3 trendy massages in a row
Would you like to try a whole new massage? Then the chocolate massage, honey massage and silk massage might be something for you! Let yourself be pampered with cocoa butter, honey or silk cocoons.
Chocolate massage
Treatment: a relaxation massage of the body with heated cocoa butter.
The chocolate massage is on the rise and has been called the ‘sweetest indulgence’ since the massage. The natural components of cocoa have a positive influence on body and mind.
Cocoa contains theobromine, which increases the levels of serotonin and endorphins in the body. Serotonin is your body’s own antidepressant and endorphins, as a happiness hormone, promote general relaxation and have a pain suppressing effect.
A mixture of cocoa and cocoa butter has been developed for the chocolate massage. In addition to theobromine, cocoa also contains natural antioxidants, which have a positive effect on blood circulation in the body (it has a vasodilator effect).
In addition, cocoa butter has an effective soothing, nourishing, moisturizing, protective and restorative effect. And perhaps even more important: cocoa slows down the aging process because its natural ingredients break down cells in the skin counteract. This makes the chocolate massage a blessing for all skin types; from young to old.
During the massage, the heated cocoa butter is distributed over the skin. This creates a chocolate-soft skin under the massaging hands. A magical experience, where you enjoy chocolate without having to think about the calories.
honey massage
Treatment: first a scrub with honey scrub and then a relaxation massage of the body with heated honey massage oil.
Honey has a purifying effect. It has been used in the past to treat medical ailments such as burns and ulcers. Honey contains various sugars, minerals and trace elements, which care for and nourish the skin. That is why honey drops are also called golden drops.
It is therefore not surprising that honey is still widely used today, including in massages. The honey massage cleanses, refreshes and soothes the skin.
In addition, honey has an antibacterial effect. Has your skin become dry from exposure to the Sun or indoor heating, the nourishing ingredients are perfect to give your body a boost.
The same goes for stressed, non-elastic skin, because honey re-energizes not only the body but also the mind. After the treatment, the skin is smooth, tight and wonderfully soft with a beautiful shine.
Silk massage
Treatment: a facial scrub with silk cocoons and a relaxation massage of the body with herbs and silk cloth.
When you think of silk, you probably think of luxury and that is exactly what the silk massage is. The treatment consists of a facial treatment and a body massage.
The face is scrubbed with silk cocoons (a kind of thimble) containing the substance sericin. This adhesive binds, as it were, the dead skin cells to the cocoon and at the same time has a moisturizing effect. The amino acids in sericin slow down and strengthen the skin aging process immune system.
The body massage is performed with a silk stamp. These sticks with a pouch of herbs wrapped in silk at the ends have a healing effect on the body.
The proteins that make up silk are identical to those of the skin. The basic protein of silk, fibroin, is good for the firmness and elasticity of the skin, which is why it is widely used in cosmetic products.
Finally, a relaxing ritual follows with a silk cloth that gently glides over the body.
The treatment is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. This is because the silk thread consists of long smooth fibres, which means that the sensitive skin is not or hardly stressed. In people with skin conditions such as eczema silk promotes the healing process.
