Aromatherapy treatments
Aromatherapy uses highly concentrated plant oils, called essential oils, added to the massage oil or lotion used in massages and facials.
The nostrils are attached to a part of the brain called the limbic system which controls emotions and influences the nervous system and hormones. When you inhale essential oil molecules, messages are transmitted to the limbic system and affect heart rate, stress level, blood pressure, breathing, memory, digestion, and the immune system. Essential oils are also absorbed through the skin.
Prior to your treatment, please:
- Do not eat a heavy meal before the massage.
- If it's your first time at the salon, please arrive at least 10 minutes early to complete the necessary forms. Otherwise, arrive 5 minutes early so you can have a few minutes to rest and relax before starting the massage.
Exotic Aromatherapy Frankincense Facial
£50.00 60 minutes Suitable for all skin types
Products used: Neals Yard.
This treatment is incredibly beneficial for your skin it’s like giving it a rare gift. The treatment is extremely nourishing and hydrating but would do wonders if your skin was tired stressed or dull. A wonderful rebalancing neck, shoulders and back massage starts off the treatment releasing the stress and tensions which have built up over time. A cleansing ritual then prepares the skin with a gentle exfoliation removing any dead skin cells which would inhibit the absorption of the frankincense. Using Frankincense oil, the face is gently massaged so that the frankincense is absorbed into the skin. This rejuvenating Omeg3 oil will intensely nourish and moisturise your skin for up to twelve hours.
The restorative powers of the frankincense throughout all the various parts of this treatment will have healing and rejuvenating effects upon your skin. This is the ultimate rejuvenating facial treatment and will leave your skin looking and feeling younger and more radiant for days with that glow you’ve always wanted.
We do not recommend this treatment if any of the following conditions applies:
- Cold sores.
- Skin infections
- Eye infections
What is frankincense and why is it so beneficial?
Long revered around the world for its incredibly rejuvenating properties, frankincense was once worth more than its weight in gold and is at the heart of our wonderful frankincense facial. Frankincense has been clinically proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, firm and tone the skin, boost the skin's plumpness and visibly reduce dark circles and puffiness while also hydrating the skin.
It contains one of the most important oils for improving skin tone and reducing signs of ageing. The frankincense used in our facial is a blend of Kenyan and Somali wild-harvested frankincense. Added to this are three peptides - these combined with the frankincense work together to increase skins firmness plumpness and hydration and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
