Conventional treatments for acne can be very harsh, often drying the skin out in an attempt to reduce oil production. This often results in dry flaky skin that is still oily and shiny, as the body produces even more sebum  in an attempt to replace what has been stripped away.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOften the skin barrier function has been compromised by harsh and sensitising chemicals that have disrupted the the outer lipid layer and also the beneficial microflora, leaving the skin inflamed, red and open to colonisation by undesirable bacteria.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn this facial I treat the skin with care and compassion, warm herbal compresses prepare the skin for gentle yet thorough cleansing followed by very gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin cells but maintain the integrity of the acid mantle to support healthy skin barrier function.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUsing a rhythmical massage technique, movement of lymph is first stimulated within the entire body to prepare and open lymph pathways, before subtle rolling, pumping and wave-like movements gently stimulate the lymph vessels of the face, supporting and encouraging the efficient removal of cellular waste, enhancing circulation and creating space for fresh nutrient delivery and tissue strengthening.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing preparations made with medicinal herbal plants with a long history of calming inflammation and supporting skin healing, this treatment will help the skin to regulate, heal and restore balance. Organic Chamomile, passionflower, turmeric and lavender support healthy skin functioning without stripping the natural oils, drying, or removing the beneficial microflora colonies on the skin surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlease note extractions are never included, I believe these to be too forceful and traumatic for the delicate skin and tissues of the face. If skin congestion is a concern I recommend weekly facial treatments that include my lymphatic stimulation to encourage movement of accumulated waste beneath the skin that can lead to cysts, blackheads and papules on the surface. This achieves a deeper, continuing cleansing for long term benefit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor acne skins I recommend having a course of 6 treatments. Lymphatic stimulation effectively encourages the removal of accumulated waste and toxins within the tissues that cause congestion and contribute to the development of spots and blackheads. Weekly appointments support the re-establishment of proper lymph function to effectively reduce congestion from returning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter a short regular course, monthly to two monthly treatments with home care products and techniques focusing on lymphatic support are recommended to support continued ease of waste removal and prevent congestion from returning.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI offer a reduced rate for those wishing to have a course of treatments.
