95, 85 min £125)

Dryness is one of the most common concerns after 40. Our Nourishing Hydration Facial replenishes moisture and leaves skin softer, plumper and more comfortable.


Revitalising Signature Facial (55 min £95, 85 min £125)

The Revitalising Signature Facial combines deep cleansing, exfoliation, facial massage and a customised mask. It is a great place to start if you are not sure which facial to choose.


Deep Cleansing Facial (55 min £95, 85 min £125)

Mature skin can still be congested. Our Deep Cleansing Facial clears blocked pores and refreshes uneven texture, and is a good first step before a lifting or anti-ageing course.
