The Ayurvedic facial’s aim is to relax the mind while cleansing, nourishing and toning the skin. The goal is to create a deep experience of calm in both mind and body that radiates from the face. Ayurveda never intended a facial to be merely cosmetic-but rather transformational and permanent. After the hour-long sequence of stream, cleansers, Marma therapy and Wrinkle therapy, the final tonifying mask is applied. During this period a Marma therapy foot massage is performed that promises to relax every remaining cell in the body. Once the mask is removed and the skin is moisturized, an Ayurvedic medicine is applied as a beautifying eyeliner to nourish, heal and strengthen the eyes. This recipe was used by queens to make their eyes look larger than life, almond shaped and hold a beauty reserved only for the royalty. The medicinal effects of this eye treatment have been utilized for thousands of years as part of Ayurvedic medicine. |
