Let's talk facial treatments! I get the questions: "how can I improve my skin and get rid of my clogged pores" often. I always recommend being consistent with skin care at home because it is key to keeping the skin looking its best. 

Another tool for your healthy skin toolbox is to get a facial treatment!

Professional skin care therapists can treat your skin at a deeper level and help extract impacted skin. So let's start with the basics. 

What is a Facial?

A facial is usually performed by an esthetician who can analyze your skin under a magnifying lamp, feel what conditions you are dealing with and help treat the skin. Typically the following steps take place:

1. Cleanse (sometimes with steam)
2. Analyze/Exfoliate (extractions if needed)
3. Massage
4. Mask/treat
5. Finish with products and SPF (if day time)

Where do you get them? 

Facials can be performed in salons, spas, resort spas and medical centers. 

• Spa vs medical spa/center- Medical centers may or may not offer traditional facial treatments, some have estheticians on staff. A medical center will offer treatments such as lasers, injections/fillers and those treatments are performed by a doctor or nurse. 

How often do I get a facial?

In a perfect world we can receive a facial every 4-6 weeks. Not everyone has the luxury to do this so I recommend treating your skin at home in between getting treatments. 

In this era of COVID life, we not able to get out for our regular treatments and even if the spas have opened, many clients are not feeling comfortable getting a treatment.

This is why our TREATMENT at home facial was created! Not only does it help you keep your skin looking its best, it also gives you the feel of being pampered and brining that spa experience to your home.  

What does it come with?

1. REBOOT restorative oil 
2. REPAIR toner travel size
3. NEW Watermelon Mask
4. Facial Mask Bruch
5. Facial Spa Sponge
6. Step by step directions and pressure point massage

Because of the beautiful presentation of this kit it also makes a great gift.

Valentines Day is coming up and I wanted to share a few ideas for fun and unique gift ideas. Giving the gift of self-care and pampering is one of my favorite ways to show my love and I also love receiving this type of a thoughtful gift.

For Men: 

Men are not different than women in that they need to use the right products for their skin type. One thing I have noticed with the male clients I have is that like to keep it simple.

I started my husband with just one product to keep his routine super quick and simple. The REPAIR toner is perfect for soothing mens skin after shaving and keeping the skin hydrated if they are not using anything at the moment,  this is a great product to start with. 

For your BFF:

While I was single, I loved gifting my best friend or 'Gal'entine a special gift and having a fun girls night to celebrate Valentines Day.

The TREATMENT is the perfect gift to pamper your BFF and allow him or her to relax with an at-home facial! Make it even more fun and do the TREATMENT together! 

For yourself:

Don't forget about you! A special way to incorporate facial massage on yourself is to use a Gua Sha tool. Using the gua sha on a nightly basis has been an amazing ritual and I am loving the results I am seeing. 

It is always by my side when I watch TV and I love how relaxed and ready for bed I feel after using it. I also love to use this tool on my kids, they absolutely love it and request it before bed! 

Pairing this with our REBOOT restorative oil helps the tool glide smoothly and the oil has a beautiful aroma to add to the experience. 

Whether you have a partner or your single, I hope you enjoy this Valentines Day!
