We combine a calming blend of skin-treating oils – vitamin E-rich sweet almond oil, high in omega-3 hemp oil, antioxidant-boosting raspberry seed oil and rejuvenating sea buckthorn oil – with a warm orange scent and a hint of comforting lavender, petitgrain and cedarwood.
How to:
Add a capful to running bath water or massage into damp skin. Senior Therapist, Morwenna White, at Swim Club, Watergate Bay Hotel describes massage techniques below:
Effleurage is a gentle, gliding massage technique that is used to relax and soothe the body. This massage movement is used to help increase circulation and improve lymphatic drainage. It is typically used at the beginning of a massage to relax and prepare the body for more intense techniques.
Petrissage: Petrissage is a deeper massage technique that is used to knead the muscles, helping to further increase circulation. It is done by using your fingers and thumbs to make circular motions.
Tapotement: This technique involves tapping the skin with your fingers or palms to stimulate the muscles.
Try breathing deep: Inhale for a slow count of 4 and exhale for a count of 8. This is a great way to relax both body and mind.
