facial faq

How often should I get a facial? (If you get facials on a regular basis, your esthetician can keep you informed of changes in your skin and new products that would be beneficial to you. A spa treatment with professional products is usually more potent and effective than what you would use at home to maintain the health of your skin.

Can I use makeup after a facial? (The answer is most likely “yes”, but ask your esthetician. At the very least, especially if you undergo a peel be sure to wear a high quality sun screen to ward off sun damage. Also, some mineral makeup bases are considered an extension of your skin care (example: Glo Minerals is one))

Does a facial help with acne? (Facials can treat the symptoms of acne, but are unlikely to prevent new acne from forming. Our spa offers acne facials that involve deep cleansing and extraction of whiteheads and blackheads.)

How often should I get a facial? (We recommend monthly facials along with occasional intense, deep cleansing facials. Your skin condition and how your skin responds to each facial will dictate how often you get a treatment.

Water is the main factor in looking younger, staying healthy, and the biggest bonus of all - losing weight!

More than two-thirds of your body weight is water; this liquid is just as important as oxygen for keeping you alive.Every cell tissue and organ depends on water to function. Water keeps your body alive by stabilizing its temperature, elimating toxins and waste products, carrying nutrients, and maintaining blood volume. Water is also the medium in which cell chemical reaction takes place. You could go for weeks without food, but you will live only a few days with no water.

There is a serious need to replenish your water supply constantly if you want to stay young, vital, and healthy. Even minor dehydration can trigger devastating internal reactions, such as:

Dehydrated body cells that age faster

Water retention due to high sodium levels (influence blood pressure)

Increased risk of bladder infection that could harm kidneys

Increased constipation

Decreased fat-burning

Diminished fuel for the brain

How much water do we need daily?

Minimum of “8 glasses a day”

More than 8 glasses a day if:

you exercise more

in hot weather

traveling by airplane

Don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink. A dry mouth is a sign of dehydration.
