We asked our spa therapists what has been our guests biggest concern this month? Here is what Tiffany T from Diva Northland noticed and recommends:
Tis the Season. The season is upon us, when brisk winds and dry heated buildings, slowly transition our skin into a dry and tight feeling shell. Many of us experience a feeling of general dryness, not only on our faces but our bodies as well. I’ve noticed a lot of my guests mentioning how itchy, flaky and down right frustrated they are dealing with their skin.
Be Aware of the Signs. In order to treat the symptoms of dry skin a good understanding of what the signs are can determine what Aveda products may be right for you. For instance, if you’re finding your skin flaky as well dry and tight, I recommend Aveda’s Tourmaline Charged Radiant Skin Refiner. Tourmaline mineral energizes; this clay-based scrub with cylinder bamboo beads lifts dry skin and exfoliates, leaving your skin radiant. This product can be used weekly, or as needed and pairs with Aveda’s Tourmaline Charged Mineral Hydrating Creme; hydrating and protecting, used daily this creme will leave your skin soft and optimally hydrated.
Feeling the Itch? When your skin feels tight and dry, give soothing relief with Aveda’s Intense Hydrating Masque. This masque cools and re-hydrates with moisturizing aloe, kelp and lavender ingredients. Increasing the skins moisture level is a sure defense against the elements. This oil-free masque can be used weekly, or as needed after cleansing and toning.
On a daily basis, to protect your skin from the elements try Aveda’s Inner Light Mineral Tinted Moisture Broad Spectrum SPF 15. Formulated with no parabens improves skin moisture upon application-and still hydrating after eight hours of wear. Providing light coverage it also acts as a great all-season foundation.
Scrub, Polish and Sooth. Body care for dry skin can be addressed with Aveda’s Smoothing Body Polish. Only a small amount needed, this finely ground walnut shell scrub will leave your body feeling soft and smooth. This product can be used as needed, and is recommended to be a regular item in your skin care regime. For those in need of relief from flaky, dry skin I recommend escaping the winter blues with the island-inspired scrub Aveda Carribean Therapy Body Scrub. This mixture contains skin softening cane sugar, conditioning coconut, avocado, and passion fruit oils. Take your senses away with an aroma of Lime, Vetiver and Amyris.
