Exclusive to April, who has been in the beauty industry for 40 years, the Buccal Fusion Facial is a unique treatment designed to give the facial muscles the attention they deserve, both inside and outside the mouth.
It became famous when Meghan Markle admitted that she was a huge fan of the facial in 2019.
“Often neglected, the muscles in the face need stimulation and movement to stay toned and vital — just like the rest of our bodies,” says April, adding that she unites a blend of detoxification, stimulation, and relaxation.
The 90-minute facial balances holistic facial therapy with an uplifting sculpting facial massage to leave skin visibly firm and lifted.

Its inside-out rhythm claims to sculpt and awaken the complexion by improving blood flow, boosting natural collagen production, smoothing and relaxing deep lines while reducing muscle tone.
It’s also perfect for those struggling with jaw clenching, teeth grinding and tension headaches as it welcomes renewed oxygenation to the skin, releasing unwanted tension and igniting optimal blood flow and circulation.
The facial isn’t everything Simone swears by for a stunning complexion, with the model previously raving about O Cosmedics’ gentle antioxidant cleanser, their B3+ serum and the Alpha H Daily Facial Moisturizer.

She also likes MISSHA’s 100+ SPF sun milk, Dr. Dennis Gross Peel Pads, the Dermalogica Blemish Treatment, Sunday Riley Sleep Oil, and Prescription Retin-A.
‘I drink a lot of water and stay out of the sun. I also never wear makeup when I’m not working and get facials regularly,” she told Zitsticka.
‘Of course I also use a lot of acids; I am constantly peeling or burning something.
“I also do violent contouring with a jade roller and use French Nipple Cream on the lips. Also, you know those Bio-K shots you get at the grocery store; the probiotic? Put that on your face as a mask, because it’s full of enzymes and stuff.’
