Aromatherapy Facial Rejuvenation Treatment

Here's what you'll need

These quantities will make enough for 4 or 5 treatments. 

How to make the blend

Mix together the vegetable oils and essential oils and pour them into the bottle.

Label the blend with the ingredients, the best before date (it will last 3 months when stored correctly) the cautions (listed below) and the storage instructions (keep in a dark place like a drawer or press with the lid tightly closed) 

That's it.......

Cautions to using the blend

The blend should not be used by anyone who will be using a sunbed or going out in bright sunlight within 48 hours. Sweet Almond oil should not be used if the client or therapist has a nut allergy.

Essential oils should not be taken internally or allowed to get into the eyes.  

Why these ingredients?

Avocado oil is rich in fatty acids and Vitamins A,D and E which are vital for skin health. It also contains potassium, which is known as the "Youth Mineral"

It's a beautiful, rich, penetrating oil which is deeply moisturising and a fabulous anti oxidant. Avocado oil significantly increases collagen and elastin and can even help to reduce age spots and heal sun damage and scars.

Sweet Almond oil is a light oil while avocado which is very thick, so combining the two makes the blend more easily absorbed and easier to work with. Sweet Almond oil also very moisturising and anti inflammatory.

Grapefruit essential oil I include Grapefruit because it gives the blend a lift and the other essential oils, although beautiful, have a heavy aroma. If this makes no sense, try smelling the outer essentials without Grapefruit, then with it. 

Neroli is a beautiful floral oil which is described as cytophylactic, which means it speeds up the growth of skin cells, just what we need as our skin ages.

Patchouli is another cytophylactic oil, fabulous for ageing skin.

Frankincense prevents and even reduces fine lines and wrinkles. 

Each of the essential oils is wonderful for stress and anxiety, so using them in a treatment not only benefits the skin but makes the whole experience very relaxing.

The facial treatment uses light strokes. It's best to work upward and outward.

1. Place a little of the aromatherapy facial rejuvenation blend on your fingertips. Add more as you need to but never a lot at one time.
2. Effleurage (stroke) from the jaw to the temples using the flat of your hands.
3.  With your fingertips, perform light circles across the cheek working from the centre of the face to the ears. Do this in 3 stages, on the lower, middle and upper cheeks. 
4.  Directly below the centre of the lower lip and directly above the centre of the upper lip are points which help to increase collagen and elastin. Tap on each of these for about 10 seconds.
5. With your index fingers between the centre of the nose and the upper lip, slide to the edge of the lips. This gently stretches the skin, so it's beneficial for wrinkles which are common in this area. Repeat 4 times.
6. Place the side of your right index finger against the right side of the nose, draw your hand up the side of the nose and across to the left side of the forehead, beside the "frown lines". Repeat with the left hand at the left side of the nose and bring it to the right side of the forehead, beside the "frown lines" Repeat 4 times working with alternate hands.
7. With thumbs or index fingers, slide over the "frown lines" at the top of the nose working in an upward motion. Continue working with alternate hands 6 times. 
8. With flat of hands stroke across the forehead, working from left to right with the right hand, then right to left with the left hand. repeat using alternate hands 6 times.
9. Place your hands together in a prayer position below the chin then slide them up the cheekbones to the temples. Repeat 3 times.
10. Tapotement.  Lightly tap with the fingers from the jaw to the forehead. Bring your fingers back to the jaw and repeat. This stroke is always upward from the jaw to the forehead, never in the opposite direction. Repeat twice.
11. Effleurage from the jaw to the temples using the flat of your hands.

Spreading The Word

The Aromatherapy Facial Rejuvenation Treatment is a great way to upgrade any other treatment, and upgrades are a great way to help you stand out from other therapists in your area.

1.  Send texts and/or emails to your clients. You'll need their permission first. If you're unsure about permission and GDPR, check out my quick guide about understanding GDPR. 
2.  Take short videos, ideally around a minute long, of you giving a treatment, preparing the blend or talking about how the oils reduce fine lines and wrinkles, increase collagen and elastin. Share the videos on your website, social media etc.
3.  Ask your clients to leave reviews for you on Facebook and Google My Business and if you can share the testimonials on your website, in your newsletters etc.
