At the start of a new year, after the indulgent festive season, our attention shifts onto diets, fitness and detoxing; setting on a mission to create new and improved version of ourselves for the forthcoming year. It’s important to remember, however, that detoxing our body isn’t just about eating specific food or supplements, but encouraging our body to discard the stored toxins for improved immune health. A popular detox treatment is Lymphatic drainage; a type of therapeutic massage treatment that involves light pressure and long, gentle, rhythmic strokes to increase the flow of lymph and reduce toxins in the body. Lymphatic drainage isn’t just a type of massage for the body, it can be incorporated into general facial treatments to revitalise your skin on a deeper level than topical treatments can reach; creating muscle movement, and clearing the lymph to eliminate toxins from the any lymph nodes on the face; under your chin, near your clavicle, and behind your ears. Studies of recent years have shown that lymphatic drainage can also have aesthetics benefits; concluding that it has firming properties while also improving skin appearance. It’s a soothing and relaxing massage using gentle but effective brushing motions to reduce swelling in the eye and neck area, as well as the rest of the face We can incorporate lymphatic drainage massage into most Environ Facials . If you would like to find out more about this treatment, and any other elements of the facials we provide, please don’t hesitate to get in touch . Thanks, Agnes
