If you’ve been searching for a results-driven facial that does more than just make your skin glow for a day—this is it.

Looking for a facial that delivers more than just a temporary glow? At The Buff Day Spa, we’re proud to be one of the first spas in Dublin to offer Dermalogica’s ExoBooster Microneedling—a powerful new treatment that takes skin rejuvenation to the next level.

Whether you’re dealing with fine lines, dull skin, uneven texture, or enlarged pores, this 60-minute treatment is designed to visibly transform your skin with long-lasting results.

🌿 What is ExoBooster Microneedling?
ExoBooster is an advanced microneedling facial that combines collagen-inducing microneedling with a cocktail of skin-repairing boosters. It’s a clinically backed treatment designed to stimulate natural healing, improve skin tone, and deeply hydrate the skin—making it ideal for anyone seeking real, visible improvements.

✨ Key Benefits of ExoBooster Microneedling:

• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles by up to 86%
• Improves skin resilience by 46% compared to microneedling alone
• Smooths uneven skin texture and reduces the appearance of large pores
• Boosts skin hydration with omega-3s and natural plant extracts
• Promotes faster skin recovery post-treatment

This treatment is suitable for all skin types and works brilliantly on its own or as an upgrade to your regular facial routine.

🧬 What Makes ExoBooster So Effective?
The secret lies in its ingredients:

• Vegan exosomes – These are naturally derived messengers that signal your skin to regenerate and repair itself, leading to faster healing and stronger skin structure.
• Omega-3s – Help soothe and deeply hydrate, enhancing your skin’s barrier function.
• Olive plant extracts – Deliver antioxidant protection while improving smoothness and tone.

This powerful blend supports the skin from the inside out, helping you achieve a healthy, radiant complexion that lasts longer than traditional facials.

🩺 Is a Patch Test Required?
Yes, because ExoBooster is an advanced skin treatment, we require a Consultation and Patch Test before booking your session. This ensures the treatment is perfectly suited to your skin’s unique needs. Book Patch Test Here

Because booking a holiday shouldn’t feel like a full-time job — Kayak makes it easy, smart, and even a little fun.

Let’s face it — planning a trip these days can feel like a second job. You’ve got 14 tabs open, flight prices changing every time you blink, and hotel listings that look suspiciously better in photos than they probably do in real life. Sound familiar?

That’s where Kayak.com comes in to save your sanity. It’s not just another travel website; it’s your one-stop search engine for flights, hotels, and car hire — minus the chaos. Kayak does the legwork, comparing hundreds of travel sites at once so you don’t have to.

Need the cheapest flight? Kayak’s got it. Prefer a boutique hotel with charm (and not a mystery stain on the carpet)? Sorted. Looking for a rental car that doesn’t scream “student budget”? Easy.

And here’s the clever bit — Kayak’s price prediction tool actually helps you decide when to book. No more panic-buying a flight at 2am “just in case.” Want to hold out for a better deal? Kayak will let you know if it’s worth the wait.

Feeling indecisive? Their Explore feature is perfect for when you’re craving a getaway but haven’t quite figured out where. Just enter your budget, and Kayak throws up destination ideas that might surprise (and inspire) you.

The cherry on top? Price alerts. Pick your route, and Kayak will track it for you, sending updates when prices drop. It’s like having a personal travel assistant — but one who never sleeps and doesn’t charge by the hour.

Bottom line: travel planning should be part of the fun, not the reason you need a holiday in the first place. With Kayak, it actually is.

A calming day spa overlooking Grafton Street is offering membership packages

By Laura Birmingham

A day spa on the corner of Grafton Street and the Stephen’s Green shopping centre is opening up a membership programme for anyone wanting to commit to a self-care regime.

An oasis of calm in one of Dublin’s busiest spots, we imagine this will appeal to city centre workers who fancy a 30-minute lunchtime treat or a quick facial after work before they head home.

The memberships will run on three tiers at the Buff Day Spa, so there is something for everyone. Here’s the info you need to know.

The Buff Day Spa is upstairs just next to the Gaiety Theatre and it is so peaceful away from the madding crowds down below on the street. It has a relaxation room, a sauna, mani and pedi stations and uses brands like Voya, Image and Dermalogica for its face and body treatments.

Massage is big at the day spa and you only have to roll yourself out the door to hop on a bus or the Luas when you are feeling relaxed and ready for the rest of your day.

Spa Packages

The day spa packages are as follows. The Unwind Membership costs €79 per month and the deal offers a monthly Buff Express Facial or Back Massage, plus the choice of a Scalp, Hand or Foot massage as an add-on. This is the best deal price-wise and it would keep your skin glowing for the months ahead.

The Restore Membership costs €120 per month. This includes a Full Body Massage, (with Essential Oils or Hot Stone options), each month, or a Customised Facial with a choice of Scalp, Hand or Foot Massage. This package also includes a free 30-minute treatment in your birthday month (like a Spa Manicure, Express Pedicure, Back Massage or Indian Head Massage) and this membership gets you 10% off products, other treatments and gift cards.

The most luxurious membership is the Elevate Membership package, which costs €155 per month. This gets you the treatments just mentioned but with the following add-ons – an hour-long complimentary treatment during their birthday month, free samples of new beauty and skincare products, extra loyalty points and taster treatments of new spa therapies. Of course, no matter what package you are signed up for there is always access to the relaxation room to enjoy a little quiet and a cup of herbal tea, or a chance to sit in the sauna and just chill.

Eileen Fleming who owns the day spa says ‘We often hear clients saying they wish that they made self-care a more regular part of their routine. With our memberships, they can easily prioritise their well-being, ensuring they visit us every month without fail.’ Sounds fantastic for anyone working in the surrounding area. The spa opens until 7 pm Monday to Wednesday, but on Thursday, it’s open until 9 pm and 8 pm on Friday. Closed on Sundays, the day spa shuts at 6 pm on Saturdays.
