Ishga Products for Facial Treatments
Table of Contents
Facials are one of the most popular spa treatments because they are immediately noticeable, very relaxing and can be customised in style or type. The Ishga facial spa treatment range (along with their complete range) is based on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. The company name ‘Ishga’ comes from the Gaelic word for water; as such, their products use organic seaweed and completely natural ingredients. The products are also 100% cruelty-free, vegan and free of animal testing. This article outlines different types of facial spa treatments and which Ishga products are most effective for each.
What are facial spa treatments?
There is a range of facial treatments available, from a facial cleanse to a more serious facial massage.
Mini facial
A quick treatment lasting 30-45 minutes, focusing on essential steps like cleansing and moisturising. These facials are usually a part of a bigger spa treatment.
Full facial
A comprehensive treatment that includes extractions, deep cleansing and specialised therapies.
Massage facial
Combines massage techniques with cleansing and hydration to promote relaxation and skin rejuvenation. Many people hold significant tension in their faces, which is why deep tissue and lymphatic drainage massages are on the rise.
What are the best Ishga facial products?
Many of these Ishga facial products contain similar natural ingredients (most notably seaweed), meaning they are all compatible with each other and have been extensively tested and trialled. Hence, they work for every skin type, including very sensitive skin.
Marine cleansing balm
Contains seaweed extract that has antioxidants and vitamins that help heal and regenerate skin cells, making the skin look healthier and cleaner. Additionally, it contains shea butter and carnauba wax, which are especially moisturising. Bergamot, rose geranium, patchouli and sweet almond oil are added essential oils that soothe the skin and add a great scent to the product. Equally, because it contains glycerin and geraniol, it is antimicrobial and antifungal and removes all dead skin without being drying. This balm is vegan and organic certified, making it suitable for all skin types.
Exfoliating face mask
Hebridean seaweed is a key ingredient in this mask, known for its exfoliating properties and high antioxidant content, which helps to smooth and brighten the skin. On top of this, rose geranium oil helps balance the skin’s natural oil production and minimises the appearance of enlarged pores. Natural cocoa butter and jojoba oil provide hydration and nourishment to the skin and calming bergamot oil adds a nice scent and offers soothing care for sensitive skin. Exfoliating removes the top layer of skin and any dead cells.
Marine toner
Similar to the other products, the marine toner contains Hebridean seaweed extract for its healing properties. The toner also contains Hebridean spring water and seawater, which are rich in vitamins and minerals that help the skin produce collagen and stay glowing and elastic. Red mandarin oil, aloe vera and cucumber all help soothe the skin, reducing redness and inflammation. Fucus serratus extract is known for its antioxidant and anti-ageing properties, which help reduce cell damage. Finally, glycerin and citrus reticulata peel oil add extra hydration and a refreshing effect.
Nourishing facial oil
The Ishga nourishing facial oil contains a blend of the Hebridean seaweed extract, cocoa butter and light jojoba oil. These ingredients combine to hydrate the skin without being so thick as to block pores. Additionally, it includes bergamot oil and Vitamin E, which brighten the skin, encourage cell turnover and provide a fresh scent. The oil is also enriched with rose geranium, known for its anti-inflammatory and skin-healing properties.
