Facialist & Trainer in Integrative Holistic Beauty

Mariona Vilanova is a professional facialist, creator of integrative facial massage rituals, and founder of a line of tools she calls “Vanity Jewels.” Her approach brings together health and beauty through a holistic lens, with deep respect for human anatomy and its capacity for regeneration.

Trained in techniques such as Kobido, lymphatic drainage, Ayurveda, Dien Chan, facial cupping, intraoral massage, and myofascial therapy, she has developed her own method that combines scientific knowledge, aesthetic sensitivity, and therapeutic intuition.

Her vision of beauty is deeply transformative: natural, sustainable, creative, and connected to the authenticity of each face. Anatomy is the foundation of her work, and massage is her language. Each treatment is a sensory experience that stimulates circulation, releases deep tension, tones the musculature, and promotes an internal balance that is reflected on the outside.

Mariona is also a trainer of professionals in advanced techniques such as the Intrabucal Lift Method or The Lifting Cups, which integrate deep work with a regenerative, therapeutic, and emotional approach. Her courses are based on respect for the body, rigorous anatomical study, and creative, personalized practice.

Which Henna Morena values do you identify with the most?

With the vision of returning hair to its natural language. Henna Morena represents respect for the body’s cycles, the healing power of nature, and self-love as the foundation of beauty. We share a philosophy of conscious care—free of aggression or imposed aesthetics—based on support, listening, and nourishment.

What is your personal ritual with Henna Morena products?

Coloring my hair with Henna Morena’s natural dyes has marked a before and after in the health of my hair. Since I started using them, it feels shinier, healthier, and visibly more youthful.

This ritual accompanies me every three weeks and goes far beyond color: it is a true beauty treatment. I enjoy it as deep self-care at home, where I connect with myself through the attention I give my hair.

The result is immediate: my hair looks spectacular right after applying it. And continuing to care for it with their nourishing oils makes the experience even more sensory. I love how they smell, how they feel… they are pure delight.

How has your hair changed since you started using Henna Morena?

Before, my hair was very fine, brittle, and prone to frizz. Since I began using plants, I feel that my hair has completely transformed. It’s stronger, fuller, more manageable… even a bit naturally straighter.

One of the most important changes is that it has stopped falling out as much, especially during stressful periods. Not only has its appearance improved, but also my relationship with it.

Do you have any advice or tips you’d like to share?

I love to turn the moment when I have the dye on my hair into a ritual. It’s more than just waiting for it to take effect—I turn it into a moment for myself.

While the henna works its magic, I stand in front of the mirror, apply a gentle facial exfoliant, and then give myself a facial self-massage with a good oil. It’s a simple but powerful gesture. When I rinse the henna out, not only does my hair look more beautiful… my face also reflects that same care. It’s as if both rituals nourish and enhance each other.

I also like to do this self-massage when I apply the nourishing oils from roots to ends: that way, while the hair is being nourished, the skin receives attention too.

Here I’m sharing my 3-minute daily facial self-massage, so you can start practicing while you pamper your hair:

How would you explain Henna Morena to a friend?

Henna Morena is a brand of natural, high-quality hair products. They work with dye plants and oils that truly care for the hair from roots to ends, without chemicals or toxins. What I like most is that they make the whole natural coloring process—which might seem complicated at first—very simple. They guide you with a clear, accessible step-by-step, even if you have no previous experience with plants. It’s very easy to follow.

They’ve transformed something that used to be artisanal and a bit uncertain into a modern, effective, and safe ritual. On top of that, the results are beautiful, and you can notice the improvement in your hair’s health from the very first application.

They also have a very coherent philosophy: they care for the body and for the planet. Their packaging, ingredients—everything is designed to be as sustainable as possible. It’s holistic care, from the inside out.

Which product do you recommend the most?

I’ve been really impressed by the Regenerating Night Serum. I followed the instructions exactly, applying it from mid-lengths to ends, and the result was spectacular. After washing, my hair was incredibly shiny, silky, and full of movement.

I feel that it truly nourishes deeply without weighing the hair down, and the best part is that you only need a small amount to see the effect. It’s a must-have for anyone who wants to restore the quality of their hair.

Which product would be essential if you had to go to a desert island?

The Walnut dye with Indigo. Without a doubt. I couldn’t live without it.
