Treatment focus: Bodicial number 1

Karin Herzog professional treatments have a reputation for achieving incredible results. This is one in a series of blog posts aimed at helping you find out which treatment would work best for you, and what results you can expect.

Bodicial Number 1: For acne, problematic & congested skin

True to our ethos of treating the face through the body, the Bodicial first treats, clears and stimulates the body’s natural lymphatic system.

This treatment incorporates a full body manual lymphatic drainage massage to help the body to naturally detoxify itself, which helps clear the bacteria from the face,  followed by our clinically proven oxygen therapy.

The fusion of the lymphatic massage and our world leading Pore Draw extraction facial, enables us to treat long-term problematic skin conditions and achieve unprecedented results. Breakouts are controlled and the skin begins a program of detoxification.

A series of treatments has the best effect, as results are cumulative: Clearing lymph of bacteria and skin of breakouts more and more with every visit on the path to clear and transformed skin.

Want to pressure wash your skin?

Ok, cleansing your skin is not the same as pressure washing your patio :),  but this simple routine will give you maximum lymph drainage and help to de-congest the skin.

The lymph drainage system is the body’s natural mechanism for toxin removal. Sometimes our system can be sluggish and toxin removal can be slow, this results in congested skin that can look grey, dull and lifeless, and even prone to break-outs. To stimulate the removal of these toxins, we need to increase the circulation and aid the flow of the waste product to the areas known as the lymph nodes.

We know that using the Karin Herzog oxygen products stimulates the circulation and the antiseptic effect of the oxygen kills bacteria formed in the layers of the skin, but you can promote even quicker results by practicing a simple procedure that will enhance the result of your oxygen cream and speed up lymph drainage.

Method:

(note, these movements should be done with your fingertips)

1. Apply a small amount of cleanser (either our Professional Cleanser, or Finest Chocolate) to the face and neck area.
2. Using light circular movements massage behind the ears and work in a downward motion down the neck. This will help relieve tension and and allow clear drainage. [repeat]
3. Move hands to the forehead, placing them at the centre, apply light but firm pressure as you part the hands out towards the sides of the head. You are draining toxins to the lymph node situated by the temples. [repeat]
4. Move the hands to the jaw line – move the fingers around the jaw bone applying pressure underneath in a pinching action, working out from behind the chin towards the ear and hold. [repeat]
5. Place fingers on the area between the nose and the upper lip, and apply pressure here, again drain the toxins out towards the base of the ear and hold. Do not forget the corners of the mouth.
6. Move the fingers to the eye, to the bone area below. Place the fingertips firmly around the orbital bone pushing the toxins towards the temples.
7. Place the hands horizontally either side of the nose – apply pressure removing toxins from the nose and cheeks to the temples.
8. Finally, reward the face with a sweeping continuous stroking action over the entire area.
9. Soak the Karin Herzog Face Silk in hot* water. Apply to the face, press and leave.
10. Soak the Silk again in hot* water and sweep over the face.
11. Splash cold water over the entire area.
12. Wring out the silk completely
13. Blot the face dry with the silk
14. Continue with the oxygen program.

* If you are prone to broken capillaries please use only tepid water, as heat may aggravate the condition.

The ultimate body cream for athletes AND everyone else!

Pure oxygen and fragrance free, our Oxygen Body 3% is a body cream with boundless uses, including helping athletes build and repair muscles.

Its self massaging effect creates a micro-massage of the tissues, as the oxygen is pushed into the skin stimulating the circulation, hydrating and softening.

Oxygen Body 3% helps athletes as it builds muscle during training for endurance and tone, neutralizes lactic acid and is invaluable for sores blisters and aches and pains whilst training and when running. And we know what we’re talking about, having had the product certified and passed by the International Olympic Committee.

The cream is also used by doctors to speed up the healing process; and can be used as a general and natural mild antiseptic cream. It combats the feeling of heavy legs and promotes healthy skin all over the body.

It’s also an efficient detoxifying cream and a skin disinfectant. At a time when pollution and infection are on the increase, it’s good to know there’s a natural and safe product that helps your skin AND keeps bacteria and infections at bay.

Oxygen Body 3% applied regularly to the lymph nodes on the body can help to cleanse and stimulate and so enhance this vital system, used by the body to manage and eliminate toxins.

Karin Herzog teams up with Jaeger

Last night we were at Jaeger’s flagship store on London’s Regent Street, at a special event for Jaeger’s top spending loyalty card customers!

A team of our top therapists from the amazing Ajala Spa (in the Grange Hotel, St Paul’s) offered the special guests a Karin Herzog Hand & Arm Massage, as seen in the picture above.  The therapists also gave a  fascinating demonstration of how our oxygen therapy works, (using Silhouette Cream), to show how the oxygen and water penetrates the skin and then travels beneath to heal and repair the surrounding area.

The lucky guests also got to take away a Karin Herzog goodie bag!

A fantastic evening was had by all, and we look forward to working with Jaeger again, plus other exciting partners in the near future. Watch this space for more information.
