Pregnancy is approached individually to the client and their needs. As a caution it's best in the first trimester to avoid and is better suited for the client during the second trimester. The table is adjusted to suit the client's needs and also the products I use may also be adjusted. I am thoroughly trained with what product ingredients you are able to use/avoid during pregnancy. Intra oral (buccal) massage cannot be done during pregnancy, if you would like further information about this, please contact me.
I HAVE ROSACEA. CAN I STILL HAVE A FACIAL MASSAGE?
In some instances, facial massage can improve rosacea, but it really depends on the severity of it and the area it's on. For instance, if it's on the nose then yes, as this area can be easily avoided. Please contact me if you're unsure.
I HAVE ACNE, CAN I STILL HAVE A FACIAL MASSAGE?
Facial massage will have amazing benefits if you experience intense breakouts, but if the pimples are inflamed at the time of your appointment, then this can cause discomfort during the treatment. Please reach out to discuss further.
I'VE HAD BOTOX AND FILLERS. AM I ABLE TO HAVE A FACIAL MASSAGE?
Yes! You sure can! You would just need to wait 4-5 weeks. The body naturally metabolises the Botulinum toxin after around 3-4 months, for some it's quicker. Facial massage will simply encourage your body to metabolise it quicker. If you have had fillers, depending on where you have had them, I would simply work superficially in these areas.
CAN MEN BENEFIT FROM FACIAL MASSAGE?
Yes definitely! They can experience the same amazing benefits too! If you have a beard it makes it difficult as I need to massage with the way the hair grows so I feel that you won't get the most out of your treatment so it's best suited for men who shave. In saying this, I do have male clients who have their treatment customised to include a neck and head massage.
WHAT IS THE SHELF LIFE OF THE MOON & STONE PRODUCTS?
6 months once opened. I do not add any preservatives. I have chosen ingredients that contain naturally occurring anti bacterial and anti microbial properties which increase their longevity. Also, each product is made in micro batches.
ARE ALL THE INGREDIENTS THAT YOU USE CERTIFIED ORGANIC? WHY IS YOUR BUSINESS NOT CERTIFIED ORGANIC?
Yes! Moon & Stone only sources certified organic ingredients. The notion to certify my business goes against what I believe to be true. That is, why should a business have to certify and pay to show that they use certified organic ingredients, but if a business wants to add toxic preservatives and fillers (among other things adding to our toxic load) they don't need to certify or pay for any certification. Moon & Stone is a non conforming business. I am always happy to provide where I source my ingredients from, reach out if you would like to know!
HOW IS MY BLUE OIL BLUE?
Two of the ingredients, German Blue Chamomile and Yarrow Blue have a high content of azulene which is a naturally occurring regenerative organic compound, responsible for the magical blue hue.
