“Avabhashini, the outer most skin layer reflects the aura of any individual”
Are you looking for a more holistic way to enhance your beauty?
Background
​
Ayurveda explains that our skin consists of seven layers, each with unique roles. The top layer, Avabhashini, affects complexion, reflecting inner health. Balancing the doshas with personalised diets, lifestyle advice, and occasionally herbal preparations, keep all skin layers healthy.
​
Modern beauty primarily emphasises topical chemical formulas, often overlooking the crucial role of healthy digestion and its direct impact on skin health and appearance—a foundational focus in Ayurveda.
​
Along with supporting our digestion, for optimal skin health, daily facial massage helps to stimulate blood flow and lymphatic drainage enhancing detoxification of all skin layers. By exercising and training the facial muscles we also aid the appearance of facial contour, skin tone and texture.
​
​Integrating facial massage into your skincare routine provides both immediate and long-term benefits, contributing to healthier, more vibrant skin.​​​​​

Facial procedure
​
Skin Consultation: Mandatory procedure. Identify your goals and assess any contraindications to ensure optimal outcomes. We'll determine your dosha imbalance, enabling me to customise herbal preparations for the treatment.
Cleansing: Preparation of 2 herbs specific for you. Combined into a cotton pouch, soaked in water and then a gel like formula applied to face.
Oil massage: Working from the neck up, a specialised oil will be applied stimulating all muscles and lymphatic drainage using the traditional Ayurvedic techniques. Followed by Marma Point activation releasing stagnant energy.
​Steam: Specific leaves or essential oils will be steamed and directed towards your face. This increases blood flow, pushing toxins out through the sweat glands.
Scrub: Mild exfoliation, removing toxins, stimulating circulation and healing. A combination of 4/5 herbs from common herbs such as Tumeric or Red sandalwood depending on the skin type.
Mask: A special pack with a combination of herbs will begin the skins rejuvenation process. Sit back and relax, allow these herbs to work their magic.
​Toner: To balance the acid mantle layer, protecting the pores so that the bacteria cannot enter. I will use products such as aloe vera or cucumber dependent on your skin type.
