We caught up with Eden Hall Day Spa to find out a little more about one of their signature treatments – their Soothing Facial!

What exactly is the Soothing Facial?

This 55-minute facial begins with a cleansing balm using soft brushes to gently remove any impurities from the skin. The skin is gently exfoliated and then cleansed again with warm towels before a mud mask is applied to remineralise, nourish and soften the skin.  Your skin will then experience a specialized Aromatherapy Associates pressure point and drainage massage using cool stones to reduce high colour, lift and firm the skin. A luxurious shoulder massage is carried out by your therapist whilst a second mask soothes your skin.  An application of skin soothing serum and a repairing moisturiser completes the treatment.

Where does it come from?

Aromatherapy Associates is a UK based company with over 30 years of experience in the therapeutic benefits of essential oils which can be traced back to the very beginnings of modern aromatherapy.

Is there anything you do to enhance the effectiveness of the treatment?
