Ayurvedic Facial Gift Voucher
AYURVEDIC FACIALS offer an authentic and rejuvenating experience tailored to your skin type.
Each facial begins with a deep cleansing of the face and neck, followed by a scrub with an ayurvedic herbal paste to exfoliate the skin.
Vital marma points on the face and neck will be massaged with a dosha specific oil to increase energy flow, remove blockages and help to relax facial muscles for a youthful appearance.
Herbal infused steam with organic essential oils will be applied to open the pores for best absorption of the ayurvedic face pack and medicated oils.
Our Rose facial with its toning and anti-aging effect is the perfect choice for sensitive and dry skin, while the Navara facial is particularily effective for acne, hyperpigmentation and any skin discolourations.
During the Navara facial rice filled poultices are applied and gently massaged on face and neck.
All our ayurvedic products are certified organic and freshly made to achieve best results on the skin.
In Ayurveda, skin types are classified based on the three doshas Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
Vata skin is typically dry, rough and thin. It may be prone to flakiness and shows signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles more quickly. Hydrating oils and creams, gentle exfoliation and warm, nourishing foods help balance a typical Vata skin.
Pitta skin is usually sensitive, warm and has a tendency towards oiliness and breakouts. It often has a reddish or flushed appearance and can be prone to conditions like rashes, acne and inflammation. Cooling and soothing products, along with a diet rich in cooling foods like cucumber and mint, can help balance a typical Pitta skin.
Kapha skin is usually thick, oily and smooth. It can have a healthy glow but may be prone to clogged pores and acne due to excess oil production and sluggishness. Light, clarifying skin care products and a diet that includes bitter and astringent foods like apples and quinoa can help balance a typical Kapha skin.
Understanding your skin type according to ayurvedic doshas guides the selection of optimal skincare products as well as making personal lifestyle and diet choices for maintaining a healthy glow.
At our Ayurveda New Zealand clinic in Grey Lynn, an experienced and qualified therapist will start with a thorough assessment of your skin prior to the treatment to determine your dosha specific skin type and help select the most suitable ayurvedic facial treatment plan.
