As a trained holistic facialist for several decades, I am always honored to see spas and estheticians choose our products for their treatments. In addition to ingredient efficacy, I talk extensively about the transformative power of scents, but the power of touch is equally important and valuable.
Without further ado, here's our step-by-step signature aromatherapy botanical facial that we recommend for estheticians. This one is specifically tailored for normal, dry, and/or mature skin, although the vast of our products are suitable for all skin types. It's a nourishment boost!
- Step 1
Cleansing.
I love our Herbal Balancing Oil Cleanser: the perfect combination of a non-drying soap base and plant-based oils. Unlike a traditional “foaming” cleanser, this silky oil cleanser, once activated with water, produces a low-matte foam leaving you with glowing, clear skin. It removes makeup and impurities effortlessly and cleanses deeply while nourishing the skin. It's a soothing blend of oils and herbs that are naturally antibacterial, antifungal, and antimicrobial, it’s also extremely high in antioxidants, vitamins, and essential fatty acids.
The scent is a mild, floral aroma (zero artificial scent, all VOB products are free of synthetic components). We use 100% organic, wild-crafted, therapeutic-grade, ingredients. All scents come only from organic EOs and CO2 extracts.
Suitable for all skin types.
- Step 2
Toning.
One of my most versatile products, aka the Herb Infused Toner. Simple, yet highly effective: press a few pumps on an organic cotton pad, and it removes any cleanser thoroughly without drying the skin. Rich with anti-bacterial properties, and cooling and calming herbs, it helps restore a healthy pH to inflamed and unbalanced skin, leaving it feeling fresh, clean, and lightly hydrated. This beautiful toner has a beautifully distinctive bright red color from the organic hibiscus (a vitamin C powerhouse).
Scent: a soft herbal and delightful floral scent.
Suitable for all skin types
- Step 3
Exfoliating.
After this double cleansing, I'd follow up with our Chocolate Citrus Foaming Face Scrub which contains raw organic sugar combined with organic castile soap, plant oils, and carefully selected essential oils to bring nutrition back into the skin and brighten it. It gently exfoliates while leaving the skin hydrated.
Scent: a delectable, warm yet fresh "cocoa citrus" scent (an instant mood-lifter!).
Suitable for normal to dry skin (not the most fitting product for problematic skin).
- Step 4
Massaging.
A facial massage with our best-seller, the Vitally Face Treatment Oil.
I always start a facial massage by allowing the customers to take three deep inhalings of Vitality's scent as it contains aromatherapeutic benefits. Once done, the client feels noticeably relaxed and I can proceed with the massage treatment. It is a rich and deeply nourishing face oil that absorbs quickly and will revive dry mature skin. With stimulating, warm, and fresh notes of coffee bean, rose, jasmine, and orange, it will leave your skin radiant, soft, and supple. The scent alone transports the client to a serene realm.
Scent: like a fresh garden of summer flowers.
Suitable for normal to mature skin.
- Step 5
Masking.
Once I have performed my signature facial massage using my known and trusted healing modalities, I apply the Cacao Vanilla Beauty Mask. It is a decadently antioxidant-rich revitalizing mask that hydrates stimulates and gently exfoliates. It increases micro-circulation leaving your skin rosy and soft.
Scent: cacao – vanilla scent
Suitable for normal to dry/mature skin
- Step 6
Eye care.
After the mask Cacao Vanilla beauty mask is delicately washed off to reveal a luminous complexion, I apply the Essential Eye Treatment Oil to take extra care of the eye area. Potent with antioxidants, rich in silica, and great for water retention, it helps diminish fine lines, dark circles, and puffiness. It contains a powerhouse of antioxidants, collagen, and elastin-boosting herbs & oils including rosehip, pumpkin, and carrot seed oils, green coffee bean oil, marshmallow root, and fennel.
Scent: mild rosy coffee scent
Suitable for all skin.
- Step 7
Moisturizing.
I moisturize with either the Vitality Face Treatment Oil or my latest and most-requested release: Vitality Velvet Rich Face Creme. Years in the making to perfect a formula that is a gorgeous cream/balm hybrid, which, upon contact with the skin, melts delicately onto the face to create the most nourished and dewy canvas. Remarkable to revive dry and mature skin. With stimulating warm and fresh notes of coffee bean, rose, and orange blossom. It leaves your skin radiant soft and supple because it's rich in ingredients with brightening and plumping properties. Just a few dabs go a long way to leave the skin plump, bright, and nourished.
Scent: Subtle scents of coffee bean, rose and orange blossom
Suitable for normal to dry skin.
- Step 8
Misting all over!
To seal off this special holistic treatment, and leave the senses of my clients happy, I will generously finish off my facials on a high-vibrational note with the newly-released Flowers & Herb Garden Mist all over their face, hair, and body. The scent is utterly dreamy and enchanting thanks to a divine combination of rose, orange blossom, and jasmine. It's also a botanical powerhouse to boost your skin with hydration, packed with soothing, moisturizing, and anti-inflammatory ingredients (such as calendula, comfrey, and aloe vera), to restore balance.
Scent: soft enchanting floral and herbal notes
Suitable for all skin
