Facials in Cranborne

Cranborne is beautiful and very short on services, which anyone living there already knows. For most treatments the choice is Verwood, Wimborne or Salisbury, and Verwood is comfortably the closest of the three at about six miles.

The drive down Cranborne Road is one of the better ones in Dorset, especially in the late afternoon, and it delivers you to a private studio rather than a high street. Off road parking, one appointment at a time, and no reception area to sit in.

Village life in Cranborne Chase means a lot of time outdoors, and outdoor skin has its own set of issues. Wind exposure, sun in the summer and cold in the winter all show up as tightness, redness across the cheeks and a rough texture that moisturiser alone does not fix. Both treatments are built around hydration and barrier support rather than stripping the skin back, which suits weather beaten skin better than a harsh deep cleanse would.

Getting here from Cranborne

Head southeast out of the village on Cranborne Road, through Boveridge and Alderholt Common, straight into Verwood. About six miles with no town centres on the way.

Late morning appointments work well from Cranborne, since the roads are at their quietest and you keep the rest of the day.
