Aromatherapy facial involves:

- A detailed facial skin examination in order to choose appropriate skin care preparations, essential and carrier oils and other natural ingredients. All products used in a facial such as cleanser, masks, toner, serum and creams are freshly made according to your skin needs.
- A facial treatment. Additionally, I will help you understand how to care for your skin naturally from the inside out. I will work with you to understand underlying factors that may be contributing to any skin issues you may have. You will learn simple rituals to follow in your daily life to restore healthy skin and general wellbeing.
“While normal cosmetics treatment is symptom – oriented and attempts to change the skin in one way or another, the goal of essential oil treatment is always the restoration of balance. Aromatherapy facial with essential oils brings the metabolic functions back into balance.”
