Treating yourself to this ritual is especially important in the cooler months of the year, providing hydration and restoring moisture to your skin, giving you a natural and healthy glow.

So, what are you waiting for? Book a trip to Daylesford and the Macedon Ranges and take your pick from one of the region’s many spa and wellness venues. Here’s a little taster of some of the facials you can choose from. 

Geisha Facial

Shizuka Ryokan
The Geisha Facial at Shizuka Ryokan draws on the beauty rituals used by Japanese women for hundreds of years, which were elevated to an art form by the Geisha. This unique facial utilises white tea, lotus root, camellia oil, yamamomo mountain peach, brown sugar, bamboo and, the most precious ingredient of all – nightingale droppings (sterilised by UV light, the droppings contain precious natural enzymes that smooth and lighten the skin). Acupressure on the face and legs is also included, along with an aromatic massage of the neck, shoulders, decolletage and head.
