Lift Up & Deep relaxation Japanese Facial massage with “RUHAKU”

by kiyoraspa 23rd July 2019 No Comments

 

Since I started providing “Lift Up and Deep relaxation Japanese Facial massage”, I have been looking for the best facial products to meet my facial massage. And finally I found this wonderful facial products called “RUHAKU“.

 

RUHAKU is the first Ecocert certified organic anti-aging skincare brand from Okinawa in Japan, using the unique and strong antioxidant powers of the Gettou leaves. 

Okinawa is the fabulous island of Japan, and it is famous for its high life expectancy…. (Quoted from http://ruhaku.eu)

 

“RUHAKU’s desire is to help women regain a young and soft skin thanks to the plants coming from this exotic island.”

 

When I found RUHAKU and their concept, I thought that is what I would like to achieve through the treatment I provide… I was so excited and contacted the company immediately.

After I tried some samples and I love the texture and natural aroma.

And my skin loves it!!!

 

And now I am happy to announce upgrading my facial massage menu 🙂

This menu will be available from 1st of August with offer price as Kiyora’s 2nd anniversary offer!!!

Benefits of Beet Root Powder

by kiyoraspa 12th February 2019 No Comments

Now you can see many colourful alternative lattes in London. Gold, Blue, Black and Pink… Which one is your favorite? or you haven’t tried them yet? I tried them all and now my favorite is PINK latte 🙂

What makes this cute pink colour???

…Beet root powder!!!

Beetroot powder is rich in antioxidants, Vitamins A, B6 and C, proteins, dietary fiber, calcium, iron, potassium, folate and manganese, along with other nutrients. Perhaps most remarkably, beets are naturally rich in nitrate, compounds that can improve blood flow and lower blood pressure, leading to notable health benefits.

Some of the main benefits of beetroot powder include:

  • Supports healthy blood pressure because it contains nitrates that are vasodilators.
  • Improves athletic performance by boosting your stamina and muscle blood flow and recovery.
  • Regulates homocysteine as beetroot is high in betaine, converting homocysteine to methionine. High homocysteine is a risk factor for many diseases.
  • Improves blood sugar control.
  • Tremendous antioxidant that limits free radical damage in the body.
  • Supports healthy blood clotting factors.

Especially for people who are concerned about aging, rich antioxidants is important for our body to fight against free radical damage in the body!!

One teaspoon of the powder is equivalent to one beet. This has a natural sweet taste and slightly earthy flavor. I like the combination of this taste with oat milk. This fancy drink will help improve your beauty and health 🙂

Ayurveda

Ayurveda in Sri Lanka Day 1

by kiyoraspa 21st April 2018 2 Comments

My mission this year for myself is “treating myself well, making myself happy” to make everyone around me happy. No one wants to have  a massage from tired and low-energy person! Recently I had worked so hard and tired… so, I decided to go to Sri Lanka to have Ayurveda detox treatment 1 week…by myself!

 

I flew with Qatar Airways, it was my first time to fly with them and it was amazing flight! Food, entertainment and cabin attendant, everything was so great! I cried a lot with three movies… Emotional detox has already started.

 

This time I chose this accommodation.

Siddhalepa Ayurveda Resort

This big resort is alongside the beach, sometimes you can hear birds sing, sound of waves… just perfect to stay without nothing to do…

Relax!

Very clean bed!

Less than 1 minute walk to the beach!

 

I was told to have a consultation with a doctor tomorrow so I ate a lot without any food restriction. Yay!

Everything was so fresh! and basically not spicy and mild  but you can add some sambal to make it spicier.

After lunch, I attended a cooking demonstration session and the chef showed us how to cook fish curry and dal curry in Ayurvedic way. Basically any oil is not used to make Ayurvedic curry. The chef explained some spices and ingredients and started cooling. Basically he put dal or fish, a little bit of onion and spices and coconut milk in the end and stirred. So easy and it took just 5 minutes but it was so tasty and fresh! I now understand why Ayurvedic food is so light and easy for stomach.

The secret of a beauty ① Chewing well

by kiyoraspa 15th January 2018 1 Comment

I have read these books by Aoi Kinoshita, registered dietitian in Japan.

I knew what we eat and how to eat the most important for our health and beauty but I haven’t taken it seriously and have tried to do exercises and use many beauty products instead.

But now is the time to take it seriously and start to change my eating habit even though I don’t like cooking…

So I decided to start slowly, not dramatically.

①Chewing well

This sounds difficult for me. I eat so fast without chewing enough, especially when I eat by myself, my mind goes somewhere to think something, definitely not focus on eating and food.

I will chew at least 30 times each bite.

 

[Benefit of chewing well]

– A histamine is secreted by mastication and a histamine helps to break down visceral fat and also prevent to overeat to send a signal to satiety center.

– A saliva includes the hormone which has the benefit of anti-aging.

– Good to prevent a double chin.

 

To be continued….

Lift-Up Facial Massage Before / After

by kiyoraspa 30th November 2017 2 Comments

*After the first session.

Her face was small in any case before the session but her face has been visibly changed after the session. Her facial contour has been tightened and her facial expressions became more expressive as her facial muscles have been massaged and released.

 

This is the comment from her.

“Takaco’s massage was amazing! It was so relaxing and her consultation was also nice as she tried to understand my health problems and arranged the massage focused on resolving them. My face now has a healthy glow. It looks rejuvenated and bursting with happiness. The facial features are much more pronounced. Takaco showed me the photos of me before and after the massage and I looked like a different person. I highly recommend her massage.”

Hollywood Method Lift Up Facial massage

by kiyoraspa 14th November 2017 3 Comments

This manual facial method has been designed by Mr Koji Nishida, a Japanese Shiatsu Master in Los Angeles, originally for treating TMJ disorders (Temporo-Mandibular Joint disorders). We use special techniques to release tensions in the facial, neck and head muscles in order to enhance your personal features. This massage is very relaxing and as well as enhancing the shape of your face can also stimulate and encourage the natural healing power of your body.

 

Q. What is the difference between the Hollywood method and other lift up treatments?

A. Most aesthetic treatments focus on skin and lymphatic drainage, whereas the Hollywood method works on facial muscles and bones as well as the lymphatic system. By releasing tension in the facial muscle and correcting bone structure, the effects of this method could last longer than any other facial treatment.

 

Q. Is it painful ?

A. It is not painful. You may feel a little discomfort where your facial muscles are stiff or your lymphatic system is stagnated but that is all. This method is based on anatomy and physiology and is a safe treatment. We never use excessive pressure on your facial muscles and bone structure.

 

Enjoy a slimming facial massage with an overall tightening & lifting effect of the face and neck. The non-invasive method provides an eye-opening experience that will leave you feel rested!!
