A gentle yet stimulating massage of the face, neck and décolletage to rejuvenate the skin and soften linesWhat is Anti-Ageing & Holistic Facial Massage?Anti-Ageing & Holistic Facial Massage is a sequence of massage strokes, which actively relax the muscles of the face, neck and décolletage (upper chest area). It lifts and tones the whole of this area giving a rejuvenated appearance. Lines are noticeably softened and the skin regains its suppleness and elasticity usually after just one treatment. The treatment combines an effective mix of stroking, circling, brushing, scissoring, tapping and acupressure point movements to stimulate the circulation, bring oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells, relax tension in the muscles and remove waste products. The result is improved skin tone and softness, reduced sagginess and puffiness and a general glow to the complexion. The treatment will also leave you feel completely relaxed and your body’s energy flow will be improved giving you a sense of well-being. The Products UsedThe anti-ageing benefits of the treatment are also to be found in the aromatherapy oils chosen for their regenerative properties and ability to hydrate the skin. Other products used during this treatment include a cleanser, toner, moisturiser, and a variety of face masks from the ‘Naturally’ Range from Penny Price Aromatherapy – one of the UK’s leading Aromatherapy companies. They have been scientifically developed from naturally pure ingredients and have been tested and proven to reduce signs of ageing and sensitivity. They are free of parabens, lanolin, mineral oil, synthetic perfume and animal products. The range suits the most sensitive of skins and will actively help conditions such as eczema, dermatitis and rosacea. “Homemade” masks may also be used, making use of natural ingredients such as milk, lemon, sugar and cornflower. Milk, lemon and sugar are full of gentle AHA’s which are tiny acids that help clean, regenerate and improve the skin. Cornflower is very drawing on the skin and is used to open pores and reduce oiliness. The TreatmentThe treatment starts with a thorough cleanse to the face using an essential oil based cleanser. This is massaged onto to the face and neck using a variety of strokes, which start to stimulate the cells as well as fully cleansing the face. Masks may then be applied and left for up to five minutes. A massage with the rejuvenating and nourishing essential oil follows. The décolletage is treated first and the massage moves upwards to the neck and face. All the strokes are applied in an upwards direction to give lift to the area and to ensure the delicate skin is not dragged. More masks may follow before the skin is treated by a “flower water” based toner before a wonderful moisturiser finishes the facial. Whilst the masks are left on. a head massage and/or Reiki may be included. This is a completely relaxing and therapeutic treatment, which will have your skin glowing and rejuvenated through stimulating massage and the use of completely natural products. Number of Treatments NeededAlthough improvement should be seen from the first treatment, a number of treatments are recommended to get the optimum results and to encourage the skin to lift and tone to its maximum effect. The optimum number suggested by the experts is ten treatments. However as this is beyond many people’s time and budget allocation, a course of five – taken at weekly intervals – is suggested.
