Spring Skin Detox

Spring is an ideal time to update your skin routine and to detoxify the skin.  Over the winter, we are typically exposed to cold and dry weather, comfort foods, and plenty of indoor pollution leaving our skin feeling rough, dry, depleted and congested.  Combined facial exfoliation and detoxification is one of the best ways to achieve  clear, healthy and glowing skin for a fresh start to a new season.

The best way to begin managing this problem is to start off with sapphire microdermabrasion to gently but thoroughly remove all the excess dead skin cells sitting at the surface of the skin.  Not only will this create smoother, softer and more refined skin; but it will also improve blood flow, which will allow products and treatments to absorb deeper into the skin and as a result be more effective.  After the microdermabrasion, a rich, detoxifying Canadian glacial clay mask is applied to the face and neck.  This mask draws out toxins and impurities while deeply infusing trace minerals and botanicals into the skin, giving the skin the nutrients it needs to help repair itself.

Following the detoxifying treatment, lymphatic drainage will take place to help the cells release any remaining accumulated toxins and fluids within the tissues and moves the toxic fluids to the lymph nodes, kidneys and liver to be processed and eliminated.  This procedure helps visibly helps reduce facial puffiness and fluid retention, most notably around the eyes.  Once the lymphatic drainage is complete, a relaxing and healing cold laser treatment will take place.  This cool light works to increase collagen production and stimulates the skin’s natural healing abilities, resulting in firm, clear and beautiful skin.
