What Happened When We Tried The Light Salon’s Skin Reset Facial in selfridges

You’ve probably seen The Light Salon’s LED masks on Instagram – those sleek, glowing masks loved by editors and beauty obsessives alike. This new Treatment Room inside Selfridges takes that concept a step further, offering a more immersive, results-driven experience that blends professional LED therapy with expert massage and targeted skincare.

Tucked away just off the Beauty Hall, the space feels calm, softly lit and worlds away from the bustle outside. It’s part of Selfridges’ growing focus on wellbeing treatments that actually work – think collagen-boosting LED, micro needling and lymphatic facials designed to strengthen, nourish and restore.

The Light Salon’s menu includes the Brightening Collagen Boost for instant radiance, the Face Lift with Microcurrent to tone and sculpt, and the Hair Revitaliser to stimulate scalp health.

But a year post-partum, when my skin was feeling a little dull and unbalanced, the Skin Reset sounded like exactly what I needed – something clarifying yet gentle. The 45-minute facial combines a bespoke peel, advanced LED, a hydrogel mask and lymphatic massage to re-energise and restore balance.

If the words ‘chemical peel’ terrify you, this is nothing like the images in your mind of red, raw skin, its a gentle peel that lasts about 10 minutes.

My therapist, Edita, began with a thorough consultation and patch test before applying the peel. It was painless, just a light tingle, followed by a cooling hydrogel mask that instantly soothed.

Then came the main event: fifteen minutes under the LED light. Warm, bright and strangely comforting, it’s designed to stimulate collagen, calm inflammation and encourage cell renewal. I could have easily fallen asleep – and as any mother knows, that kind of enforced stillness feels like its own kind of therapy.

A final lymphatic massage helped lift and define, leaving my skin feeling fresh and radiant. There was no redness or irritation, just that rare feeling of balance – skin that looks clean, calm and healthy. Edita’s post-treatment advice was simple and realistic: stay hydrated, use a good moisturiser and never skip SPF. 

The results were immediate. The next morning, I didn’t reach for foundation; my skin didn’t need it. This is the kind of treatment that fits perfectly into a lunch break or midweek reset, and would make a thoughtful Christmas gift for anyone who deserves a little time to themselves.

Between the convenience of Selfridges, the efficiency of the treatment and the genuinely impressive results, this is one to add to have on your beauty radar.
