⭐️⭐️ Radiant skin challenge day 7 - pause to reflect ⭐️⭐️

We are a week into the challenge and a week in to the year so this Sunday I invite you to reflect on the last week and see what comes up for you. Maybe do some journaling if you feel to.

If you’ve been trying to make changes things may have come up for you. Maybe you’re doing dry January and finding it hard or maybe you’re finding it empowering.

Maybe you’re trying to incorporate a new healthy habit and you’re noticing the benefits or maybe you’re finding it a struggle.

Whatever you are feeling, go easy on yourself. Changing habits takes time and January is not always the easiest time to embark on a new routine.

What I can promise though is that the tips I am sharing here are can have massive benefits to your skin, more so than any expensive skin products or procedures.

Next week I will be sharing some more specific tips to target problem areas ❤️

⭐️ Radiant skin challenge Day 3 - Get a sweat on!⭐️

As a facial therapist I probably shouldn’t admit this but one of THE most important factors I notice with my skin is whether I’ve moved my body.

Working up a sweat really helps to clear the lymphatic system and remove toxins. If you lift weights too this has a double benefit as maintaining muscle mass is really important as we get older.

If you exercise in a group there are added mental health benefits from being part of a supportive community, either in person or online.

Exercise also reduces stress and so can alleviate the tension we carry in our faces. Frowning is the main cause of the eleven lines between our eyebrows for example.

It doesn’t have to be gym classes though, find something you enjoy.. walking, swimming, dancing. Whatever makes you happiest ❤️❤️

And if you want to join an amazing online community check out my wonderful trainer who I have been with for nearly 4 years now 🙌🏼

I’ll be honest. I’m not feeling great about what I see in the mirror this morning. Late nights, rich foods, alcohol, less exercise, less time for my skincare. It’s all taken it’s toll and I’m feeling puffy and a bit washed out.

Are you feeling this too? Then join me on my January radiant skin challenge!

I don’t believe in putting unnecessary pressure on ourselves going into the new year but these are easy habits to get into and they make a difference.

💚 move your body, break a sweat if possible as this is great for clearing out toxins
💚 aim to drink at least 2l of water a day
💚 nourish yourself with as much antioxidant rich fresh fruit and vegetables as possible
💚 commit to doing one thing daily for your skin. This could be trying a new product, 10 mins of gua sha or face yoga / massage.

Take a photo of your face today and use it to benchmark any changes throughout the month. To support this challenge my ten minute gua sha and face yoga workouts are available for just £9, yours to keep for ever. I also have some amazing sale offers on my Tropic Skincare site, link in bio.

Who is joining me?

It’s here 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Sounds good huh? DM to order or shop via link in bio ❤️💫

I know it’s still October!! But I love these festive collections so much I thought it was time to share.

Themed around Peace, Love and Joy,
my favourite part is that they come with a crystal aromatherapy roller 💫

I’ll share them all this week but this is the Peace one. With an amethyst roller. So gorgeous.

Also contains magnesium So Sleepy body butter balm and So Sleepy pillow spray

I’m so excited to be returning to on Sunday 3rd December to run another facial self care workshop.

This time it will be with a festive twist! As well as learning some face yoga and gua sha moves to smooth away tension and lift, firm and tone the face we will also be making a frankincense facial oil to take home and keep!

Frankincense has a lovely relaxing aroma and is amazing for toning and lifting the skin and reducing the appearance of scars and blemishes. It’s also wonderfully festive.

So come and take some time for you before the chaos of the silly season descends! Link in comments 💫

This is so exciting! The worlds first certified natural retinal ❤️💫🔥

Working 10x faster than traditional retinol to reverse the visible signs of ageing.

Available to order hopefully mid October. Message me to be notified when it hits the shops 🙏🏼❤️

A little bit about me…

I’ve always been fascinated by people, magic and healing.

📜 I have a BSc in Psychology

💫 I qualified in acupuncture in 2008 and did 5 weeks clinical experience in a Chinese hospital. A fascinating and humbling experience.

👩‍👧‍👧 When my second son was born I stopped practicing but always missed helping people.

💆🏻‍♀️ in 2019 I learnt sports massage, pregnancy massage and became a doula. In 2020 I learnt womb massage and reiki.

❤️ in 2021 I went on a one day face massage course and fell in love. I loved how deep a state of relaxation it induces. I loved seeing how much tension we carry in our faces, and how radiant we looked afterwards.

⭐️ the following day I attended a gua sha workshop as part of a one day event and fell in love again. As soon as I held the Gua Sha crystal tool my hands seemed to know what to do.

I’m passionate about working with faces, but it’s much more than that for me. Balancing energy, restoring inner harmony and rediscovering your inner glow. That’s what fires me up 🔥🔥🔥

I’m so excited to be running an in person facial self care workshop next Sunday 17th at , a beautiful venue on the Dorset / Devon border.

This will be a wonderfully nurturing session designed to reset the nervous system after the hectic days of summer.

The morning will include face yoga, massage, acupressure and gua sha techniques to lift, firm and sculpt the face, as well as relaxing and calming the mind.

There are only a couple of spaces left. Link in bio to book 🙏🏼⭐️

September is here!! Despite having an August birthday, September is one of my favourite months. I love that fresh start, back to school feeling where anything feels possible, and I am a total autumnophile (I checked and apparently yes that is a word!) 🍂

A busy month for me this month with a kids birthday, my husband’s 50th, and an amazing facial self care workshop in Devon on 17th (still a few spaces left, link in bio).

I also have one bespoke facial treatment slot left in Frome at 2pm on 9th, DM me to grab it 🙌🏼

How about you, are you a September lover or hater?

We celebrate 16 years of marriage today👰🏻💍

Last week at my sister’s engagement party the guests were asked to share the secrets of a long and happy marriage.

In truth I don’t feel qualified to answer. However, we have been through A LOT in 16 years, 3 kids, a bereavement, 6 house moves, a pandemic and some very challenging times financially, and we are still together so I guess that means we are doing something right!!

Happy anniversary I love you ❤️❤️❤️

🎶 = our first dance for extra cheesiness 😂

Tropic Sun Day facial UV defence is such a godsend when camping on a sunny day ☀️

It is light and easily absorbed and contains hyaluronic acid to keep your skin hydrated and banana flower extract to calm the skin. The mini size is only £10 too! 💚🍃

Our little rituals are important aren’t they? It doesn’t have to be something elaborate, for me even the coffee I have every morning between the crazy of the school run and starting my working day is a moment of calm and sanctuary that I cherish ☕️

A ten minute facial self care routine is another opportunity at the end of the day to take some time for yourself, to ease away the tension of the day and regulate the nervous system, promoting a restful night’s sleep 😴

Warning though, you may find it addictive, and a known side effect is firmed, lifted and radiant skin 😊

You can find the videos to purchase in my shop or in my bio 💫

I’m running this lovely event in East Devon in September. Do come along, you can make a day of it by the sea 🌊

We have a lovely little self care pick me up for the September start of term.

Sari Day is an experienced holistic practitioner with a passion for non toxic non invasive skincare.

She’s going to do a workshop to combine face yoga and the use of gua sha crystal tools to lift and firm the face, boosting microcirculation and promoting a deep feeling of relaxation. These are also little self care techniques that you can fit into your daily life.

I love my gua sha which I use with a botanical natural face oil (I’m going to post a little reel of how I use mine shortly) and I know how much it is both a relaxing self care tool and which makes a different to your skin, as well as helping lymphatic drainage.

Face yoga/massage and Gua sha workshop

Sunday 17th September 11am-12.30pm

£20

Book here: https://www.highgrangedevon.com/high-grange-events/face-yoga-massage-and-gua-sha-workshop-sunday-17th-september-11am-1230pm

Did you know you can book me for events? Perfect for a hen do, baby shower or any well-being event 💆🏻‍♀️👰‍♀️🤰🏻💫

The facial self care workshop can be structured to suit your day with various lengths and options available. I can guarantee you will all come away feeling relaxed, refreshed and radiant with a new set of techniques to use at home.

Just send me a direct message to start planning a fabulous session. I can travel up to two hours in any direction so can get to London or down as far as Cornwall and pretty much everywhere in between.

We all have those little areas that our eyes are drawn to when we see our reflection. For me it’s definitely my frown lines, elevens or the term I recently heard which I love, my WTF lines. These things run deep!!

They’re made worse by:

Squinting, frowning, dehydration.

I find they improve the most with:

Face yoga, cupping, kinesiology taping (I’m not trained in this but I’m using it at home and it seems powerful), gua sha.

If this is an area that you would like help with feel free to send me a message. Or indeed for any other area that you’d like to work on.

This is your friendly reminder to drink more water today! It’s hot out there. Your skin will thank you 😊

Availability between now and school hols.

World Ocean Day but mainly an excuse to dig out one of my favourite photos / memories.

We had the most special evening but then drove off and forgot all 3 pairs of shoes until we were 20 minutes away. Turned back and were very lucky the tide hadn’t got them!

Six years ago now and they are all very different. But beside the sea is still the place we are all happiest 🌊❤️

It’s the little details that make all the difference. At Rebekka has really thought of everything to create a beautiful space for you to relax and unwind.

Low lighting, underfloor heating, beautiful essential oils diffusing, it’s the perfect space. I then add my own little bit of crystal magic to give you a blissful hour, while I work on your skin, smoothing, lifting and firming with my magical tools and powerful plant based skincare products.

As an added bonus you will get 10% off at the shop on the day of your treatment!

I’m available most Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays and would love to see you there ❤️

My ‘Radiant and Rejuvenated’ tailored one to one tutorial allows me to help you wherever you are in the world.

If you're struggling with saggy skin, jowls, puffiness, frown or forehead lines, dark eyes or lines around the mouth this is for you.

When repeated regularly, these techniques will give you visibly lifted, more radiant, smooth and sculpted skin.

This is a tailored tutorial combining face yoga, gua sha or facial cupping to lift and firm the face, boosting microcirculation and promoting a deep feeling of relaxation.

You will receive the recording so you can repeat your tailored routine for maximum benefit.
