Exfoliate. Exfoliate. Exfoliate!

The heaters are cranked, the fire is blazing and the air is getting drier inside our homes. If you've noticed your skin feeling tight and itchy or your skin absorbs moisturizer in an instant it's time to exfoliate. Exfoliating is the best way to slough off dead skin cells and to create an even surface for applying skincare products and make up. At home we recommend using an enzyme based exfoliant -- they are the most effective and the least reactive, especially compared to granular scrubs. We recommend using an enzyme based exfoliant 2-3 times a week. If you come into the spa we highly recommend getting a series of AHA treatments. AHA stands for Alpha Hydroxy Acid. These treatments will remove all of the dead skin cells and leave your skin bright, rejuvenated and healthy.

Don't forget that the skin on your body needs love to! GM Collin's Body Exfoliation is a perfect choice. Prior to showering mix the body exfoliant with a small amount of water and rub into your skin in circular motions. Rinse off the emulsion in the shower to reveal silky smooth skin. Apply a moisturizing body lotion to keep your skin hydrated and soft.
