Holistic Facials
Luxury Holistic Face Treatment
It is now widely recognised that our skin absorbs many of the ingredients included in cosmetics. On 
one hand this is good, because it means our skin can be nourished with some wonderful natural ingredients but on the other hand the news is bad, because many skin care products contain harmful chemical ingredients we would never be allowed to take orally, but are still absorbed into the blood stream through our skin. It is estimated that the average woman applies 175 different chemicals to her body in the form of cosmetics every day and will eat two pounds of lipstick in her lifetime! The majority of these products contain a mind-boggling cocktail of industrially produced synthetic chemicals, which can cause a range of conditions from skin allergies to more serious medical conditions.
If you would like your skin to feel soft and retain its youthful look, but suffer from a dry or oily complexion. Book a few treatments now! There is an oil and flower water suitable for all skin types. None of the products contain CHEMICALS
Bring to mind a person you know, you most likely visualise their face. It is estimated that 95% of people evaluate another person by their face. Our faces tell a story about us – our lifestyle, diets, emotions, and personality. Holding stress, anxiety, negative emotions, having poor diet or lack of exercise can alter a persons appearance dramatically.
Natural products are selected to suit individual skin types and are hugely beneficial in achieving a smooth, revitalised complexion. A Natural Facial treatment will leave with a vibrant, radiant appearance.
