Next an intensive facial massage stimulates circulation, reduces tension that cause fine lines, and flushes the lymphatic system of toxins. A plant stem cell based serum of your choice is applied (Sea Minerals to tone, Vitamin C to brighten, Soothing Aloe Vera to hydrate, or a Calming Serum for irritated skin) beneath a mask to compliment the treatment while shoulders, neck, hands and feet enjoy some pampering. The session ends with a light moisturizer, as you float away radiant and beautiful! |
