When I was in college I was introduced to what I call my “Fat Face.” Yes, Fat Face… FF

I’ve always had profound cheeks but when I binge drank my face would bloat up! Over time I became very self conscious of it and the way I looked. Since I worked in a gym, I’d train so hard with friends that were personal trainers and drank tons of green tea.

With age those constant party days died down (I swear I’m still fun) but the FF would reappear after long flights. Rather than getting self conscious (I’m only human) I began to learn what works best for my body to prevent/get rid of it.

Aside from cardio, jade roller, a sauna sesh., green tea, and lemon water my new favorite is a Lymphatic Facial.

Benefits: Lymphatic Facials are great procedures for detoxing, strengthening your immune system and of course your skin. There are many Lymph Points & Acupuncture Points on your face that can benefit your entire body.

When to get a Lymphatic Facial: Our bodies tend to swell and build lymphatic fluid after traveling, drinking and changes of season (climates). In addition, it’s great for those with ongoing kidney issues as the lymphatic system drains waste from our bodies.

The Lymphatic Facial: Ada, Aesthetician and Founder of Kensington Skincare & MedSpa Clinic performed her lymphatic facial on me. Essentially she massaged my face to reduce  lymphatic fluid blockage and pushed toxins to my lymph nodes which eliminates it from the body.

Here’s a breakdown of the facial..

• First Ada analyzed my chakras and skin based on the lymph points combined with acupressure points.
• She decided on a treatment concentrating on the matte reflexes of the skin and also the stomach as I hold a lot emotional energy there that can create a lymphatic blockage effect. Apparently, this blockage creates heat on my head which is affecting my  sleep- which makes sense because I can’t sleep!
• I have been breaking out constantly on the lower portion of my face, specifically the chin. So when looking at the above facial chart it made sense that Ada focused massaging on the large intestine. Apparently what I’m eating and/or constipation is causes my skin breakouts.
• Next Ada detoxed my kidneys with a massage around the core balance, to help with the tired and dry skin around the eyes.  Thank you!

After the treatment,  the “Fat Face” had already vanished.  I was recommend to drink a lot of water, avoid alcohol 24 hours and get as much sleep as possible.

If you’re in London, do consider getting the Hollywood Lymphatic Facial with Ada at Kensington Skincare & MedSpa ! You wont regret it!
