Mandarin Rose, a spa located on the 5th floor of the Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square, has added a new service to its menu: Japanese Zen Facial Massage. This Eastern anti-aging skin treatment considers the excesses and deficiencies in the body’s constitution and incorporates acupressure points with a unique massage technique.

The goal of the facial massage is to achieve harmony internally and externally and reveal one’s innate beauty by eliminating toxins and dispersing deficient chi (energy). The deeply relaxing repetition of gentle, light-pressure strokes is intended to firm and tone the skin, rebalance the impact of stress and tension lines, and eliminate or reduce headaches and sinus pressure. In addition, Mandarin Rose applies a uniquely formulated essential oil blend to address skin texture and sun damage.

According to spa owner Carla Saylor, a licensed massage therapist, the effects are cumulative. “We work with specific Chinese acupressure points and meridian lines on the face to amplify the results,” she comments. “The facial massage can be combined with a 50-minute full body massage to stimulate circulation and lymph movement throughout the entire body.”

Cost: $60 for 25-minute session. Location: 25 S. Queen St., Lancaster. For an appointment or more information, call 717-207-4076 or [email protected]
