The magic mix—Spa Secret’s healing herbal facial revealed!
At Terrace Green Hotel’s Spa Secret we use a ‘living’ breathing face pack with powdered ingredients tailored to individual skin types.
Venivelgeta (Yellow Vine)
Often called ‘False Calumba,’ this is a cornerstone of Sri Lankan healing. It acts as a natural purifier, gently clearing the path for restoration without stripping the skin’s natural oils.
Turmeric & Chickpea Powder
A timeless duo. The chickpea powder provides a soft, grain-based exfoliation to lift away the day’s fatigue, while Turmeric brings its quiet, anti-inflammatory glow to the surface.
Kokum & Sevendara (Vetiver)
Kokum provides a cooling touch, while Sevendara—the oil of tranquility—is used for its grounding scent and ability to soothe heat in the skin.
The powders are mixed with pure bee honey, which binds moisture to the cells, and rose water, all of which offers a sensory transition into a state of calm.
Fresh Aloe Vera
This provides a cooling bridge between the deep cleansing and the final hydration.
The Opening: Cleansing and breathing
We begin with a gentle cleansing cream and rose water. This isn’t just about surface dirt; it’s an invitation for the guest to embrace the experience.
The Transformation: Rejuvenation and extraction
The 90-minute treatment includes meticulous extraction therapy to clear clogged pores, followed by an exfoliation using Venivelgeta and Chickpea, which allowing the skin to breathe again.
The Core: Marma point massage
Traditional oils stimulate specific Marma (energy) points on the face. This releases facial tension, stimulates lymphatic flow, and signals the nervous system to settle into deep rest.
The Seal: Herbal mask and glow serum
The treatment concludes with our face pack blended from the above ingredients, followed by a Glow Herbal Serum. This leaves the skin hydrated, balanced, and radiant—not through ‘magic’, but through natural Ayurveda healing!
