Hand made Face Oils and Balms

–
 

Amanda has had a passion for holistic skincare for as long as she can remember, and has been a facialist for over 25 years. Through her work at some of London's top salons as well as her own boutique, Amanda has learnt how to listen to the skins' needs and how to source, and apply, the best ingredients to feed and nourish the skin. All of the products Amanda uses in her facial are formulated by hand in her studio in Vermont's Green Mountains using the whole plant infusion method. When it comes to looking after your skin, Amanda believes that less is more; the same way we need to feed our bodies with nutrient rich food, our skin needs the same to look and feel healthy and youthful. The addition of all-natural, fresh, organic cleansers and oils to her treatments add a special energy and life to her Signature Facials, giving her clients a completely different facial experience. The combination of pressure points and lymphatic drainage in the facial to smooth fine lines and brighten the complexion, and a Reiki-influenced unique healing technique that utilizes energy from the earth and atmosphere, provides a total mind-body experience that instantly distresses and rejuvenates. Clients notice smoother, plumper skin, fewer lines, reduced stress levels and increased confidence and energy.
