NATURE´S GIFTS REVIVAL
This treatment offers the ultimate Mediterranean experience through the combination of two brilliant natural ingredients – olive oil and basil. Designed to give your skin the best the Mediterranean has to offer.
Olive oil, which is the key ingredient of the treatment, is rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and natural fatty acids. It is an excellent fighter against skin aging, it reduces inflammation, stimulates the renewal of skin cells and creates collagen, which will result in smooth and shiny skin.
In combination with olive oil, basil acts as a natural antiseptic and has antibacterial properties. The smell of basil in the treatment helps to reduce stress and anxiety, while gentle massage movements during skin scrub relieve tension and bring a feeling of vitality.
Gentle massage with olive oil is followed by skin scrub that removes dead cells and stimulates skin renewal. Exfoliation is done with the addition of freshly ground basil, which further enhances the nourishing effect. The gentle massaging movements during exfoliation, along with the smell of basil, help to relax and reduce stress. As the scrub is left to take effect, the client's scalp is gently massaged, which further enhances the feeling of relaxation and vitality.
This treatment is perfect for anyone who wants to experience the benefits of the Mediterranean, relax and renew their skin. After the treatment, the skin will be refreshed, hydrated and shiny, and you will feel completely fresh and energized.
