When you think of yoga, perhaps the holistic experience which involves stretching while being present with the breath is what comes to mind. There’s a reason why this ancient practice has made its way into the everyday routines of those wanting to see and feel the benefits of what mindful movement of the body can do. Now apply this concept to the face. Skin Loft is a new luxury beauty salon in West Kensington, London, conveniently situated a short distance from the iconic Olympia London. Daiva Kamysova, a renowned Facialist, Cosmetologist and founder of Skinloft, has expertly devised her Signature Face Sculpting Buccal Massage, also known as ‘The Yoga Facelift’. Intrigued? I visited with an open mind, and it was unlike any facial treatment I’ve ever experienced before!
The moment you step into Skin Loft, you are enveloped in an aura of tranquility and luxury. The ambiance sets the stage for the pampering journey that awaits. From the carefully curated decor to the soothing background music, every detail is designed to whisk you away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. However it’s Daiva Kamysova herself, who immediately put me at ease with her warm and charismatic persona, for this somewhat intimate experience.
WHAT IS A FACE SCULPTING BUCCAL MASSAGE?
‘The Yoga Facelift’ is a rejuvenating and holistic facial treatment that involves targeted massage techniques applied to the muscles of the face, particularly focusing on the cheek and jaw area. This specialised massage aims to release tension and smooth lines, lift the face, improve circulation, promote lymphatic drainage, and enhance the overall appearance of the skin.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
This deep-tissue sculptural massage is an anti-gravity method designed to lift the
face, strengthen your muscles and reduce unnecessary sagging of the skin. The facial is undertaken in two phases.
Phase 1: The Sculptural Phase
This deep tissue sculptural massage is an anti-gravity method designed to lift the
face, strengthen your muscles and reduce unnecessary sagging of the skin.
Phase 2: The Deep Tissue Phase
During the deep tissue phase, the muscles are massaged from inside the mouth
to help firm, tone and sculpt the face. This technique helps to relax the muscles,
stimulate blood flow, and encourage the release of toxins. It also aids in the
production of collagen, which contributes to firmer and more youthful-looking
skin.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE FACE SCULPTING BUCCAL MASSAGE?
Enhanced Blood Flow: The massage increases blood circulation, which
promotes oxygen and nutrient delivery to the skin cells, resulting in a radiant
complexion.
Toned Muscles: By targeting specific facial muscles, the massage helps to sculpt and tone the face, reducing the appearance of sagging or drooping.
Lymphatic Drainage: The technique encourages lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness and swelling for a more contoured look.
Natural Glow: Improved circulation and muscle tone contribute to a healthy and vibrant skin glow.
Stress Relief: The massage helps alleviate facial tension and stress, promoting relaxation and a sense of well-being.
WHY CHOOSE THE FACE SCULPTING BUCCAL MASSAGE?
This treatment offers a non-invasive and natural approach to facial rejuvenation.
It’s a holistic way to address various concerns such as sagging skin, fine lines, and
overall skin health. The massage technique provides both cosmetic and
therapeutic benefits.
WHO IS THIS TREATMENT SUITABLE FOR?
The Face Sculpting Buccal Massage is suitable for individuals of various ages and skin
types. It’s particularly beneficial for those seeking a natural approach to facial
enhancement, including addressing signs of ageing, promoting relaxation, and
improving overall skin vitality.
