What would help you let go of tension?

Stress has a way of showing up on our faces.

We clench our jaw. Furrow our brow. Tighten around the eyes. Hold tension through the forehead, scalp, neck and facial muscles, often without even realising we're doing it.

And sometimes, what our face needs most isn't another product.

It needs to relax.

This month at Living Waters, we're turning our attention to the connection between stress, facial tension, lymphatic flow and the way our skin looks and feels.

Because caring for your face can be about much more than skincare. It can also be a lovely way to slow down.

Limited places available. Bookings essential.

What to expect

For this workshop, we're delighted to welcome Facial & Skincare Specialist Louise Austin, who will guide us through a beautiful de-stress facial that you'll perform on yourself.

Louise will take us step by step through the process, explaining what we're doing, why we're doing it, and how stress and tension can affect both the face and skin.

We'll be using Ikise skincare, with Louise introducing the products and their key ingredients as we work through cleansing, toning, serums and nourishing skincare.

Then comes the part we think you'll want to remember!

Using booster oil, Louise will teach you simple facial massage techniques to relax tired facial muscles and encourage lymphatic drainage, while helping your skincare absorb comfortably into the skin.

And yes, there's a lovely beauty benefit too.

Relaxing tense facial muscles, encouraging lymphatic flow and caring well for the skin can help the face look fresher, softer and more rested.

Think of it as de-stressing with a little anti-ageing bonus.

Something you can use at home

Because you'll be doing the facial yourself, you won't simply leave with lovely skin. You'll leave knowing how to recreate some of it at home.

No complicated beauty regime required.

Just your own hands, a few minutes and the knowledge of what to do.

This isn't about chasing every line or trying to look twenty years younger.

It's about helping your face look, and feel, less stressed.

Morning Tea

After our facial, we'll gather around the table for a relaxed morning tea with homemade organic treats and a selection of Living Waters herbal teas.

As always, there's time to ask questions, share ideas, have a laugh and enjoy being together.

And this time, we'll all be looking particularly radiant. 😄

Who it's for

You don't need to know anything about facials, skincare or facial massage.

This workshop is for anyone who'd enjoy learning a simple, natural way to care for their skin while also giving themselves permission to slow down.

Perhaps you'd like to understand your skin a little better. Maybe you'd love to learn facial massage techniques you can actually use at home. Or perhaps the idea of spending a morning being looked after, while learning how to look after yourself, sounds rather lovely.

Come on your own or gather a few friends and make a morning of it.
