What organic facial at Branford River Spa actually involves

The organic facial is built on plant-based, fragrance-conscious products for skin that reacts badly to strong actives and heavy perfume. Cleanse, gentle enzyme exfoliation, a botanical mask and a barrier-supporting finish — no aggressive acids, no hot steam blast.

It is the facial we recommend during pregnancy, for teenagers with easily irritated skin, and for anyone whose face goes red and tight after a typical salon treatment. Your esthetician still checks your skin properly and will tell you honestly if a different treatment would serve you better.

Booking from Durham: what to expect

A full hour: double cleanse, skin analysis, gentle exfoliation, optional light extractions, a facial and décolleté massage, a botanical mask, then serum, moisturiser and SPF. Skin looks calm and hydrated rather than flushed.

Route 79 to Route 80 drops you into Branford Center without touching a highway — the calmest thirty-minute ride from anywhere in Durham. Guests travel in from Durham Center, Johnson Lane, and the Route 17 corridor, and if you know the Durham Fairgrounds, Allyn Brook Park, and the Durham Town Green you are only minutes from our door at 249 East Main Street.
