Benefits of Facials

 Surprising Benefits of Facials



Stress Reduction - this is the best bit

During a facial pressure points around the face are gently massaged, resulting in reduced stress around your whole body. Physically and psychologically stress is reduced and there will be an uplift in your mood at the same time.

Cleanse the Skin - seems obvious but ...

By selecting the correct cleansers for your skin, a therapist will ensure that your skin is thoroughly cleansed. You can cleanse at home, but a professional is very much more effective.

Reduce the signs of stress - in a good way

Life is very stressful at the moment, and it is essential to protect your skin. Facial massages and facials help to increase the production of collagen under the skin, in turn helping your skin appear smoother.

Improve blood circulation - rosy glow here we come

Any massage will improve the circulation of blood in that area and the face is no different. Blood will bring oxygen and nutrients to the skin speeding up cell regeneration, thus improving skin quality.

Skin rejuvenation - fresher skin

Pollutants around us can make your skin appear dull and dry. Natural facials that do not rely on chemicals are good for this, helping to improve natural moisture retention by the skin.

Skin detoxification - give your skin a treat

Facials can detoxify your skin as most consist of ingredients rich in antioxidants. Alongside the essential oils and plant extracts these help clear toxins leaving glowing and radiant skin. It will also help elasticity of the skin, reduce those pesky wrinkles.

Reduce acne - for everyone

Acne can hit us at any age. Pollutants, diet, stress, allergies, and more, have made acne a more common problem. Sebum (skin’s natural oil) can by reduced and controlled by having facials and using products to help reduce effects of acne.

Skin exfoliation - regular and effective

Exfoliation clears dead skin cells away, allowing new skin cells to take their place. Nutrients are more easily absorbed by new skin cells, further benefiting the skin.

Tighten your skin - for a smoother complexion

As we age our skin loses its elasticity mainly because of the slower collagen production. Facials, with massage helps to continue to boost collagen production to help tighten and improve the appearance of your skin.

Reduce eyebags & dark circles - more wide awake

The skin around our eyes is thinner, and more sensitive and delicate compared to the rest of the face. Specialist products should be used in this area and cucumber is also a miracle worker for the eye area.

 How can we help?

You can do facials at home, but there is something incredibly special about a facial with a trained beauty therapist. 

A conversation with your therapist will highlight the areas that you would like us to concentrate on. 

By selecting the correct products to use based on your skin and what you would like to achieve, a therapist can make a serious difference to the appearance of your skin, whilst treating you to a relaxing experience.

Express Facial – a quick pick me up for your skin and mood.

Luxury Facial – a pampering and relaxing experience for fabulous results

Microdermabrasion Facial – highly effective results driven facial, for a glowing complexion

 If you want to do your own facials at home, choose the most natural products that you can. Extra chemicals in products don't help with detoxifying and can even dry your skin out more.

Relax and Recharge

 After a very different summer it is now September - how did that happen?!?!?

Children are heading back to school and college. Some of us are able to escape for a late break, either way we will get the chance to relax and recharge our batteries.

Do we deserve MeTime? Errrr - YES!!! We live in hectic, stressful times. We juggle children, work, housework, cooking and lots more and our bodies and brains need that downtime. 

If you don't set aside personal time you may find yourself overwhelmed and heading to burn out, and then you will be no use to anyone, let alone yourself.

That's why it's so important to take some time to recharge. To take some "Me Time" and I've compiled a little list of my favourite things to do.

  • Book some time in your diary - just for you! If you don't book it out you probably won't do it



  • Go for a walk. By yourself, without music. You will have no distractions and you can just enjoy some fresh air and feel rejuvenated after just a few minutes

  • Relax into a warm, beautifully fragranced bath. Lock the door so that no-one interrupts you!

  • Meditate. There are so many guided meditation tools out there now. Sit peacefully for 20-30 minutes and allow yourself to drift away.



  • Meet a friend. Socialisation is so important to us all. We need the human connection and a chat with a friend over coffee and cake will make you both feel great.


  • Read a book or magazine. Reading a great book is a great way to escape the humdrum of life and your imagination can be fired up.


  • Pamper yourself. If your shoulders feel tense, enjoy a gentle massage. Treat yourself to a manicure, pretty hands always make us feel good.
  • Stop and smell the roses! Enjoy nature around you (even when it's raining) 


What is stopping you?

So please, take some time to refill your cup, recharge your batteries and you will feel so much more able to help other people. If your cup is empty you can't fill anyone else's.

Book that time and date NOW!

You deserve it

As Ferris Bueller said "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while you could miss it"

Live Life. Love Life.
