Mukhabhyanga:Traditional Ayurvedic Face Lift Massage

 

The Ayurvedic Natural Facelift Massage treatment is a super way to keep wrinkles at bay!
It is also a revitalising and nourishing treeatment that effectively relaxes the mind and soul.
 
As you relax, we refresh the skin with natural, rose water containing anti-ageing properties.  Warm herb-infused oil, beneficial for people of all body types, is applied to the whole face.  
We focus the massage on the energy or 'marma' points on the face and head with the aim of bring them back into balance.  Marma points are similar to the pressure points used in acupuncture and reflexology. 
A detoxifying stroke helps to release blocked energy.  This is followed with a nourishing stroke that brings about positive energy or 'Prana'.  
Having massaged the whole face, ears, head the client is deeply relaxed and rests while hot towels are applied to cleanse the skin by steaming any excess oil and toxins off the skin's surface.
This treatment results in promoting the regeneration of healthy, younger looking skin as it
- relaxes facial muscles
- stimulates the micro-circulation
- activates the natural metabolism of the skin
- the oil is very nourishing and moisturising and the massage encourages the moisture to be retained by the skin
The treatment brings about the most effective anti-ageing results if carried out once a week for 6 weeks, however after one treatment the skin is left glowing.  It is suitable for both men and women and is safe during pregnancy (the oil used will be adapted for pre-natal clients).  Please note that it's best to book in for this treatment when you don't mind a little oil in your hair.
