We begin with a warming ritual so you start the treatment feeling totally relaxed. Next up, a gentle lymphatic drainage massage. A subtle technique with major effect. A good lymphatic drainage massage does several things:
We use a mild, but very effective peeling with fruit acids that tackle any impurities without damaging your skin barrier. Fruit acids break down the bonds between dead skin cells. This makes it easier to remove these cells. Result? Instantly smoother, softer skin. The removal of this dull upper skin layer gives you a more beautiful glow, a fresher complexion.
This peeling has long-lasting effects too. It minimises enlarged pores, resulting in fewer impurities. This means your pores get clogged less easily, which in turn reduces blackheads and acne.
Another lasting effect: the active ingredients of this peeling boost cell renewal and collagen production, fades fine lines and improves your skin texture.
The actual peeling can feel a bit tingly or warm. Your skin will also look a little bit pink but this soon fades and you will instantly notice that your skin is smoother and more beautiful.
In the next step, we go deeper. A powerful collagen-rich serum is massaged deep into your skin using manual massage techniques and cold crystals. Not only is this massage wonderfully long, it is also super relaxing. The alternate use of warm hands and cool crystals during this massage feels lovely too.
Collagen helps strengthen your skin barrier, you will notice a difference straightaway. Massaging boosts blood flow in your skin, allowing collagen and other active ingredients to be absorbed well. The cold crystals help remove fluid buildup which reduces puffy under-eye bags. The cold also makes your blood vessels constrict, making your skin look firmer and minimising enlarged pores. Finally, the cold crystals also have a soothing and anti-inflammatory effect and they calm redness.
The pampering doesn’t end here! Next, you are treated to an extensive scalp massage with a scalp serum. We focus on specific pressure points on your head, allowing you to really let go of any tension.
Afterwards, your hair may look a little messy, but you will feel wonderfully Zen. Argan oil is rich in vitamin E and antioxidants that help hydrate and soothe your scalp, particularly if it is dry or sensitive.
Before starting your head massage, the beauty therapist will place a collagen sheet mask on your face. This feels refreshingly cool at first, before warming up a bit.
After this, the mask is removed and we massage any residue on your face into your skin. That way, every last bit of firming collagen can be absorbed well by your skin. We end the treatment with a cold finish with two ice globes, small glass balls that are filled with a liquid and are cooled, as well as the application of a day cream.
These ice globes also have several effects:
