Holistic Therapies
This treatment comes from an ancient Ayurvedic tradition, and is a comforting and luxurious treat for when you feel the need for the ultimate in pampering and relaxation.
The facial therapy begins by cleansing the skin using a gentle Aloe Vera cleanser, which soothes and detoxifies.
This is followed by a gentle Apricot and Papaya exfoliation treatment which reveals new healthy glowing skin.
Once your skin is prepared I can move on to the indulgent Ayurvedic face and scalp massage using a nourishing oil containing the uplifting scent of oranges.
I use a variety of movements including smooth strokes to release subtle tensions underneath the skin and firm but gentle finger pressure on specific points which are believed to cleanse blocked energy.
The benefits of an Ayurvedic Facial include rejuvenation of the skin and a reduction in lines and puffiness.
It relaxes the facial muscles, softens the skin and improves the skin tone and complexion.
It is believed that the strokes help to balance the subtle energy of the body and as some of the strokes are concentrated around the eye and nose areas it can relieve congestion and sinusitis.
It can also increase energy as the body’s energy flow is improved, and helps to promote a positive mental attitude.
