Spa Essentials

Welcome to your step-by-step guide to carrying out a BRIGHTENING FACIAL at home.

When you are preparing for your facial at home, ensure you have a clean towel, warm water and you may like to pop your Brightening Eye Gel in the fridge before you start.

For the ultimate spa experience light a fragranced candle and have some gentle music playing. A full facial takes half an hour, so you want to be comfortable and relaxed.

Step 1 - Deep Cleanse with Polishing Hot Cloth Cleanser

• Submerge muslin cloth in warm water, wring out and lay over the face to open the pores for 10-15 seconds.
  • Rinse and repeat this step.
• Gently smooth the creamy Polishing Hot Cloth Cleanser over your entire face with your fingertips using our professional Sanctuary Therapist prayer method.
  • Work methodically over your face using firm sweeping motions across the chin
  • Create a V shape with your fingers and work firmly around the nose
  • Use gentle figure of eight patterns with fingertips on your cheeks and tiny circles over your forehead
• Wetting the cloth in warm water, polish away the cleanser in a circular motion. Splash face with warm water.

THERAPIST TIP: Repeat the cleansing step. The first cleanse removes surface dust and dirt, the second goes deeper and allows the rich oils to penetrate the skin.

Wet the cloth in cold water, wring out and lay over your face to close the pores.

Step 2 - Exfoliate with Radiance Exfoliator

• Apply a pea-sized quantity of Radiance Exfoliator to damp skin and massage upwards in circular movements.

• Wipe away the mask with a warm, damp face cloth and pat dry.

THERAPIST TIP: Leave on overnight for an extra moisture injection and cleanse with warm water in the morning.

Step 4 - Target with Brightening Eye Gel

• Apply Brightening Eye Gel to tips of ring fingers. Using a light tapping motion with your finger tips, press the gel into skin.
  • Never rub, pull or drag the skin.
  • Start at the outer most point of the eye and work inwards below the socket and up and over the eye just below the brow and back to the outer point.

THERAPIST TIP: For an added refreshing boost keep gel in the fridge for an hour before use. The cooling also reduces puffiness.

Step 5 - Hydrate & Protect with Illuminating Moisture Lotion SPF 15

• Smooth a pea-sized of Illuminating Moisture Lotion SPF 15 amount between your palms and then press these to the face-cheeks, forehead, chin and nose.
  • Light pressure, not rubbing, allows the maximum absorption and an even spread of the SPF lotion.

• Avoid areas that are aggravated by blemishes and wait until the skin is recovered.
• For best results, exfoliate when your skin is nice and warm as your pores will be more relaxed and you will gain a more effective exfoliation.
• Always work from the centre of the face outwards with your hands working symmetrically.

Are Sanctuary Spa facial Skin Care products hypoallergenic?

Our products are not hypoallergenic however they have been dermatologically tested. Hypoallergenic is a specific test to determine allergens found in products. The dermatological test also tests for sensitisers and so usually it is normal to do one and not the other.

My skin is very dry, what can I use to help it?

The most effective way to instantly hydrate your skin is by using a facial oil. Oil mimics the way moisture naturally occurs within the skin. Applied to the skin?s surface, oil can be absorbed much faster and can penetrate more effectively than lotions or creams.

Our therapists describe our Therapist?s Secret Facial Oil as a superfood for skin and the secret step in a spa facial, instantly replenishing and delivering an ultimate hydration surge for lasting rejuvenation.

Women often think an oil will clog pores and lead to spots and blackheads, however adding oil to the skin can help control the skin?s natural oil production so skin is nourished but also balanced.

I have breakouts around the face, what can I do?

The most important thing to do is thoroughly cleanse the skin. Simple things such as ensuring the removal of eye make up separately and double cleansing can really make a difference. The 1st cleanse removes surface dirt, the 2nd really gives the skin a deep cleanse.

After cleansing, always tone the skin to close the pores keeping bacteria out and then give a gentle exfoliation.

Ridding the skin of dead cells also helps to minimise bacteria build up.

Use a purifying mask like our 5 Minute Thermal Detox Mask twice a week to purify skin and draw out impurities.

Avoid touching your face as much as possible and spreading bacteria.

My skin is ageing what are the best ingredients to look out for?

As we age, the connective tissues that keep skin firm begin to weaken, the structure of the skin is not supported as well and fine lines and wrinkles can develop.

Look for ingredients that promote collagen synthesis, this helps to protect and strengthen the skin from within. Seaweeds and marine algaes are great at promoting suppleness and elasticity in the skin, our Youth Boosting facial skincare range includes a unique marine complex which firms and plumps.

Skin is also more prone to dryness so should be treated to intense nourishment with ingredients such as honey, royal jelly and potent oils. Protective antioxidants and a good SPF are also vital to keep skin looking young.

What should I use if I have sensitive skin?

Try one product at a time and let your skin get used to each product gradually, this way you will be able to identify any products that don?t agree with your skin quickly.

Sensitive skin types should avoid abrasive exfoliators, look for ingredients that soothe and calm such as chamomile and witch hazel. These can be found in some of our Deep Cleanse facial range.

We would always recommend patch testing a product 24 hours before use. Test the product behind the ear and check there are no signs of irritation before use.

I have very little time what would you recommend using at home?

If you have only time to add 5 minutes into your Skin Care routine our therapist would always recommend a once a week face mask, otherwise known as the difference maker! This specific treatment delivers an intense burst for instant visible results.

The NEW Sanctuary Facial In-a-box available in Youth Boosting and Brightening kits is a great way to sample all of the products in a 30 minute step by step facial at home.

I have very puffy eyes in the morning, what can I do?

By placing the Brightening Eye Gel in the fridge over night it can be applied first thing in the morning to help reduce puffiness. Use a light tapping motion with your ring fingers, starting at the outer point of the eye, work inwardly under the eye socket and up and over the eye just below the brow bone.

Are Sanctuary Spa facial skin care products suitable for use during pregnancy?

All of our NEW Skin Care range is suitable for use during pregnancy.

Are Sanctuary Spa facial skin care products 100% natural?

At the Sanctuary Spa we take great pride in all our formulations and always use high quality ingredients, we also use natural and organic ingredients wherever possible to benefit the skin, you will find many natural extracts and essential oils in the products.

However not all of the Skin Care range is 100% natural, it is important that we always offer products that deliver superior performance, skin feel and enhanced experience and it is not always possible to do that using only natural ingredients.

If you are specifically looking for a 100% natural product our Therapist?s Secret Facial Oil is a potent blend of natural oils and is also 99.6% organic.

Are Sanctuary Spa facial skin care products tested on animals?

The Sanctuary Spa is against animal testing and our manufacturers do not use ingredients that have been tested on animals, or test our final formulations on animals. The only product testing that we do actively participate in is the blind testing of our new launches on a panel of women to ensure our products are of the highest standard and always deliver the results they expect.

Are Sanctuary Spa facial Skin Care products suitable for vegetarians and vegans?

All of our products are suitable for vegetarians however they are not all suitable for vegans. Sometimes we will use animal by-products such as beeswax or milk protein for their skin care benefits. You can check by referring to the ingredients list on our products.

I have been feeling quite sluggish and lacking in energy, especially in the mornings. What can I do that will help get me moving?

This is a very common cause for women who come into the spa. Particularly after the winter months where we've been so used to staying in the warm and having early nights. In order for our body to function properly, our general well being needs to be strong and energy levels good.

A great start in the mornings is performing a few gentle stretches or pilates - both are great as gets the breath and circulation moving, stimulating the spine and muscles, and floods the body with the good feelings one gets from exercising the whole body.

Why not also try a gorgeous new Spa Therapies Revive range. Dry body brushing is a great way to kick start your blood and lymphatic circulation - it acts as a form of 'work out' for your skin so aiding the delivery of all those useful nutrients to leave you healthy and raring to go!

Our Energy-Zing Shower Drench is another perfect remedy for sluggish feelings in the morning by having key essential oils of orange, lemongrass and grapefruit known for their uplifting, invigorating and stimulating effects to both the body and mind!

Consuming plenty of water ensures high-energy levels by flushing out toxins from the body and ensuring that all organs perform optimally and efficiently. Further, a good body leads to a good mind ensuring that you are energetic and active. Try to drink at least 8 glasses a day and first thing in the morning add a slice of lemon to hot water - is a great natural body cleanser!

Lastly a little sun exposure, in moderation, can help to boost your energy levels by increasing your natural feel good hormone serotonin. This in turn can help to lift your spirits and boost the spring in your step! One hour per week (not in direct sunlight) is a safe amount of time.

My circulation is quite poor and I always get cold hands and feet - what should I do?

If your hands and feet tend to be cold this is quite a strong indicator that your circulation is a little sluggish or poor. Therefore, the most important thing is to perform activities and use specific products that will help to stimulate your circulation. Products that naturally warm up on your skin are great because you will instantly benefit from the heat. Also try to have regular exercise (2-3 times a week) to keep everything moving and prevent blood stagnating in your extremities i.e. feet and hands.

Try our new Spa Therapies Relax range. This range has been designed to provide you with that beautiful warming spa experience in the comfort of your own home with warming scrubs and oils. You have probably found your skin to be quite dry due to your sluggish circulation. Therefore using products that are incredibly rich and creamy will be the perfect recipe.

Our Melting Body Fondant has an amazing balm like texture, enriched with mango and shea butters that help to nourish and lubricate the skin, keeping it supple and plump.

Our Softening Thermal Sugar Scrub is another great product to use at home to aid circulation. It has a heating element as soon as it is applied to the skin which is super indulgent. Try to use 'friction' movements backwards and forwards with the palms of your hands in an upward movement towards your heart to again, promote your blood and lymphatic flow.

Another great tool within the Spa Therapies Relax range are the Warming Massage Stones. Just pour warm water into the stones so that they heat up and you can glide the stones over areas of your body that suffer from tension and poor circulation.

I have trouble sleeping. How can I improve this situation?

We treat many ladies at the spa and sleep deprivation is most definitely a growing concern. Our body needs sleep. During sleep, our body releases growth hormones to help repair and rebuild our body's cells.

Therefore, if we suffer from a lack of sleep, our body with all our living cells are working overtime the following day which can have a knock on affect to our body's complex systems. Improving the quality of sleep, will help to boost your immunity, fighting off nasty colds and flu.

Try our new Spa Therapies Sleep Range before bedtime which has been carefully created with sleep benefits at the forefront of our aim with these products. Key essential oils in this range are patchouli, frankincense and ylang ylang, all known for calming the mind, reducing levels of stress and anxiety and helping insomnia. Having a warm bath before bed actually lowers your body temperature (once you get out) which is more sleep inducing than if you are warmer so pour our luxurious Soothing Bath Float into your bath and feel tension melt away.

Try to create a 'Sanctuary' in your bathroom with candles lit too. Candles can instantly help to relax the mind and you can even try using them for a little form of meditation. Just watch the flame and enjoy the movement naturally created by the flame. It will really help you to switch off from everything else around you and clear your, perhaps, busy mind. Try our Daydream Candle embedded with the sleep inducing essential oils of ylang ylang, patchouli and frankincense.

Why not sip on a cup of chamomile herbal tea. chamomile is a natural relaxing herb known to assist the restless and those suffering from insomnia promoting restfulness and drowsiness.

Avoiding using the television is a must as can be over stimulating to the mind and actually have the reverse effect of making you sleep! Our beautiful Serenity Eye Pillow is the perfect tool to help you enjoy a calm and peaceful nights sleep.

I suffer from tension in my neck and shoulders, apart from having a massage, is there anything else I can do at home?

Having a warm bath can dramatically help relieve tension in your neck and shoulders. Our indulgent Nourishing Bath Soak in the Spa Therapies Relax range is rich enough to ensure it can nourish your skin whilst you have a long hot soak.

Additionally incorporating yoga and pilates can really help to loosen muscular aches and pains and prevent further tension building up. Another great way to relieve tension in neck and shoulders and help your posture is 'back stroke swimming' as naturally trains your shoulders to sit further back and be more flexible and supple.

A great tool within the Spa Therapies Relax range are the Warming Massage Stones. Just pour warm water into the stones so that they heat up and you can glide the stones over areas of your body that suffer from tension. Self massage can easily be performed or get a loved one or friend to work through your areas of tension.

How can wind down on a long journey to combat jet lag?

Be prepared. Taking a few suitable products and tools can make a real difference. If your flight is long, trying to get some sleep. Using a soft Eye Pillow like our Serenity Eye Pillow will help you to switch off and promote sleep by blocking out any light but also with the powerful properties of ylang ylang, patchouli and frankincense infused within the pillow will boost your relaxation levels.

During the flight before you drift off try to perform some deep breathing - sitting comfortably, close your eyes ? and try taking deep, slow breaths ? making each breath even deeper than the last. The key to deep breathing is to breathe from the abdomen, getting as much air as possible into your lungs. The more oxygen you get, the less tense, short of breath, and anxious you feel. Try closing your eyes and imagine a place or activity that is calming and peaceful for you.

Drink plenty of water during the flight - flying can be extremely dehydrating and consumption of water also helps prevent depression by ensuring that the human body automatically replenishes serotonin. It also prevents sleep disorders by producing the sleep regulator melatonin. Once off the flight and at your holiday destination, see our FAQ above on boosting energy levels to ensure you are fit and raring to go for your holiday - washing away any signs of Jet Lag!

I suffer from stress related migraines - how can I help prevent this without medication?

The most important remedy for stress-related migraines is making sure you have time for yourself and you 'schedule in' time for you and relaxation. When your body is in a state of relaxation, your system gets back into balance: deepening your breathing, reducing stress hormones, slowing down your heart rate and blood pressure, and relaxing your muscles.

In addition to its calming physical effects, research shows that the relaxation response also increases energy and focus, combats illness, relieves aches and pains, heightens problem-solving abilities, and boosts motivation and productivity. This may mean taking a bath, reading a book, going for a walk, mediation or doing a little yoga or pilates each day. Whatever it is that helps you to relax...

Within our new Spa Therapies Relax Range, the chosen essential oils within are specifically known for their calming properties - labdanum, cedarwood and vetiver. All help with calming anxiety, reducing stress levels and stress related conditions e.g. migraines.

Try our Escape and Unwind Collection. This perfect ensemble includes a Nourishing Bath Soak, Softening Thermal Sugar Polish, Warming Body Oil, Cocooning Body Butter and a Warming Massage Stone. If you have limited with time to visit one of our beautiful spas, why not create your very own experience in the comfort of your own home. Pop some candles on and lock the bathroom door! Also do try to avoid hours in front of a computer screen with no breaks, try to prioritise and remember you are only human. Having a To Do list often helps to gauge the priorities of each task and once written, can help you to switch off.

As a busy working Mum, I find it hard to make time for myself. Help!

From the thousands of women we see at our spas we understand your concern and you are not alone. That is why we have created this beautiful new premium collection of products - Spa Therapies.
