Our skin is our largest organ, performing various functions, including protecting us from invasion by foreign substances and serving as the transfer point for the release of toxins from our bodies.  The skin provides an honest mirror of our inner health and well-being.  It is thus especially important to use only natural gentle ingredients on our skin whenever possible.  Application to the skin of fresh, natural products such as essential oils, plant waters (also called ‘hydrosols’) and cold pressed unscented oils helps maintain a youthful, glowing complexion.  Essential oils and hydrosols are the fragrant liquids that are distilled from different plant parts, such as flower petals, herb laves and tree barks, and are fundamental components of any solid, natural skin care regime.  Cold pressed unscented oils are extracted from various fruits, nuts and seeds, and include olive oil, sweet almond oil, avocado oil and jojoba oil.  Used in tandem, essential oils, hydrosols and cold pressed oils work together to soothe and nourish the skin, encouraging a healthful, radiant complexion.

Facials are deep skin treatments that cleanse, rehydrate and rejuvenate the skin, apart from minimizing skin blemishes, acne, dry skin and, of course, wrinkles.  Facials vary depending on your skin type, the kind of treatment you’ve chosen, the products used and the person’s age.

All skin types may benefit from a regular facial treatment.  Facials involve a cleansing procedure, along with a relaxing massage and the application of a face mask.  What they help to do is remove the dead, dull outer layer of cells that make up the skin’s surface or epidermus along with pollutants.  The massage, which is an important part of a facial, helps blood circulation, which in turn aids lymphatic drainage (the removal of toxins and waste from the body).  A massage also relaxes the facial muscles and is very important in delaying the onset of wrinkles.  The application of a face mask helps tone and clarify the skin and can be hand blended to suit your individual skin type.

There are six main skin types:     Normal                    Combination
                                              Dry/Sensitive            De-hydrated
                                              Greasy                     Mature

Continental Facial
This is pure luxury when it comes to facial treatments.  The ‘Continental’ starts with a first cleanse, followed by a deep cleanse.  After the skin has been analysed, the facial area is fully exfoliated to remove a layer of dead skin cells.  This will be followed by a relaxing and rejuvenating décolleté massage using a blend of essential oils.  This wonderful treatment is finished off with a prescription facial mask, hand blended, to suit your individual skin type and completed with a moisturiser.  This treatment is suitable for both ladies and gentlemen.
