Chi Yu Wellness Centre

The Chi Yu Wellness Centre in George Street, London, is a pleasure to visit. It opened six months ago. The first time I arrived feeling blocked and stiff and Mami Tsang the owner, gave me an integrated treatment combining a few different therapies, such as reflexology, remedial massage and acupressure. I came out dancing. A couple of weeks ago I returned for her chidoriya facial, which is exclusive to the Chi Yu Centre. It was heavenly and in the next few days, two friends noticed my smooth skin.  Before the facial my skin was dehydrated and dry, so Mami cleansed it with organic jojoba, grape seed oil and lavender and palmarosa essential oils. Then she gently exfoliated and softened my skin with rice bran wash which is rich in essential fatty acid and vitamin E. Afterwards she applied hot towels and then massaged my face with a blended oil of Japanese camellia, rosehip, calendula, frankincense and rose essential oils. My face was then toned and cooled with jade stone-rollers which also encourages lymphatic drainage. She made me a customized mask from a blend of calamine clay, rice bran, organic rose water and chamomile water, organic honey and Green tea matcha powder. While it was drying she massaged my neck and shoulders, which nearly sent me to sleep. My skin was toned with chidoriya’s peach moon herbal water and moisturized with chidoriya’s secret de geiko facial cream, containing organic shea butter, camellia oil, peach moon herbal water and rosewood essential oil. This is the kind of facial that I love, applied with care, and customized to each individual.   The uniforms and towels are made from bamboo fibre (60%-70%) and cotton and the salon recycle, use recycled and / or environmentally sustainable materials and products wherever possible.  I’ll be back. Sooner rather than later.
