Oh, we’re not! A sumptuous treatment from THÉMAÉ is the perfect solution to tired, sluggish or dull skin, due to its hydrating and rejuvenating effects. Here at Suite Six, this holistic line “celebrates the tea benefits and brings them into the heart of each formula in the precious Complexe des 4 Thes”, which is present in each product from the nourishing Parisian line.
Some interesting facts to steep over:
The tea plant has over 30% of polyphenols and contains antioxidants 200 times more potent than vitamin E. Thus, tea actively contributes to slowing signs of aging by neutralizing the free radicals that break down collagen and elastin. The tea extracts are sourced from Rooibos, black, white and green teas. They promote anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and soothing benefits, among other qualities.
The spring water that is used to formulate THÉMAÉ’s products is very pure and sourced from a deep spring in the south-west of France. This lightly mineralized water helps preserve the properties of the tea extracts by maintaining the polyphenols integrity. There are also trace elements like calcium and magnesium, which help to promote cell renewal and protect the skin against early aging, induced by stress.
To commence the luxurious facial, make-up and impurities are first removed with THÉMAÉ’s Face & Eye Make-Up Remover, which is blended with soothing red tea and aloe. A second cleanse follows using THÉMAÉ’s Daily Detox Foaming Gel, with the accompaniment of cleansing brushes, serving to gently deep cleanse the skin and promote microcirculation. Your complexion is then exfoliated with THÉMAÉ’s Gentle Facial Exfoliant, containing finely ground rice powder and macadamia nut oil, to exfoliate dead cells and impurities, and also brighten.
Next, a Ridoki roller, of Vietnamese origin, is used to activate pressure points and stimulate areas of the face to improve the skin’s elasticity and smooth out wrinkles. It is amazingly energizing to the complexion, nerves and disposition. A relaxing facial massage, using a tea-infused dry oil, follows before THÉMAÉ’s creamy Detox Face Mask is applied. This blissful blend serves to draw out toxins, excess oils, and impurities. Its intoxicating scent of floral, rose and sea will calm your senses and soothe your mind. While the roobios, kaolin and lipine flower infused treatment nourishes, your hands and arms are treated to a relaxing massage using the Baume des Quatre Thes. This rich, hydrating balm is enhanced with the rejuvenating properties of black tea and hemp oil. It smells delectable, with rich, fragrant traces of vanilla, floral and musk.
To complete the facial, the delicate eye area is energized and invigorated with THÉMAÉ’s Soothing Eye Cream, containing soy and squalene to plump and moisturize, while the rest of the face is protected with THÉMAÉ’s Serum Multi-actif, an anti-aging serum that provides an immediate lifting and toning effect. Lastly, a moisturizer specific to your needs is lavishly applied.
Your skin will be glowing, hydrated and energized, with a calmed spirit to match. Afternoon tea has taken on a whole new meaning. Let us take care of you. Told you we wouldn’t tease.
