At the heart of each facial is natural actives, essential oils, botanical extracts, and herbal preparations that are founded on te ao Māori and the centuries-old healing practices of the Ngāti Whakaue people. 

Wai Ariki Signature Facial - (Mata Waiariki)


Mata Tukinga combines the best of both worlds with therapeutic fire and ice facial therapy creating a multi-sensory experience. The heated function promotes product absorption by opening pores and enabling serums to penetrate. Cold functions, meanwhile, tighten pores as well as relieve inflammation.
