Back posture and hot stone massage

POSTURE AND PAIN Many Roman Beauty clients suffer from back pain. Massage is a great way to relieve tension in your back, neck, and shoulders, but we've also got a few helpful tips below to try and help you get better posture and less pain TECHNOLOGY AND POSTURE Technology is such a huge part of our lives, but not many of us realise just how it can contribute to back pain. Hunching over your phone while texting or leaning forward to peer at your computer screen will all force your body into unnatural positions. Even cradling a telephone between our ear and shoulder can lead to neck strain if done for too long or too often. STRETCHING OUT If you find yourself constantly hunched over, try a few stretches such as chest stretches or gently lenghtening your neck upwards as you tuck in your chin. That will help stretch out all those muscles that have been locked tight without you even realising. Try to do some gentle stretching exercises every hour so that your muscles have a chance to relax. It need only be a few minutes at a time, but you'll really start to feel the benefits. If you go to the gym, planks, and bridges to give your tired muscles a healthy stretch. HOT STONE MASSAGE A regular massage will help release the tension in tired muscles, but if you find yourself in a lot of pain or if you suffer from migraines, then a heated stone massage might be just the thing. Heated stones have been used as an aid to massage for 5,000 years, employed by Hindus in India, the Chinese, and the Hawaiians who found that heated stones could assist in promoting whole-body relaxation At Roman Beauty, we use basalt stones because, in addition to heating well, basalt is said to possess healing properties. The warmed stones are placed along the spine under the energy chakras to help create balance within the body.   PRODUCT OF THE MONTH Treat yourself to a hot bath to warm and relax the muscles, and add an extra splash of indulgence with our Tahitian Vanilla and Coconut Luxury Bath Foam. We stock a wide range of Tropic products in the salon. Visit our website at http://www.romanbeauty.co.uk/products.htm for this product and more.

Warm your muscles with Hot Stone Therapy

KEEP WARM AND WONDERFUL It's definitely getting chillier, and we're all trying to seek out that extra bit of warmth. A massage is a wonderful way to get the blood flowing around your body, and the heated massage table we have at the salon means that you'll stay wonderfully toasty even as you relax. But if you want to chase away every last chill, then a hot stone massage is the perfect choice of treatment. WHY CHOOSE HOT STONES? A massage with hot stones is going to promote even greater relaxation than a regular massage. By placing warm stones at key points on the body, the heat from these stones will relax the targeted muscles to a greater extent and enable your therapist to work on muscles buried deep down. This has the advantage of releasing additional tension without any extra pressure. Furthermore, the heat from the stones helps the blood vessels to expand, promoting better circulation throughout the body. HOW DOES IT WORK? At Roman Beauty, we use basalt stones because, in addition to heating well, basalt is said to possess healing properties. We warm the stones in water and then place them along the spine under the energy chakras to help create balance within the body. When the massage is over, the stones are cleansed in saltwater and left to dry naturally to ensure maximum energy levels are maintained. ANCIENT TREATMENT, MODERN BENEFITS Heated stones have been used as an aid to massage for 5,000 years. The practice was initially called Ayurveda and was employed by Hindus in India. Later on, both the Chinese and the Hawaiians found that heated stones could assist in promoting whole-body relaxation Today, a hot stone massage can be used for those who suffer from chronic muscle pain such as arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome, as well as those who just want a more effective massage.  PRODUCT OF THE MONTH Treat yourself to a hot bath to warm and relax the muscles, and add an extra splash of indulgence with our Tahitian Vanilla and Coconut Luxury Bath Foam. We stock a wide range of Tropic products in the salon. Visit our website at http://www.romanbeauty.co.uk/products.htm for this product and more.

Prevent Dry Dehydrated Skin in Autumn 15 Oct 2019

KEEPING WARM IN AUTUMN October brings both cooler weather and a drop in humidity. When seasons change, you need to take extra care to ensure your skin remains in good condition. At this time, your body will also be trying to repair the damage done by exposure to UV rays and you'll need to take extra care to ensure you feel as healthy and energised as possible. JUMPERS - NOT RADIATORS As the weather gets colder, it's tempting to turn the radiators on - or up! However, that will result in dry, stale air both at home and in the workplace. This can result in itchy, dry skin for everyone and an increase in eczema for those who suffer from that particular condition. So, instead, try an extra jumper to keep you warm and be kind to your skin, and / or at least invest in some deeply nourishing skin products to give you that added extra hydration and moisture. DRINKING PLENTY In summer, we can't get enough water to cool us down and re-hydrate ourselves. But in autumn, we drink less, so our skin tries to get its moisture from oil production instead. To counteract this, make sure you drink plenty this autumn. Remember: those pumpkin spice coffees are very seasonal and tasty, but if you drink caffeine in large quantities, it can have a diuretic effect which is going to limit the amount of liquid you're absorbing. Not to mention all those calories! Indulge in that morning coffee-based treat, but for the rest of the day, keep calories down and hydration up by switching to just water. If you crave a bit of flavour, why not try an infusion bottle? If you want something hot to warm up those cold hands, try decaffeinated coffee instead, or perhaps green tea which is rich in antioxidants. Even just hot water with a slice of lemon in it is a great way to stay warm and hydrated. EAT WELL FOR GOOD SKIN As winter draws closer, our bodies naturally crave high-fat foods. Such a diet can result in an outbreak of spots, so try to regulate your cravings with healthy snacks and seasonal fruits and vegetables. Almonds, in particular, are not only filled with nutrients, but studies have found that they can make you feel full and stave off those cravings. Look at where you can incorporate more warming, nutritional foods such as warmed porridge oats, with milk, nuts, seeds, warmed fruit, and homemade soups, with lots of veg with your evening meal.  REDUCE STRESS BY TAKING SOME ME-TIME Stress can be a factor which contributes to eczema flare-ups, so be sure that you take some time out of your day to relax. And there's no better way to relax than by booking yourself a massage or treatment with Roman Beauty. Don't forget that we are offering a brilliant deal on facials in the run-up to Christmas to ensure you get regular pampering and don't neglect your self-care. Scroll down for more! PRODUCT OF THE MONTH This month we highly recommend the ABC Kit £54, which brings you a wealth of skincare products! Included in the kit is a FREE 50ml deep hydration mask worth £20. This kit also comes with a bamboo cloth and will provide you with the deep hydration and moisture your skin needs at this time of year. We stock a wide range of Tropic products in the salon.

Autumnal Skin Care October 2019

Hello To Our Valued Clients!
 October brings both cooler weather and a drop in humidity. When the seasons change, your skincare routine should change too.
At this time, your body will also be trying to repair the damage done by exposure to UV rays and you'll want to be preparing your skin for the winter ahead.
But don't worry! Below are some Roman Beauty top tips for great autumnal skin.

***And scroll down to check out our fabulous OCTOBER OFFER ON FACIALS for THREE sessions of pampering from now until Christmas!***

 

CLEANSING AND MOISTURISING
Skin is a barrier that protects us all, and if that barrier becomes broken, dry, and flaky, it can let in pollution, dirt, and other substances that are harmful to the body. With such an important role in our wellbeing, regular cleansing of your skin is going to be of the utmost importance. Without sweat to clean out those pores and give your skin a healthy glow, you have to give your skin a helping hand.
Once you've cleaned away the daily grime, it's time to ensure your skin is properly moisturised. In summer, you should be using a light moisturiser with plenty of UV protection. When autumn comes round, it's time for a slightly heavier moisturiser. However, although the UVB rays aren't as strong in autumn and winter months, they are still there, and UVA rays are present all year round, so ensure your moisturiser has an SPF rating.  
DON'T FORGET THE REST OF YOUR BODY!
It's tempting just to focus on a skincare routine for your face during the cold winter months. After all, your face is the bit that is permanently exposed.
But every part of your body is going to be feeling the effects of lower temperatures and humidity, so invest in a good body moisturiser. Applying it regularly will help ensure that your skin stays silky smooth - whether it's on show or not!

***Check out our PRODUCT OF THE MONTH for a lotion that's going to make you feel great inside and out***


TAKE CARE WHEN EXFOLIATING
Exfoliation is a great way to get rid of dead, flaky skin. However, with skin breaking down more as the cold weather draws in, do be careful how much you exfoliate; doing so too often can make skin conditions worse. If you have sensitive skin, aim for once a week or once a fortnight; for those with more tolerant skin, try and exfoliate a couple of times a week. If your skin is extremely sensitive, try a face cloth or mitt, which is likely to be gentler on your skin than an exfoliating product.
PAMPERING IS A MUST!
While a good skincare routine is going to help you immensely as the weather turns, booking yourself in for a salon treatment can give your skin and body that extra boost that it needs to stay healthy.

To achieve wonderfully glowing skin, why not book yourself in for either a Full Body Scrub & Massage or a Back Scrub & Massage? At 60 minutes and 30 minutes respectively, these treatments are both rejuvenating and relaxing.
Book yours here: http://www.romanbeauty.co.uk/bodyscrubs.htm
