The art of caring for the skin with creams and lotions was known way back in ancient Egypt. But the real secret of the Egyptian soft, smooth complexion was in using the hot and cold stimulation, in those days a very difficult procedure. Oils, creams and lotions were used only as a finishing touch. Cold-warm-cold stimulation enhances their action naturally and gently. Hot and cold applications have long been used as a gentle and natural was of keeping our body healthy. Our grandmothers still used heated spoons, hot water bottles and wet compresses as part of their beauty routines.
Today le meche beauty salon offers the Golden Spoons facial, which provide the same effect quickly, comfortably and efficiently. Golden spoons, is actually a skin care system with 23-carat hard gold plating. Pure gold is aseptic and doesn't cause allergies. At le meche, beauty specialist Mr. May Agha, performs this facial. The time duration is almost I hour 15 minutes. The facial begins with a cleansing routine suitable to the skin type. Next scrub is applied to remove any dead skin or impurities. If necessary steam is given to open up pores and then blackheads are removed. Then a hand massage is given with essential oils to relax facial muscles and stimulate the blood circulation.
The golden spoon procedure
The blue handle spoon is the cold spoon, which was kept in the freezer for quite sometime. First the cold spoon is applied. The following are the effects of the cooler massage:
• Coolness freshens and vitalizes the skin.
• Relieves minor aches and pains
• Closes pores-your skin
Immediately becomes soft and silky.
The massage starts downwards from the top of the neck, the spoon is gently passed from the tip of the chin over the jaws towards the ears. Then from the corner of the eye to the eyebrows, towards the ears and over the forehead and temples. Then finally, in a straight line down towards the collarbone.
Warmer massage
To begin the warm massage first face cream or lotion is applied, then the procedure is begun by passing the spoon gently down the neck towards the lips in upward strokes over the cheeks up to the eyebrows and around the eyes. Next the warmer spoon is kept over the forehead up to the hairline and then over the temples. The built in vibrator is turned on for more relaxation.
The cooler and the warmer massage are both repeated again.
Both these massages are very relaxing and invigorating and the person thoroughly enjoys every minute of it.
Finally, the mask is applied, and after 15 minutes it's taken off and the skin is visibly radiant.
So do go and have a nice facial at le mech with Ms. Agha and give your skin the pampering it deserves.
