A facial in Cap Skirring is for those whose skin has had sun and salt: a 30-minute session, at a flat rate, indoors, ideally booked in advance. A simple stop in a beach holiday in the Casamance.

A 30-minute session

The option lasts 30 minutes, at a flat rate, and takes place indoors, at a salon in Cap Skirring. It is a facial designed for a short break rather than a ritual of several hours.

Booking in advance is advised, especially if you want to schedule the session before an evening out or at the end of a stay. A 30-minute session is short enough to fit between two activities, without tying up a whole morning or afternoon, which makes it an easy treatment to place in a holiday programme.

Preparing for the session

A facial needs no effort to prepare for: just arrive with a clean face or let them remove your make-up on site, mentioning any sensitive skin, allergy or recent sunburn. After several days at the beach, skin is often drier and more sensitive: tell the beautician so the movements and products are adapted. Remember to stay in the shade and to hydrate well in the hours that follow.

A facial fits well at the end of the day, once sun exposure is over, or the day before departure to go home with rested skin. If you live in the Casamance, it is an upkeep appointment without leaving the region. If you are travelling, it is a way to put your face back in shape after a day at sea or on the trails, before setting off again.

Cap Skirring, between beach and Casamance

Cap Skirring is the beach resort of the Casamance, a green, unhurried region woven with rice paddies, forests and bolons (tidal creeks) among the mangroves.

Other treatments

To extend the moment, a pedicure and manicure, a massage or hairdressing complete the beauty break. An island excursion or a stop in Oussouye then give you a reason to go out.
