Natural products
Skin absorbs what we put on it – think of HRT pads and nicotine plasters. So when the skin is being cleansed, it’s important to take care that the cleansing product is as natural as can be. Nothing can be more natural than plants, which is why for my facials I use plant-based creams, masks and oils. Wherever possible, I avoid products containing chemicals, alcohol, SLS, parabens and preservatives which are not natural. For my masks I use edible ingredients such as honey and yoghurt which have beneficial properties.
Pre-treatment consultation
Before the first treatment there will be a confidential consultation to discuss the general health of the client, skin type and condition.
Where possible, products will be chosen to suit the client’s skin-type and condition. In some instances, treatment may not be advisable because of certain medical conditions. (Please click on this link for more information about contra-indications).
The treatment
The treatment consists of:
• Cleansing the face and neck with a gentle plant-based cream
• Toning with aromatic waters (alcohol-free)
• Using a warm towels to open pores and to aid absorption of oils into the skin
• Application of a natural mask to draw out impurities
• Massage of the face, neck and scalp with plant oils selected to suit the client’s skin-type
