I am really not a hippy ... However I am going to talk about the power of massage in association with crystals & natural stones - bring on the positive vibes!
I get a real thrill out of aesthetic based treatments, be it a strong glycolic peel or an electrical toning facial, however I am also a firm believer in Mother Nature and skincare is changing. We want to connect with our inner selves, practice ‘mindfulness’ and have moments of complete zen during our treatments whilst getting the same effect from our skincare and we are increasingly aware of the effects of irrelevant harsh petrochemicals, parabens and harmful ingredients in our skincare.
I will address specific products in a separate post, however today I am addressing the natural tools and techniques used in skincare that have been used in traditional Chinese medicinal culture for centuries and they are having a bit of a moment with good reason for the simple, effective and visible effects they have. Rose quartz is famously known as the symbol of love amongst crystal healers and it has been used for centuries in skincare thanks to it's incredible healing properties, aiding in repairing and decongesting complexions, restoring positive energy and supposedly helping with healthy heart function.
Whilst I can't promise a healthy heart following my Ultimate Luxury Rose Quartz facial, I can promise a multitude of other benefits. I use The Organic Pharmacy products as they are what I consider to be the most prestigious and effective products in organic and natural luxury skincare and I include a particular massage technique called Gua Sha with the help from a perfectly cut Rose quartz crystal. Combining this with the Gua Sha massage, we create a powerful dynamic of helping with lymphatic drainage, facial contouring, reduced puffiness, increased circulation, increased collagen production & stress relief in facial muscles & neck.
Many of us can be sceptical about these things, however I am very open minded and the picture above is of myself and my daughter in St Antonin Noble Val in Southern France, we were choosing a Rose Quartz at the local market and a Howlite for her (she is only 12 months old). Howlite is a dominant guardian stone and is said to help calm the mind and aid sleep. At this point I was desperate for any help I could get, willing to try absolutely anything after a year of sleepless nights with her. The lady said to pop it under her cot and et voila - she genuinely started sleeping through - perhaps it was just coincidental timing however it will stay under her bed for many years to come! Is there a crystal for fussy eaters?!
I’m certainly not the only one working with these beautiful stones and massage techniques. The renowned Studio Britta in New York has taken NYC by storm and every busy woman knows where to go to get some seriously green facial timeout with maximum results, with fans such as Karlie Kloss and Gywenth Paltrow behind the trusted Gua Sha techniques.
So it’s time to switch off, detox your skin and rejuvenate your face with my Ultimate luxury Rose Quartz Facial - not forgetting you get a 20% discount off your first booking.
P.s Now is the time to book - confused winter skin needs all the help it can get...
