Skip the Allergies: Facials Can Help Manage Sinusitis During Allergy Season

With spring in full swing, there’s more in the air than just a sense of change and renewal – pollen and the allergy season is also upon us and the resulting congestion and sinusitis can put a real dampener on your uplifted, spring spirit. Luckily, there is a rather unexpected and wonderful way to overcome those awful allergies: a facial! Yes indeed, a soothing deep-cleanse facial could be just what you need to help treat and manage your sinusitis this spring!

Along with a whole host of skin-boosting benefits, the ancient technique of deep-cleanse facial massage helps to fight sinusitis by reducing congestion and increasing circulation within your sinuses, as well as aiding the lymph nodes by removing sinusoidal debris. In the process of deep cleansing, the treatment also removes dead skin cells, firms skin and softens lines and wrinkles. If you’re in Cape Town, you can experience a divine deep cleanse facial treatment at the Heavenly Spa by Westin in the CBD.

“The sinus massage alleviates congestion in the sinus cavity while the lymphatic drainage massage stimulates the movement of the lymphatic fluid, and in turn helps the body to thin-out mucus. For those suffering from sinusitis this allergy season, one of these facial options will be an excellent choice,” says Victoria Sutcliffe, Spa Manager at Heavenly Spa.

During the treatment, you’ll experience an overall facial treat that targets the entire face and neck and includes a luxurious cleanse, steam, exfoliation, extraction, massage, mask and a final application of toner, serum, moisturiser, and sunscreen.
