SKIN CARE MEETS SELF CARE!
the best investment in yourself
Our Skin
Skin is our largest organ and certainly the most visible one; most of us would agree that taking care of it properly is important. Your skin is as important as any other organ, so you must care for it.
Scientific research has proven that massages can significantly improve blood circulation, even on the face. This enhanced circulation ensures that cells receive more oxygen and essential nutrients, promoting their health and functionality. As a result, the skin's complexion becomes more radiant. Aging can cause our skin to lose its natural glow due to various factors. However, facials can help rejuvenate the skin's vitality. Skilled facialists use a combination of techniques, products, and technology to enhance the skin's texture, leaving it smoother and more refined.
Your standard facial is anything but basic! They typically include:
Cleansing to rinse used to remove makeup, dirt, other impurities.
Exfoliation to remove dead skin cells from the surface of your skin.
A skin mask personalized for your skin concerns.
Moisturizer to keep skin hydrated and supple.
Light massage of your face and neck.

Marma points are specific points on the body in Ayurvedic medicine that are believed to be vital junctions where the body's subtle energy channels converge. There are 107 marma points throughout the body, the junctions where flesh, veins, arteries, tendons, bones, and joints meet. Stimulating these points is thought to promote the flow of prana, or life force energy, throughout the body, which can help to balance the doshas (the three fundamental energies that govern our physical and mental processes). In addition, they promote overall health and well-being. Marma therapy is a healing modality that involves massaging or applying pressure to these points to stimulate energy flow and promote healing.
Collagen, a vital protein, is responsible for maintaining our skin's structure, strength, and elasticity. However, as we age, our skin's natural collagen production decreases, leading to the appearance of wrinkles, sagging, and other signs of aging. Understanding this process is crucial for maintaining healthy, youthful-looking skin.
It is essential to look after your face since you only have one. Regular facials, such as microdermabrasion or chemical peels, and massages, like lymphatic drainage or deep tissue, can help boost cell renewal and collagen production, resulting in more youthful looking skin.
Retinoids are the most promising agents for treating aging among various anti-aging agents. They penetrate the skin and target the extracellular matrix, including collagen and elastin fibers. Vitamin A and its derivatives, particularly retinol, have been found to slow down the aging process significantly. Amongst retinoids, tretinoin is the most potent and best-studied one. However, it is important to note that it can irritate the skin, so it is advisable to consult a medical doctor or a dermatologist before using it. The daily use of retinoids can prevent wrinkles; they penetrate the skin and work on the extracellular matrix—the collagen and elastin fibers.”

Aroma Breathing
This Signature Technique is performed at the beginning of the facial, where an Aromatherapist Oil is applied to the esthetician’s hands. Then, the hands are cupped over the client’s nose, and the client is told to take three deep breaths. This technique encourages the client to relax their mind and body completely.
