Afro-Inspired Skincare: Why Our Skin Deserves Its Own Spotlight For too long, African skin has been treated like an afterthought in the beauty world — but no more. Afro-inspired skincare is changing the game. Rooted in nature, tradition, and science, it’s a celebration of melanin-rich beauty and holistic healing. At FL Aesthetic Clinic Beauty and Health in Cape Town, we believe your skin deserves more than just care — it deserves recognition, love, and a treatment plan that speaks your language. 🌿 What Makes Afro Skincare Different? Afro skincare isn’t about following Western trends — it’s about honoring the uniqueness of Black and Brown skin. We use natural African ingredients like moringa, rooibos, shea butter, and African black soap to soothe, nourish, and protect. These ingredients respect melanin and support deep healing. 💛 The Benefits for Melanin-Rich Skin Helps fade dark marks gently and effectively Balances oil and moisture naturally ...
Manual Lymphatic Drainage vs. Swedish Massage Therapy: What’s the Difference?
Understanding the difference between Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) and Swedish Massage helps you choose the right therapy for your wellness goals.
What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)?
MLD is a gentle therapeutic massage that encourages lymph fluid flow. It helps reduce swelling, supports recovery after surgery, and removes toxins from the body.
- Immune boost & reduced swelling
- Detoxification support
- Ideal for post-op care & fluid retention
What is Swedish Massage?
Swedish Massage uses long strokes, kneading, and tapping to relieve muscle tension and improve circulation. It’s perfect for relaxation and stress reduction.
- Stress relief & improved mood
- Enhanced circulation
- Relieves muscle soreness
MLD vs. Swedish Massage: Comparison Table
| Aspect | MLD | Swedish |
|---|---|---|
| Target | Lymphatic system | Muscles |
| Pressure | Very light | Light to medium |
