I was so excited to see facialist Abigail James at the Lomax in Chelsea recently—that I went a week before my appointment. As expected, she was already completely full for the day and unable to squeeze me in. So there I was, embarrassed but reassured of my appointment for the following week.
This time on the right day, I was greeted by the lovely Abigail—a mum of three who exudes a youthful glow. Abigail is a renowned facialist who uses only natural and organic products. I was particularly excited by the fact that one of the product lines she uses is hard to find American brand Dr. Alkaitis. She firmly believes that results can be achieved with natural based products, and that living in harmony with nature will have beneficial long term effects on our health and skin.
As this was my first treatment with her, she needed to assess how my skin would react to the products, so we opted for a more holistic and calming facial. The experience was blissful, I rarely fall asleep, but nearly did with Abigail. In addition to the regular techniques most use, Abigail also employs a kneading motion which left my skin plump and glowing.
Her facials don’t stop with your skin. I’ve been told by other therapists that I have hyper sensitive skin, Abigail was the first to say that my skin actually doesn’t seem to know what it’s doing and appears confused. Her theory was refreshing. She felt the root of the problem is probably more to do with digestion which is manifesting itself as hyper-sensitive. Since seeing her I’ve cut down on the sugar, started taking the supplements she recommended and already notice a difference.
I look forward to my next visit…
