Blueberry Soy Slimming Body Wrap – How Delicous!

It’s a cold day in January, fresh snow is blowing outside and your bones can’t seem to warm up. Your New Years Resolution also includes getting back into a healthy state. It might be time for a body wrap. A body wrap is designed to make you sweat! As you sweat, impurities are pulled from the body. It’s an amazing treatment to have after having a baby to help with unwanted water weight or to help kick any weight loss endeavour you might be having.

The treatment is done in one of the esthetics’ room where we have a heated blanket placed on the bed. You will get a light hand exfoliation then the Eminence Organic Wrap Blueberry Soy Slimming Wrap is applied. This delicious wrap improves elasticity, increases circulation, hydrates the skin and reinforces collagen fibres to make the skin firmer and stronger.
You will then get wrapped in plastic and the heated blanket. You lay in the wrap for roughly 25-30 min. (We don’t recommend this service for someone who is claustrophobic.) After your sweat session, a refreshing shower to rinse off and then back on the bed to get a light hydrating moisturizer applied all over the body. You will leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

A Body Wrap is usually done on its own as it’s a very relaxing service. We recommend this service every two months, or every time the season changes. After your service, remember to drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration and replace the impure fluids you have lost with clean water.

The Body Polish

What is a body polish?

That is the # 1 question we get asked.

A body polish is a full body exfoliation using our Eminence Organic sugar scrub. Raw sugar cane produces a natural alpha-hydroxy acid, which increases the thickness of the deeper layers of skin to promote firmness. Sugar scrubs gently exfoliate and slough off dead skin cells, and reveal a layer of soft, smooth, moisturized skin that has been hidden underneath.  Exfoliating also helps prevent body acne and may also help you avoid ingrown hairs by preventing dead skin cells from plugging up follicles where you shaved, sugared, or waxed. It will also help even out skin tone.

Our treatment is done in a room with a shower so the sugar scrub can easily be rinsed off after application. After, you get to hop back into the warm, comfy bed, while we apply a moisturizing organic body lotion.

The body polish can be done on its own or paired nicely with a massage. The body polish will be stimulating,  where a massage will calm you down. It’s best to do a body polish every two months, or every time the season changes. It’s important to exfoliate your skin at home in between polishes so your skin will stay smooth and will help in regenerating. Get polishing!

We recommend using a sugar scrub days prior to sugaring or waxing, as well as while the new hair is growing in to help prevent in-growns. Eminence Organics creates a number of sugar scrub flavours to suit every appetite including Blueberry Soy, Mimosa, Cranberry Pomegranate, and Apricot. Eminence Organic Sugar Scrubs can be purchased for at home use in our spa. 

Monthly Facials A Must!

Ever wonder why your skin feels amazing when you leave your Esthetician? Your skin feels smooth, hydrated and you have that “glow” about you? There’s a reason!

Our skin takes a beating everyday with the environment around us. Weather, pollution, medication, age, hormones, pregnancy & stress are all factors that can cause quick & intense changes in our skin. These can suck the moisture and life right out of you! Going for facials monthly allows you and your esthetician to work together and support your skin as is goes through its daily battles. Monthly facials help with exfoliation and thus absorption of your skin care products. This leads to improved texture & complexion. The increased circulation & stimulation will help with collagen production and help minimize the effects of aging. Specialized acne treatments will help with breakouts and blemishes.

 

    Having a facial is just as important as having your vehicle tuned or your hair colored. You need professional skin care maintenance. Your esthetician can notify you of skin conditions you weren’t even aware you had,  such as your hydration status and how sensitive your skin actually is. We can educate you about your actual skin type and what to look for in products.

 

    You may think you are only coming in for relaxation but the conversation you take part in at the beginning and ending of your facial tells us your expectations, what you actually do at home and what results YOU want to see. Now, relax and let us take care of you. After spending the hour with your face, let us talk to you about what your skin could benefit from.

  Just as your vehicle gets a tune up at the change of the seasons (from winter tires to summer tires) your face needs that tune up, too.   Having a daily regime at home is very important, but incorporating a monthly facial will help the regeneration of your skin. Bottom line facials are a wonderful and refreshing experience! Even if the money is tight and you cant manage the once a month routine, try and get a facial every time the season changes. Now book your facial today so we can get you on the right track to beautiful, healthy, glowing skin!
