Not only does taking Collagen internally help strengthen & lengthen nails. But also using a Collagen Mask on a regular basis

One of the best moisturising Gloves is Voesh Collagen Gloves. It’s full of Phyto Collagen (this type of Collagen helps with external environment like the Sun and Pollution). As well as Vitamin E and Peppermint

Why Collagen is so vital for our skin?

Basically it’s the stuff that holds our body together. It’s made up protein and elastin in your skin, muscles, tendons and bones.

As we age naturally our Collagen production slows down. By increasing your Collagen you help fight wrinkles and fine lines. At the end of your Collagen Manicure your hands will feel amazingly soft.

Starting with a basic manicure
file, shape, cuticle exfoliator,
exfoliating hand scrub

Having an Indian Head Massage is the most calming massage you will ever experience. Having your head and scalp massaged feels so soothing and calming. Putting you in relaxed and happy state

So what an Indian Head and Scalp Massage does is release all those good hormones. Like Dopamine which kinda makes you high and happy like a drug but only natural. Or Endorphins that totally soothe and relax you. Plus Serotonin which basically leaves you in a good mood like a natural anti-depressant.

Because you’re focusing so much on your beautiful head massage you start to clear your mind. Feeling more peaceful and even a little sleepy. As well as focusing on the upper back, shoulder, neck and head muscles. Also helps with Migraines, Headaches, Insomnia and Stress

What are the fantastic benefits?

If your suffering with Headaches or Migraines regular Indian Head Massage can help relieve the pressure. By focusing on Acupressure points and Massaging the neck and shoulder areas. Another beneficial Massage for Headaches is Chinese Cupping which also uses Acupressure but with suction cups

As well as helping with Anxiety, Stress, Depression and Insommia. When your stress levels are up Cortisol, Adrenaline and Norephrine hormones are increased. By massaging your scalp therefore increasing oxygen supply to the brain. This is the best way to decrease your stress levels and reduce anxiety.

As well as relieving back, shoulder and neck ache. Improves your concentration and memory level. Increases energy levels and improves circulation therefore detoxifying your body.

What’s in our Indian Head Massage Package?

If you’re feeling emotionally rundown and stressed out then this Massage is for you. Think of it like someone pressing your reset or refresh button.
