Q. I have read about ‘DIY’ facial kits that you can buy. Are they any good and will they replace a facial?

A.
1. Mmmm massage....

The feedback that I gain from my clients is that aside from having their ‘blackheads’ squeezed massage is the part of a facial that they find the most worthwhile.

Let’s remind ourselves of the benefits of massage to our skin:

• It increases blood circulation. This aids in the transportation of Oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells to ensure that your skin remains in good health and has what it needs to function efficiently, which is one of the reasons that your diet plays an integral role in maintaining skin health.

• It aids in the elimination of toxins. The skin is an organ of elimination and massage will speed up this process by increasing the flow of Lymph. This fluid carries the waste around our bodies and unlike the blood circulatory system does not have the assistance of a heart to pump it round, so relies on us to move or your therapist to massage it around the body.


• Firming and toning for the skin and muscles of the face and neck. I use a fusion of massage techniques in my bespoke facial treatments one of which can help to life and tone your skin and give you that, as one of my clients said, ‘holiday glow’.

• Relaxation. An opportunity to relax and improve your wellbeing. De stressing the body.


There are no skilled massage hands in your DIY kit.
