Why Facials?

Skin is the major organ of the body; it is responsible for defending internal organs from invading microorganisms. It is a sense organ which responds to touch, climate and environment. The messages the skin receives pattern and form our inner thoughts and physiological responses. Correct skin care is a vital part of maintaining and sustaining balance and well being.

Essential oils- essence of the plant “it’s heart and soul”
Many of the cosmetic products on the market today are oil based. These products are made of unhealthy oils such as mineral oil i.e. baby oil. Mineral oil like many toxic substances simply sits on your skin not allowing your skin to breathe or for nutrients to penetrate. Essential oils on the other hand have little to no fatty substance. When applied to skin they penetrate deep below the surface of the skin to help rebuild and repair damaged skin.

Common Essential Oils
Lavender - Is the most versatile of oils. It has the ability to refresh and cleanse the air you breathe. It is regenerative and healing; it can be used on cuts, burns and many other superficial ailments. Lavender is also an anti-depressant, if inhaled it can help relieve stress, calm nerves and anxiety.

Patchouli - When inhaled can be used as a nerve sedative and anti depressant. If applied externally it helps to treat dry dehydrated skin.

Jojoba oil - Common carrier oil for essential oil blends. It aids in dissolving sebum in congested follicles.

Ingredient’s to avoid in skin care
Mineral oil (i.e. baby oil) - derived from petroleum it leaves a residue on skin making it difficult for skin to breath and can cause acne breakouts and irritation even on the most resilient of skin.

Lanolin - Derived from sheep’s wool. It is used as a base in many cosmetic products from skin care to makeup etc. It can cause breakouts and irritation especially on the most sensitive of skins.
