OUR RANGE OF FACIALS
DEEP CLEANSING FACIAL: Suitable for skin prone to Commodones [black heads/ white heads] with low or normal sebum production. This service is NOT recommended on a regular basis, but rather occasionally.
DE-SENSITIVIZE FACIAL: Suitable for extremely dry, flaky &/or sensitive skin prone to acne, rosacea, spots/pimples.
ANTI AGEING FACIAL: Suitable for mature, saggy skin, large pores, fine lines/wrinkles. This anti‑ageing facial focuses on massage techniques designed to improve natural collagen production, tone, and make the subcutaneous layer of your skin firmer and tighter. The products used are also designed to slow down the ageing process — a key benefit of this facial service.
GLOW FACIAL: Suitable for uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation [specifically around the mouth area or the neck], age spots, sun‑damaged skin, mild scars, dull or lifeless skin. For brighter, glowing, dewy skin choose this facial service.
THIRST QUENCHER FACIAL: Specifically designed for anyone prone to or suffering from Eczema or Psoriasis. Most of the products and processes applied in this service will significantly differ from all other facial services
For anyone suffering from or prone to eczema or psoriasis we strongly recommend the Thirst‑Quencher Facial as the best suited facial service. Choosing any other type of facial may further irritate the skin and potentially worsen the condition. If you still choose another facial service, this will be at your own risk.
With the Thirst‑Quencher Facial many will notice relief after the first service, but we suggest you purchase a bundle — this includes a consultation where we assess your skin, give you advice on how often to receive each service, skincare tips and dietary recommendations. Purchasing a bundle will also reduce the price per treatment significantly.
FACIAL - STEPS
- FACE MASSAGE Our Holistic Facial service starts off with a face massage, using Isvaara’s Herbal oil, tailor made for your skin type and concerns. This will increase blood flow to the skin, which in turn will increase collagen production which will help thickening & strengthening the skin barrier / fascia. This will make the skin look firmer & more toned. Methods of lymphatic drainage will also be applied during the face massage, which help to drain the lymph nodes of any toxins. This will ease tension on your face, reduce any water retention, break down any cellulites, reduce puffiness in the face & get the fat cells moving. Ingredients: See Face Massage Service page.
- ISVAARA’S HERBAL CLEANSER: . Next, Isvaara Herbal cleanser will be applied; this will clean the surface of the skin thoroughly yet gently. This step is to loosen up & lift off any build ups/dirt on the surface of the skin and open the pores. The type of cleanser that we will use will depend on your skin type and concern [we don’t use the same cleanser on every client]. Ingrediens List: See Product page
- STEAM: will heat up the skin & allow the pores to open for further deep cleaning & exfoliation during the mask application. PS: We will Only use a steamer if deemed necessary for your skin.
- ROSEWATER TONER Cotten pads soaked in Isvaara’s 100% natural and 100% Pure Rose Water, will then be placed on your eyes, this will soothe the skin around your eye area & reduce any redness or irritation on the skin. It will also heal any damage that has occurred due to oxidative stress, free radicals and excessive exposure to blue light.
- ALL NATURAL ISVAARA’s FACE MASK is the main part of our Holistic Facial. The mask is tailor made to your specific skin type and concern is then applied to your face and neck. Our Masks are fully natural yet potent enough to target anything from dry skin, Oily skin, poor skin texture, uneven skin tone, acne, sun damage, comedones, large pores, fine lines, wrinkles and skin that has lost its elasticity and glow.
PS: We can only focus on 1 -2 skin concerns at a time (as not all herbs complement each other, and some herbs could reduce the potency of the other herb). As the Ingredients for the face mask is tailormade further to assessing your skin care questionnaire, these will be discussed with you at the clinic before the treatment – as the masks used will be different for each skin type/ concern.
6. PURE ROSE WATER TONER Once the mask is rinsed off with lukewarm water or cold water (depending on your skin type) Isvaara’s all-natural Rose Water is applied to your skin to calm any irritation or redness caused during the facial.
7. MUSHROOM SERUM Using Isvaara’s all-natural Serum a seal is applied to the skin for protection from pollutants and radiation. Our Serum will work overnight to tighten and tone your skin and work to breakdown any hyperpigmentation on the skin. Ingredients: Rosehip oil, Jojoba oil infused with Shiitake Mushroom, frankincense resin powder, ashwagandha and chaga mushroom.
9. MOISTURISER Your Holistic Facial will finish off with a Natural moisturiser to act as a second layer of protection and to lock in all the goodness we have applied on your skin, to allow it to stay put and work on your skin for the remainder of the day. Ingredients: Shea Butter infused with saffron oil, jojoba oil infused with guava leaves, turmeric, sandalwood and sweet lime. Infused with shitake mushroom.
PS: Please note that many of the products used during the facial, from cleanser to herbal oil to the mask may be specifically prepared for your skin type and concern, using the information provided by yourself on the Skincare Questionnaire completed by yourself prior to the appointment. It is therefore important that the information provided on this questionnaire is as accurate as possible, in order to get the best possible results from our treatments and more importantly to avoid any allergic reactions to unsuitable ingredients.
Our full ingredients list of the main products we use during the facials can be found under our Product section. But please do bear in mind that we do further tailor make them to your specific skin type and condition when we prep your face pack, and it’ll be difficult to outline the full list of each and every product we may use to do this.
However once you’ve submitted your skin care questionnaire you’re welcome to request us for the additional products we have included in your pack and we will be happy to share this with you before your treatment. This is especially advised if you have sensitive skin and you are not sure whether you may be allergic to any natural products or not. The only additional things we will use to further tailor make your face packs are different types of essential oils, carrier oils and saffron or kumkumadi oil.
WHY CHOOSE ISVAARA FOR FACIAL IN BIRMINGHAM?
1 We don’t use off the shelf ready made products. Because we understand your skin is unique to you. Every face pack we make is tailor made as a facial treatment specific to your skin type and concern – based on your answers to our facial questionnaires which you will receive pre-appointment. And the process of each type of holistic facial will also vary depending on your skin type, need and any condition you may wish to address.
2. Our products are stored in amber glass and prepped using wooden bowls and spatulas – Yes it matters. None of our equipment is plastic, it’s either glass or wood.
3 All our herbal products are stored in a powder form to avoid the necessity for preservatives.
4 Our aromatherapy candles are made of pure beeswax and essential oils – whilst you’re in our clinic we don’t just care about what goes on your skin but also what you breathe in.
5 Our air fresheners are live plants – After all who could do this job better than mother nature?
6 All Our carrier oils are pure organic and cold pressed and so are our essential oils
7 Our towels are made of pure cotton and so is the robe you’re given to wear during the treatments
8 We always leave the windows open whenever it’s safe to do so – to welcome fresh air to bless our clinic with all it’s goodness and to remove stuffiness.
9 Our walls, ceilings and floors are regularly checked for and kept damp and mould free and
10 Although you may have an idea of which facial is best for you, if we believe you got it wrong we will advise you of our choice for your skin type and condition.
Our Birmingham clinic provides holistic facials to clients across the West Midlands, ensuring each facial treatment is safely customised to your skin.
PS: For this reason the Facial Steps and process mentioned above may also slightly vary from person to person. I.e. If we deem steam is not suitable for your skin type, we would replace this with a hand massage. If we deem the mushroom serum is not suitable for your, we may replace this with another serum that’s more suitable for your skin.
EXAMPLE:
We have clients from across the West Midlands requesting deep cleansing facials when they have high sebum production or extremely dry skin. However, our deep cleansing facial treatment includes scrubs and potent deep cleansing ingredients which would not be suitable for this skin type as it would further irritate the sensitive skin barrier and throw off the skin’s PH balance which in the long run will worsen the above mentioned conditions.
For this skin type, we would usually recommend our De-Sensitivize Option, as this facial would focus on deeply hydrating and nourishing the skin which would assist with rebalancing the sebum production to a healthy level and providing hydration from inside out. The products used are gentle yet potent to deal with the concerns and improve the skin’s ability to regenerate healthy cells.
Our clients across the West Midlands value this level of personalisation in their facial treatments.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
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 therefore very potent.
This is one of the reason why we always dilute our Face Packs when we have a new client, 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 the tolerance and ensure you see better results from your holistic facial over time.
However, whilst you are still new to natural skin care ingredients and until your skin gets used to it, it’s important to look out for any allergic reactions or symptoms and learn to spot them as early as possible to stop them from worsening and to bring the skin back to normal.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU DEVELOP AN ALLERGIC REACTION?
We do request our clients not to speak during the facial treatment (and we remain silent throughout the treatment too, this is to ensure our clients are fully relaxed during the treatment).
However, if you do feel any tightness in the skin or any other abnormal symptoms during the treatment please do speak up and inform us, so we can take immediate action to bring your skin back to safety.
If you develop any symptoms of an allergic reaction to any of our natural products once you’ve left our clinic, it is vital that you immediately rinse the area with cool water (not ice cold) , pat dry your skin thoroughly (ensuring no water/ dampness is left on the skin) with a clean cotton towel or t-shirt (do not rub). Do not apply anything on your face after rinsing and patting it dry.
After doing the above, contact us immediately [within 3 hours maximum] with pictures for further advice on how to manage the symptoms. If we feel we are not able to provide you with the best advice, we will ensure we point you in the right direction.
If the symptoms are significant or worsens fast contact a medical professional immediately. We would suggest you walk into an Urgent Care Centre in person if possible – as allergic reactions are best assessed in person by a medical professional looking at your skin in person.
HOLISTIC FACIAL BEFORE & AFTERCARE
Do not wash or cleanse your skin up to 10 hours before your facial treatment. During the facial, we will be doing a double cleanse and potentially a scrub (depending on your skin type/condition). Over-cleansing the skin is never a good idea, as it can disrupt your skin barrier and leave your skin in a worse condition.
Remove any eye makeup before turning up to the facial appointment if possible, as we will be applying eye-care products, and although we’ll be doing a basic cleanse around your eye area, it’s best if we do not have to rub and scrub your delicate eye area for too long right before applying eye-care products.
Do not wash your face, neck or chest area (these are the areas we will be covering during your facial) until the next morning. Because this will allow the products we apply during the facial to keep working on your skin overnight.
Do not apply anything to your face, neck or chest area, until you rinsed your skin with cool [Not ice cold] water the next morning.
Do not go in the sun for the remainder of the day (if you have absolutely no way of staying away from the sun fully, wear a big hat or caps to avoid direct sunlight – we would suggest you do NOT apply any chemical sunscreens).
Always check the full ingredients list of any skincare product you use. Only because it says it’s all natural, it doesn’t necessary mean it is.
Greenwashing is a real thing!
This aftercare applies to all holistic facials and facial treatments at our Birmingham clinic, where we treat clients from across the West Midlands.
GENERAL SKINCARE ADVICE FOR HEALTHIER SKIN
Opt for freshly home-cooked warm meals whenever you can, and avoid junk food.
Anything that says “free from” “low sugar” or “sugar free” is worse for your health and your skin. So, it’s better to have sugary drinks in moderation rather than having any free-from drinks, where they add a lot of harmful substances to substitute for the sugar. Generally speaking, reducing the consumption of Sugary drinks [such as Alcohol, pops, juices, fizzy beverages]. would speed up your journey to a healthier skin.
Do not over-cleanse your face – less is more. Washing your face once a day with a natural cleanser before you go to bed is more than sufficient. In the mornings, splashing your face with cool water should be enough.
Face Massages and face exercises would do more for keeping your face toned and firm (and keeping early signs of ageing such as fine lines at wrinkles at bay) than most high street chemical-packed skincare products.
Avoid blue light whenever you can, especially right before bedtime. We would suggest putting your phone on flight mode and putting away any electronic devices (ideally outside your bedroom) 30 mins before bedtime. Blue light is known to directly accelerate ageing, by damaging collagen and elastin through oxidative stress and increasing melanin production, leading to dark spots, fine lines and wrinkles.
Walking in nature is the best form of exercise, as opposed to walking indoors on a treadmill. It has proven physical and mental benefits.
Sun is not your enemy, but direct sunlight may be. So, avoid exposing your skin to direct sunlight by wearing hats/caps and clothing covering your chest area and arms. From experience, we personally believe this is a better way to protect yourself from the “midday” sun as opposed to wearing chemical sunscreens that would also damage your skin (and health) – just in a different way. The known devil is better than the unknown.
Avoid any nicotine products. This includes vapes, which is in many ways known (or not yet known) to be more harmful than traditional cigarettes.
Only take drugs (aka medications) when absolutely necessary. Have regular check-ups with your GP to re-assess your symptoms and health to see if it’s safe to come off or reduce the amount of medication you’re intaking.
Quality sleep is any sleep you get between the hours of 10pm and 8am. Try to schedule your bedtime between these hours. It’s better even if you get less hours of sleep within this window than it is to sleep longer hours outside of this window.
