Aromatherapy in the Spa
(Information provided by Ziba day spa & art gallery )

Aromatherapy in professional esthetics is the use of essential oils in a treatment, carefully selected for the individual client based on a professional consultation. Essential oils are extracted from plants, herbs and flowers. Aromatherapy oils are generally of between a 5 to 35 percent strength depending on the manufacturer, usage and area of the body to be treated.

High concentration and 100 percent strength essential oils should not be applied directly to the skin because they can cause serious side effects and skin reactions. A high concentration oil may be indicated for use in the bath because it is diluted with gallons of water before coming in direct contact with the skin.

Although individual essential oils are used in aromatherapy, we at Ziba day Spa had the best results by using blends of several oils together for a synergistic effect. Essential oils, when blended into the carrier base, are then ready for use in esthetics. They can be applied to the skin with massage, warm infusions, bathing or compresses. Because of their volatile nature, aromatherapy oils should be packaged in either aluminum or glass bottles. Aromatherapy oils should not be exposed to heat, light or hand contact, as this will degrade the oils.

Each essential oil has its own unique "Personality" and is used for particular benefits. For example, we have found lavender oil is excellent for burns and irritation, ylang-ylang produces super results on oilier skins, and geranium oil is very calming and anti-inflammatory.

AROMATHERAPY IN ACTION

The best and most effective way to include aromatherapy oils in a treatment is with massage.

A combination of petrissage and kneading along with a gentle and rhythmic routine to de-stress and decongest the body, featuring pressure point therapy and reflexology for a more effective treatment.

Facial massage
Because our precious herbal aromatherapy oils have strong antibacterial effects; they are very beneficial to the skin; especially oily and problem skins. The oil is applied after cleansing with light steam for hydration. Although clients with oilier skins may be a little wary of using essential oils on their skins, it should be remembered that aromatherapy oils are made up of molecules such as alcohols, phenols and terpenes and because they are so quickly absorbed, little trace of oil is actually left on the skin. Aromatherapy oils should be selected for their beneficial effects on the individual client; either relaxing, detoxifying or stimulating.
