Holistic Facial
Holistic
skincare has become increasingly popular, using natural products
containing essential oils, botanicals, vitamins and anti-oxidants as an
alternative to chemically based products. Holistic facial massage uses various techniques and products, tailored to specific skin types and conditions.
Benefits
Psychological (mind)
- Relaxing
- Soothing
- Creates feeling of well being
- Extremely beneficial if highly strung or tense
Physiological (effect on inner body)
- Improves blood & lymph flow
- Increases cellular activity in the basal layer of skin ie with the increase of blood comes fresh oxygen and nutrients which 'feed' the skin, which activates cell production
- Aids desquamation of the stratum corneum (beneficial for ALL skin types, but particularly oily skins: removes cellular blockages)
Physical (the effects we can see on the skins surface)
- Produces softer, finer skin surface
- Helps avoid the formation of dry, crepy skin
- Delays the physical effects of ageing ie if carried out regularly it will ease fine facial lines around the eyes
- Keeps the skin in good health by delaying/preventing skin thickening
- Reduces pigmentation marks
- Helps prevent fibrous malformations eg skin tags
Your Treatment
The treatment will begin
by removing any traces of make-up on
the eyes and lips, followed by a thorough cleanse of the face and neck.
Exfoliants will be gently massaged into the skin, avoiding eyes and
sensitive areas. A facial steam (using a hot towel) will be followed by a
gentle face mask. A scalp & shoulder/arm massage will take place as the mask is left in place for 10 minutes. Massage of the face will then follow using specially blended essential oils which will nourish
the skin as well as help treat any problem areas. Following the massage your treatment will conclude with
a moisturiser & eye gel.
Premium quality Aromatherapy products from Quinessence are used.
