ISVAARA LTD BEFORE & AFTER CARE
DISCLAIMER: Although Isvaara Ltd only use Natural products and we take every precaution possible to ensure we tailor make it based on the assessment of your skin care questionnaire, there is still a chance that, in very rare cases, you may react to some of the ingredients. For this reason you MUST ensure you read the Contraindication Section on this page prior to your treatment. Click Here to read this now.
Before and After Care must be followed for any treatments, to achieve optimal results:
Drink a minimum of 0.5 litre warm (not hot) water throughout the 3-4 hours before your treatment
Drink a minimum of 0.5 litre warm water throughout the rest of the day after your treatment
Do not have a hot shower, use sauna / steamroom or apply heat to the area treated for 48 hours.
We advise to relax as much as possible after a massage.
The reason for this is because the massages themselves are internal exercises for your body. The massage will have kick started an internal cleansing process, which will only reach optimal benefits when the body is allowed to rest.
Indian Head Massage
Before & Aftercare
1. For best results please ensure your hair is washed & clean 1 – 2 days before your appointment. If the hair is wet or even damp when you arrive, we may not be able to apply the oil on your hair, and may only proceed with a dry massage (as applying oil on wet or damp hair can cause head aches , cold & other health issues). Secondly having a clean scalp ensures that all the nutrients from the herbal hair oil tailor made to your scalp condition and hair concerns is absorbed properly and can work overnight for maximum benefits.
2. After the Indian head massage the oil needs to be left on your scalp / hair for a minimum of 4 hours before washing your hair. But we do advice leaving it overnight and washing it in the morning if possible. When washing the hair we suggest you use a SLS – Free Shampoo. It’s important the oil is washed out thoroughly, so feel free to shampoo your hair twice if required.
3. It’s important you stay warm & that your hair does not get wet after the treatment, until the oil is washed off and hair is thoroughly dried.
During Winter months or Rainy days Kindly bring a hat and scarf to the appointment and plan your journey accordingly. If you are travelling by public transport we highly suggest you get the taxi on your way home or arrange for someone to collect you by car. If your oiled hair gets wet or your head/ neck our shoulder area gets cold after the treatment, there’s a chance you could develop head aches, catch a cold or develop other adverse symptoms.

Face Massage
Before & Aftercare
FACE MASSAGE BEFORE AND AFTER CARE
Although a Face Massage will help with congestion and sinus issues, do NOT come in for a Face Massage if you have an active Cold/ Flu and you are still contagious. This is usually the first 5 days (depending on the severity of the Cold /Flu). This is to protect our Clients and ourselves but also to protect you, as a face massage during an active infectious stage could cause your symptoms to worsen rather than bettering it.
On the day of your Face Massage do not wash the area to be treated with soap or cleansers [before or after] – only rinse the area with cold or luke warm water.
Do Not apply any makeup to your skin 2 hours before or 6 hours after your treatment [Eye/ Lip Make Up is fine].

CONTRA-INDICATIONS
Contradictory to the belief that you cannot react to natural products, there is in fact a higher chance of someone reacting to 100% natural products than they are to chemical products. The reason being is that many chemical products are packed with fillers and binders that are in an inactive form – whilst natural products derived and stored in their most natural state are fully active and potent, therefore until you build tolerance for these products there is a chance you can react to them.
To minimize the chance of any allergic reactions we always dilute our Face Packs for new clients, once you become a regular client and we have a better understanding of your skin’s tolerance, we can slowly but surely increase the strength of the products used on you to further build your tolerance levels to our products to ensure you see better results from your holistic facials over time.
What To Do If I react to a Product?
- Wash the area with cold water [not ice cold].
- Pat Dry with a cotton towel or t-shirt [Do not Rub the Skin]
- Do Not Apply anything to the skin
- Visit a Pharmacy in person [so they can assess your skin] For further advice
- If Symptoms are severe or start spreading, contact a Medical Professional immediately
- Inform us of any such incidents
