Sto Face and Body Studio

Back in teacher mode yesterday and therapist mode today✨

I’ve allowed myself a little quiet time over Christmas hence why there’s been little activity here. But I’m excited to get back to a very well structured routine and help you slowly immerse yourself into a new year.

And what better way than with a wonderfully refreshing and relaxing facial, massage or reflexology! Each with the ability to restore vital energy as well as honour your mind and body’s needs.

I’d take any one of the treatments today if it meant I could maintain my festive routine of an afternoon snoozy snooze.

Which treatment would be your first choice today? Let me know in the comments.

Cosy beds that look messy are my favourite.

This may seem a strange thing to say but I can guarantee any therapist can vouch for this when I say it. Knowing your client has snuggled into a heated bed, encased in soft, fluffy towels and you’ve helped them drift off into the land of 💤 is the best feeling.

That and taking your bra off at the end of the day. That’s also a great feeling.

And we’re live!!

You asked .. I thought about it (more like obsessed over it) and decided, ok let’s get the wax pot… the tint… AND the LVL stock out and work some magic!

I am an absolute pushover clearly.

Anyway, they are all available to book online now!

Please be reminded that with any waxing, you need a MINIMUM of 2 weeks growth ( 3 weeks would be delightful!).
Patch tests are a legal requirement prior to ANY tint or lash lift. You can book this as a separate appointment but it must be at least 48hrs before your appointment.

Let’s get you feeling festive season ready! 🎄

I can already feel the winter chill slowly creeping in, so with that in mind, here are some of my tips to help improve your skin, mind and body health as it starts to get colder:

🥥Use a nourishing balm to cleanse your skin with. Even oily skins can do this. It will just help to maintain a little hydration on the skin and limit moisture being stripped.

🍂 Get outside as much as possible. I know it’s soooo tempting to stay in where it’s warm and you have endless tea in the mug, but take it out with you and expose your skin and nervous system to fresh air. Getting the blood moving through your body will not only help to circulate nutrients through your skin, but your brain will love the benefits too .. even after 15 minutes!

📱 Book a massage or a facial to allow you the chance to rest and look after yourself. The benefits of touch reduce those cortisol levels firing through your body, allowing you to feel rested and a sense of happiness.

💪🏻 Stretch those muscles. Whether it’s 5 or 20 minutes, spend some time each day doing some gentle stretches that awaken your body as well as opening those muscles up so it makes you feel stronger and ready to take the day on.

💦 Drink your water!! Our hydration needs are still the same in the winter, and where we drink lots more hot drinks that contain sugars and caffeine, our body doesn’t always get the adequate amount of water it needs to flush the toxins out. Aim for 2L but if that’s not doable, then start with 1L and build on it.

The only way you will notice improvements with your skin, muscle health or overall well-being is by implementing some positive habits that are simple, effective and prioritise your mind and body. 💫

The Skin Series by Rebecca at STO

Step 1 or 2 ~ 1st cleanse or 2nd cleanse

This is aimed at being your treatment cleanse, the one that focuses on your skin concerns such as hyper-pigmentation, acne and scarring, refining the texture, smoothing fine lines and increasing the overall brightness of the skin.

I use my treatment cleanser as my 1st cleanse in the AM, and my 2nd cleanse post make up removal in the evening.

When searching for the perfect treatment cleanser, try to avoid products that are hyped up on social media. A lot of the products on the market at present are either too highly concentrated, and without professional guidance you end up hating it because it’s irritated your skin, OR the product is weak and provides nothing but another type of make up removal.

Again, it’s not about spending a fortune BUT to get effective, long term results, especially once you reach your mid 30’s, you will need to invest in something specific.

My favourite is the Jan Marini Bioglycolic cleanser, which I stock as part of the Jan Marini facials I offer. It’s light, provides my skin with a smooth, bright appearance and it feels clean without over stripping.

If you’d like more info on this cleanser just pop me a DM and I can help you understand why it’s such a fab product to have in your bathroom! ✨

RRP ~ £41.50

Our Jan Marini Enzyme facials include a full skin analysis, an enzyme exfoliation that will chomp away at the dead layer of skin, renewing and improving dull complexions.

A treatment mask is applied that is tailored to your specific needs, whether it be hyper-pigmentation, dehydration, fine lines and wrinkles.

There are two options when booking the enzyme facial; 60min and 75min.
In both you receive a full décolleté, face and scalp massage, however if you’re really wanting that instant face lift, then the 75min includes a longer sculpting massage that will enhance the contours of your face and give you an immediate lifting effect.

Both availability to book online now and don’t forget ~ if you’re new to Sto, you can receive 10% off your first treatment! Just enter FIRST at booking 🍃

A salty scrub to smooth and soften the skin on your toes or your back ….

followed by a warming steam to decongest and relax…

with a nourishing blend of aromatherapy oils massaged in to the skin to help you drift off and restore your nervous system.

The Skin Series by Rebecca at STO

Step 1. Make-up remover / 1st cleanse

This is aimed at PM use however you could also use this product as your AM cleanse also. It very much depends on treatment you are giving your skin.

The aim of this cleanse is to simply clean the skin of any sweat, SPF, make up and bacteria build up.
You do not need a fancy cleanser for this step. The most important thing to remember is that a micellar water or face wipes won’t work as effectively as a gel, oil or balm at breaking down daily residue.

Focus on the type of product texture you like use and find a cheapy that you enjoy. I personally use Superdrug’s own basic cleansing balm which is under £10 and lasts months! I use a clean hot flannel to remove the product and then move on to Step 2.

By carrying out this step well, I know my other products will be able to work 10x better!

Do you use a separate cleanser for your make up removal?
