1h30: The session continues on the front of the body beginning with the face, then the stomach, hands and legs.

The session ends with a sole reflexology exercise

Oils used

Macadamia virgin oil:

Macadamia trees originate from Australia. The fruit is harvested once it has fallen to the ground; its shell contains a kernel which is rich in oil (over 70%), calcium, phosphorus, proteins and vitamin B1. Macademia oil is a dry, odourless substance which is easily absorbed by the skin.

Argan virgin oil:

The argania tree is a native of Morocco. The highly nutritious oil extracted from its fruit has been used in cooking (dark oil with slight nutty flavour) and traditional medicine for centuries. Its high vitamin E content makes it ideal for body and hair care while its essential fatty acids help nourish dry skin.
