Scent Discovery e-Newsletter, Volume 6 : The Slimming Experience

Welcome back everyone! I always enjoy the festive season and I'm sure you feel the same way. I believe that you have had a wonderful holiday and you are now fresh and ready for 2009!

With Christmas and Chinese New Year barely 4 weeks apart, you must have enjoyed more than just great friends and good fun. Delicious festive specialties and yummy deserts are both our joy and our bane. I hope you had plenty of festive goodies, because now, we need all the happiness and energy to face yet another year.

As part of our overall wellness, besides massage and facials; slimming is one important part of our wellness regime. Many of my clients who are not overweight are still conscious of not having excess fats accumulate around specific areas like the tummy, thighs or arms. Besides exercising regularly, incorporating wellness therapies will help to tone your muscles and eliminate excess fats and toxins. In other words, slimming is not exclusively reserved for overweight people. Many people also do not realize this; a large part of slimming involves detoxification. We need to detoxify to eliminate excess fats and harmful material from our bodies on a regular basis.

Those of you, who have been following our newsletters, know about my journey of discovery through the wonderful world of massage therapy. One of the most interesting aspects of running Scent Discovery is combining various techniques and programs, then creating new and better programs for all our clients. I like to share with you one of our secret recipes for health and wellness at Scent Discovery.

Actually, it is not so much a secret as a discovery. You see, I have combined various massage techniques with the use of slimming oils, aromatherapy and a serum. This combination allows your body to benefit from the massage for improved circulation and relaxation. The slimming oil is incorporated to enhance the slimming effect before application of the serum and body wrap.

When you first start the treatment, you will be given a full body massage focusing on target areas (if requested). You can choose from the various massage techniques that we offer. The main difference is that instead of just the essential oils, slimming oil is incorporated into the mix. Massage helps to encourage blood flow, relaxes the muscles and optimises the slimming effects of the slimming serum.

To fully realise the benefits of this treatment, you can opt for a full body scrub as part of the overall therapy. This will remove dead skin cells and greatly improve the absorption of the slimming oils.

After the full body scrub and massage, we will apply slimming serum on your body. This layer of "body mask" is the main active part of the treatment in extracting the toxins, excess fats and oil from your body. You are then wrapped and kept warm. We will of course ensure that you are comfortable and the ambience at Scent Discovery is always relaxing and friendly.

The wrap will usually last 20 minutes and the entire procedure will take around 1.5 hours from start to finish.

The results have been very good. Many who have tried our version of slimming therapy are very satisfied with the benefits.

Now that the celebrations are over, it is a good time to deal with the excess accumulation. More importantly, Valentine's Day is coming soon. A simple combination of facials, spa treatment and a slimming therapy session will ensure that you are all primed up for the most romantic day of the year.


Yours faithfully,
