Hot Thai Stem Facial

In this day and age, mental and emotional stress abounds leading to all kinds of feelings of unease. We are all kind people, but sometimes we don’t feel like we are and need a boost to remind us of our inate goodness.

I have found Hot Thai Stem Facials makes people feel absolutely wonderful and beautiful and kind. The treatment also helps combat the blues that we all get from time to time living in this climate of ours. Facials using Thai Stems are also very effective for

  • skincare (dry, medium, oily) skin types
  • allieviating Eye Strain (especially from a lot of computer usage)
  • relaxing jaw pain and TMJ
  • allieviating Tension Headaches
  • allieviating Sinus Congestion

The facial features massaging the face, head, neck, and shoulders using pressure points and other techniques.

Meanwhile the stems are heated to be rolled on to the skin. The heat from the stems relax and rejuvenate from the skin to the soul.

The facial includes a light massage for the hands and feet to leave you feeling newly born.

What are the stem ingredients?

There are three kinds of stems to choose from

  • Coconut – pure, dried coconut. These stems are ideal for dry skin.
  • Sesame Seed – Black Sesame Seed and Pandanis Leaves (great for exfoliation and stimulating collagen production). These stems are ideal for mature and sensitive skin.
  • White Clay – Purified Thai White Clay, Borneol, Cinnamomum camphora, Cryptelepis buchanani Roem & shult, Curcuma long, Curcuma zeodoaria Rose, Curcuma aromtica Salisb. These stems are ideal for acne treatment or deep cleansing.

How to Prepare & What to Expect

Arrive to your appointment with a freshly cleansed face (no makeup). If this is not possible, arrive 5 minutes early bringing your cleanser, toner and moisturiser. You may bring your make-up kit to apply fresh make-up after your facial if you like.

To recieve the treatment, you will need to remove your shirt and tuck bra straps under your arms.

You will be draped under a sheet and blanket. The treatment takes 45 minutes to complete.
