HydraGlass Facial Toronto — For When "My Skin Is Dry and Tired" ($169)
"My skin is dry and tired." When guests say this at Imperial Retreat, they usually mean a few things at once: skin that feels tight after washing, makeup that clings to flaky patches, and a face that looks dull even after a full night's sleep. The HydraGlass Infusion is our 70-minute hydrating facial in Toronto, available at our Etobicoke and Newmarket locations, designed to bring back that soft, comfortable, dewy feeling.
At $169, it's the facial we suggest when skin needs moisture more than anything else. Your aesthetician starts with a quick skin check, then customizes the session to how dry or sensitive your skin feels that day.
Why Skin Feels Dry and Tired
Dry skin and dehydrated skin are slightly different, and most people in the GTA deal with both at some point in the year.
Dry Skin
Dry skin doesn't make enough of its own oils. It tends to feel rough or flaky and can look matte and flat.
Dehydrated Skin
Dehydrated skin is missing water. Even oily skin can feel dehydrated. It often shows up as tightness, fine dry lines when you smile, and a tired, dull look.
Ontario makes this harder. Long winters, indoor heating, cold wind, hot showers, air conditioning in summer, and long days in front of a screen all pull moisture from the skin. Add stress and short sleep and your face can start to look as tired as you feel. A rich cream at home helps, but it mostly sits on top. A hydrating facial gives skin a deeper, more thorough drink.
What to Expect, Step by Step
Every HydraGlass Infusion follows the same staff protocol, adjusted to your skin by your aesthetician.
Step 1: Gentle Exfoliation
After a light cleanse, a gentle exfoliation lifts away dry, flaky surface cells. Clearing this layer helps everything that follows absorb better instead of sitting on top.
Step 2: Hydrating Serum
A hydrating serum is applied across the face. It's chosen to give skin a quick, comfortable boost of moisture.
Step 3: Ultrasonic Infusion
This is the signature step. A smooth ultrasonic device glides over the skin to help the serum sink in more deeply. It feels light, cool, and gentle, and most guests find it relaxing.
Step 4: Hydration and Recovery
Your aesthetician layers on more moisture and recovery care to help skin feel soft, supple, and settled.
Step 5: Mask
A soothing hydrating mask locks everything in while you rest. This is often the moment guests drift off.
Step 6: Massage
The session ends with a relaxing facial massage. It helps you unwind and leaves your skin looking brighter and more awake, with a fresh, dewy finish.
What Our Guests Notice
An accountant from Newmarket booked the HydraGlass Infusion in the middle of tax season. Between long hours in a heated office and very little sleep, her skin felt tight by mid-afternoon and her foundation kept settling into dry patches around her nose and cheeks. Her aesthetician focused on gentle exfoliation and extra time on the hydration steps. She said her skin felt soft and comfortable for the first time in weeks, and her makeup sat smoothly the next morning. She now books one in late January and another in April.

The Emperor Head Spa — A Relaxing Complement ($110 Promo)
Dry, tired skin often comes with a tired mind. The Emperor Head Spa pairs a 60-minute head spa with a 30-minute mini facial (regular $125, now $110 on promo), starting with your scalp so you're fully relaxed before any skin care begins. It's a lovely choice when you want a calm, restful visit more than a full facial.
If you want both at full length, ask about our Head Spa + HydraGlass package: a 60-minute head spa plus the full HydraGlass Infusion, about 130 minutes in total. Scalp to skin hydration. Ask us for the package price when you book.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does ultrasonic infusion feel like?
Most guests describe it as a light, cool gliding sensation. There's no pain and no downtime. Many find it one of the most relaxing parts of the session.
Is the HydraGlass Infusion good for oily skin that feels tight?
Yes. Oily skin can still be dehydrated. Your aesthetician will choose lighter hydration so your skin feels comfortable without feeling heavy.
How often should I book a hydrating facial?
Every 4–6 weeks works well for most guests, and many book more often during the winter months when indoor heating is running.
Will my skin look red afterwards?
Usually not. Most guests leave with skin that looks fresh and dewy, so it's an easy facial to book before work or plans.
What's the difference between HydraGlass and SOS Barrier Recovery?
HydraGlass is focused on moisture and glow for dry, tired skin. SOS Barrier Recovery is gentler still, designed for skin that feels sensitive or stressed. Your aesthetician can suggest the better fit after a quick skin check.
Can men book the HydraGlass Infusion?
Absolutely. It's a great choice for anyone whose skin feels tight from shaving, cold weather, or long days indoors.
