A new concept using micro-current facial toning with argan oil which is rich in vitamin E and known for its anti-ageing properties.
Argan blends with essential oils have been created to suit individual skin types.
This will be followed by gentle cosmetic acupuncture point stimulation on the face and body, which can be applied using either very fine needles or acupressure and tens (needle free stimulation) directed at the acupuncture points.
Chinese herbal supplements may be prescribed if wished according to correct underlying imbalances in the body, and nourish the entire system. These can promote healthy glowing skin, nourish dryness, reduce puffiness or clear impurities that lead to problem skin.
The prescription of acupuncture points on the face and body acts to underpin the micro-current therapy by promoting blood circulation and oxygenating the skin, aiding lymphatic drainage and brightening the complexion.

The trees are protected by UNESCO as a Biosphere Heritage and ethical trade production of this oil contributes to the conservation of the tree.
