What is GW Facial Therapy ?
GW Facial Therapy stands for Gorgeous Woman Facial Therapy , a 100 % natural plant based facial . This proven effective treatment combines the art of Japanese face lifting massage , with facial acupressure and anti-ageing facial reflexology along with a 12 step GW Skincare regimen based on carefully selected premium plant oils .
How was it developed ?
GW Facial Therapy was developed over almost 20 years by co-founder Anna Glasson . As a reflexologist and massage therapist , Anna always had a special interest in natural plant oils and natural facial therapies .
A synergy of ancient and modern facial techniques and plant oils
Anna knew beautiful skin is healthy skin . She spent many years meticulously studying and learning ancient and modern facial rejuvenation techniques from different countries . During this time Anna discovered there were many benefits for beauty , health , and wellbeing , that natural facials used in synergy with premium natural oils can provide .
This discovery led to further development of Anna ’ s skin care blends , using premium plant-based , organic oils , extracts and ingredients . Anna ’ s clients loved the hand blended products that she used in her treatments and would comment on how wonderful they felt on the skin , the positive results and how they loved the calming natural aromas . It wasn ’ t long before Anna was making extra products for the clients and their families and friends to purchase and use between treatments .
GW Facial Therapy was born
Anna found her facial techniques worked in perfect harmony with the carefully developed GW skincare range . The result was a truly restored , rejuvenated youthful appearance to the complexion and a release of stress and tension from body and mind and a feeling of energy and wellbeing . The results are instantly noticeable by the client resulting in repeat regular bookings .
What are the beauty benefits ?
GW Facial Therapy brings all the benefits of a natural facial . It gives clients a younger , firmer , smoother , plumper complexion with a truly radiant glow .
The synergy of the pure plant-based GW products , combined with facial acupressure , facial reflexology and face lifting massage techniques , smooths out wrinkles , improves skin tone and releases tension from muscles , while also lifting and toning facial muscles . An increase in circulation and blood flow increases hydration and nutrition of the cells , which in turn helps skin to become more resilient .
There is visible softening of fine lines and wrinkles and skin becomes plumper stronger and softer . As we work the techniques and oils deep into the dermal layers , production of collagen and elastin is increased in the reticular dermis . The face literally is lifted and toned and the jawline becomes more sculpted and defined . Puffiness , crows feet and bags around eyes improve along with lymphatic flow .
Often years of stress and worry can become etched deeply into the client ’ s face , along with permanent deep seated expression lines . Even after one treatment , many of these lines can be unlocked and released and ironed out . Of course , several treatments would be highly beneficial , but clients are often amazed at just how effective their first treatment is .
What are the health and wellness benefits ?
As GW Facial Therapy releases tight , tense muscles , particularly in the face , jaw and forehead , facial tension and pain in face , jaw and neck will release and chi energy flow will increase .
For sufferers of headaches , migraines and sinus problems , the GW Facial can bring enormous relief to clients . The treatment reduces stress , tension and anxiety in virtually all clients , and many will report increased energy and a sense of calmness and peace . Improved sleep can also be a benefit for many clients .
Is there a trend away from Botox and fillers ?
Many women nowadays are looking for a natural facial as opposed to a facial using chemical skincare , machines and other equipment . In the UK and Europe natural facial treatments have become very popular and in demand . As a result we have many Beauty therapists who have learned and are providing GW Facial Therapy treatments . The GW Facial is a natural alternative to botox and fillers and a monthly treatment will bring a revitalised , restored , healthier complexion to the client .
How did the online courses come about ?
In 2019 Anna was asked by colleagues and the beauty industry to share her knowledge . Anna held a number of very successful Master Classes for massage and beauty therapists and other practitioners between 2020 and 2022 . At Anna ’ s request classes were limited to a few courses each year
