The Exclusive
Silvermoon Signature Eastern Facial Massage
Forget Botox - Forget Painful Surgery - this Facial Massage is the natural and relaxing way to have a facelift.
Our face is the 'front' that we present to the world, and it can only too clearly show all the tensions and stress in our lives. When we're tired, unhappy, rundown, stressed or ill it shows in our face.
The benefits of our Exclusive Silvermoon Signature Eastern Facial Massage are:
It improves skin suppleness
It reduces and releases any muscle tension in the jaw and face
It reduces expression lines and wrinkles
It stimulates rejuvenation
It helps maintain a fresh youthful appearance
Our Exclusive Silvermoon Signature Eastern Facial Massage, carried out in our relaxing therapy room at The Retreat in Southampton, is soothing and relaxing, and the results can be amazing. Wrinkles seem reduced and the skin appears rejuvenated, giving a much sought after 'instant face lift' without painful and invasive surgery, after four (4) weeks of treatment and providing that you come once a month for a 'top up'.
There are over 90 muscles in the face and just like other muscles in the body, it's important that they are used on a daily basis to keep them mobile and toned. Silvermoon's Signature Eastern Facial Massage at The Retreat, Southampton provides a simple technique for keeping face muscles mobile, helping to slow down the aging process and reduce wrinkles.
This massage also includes a cleanse and a tone using products designed for your specific skin type. The Exclusive Silvermoon Signature Eastern Facial Massage is then performed using a rich, indulgent cream infused with essential oils to enhance your relaxation further, leaving your face, and you, looking and feeling relaxed, soft and pampered.

Hopi Ear Candling
Also known as Thermo Auricular Therapy. The candles are thin hollow linen tubes. Each candle is hand made and often incorporate honey, eucalyptus, pine, sage, St Johns Wort or chamomile essential oils.
The hollow candle works like a chimney. The centre of the ear canal is a column of rising air, which heats when the candle is lit, you will feel no heat at all. As the air within the candle rises it creates a gentle suction, which can help to loosen any compacted earwax. Compacted earwax is loosened but not drawn out. Any loosened earwax will come out over the days that follow the treatment.
Ingredients contained within the candle make the air inside the candle heavier. This air spirals down into the ear canal, creating a wave of gentle pressure massaging the eardrum. The candle has a pressure balancing effect in the upper respiratory tract as our ears, nose and throat are all connected.
Hopi Ear Candling can help to relieve:
Balance any inner ear problems
Excess or compounded ear wax
Tinnitus
Sore throats
Hearing difficulties
Problems suffered with ears during flights
Hay fever
Sinus problems
Cold, flu and sore throats
Stress
Migraines and Headaches
Ear Candling has also been known to help with the headache of hangovers.
The treatment is finished off with a face and sinus massage.
Many clients find the treatment relaxing. As well as the relieved feeling that comes from reduced pressure in the ears and sinuses, clients may experience a general calming effect.
I only use Biosun Earcandles.
First appointment 1 hr. Subsequent appointments - 45mins - or thereabouts (times depend on how long the candle takes to burn down)
The Biosun Essential Oil Hopi Earcandles are certified as medical products 11a according to European Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC
