A Gentle Cleansing Facial for Women, with a Slow Face and Head Massage

Some days your skin doesn’t need correcting. It needs care, and you need to slow down.

This facial starts with a deep double cleanse that removes makeup and the day. A soft exfoliation and a balancing toner leave your skin fresh and ready for the massage.

Then comes the facial massage: slow, gentle strokes with natural jojoba oil on your face, neck and scalp. Light lymphatic techniques ease puffiness while your whole body relaxes.

I finish with a nourishing mask, peptide and hyaluronic serums, and calming aloe vera. Your skin feels soft, clean and hydrated.

Want more time? The 90-minute session gives you a longer, slower facial massage.

A Soft, Gentle Touch

What Are The Benefits Of A Relaxing Facial Massage?

A relaxing facial isn't just a nice extra. Gentle face, head and scalp massage produce measurable changes in stress, tension and how your skin feels. Here's what research shows.

☾

Less Anxiety, Calmer Mood

A study of 32 healthy women found that a 45-minute facial massage significantly reduced anxiety and negative mood.

In practice: you leave lighter than you arrived.

↓

Lower Stress Hormones

In female office workers, regular 15 to 25-minute scalp massages lowered the stress hormones cortisol and norepinephrine, as well as blood pressure.

In practice: your head and your nervous system slow down.

◯

Release Face & Jaw Tension

In a trial with 20 women with tension in their jaw muscles, one session of facial massage significantly reduced pain sensitivity.

In practice: a softer jaw and a more relaxed expression.

❖

Soft, Hydrated Skin

In a clinical study, a hyaluronic acid serum increased skin hydration by 55%, with smoother, plumper-looking skin.

In practice: clean skin that feels soft and comfortable.

What Does Your Cleansing & Relaxing Facial Massage Include

Every relaxing facial I give women in Amsterdam follows a five-star spa protocol, but never a script. I read your skin first, then I choose the pressure, the products and the timing for what your face needs that day.

Step 1

Skin Reading & Check-In

We talk about your skin, any allergies and how you feel today. Then you lie down and let go.

Step 2

Double Oil Cleanse

A gentle cleansing oil removes makeup and the day, then a second cleanse leaves your skin truly clean.

Step 3

Soft Exfoliation

A very light exfoliation, only if your skin needs it, to leave it smooth and fresh.

Step 4

Balancing Toner

A soothing rice toner balances your skin and prepares it for the facial massage.

Step 5

Slow Facial Massage

Gentle strokes with natural jojoba oil and soft lymphatic techniques on your face and neck. Longer and slower in the 90-minute session.

Step 6

Warm Towels

Warm towels lift away the oil and leave your skin clean and ready for the mask.

Step 7

Nourishing Mask & Scalp Massage

A creamy rice mask softens your skin while I massage your neck and scalp.

Step 8

Peptide & Hyaluronic Serums

Two serums pressed in with soft facial massage, for firm, deeply hydrated skin.

Step 9

Aloe Vera & Hand Massage

Calming aloe vera massaged in until your skin absorbs it, with a slow hand massage.

Step 10

Sun Protection & Aftercare

A finishing cream with sun protection, plus simple tips to keep your skin calm at home.

Stop Wasting Money on “Relaxing” Facials That Don’t Relax You

I'm a massage therapist, and I book facials too. I know how it feels to book a relaxing facial in Amsterdam and leave with red skin and a busy mind.

Have you ever had a facial like this?

✕You wanted calm, and got harsh scrubs, steam and extractions.
✕You left with red, irritated skin.
✕The session felt rushed, and you never really switched off.
✕You spent most of it alone under a mask.
✕It ended with a sales pitch for creams.

You can avoid all of this with me

✓Gentle from start to finish. A slow double oil cleanse, no harsh scrubs, no extractions.
✓Face, neck and scalp. Slow, light strokes that relax your face and quiet your mind.
✓Never alone. While your mask works, I massage your neck and scalp, and I finish with a hand massage.
✓The pressure you feel good with. Soft and unhurried, never tugging at your skin.
✓No sales pitch. You leave with clean, calm skin and a quiet mind, not a bag of creams.

Buy cheap, pay twice.

Stop wasting your money. Paying cheap often means paying twice.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went in with tired, swollen feet after a week of walking around the city and booked a reflexology massage on impulse. She worked every point without ever rushing, and I could feel the tension leaving with each breath. Best part? I slept through the whole night after, which never happens to me. Worth every minute!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One of the best neck and shoulder massages I ever received! I came in with muscles that felt like cement, and left with my upper body feeling nice and loose like jello :) I really appreciate that she took all her time and skills to work through all my knots, and and really help to relieve the tightness. Thank you so much!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was my first time at Dracel's studio. The massage brought me relief and was pleasant. She is a very attentive professional who focused on exactly what I needed. She also explained what might have caused my shoulder blade pain and gave me advice on how to prevent further back pain. The studio is also very beautiful and relaxing. I recommend it!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing! I expected just a relaxing massage, but it felt more like a therapeutic treatment.

She focused on the areas that really needed attention—my back, shoulders, and jaw. After the session, I felt such a huge difference. My body was so much more relaxed, my shoulders felt lighter, and even my jaw tension improved.

I also really appreciated that she's sending me exercises to help improve my posture. Dracel is skilled, caring, and truly wants to help you feel better. Highly recommend!

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

−

What's the difference between the Cleansing & Relaxing Facial and the Hydrating & Anti-Aging Facial?

The Cleansing & Relaxing Facial focuses on a deep double cleanse and a slow, gentle face and head massage. It's made for women who want clean, calm skin and time to switch off. The Hydrating & Anti-Aging Facial focuses on deep hydration, firming serums and a sculpting face massage. Both are 60 or 90 minutes.

Do you do extractions in this facial?

No. This facial is gentle from start to finish. I cleanse your skin deeply with oil and a second cleanse, but I don't squeeze or extract.

Should I come with makeup on?

It's best to come with a clean face, so we have more time for the massage. If you come straight from work with makeup on, don't worry. I remove it gently at the start.

Should I book 60 or 90 minutes?

Both sessions include the full facial. The 90-minute session gives you a longer, slower face, neck and scalp massage. If you want to truly switch off, I recommend 90 minutes.

How often should I have a cleansing facial?

Once a month works well for most women. It follows your skin's natural renewal cycle and keeps your skin clean and balanced.

Can I have this facial if I'm pregnant?

No, I don't offer facials or massages to pregnant women, at any stage of pregnancy. My treatment beds aren't designed for the positioning pregnancy requires.

What is your cancellation policy?

Payment is always made before your session. From the Netherlands, you can pay by Tikkie or bank transfer; from abroad, by bank transfer only. I send you the details on WhatsApp when I confirm your booking. If you cancel 24 hours or more before your session, I refund your payment. With less than 24 hours' notice, even by a few minutes, I can't refund it, for any reason, because your room is already reserved for you. If you arrive late, I always try to add the lost minutes at no extra cost. If I have another client right after you, the late minutes come off your session time.
