What does your face say about your health?

Being a Licensed Esthetician I've come to learn. When there’s a bodily imbalance, it’s said that the skin will show this via pimples, redness, or dryness. The location of these blemishes on the face supposedly represent the organ that’s affected.

The eyes never lie and the face tells all. It is true that the eyes are the window to the soul and according to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the face is the map which decodes the mind, body, and soul’s silent language.

Everything is connected and our skin is the largest organ in the body. What TCM understands that Western Medicine fails to is that our bodies work in the same way. What affects one organ affects the other, what affects one system ultimately affects the whole of the body.

SKIN DETOXIFIER

75 minutes $160

Modern living exposes you to UV damage, pollution and blue light radiation - all of which wreak havoc on healthy skin. Under normal circumstances, the lymphatic system can efficiently clear out waste and toxins, helping to keep the damage under control. This is a very detailed - oriented facial that focuses on ridding the skin of pollution and stresses that congest the pores and age the skin. Prepare for detoxification and purification with dual exfoliation and masks. All pores are examined and what needs to be extracted will be with the most gentlest approach.

Powerful Professional Ingredients used:

(important for anyone with allergies to the following)

Mushrooms

One skin care ingredient that is getting plenty of buzz (and for good reason) is mushroom. Mushrooms are adaptogens - a type of plant that helps the body adapt to changes and restore balance. Reishi mushroom is one of the most famous. With more than 400 bio-active compounds, this mushroom has powerful regenerative, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that are beneficial for the body and skin.

Microgreens

Another favorite is microgreens. These miniature plants, which include broccoli, radish and clover sprouts, harbor four to six times more nutrients than more mature plant varieties. They are brimming with vitamins and minerals that boost skin - and body - health. All of these nutrients are extremely important for skin, eyes and fighting cancer and have all sorts of benefits associated with them.

Birch Water

Birch trees contain this powerhouse sap packed with electrolytes, flavonoids, amino acids, proteins, enzymes and vitamins. The “nature’s sports drink” for its ability to replenish the skin and optimize its health. Consumed as a beverage in northern Europe and China for centuries, birch water can now be found in skin care products due to its powerful hydrating and antioxidant properties.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is well-known for its countless skin care benefits. This potent antioxidant is essential for the growth, development and repair of all body tissues - including the skin. Natalie tells us: “Vitamin C is an incredibly effective nutrient for your body and an all-around savior for skin care. It’s been found to help prevent UV damage, reduce pigmentation, reduce inflammation and boost collagen production in skin.” Since the body cannot produce it on its own, one of the best ways to deliver Vitamin C benefits is through topical skin care.

Clay

Clay is another skin care ingredient that has powerful detoxifying properties. Clays help to detoxify the skin and draw out impurities and oil from its surface. You can think of clay like a magnet: Its negatively charged particles attract positively charged impurities such as toxins and bacteria and pull them from pores. For clients who are struggling with oily or acne-prone skin, this ingredient can work wonders to clear impurities from their complexions.

DRY SKIN BRUSHING

45 mins $40.00

Can be performed prior to a massage treatment or as a single session.

Everyone can benefit from full body dry brushing. This amazing health and beauty routine has been practiced for years in Eastern Medicine. Variations of skin brushing have been practiced for thousands of years, across many different cultures. In traditional Ayurvedic medicine, it is referred to as Garshana. Full body dry brushing is a simple treatment that can have amazing health benefits. It can remove impurities from your skin and improve circulation in your body. The treatment involves a thorough brushing of the skin all over your body using a clean brush with firm, natural bristles. During the treatment I will brush your skin with sweeping and sometimes circular motions, beginning at your feet and working in the direction of your heart.

The treatment requires a firm touch in order to receive the benefits; however it should not be painful. Similar to a full body massage, you should feel free to advise if you prefer a gentler or firmer touch. I appreciate having the chance to adapt the treatment to your specific needs and preferences. Immediately after treatment, your skin will feel alive and invigorated. You will also notice that your skin is softer to the touch, due to the exfoliating effects of the body brushing. The more you repeat the treatment, the more benefits you will receive. Body brushing can help to stimulate various processes in the body that will improve your overall health. Session will end with an organic green tea body spritz.

Benefits include:

Promotes circulation and improves blood flow to all parts of your body
Stimulates glands to keep churning out oils and hormones, which will help your skin become properly moisturized and detoxify your body
Increases lymphatic flow to move fluids within your internal systems, absorbing various toxins and flushing them out of the body

Tightens skin and reduces the appearance of cellulite
