Facial Massage Mastery Workshop

Afternoon of Self-Care: Facial Massage, Gua Sha & Facial Cupping — hands-on workshop with facialist Hafsa Issa-Salwe

Step into an indulgent afternoon of wellbeing designed to restore, sculpt and glow. Join Hafsa Issa-Salwe, facialist and skin expert, for a small, hands-on workshop where you’ll learn the pro tools and rituals that instantly calm, lift and brighten the face.

This is more than a class, it’s a restorative ritual. As you sip fragrant herbal teas and enjoy a selection of healthy snacks, you'll be guided through techniques facialists and other skin experts use in clinic to reduce puffiness, release tension and boost circulation:

• Lymphatic drainage to de-puff and decongest
• Facial sculpting & facial yoga to tone and lift naturally
• Gua sha technique — glide, sculpt and contour with confidence
• Facial cupping — a gentle, effective way to increase blood flow and build radiance
• Quick daily routines and myth-busting tips so you know what actually works and what doesn’t

You’ll practise each technique on yourself in a supportive, small-group setting so you leave confident to continue your ritual at home. Every attendee receives a curated goodie bag including a gua sha, facial cups, and a nourishing facial oil, the exact tools to keep your new routine going.

We’ll create a calm, intentional atmosphere: slow music and calming breathwork to centre the body and amplify results. Expect to leave feeling rested, taught, and glowing, with immediate, visible changes and the skills to maintain them.
