Can the products used for a facial make all the difference? Pevonia natural products used in any facial did bring out the best in my skin. Facials for combination skin are quite a task as the therapist needs to deal with two skin types and I not only have combination skin but a pimple here and there as well. My very polite and trained therapist at the Natural Elements Spa checked my skin and recommended the Plantomer facial for deep cleansing resulting in soothed skin. The spa was serene and tranquil, with sunbeds overlooking a small garden, soft instrumental music and urns filled with water and flowers. Spending close to an hour and a half was rather pleasant in the comfortable environ. The facial started with the regular cleansing and toning with products with grapefruit, cucumber and sandalwood. Seaweed for the skin The focal point of the treatment was the seaweed mask mixed with propolis concentrate. The thick mask was cold on application and felt nice. This concentrate, mixed with the mask, is a natural ingredient collected by the bees from poplar trees and is rich in natural antibiotics and, though desensitising, is decongesting and healing. While the mask was on the face, the eyes were also taken care by another Pevonia product. The high-tech eye gel containing a new generation of liposomes releasing moisture throughout the day was massaged on to the eyelids, soothing the eyes and giving them the much-needed rest. This eye gel minimises wrinkles and maintains smooth eye contour. The 75-minute facial also has head, neck and shoulder massages thrown in. The therapist gave me the required pressure for the massage and kept telling me all about the products she was using. There are no machines and instruments used apart from a needle to remove black- and whiteheads. The post-facial care says no make-up and washing the face for the day. I was advised while I was sipping herbal ginger, honey and mint tea, again, made of natural ingredients. The facial made my dull and lifeless skin well looked after and I came out with glowing skin. Usually one can feel the difference in the skin for at least a month. However, I was advised frequent facials can be avoided with regular use of Pevonia products.
