Aromatherapy Facial Treatments
My spa aromatherapy facials are performed using the lovely Eve Taylor Aromatherapy range of products. Facial massage improves the circulation to the skin, which encourages cell regeneration and production of sebum – resulting in increased suppleness and softness. A very relaxing experience.
The stages of the luxury facials include cleansing, steam deep cleansing, exfoliation, facial massage, mask, toner and moisturiser using the Eve Taylor range best suited to your skin type. For further details please see http://www.eve-taylor.com

Gua sha facial massage
This is a traditional Eastern facial treatment that involves using a flat jade or rose quartz stone in upward strokes to stimulate the skin and encourage the healing process, thus rejuvenating the skin. Pronounced "Gwarshar", the name means "the red scrape" - don't be alarmed by this however, as the facial techniques are far gentler than on the body, when a graze is the desired outcome.
Gua Sha for the face can result in improved circulation to the skin, increased lymphatic drainage and a glowing complexion. The skin on the face is toned,and lifted. It improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and stimulates production of collagen and elastin. Clients feel and look very relaxed following this treatment, and particularly enjoy the sensation of cool smooth jade and rose quartz on the skin.

Facial cupping
Also with its roots in Chinese medicine, facial cupping involves using small silicone suction cups to stimulate your skin and underlying muscle structures. Blood circulation is increased, resulting in cell rejuvenation and repair, and relieving muscle tension. Bruising does not normally happen, as the cups are moved constantly - however in very sensitive skin, mild discolouration may be seen for a few days, as it works by separating different layers of tissue resulting in “micro trauma”. This in turn triggers a healing response which stimulates the cells responsible for collagen production. This subsequently minimises the appearance of fine lines and wrinkle, brightens the skin, tones the jawline and chin – and helps to decrease puffiness.

Ayurvedic facial massage and scalp treatment
Traditional Indian Ayurvedic facial massage techniques incorporating “marma” points are combined with the application of hot steam towels to your hair, to aid the absorption of the hair oils. This is a very slow, stress relieving treatment that leaves you looking and feeling deeply relaxed. The treatment concludes with the application of an ayurvedic mask followed by mask removal, toning and moisturiser. Best suited to an evening appointment, as your hair will be soaked in essential oil infused coconut oil, and wrapped in hot towels during the massage - the oils are best left on overnight.
A deeply relaxing treatment which is perfect for winter evenings.
