Ayurvedic Deluxe Royal Facial
Ayurvedic Facial Massage treats the lymph through the skin, which then prevents an imbalance from arising in the blood stream and stimulates lymphatic drainage from the skin into the circulatory system of the body. If the skin gets dry and toxic from the environment and the lymph becomes congested, the skin will be rendered non-functional. These impurities slotted for lymph and skin removal will be shunted into the muscles, joints and fat cells, creating problems there, and further age the texture of the skin.
The facial includes: cleansing, toning, exfoliation, custom face mask, manual massage, kansa and marma massage. Relax and enjoy warm steamed towels, energy healing and aromatherapy shoulder, neck and scalp massage.
