Massage and the Cold Season

We often get asked if it's a good idea to get a massage when you have a cold. If it's just starting we recommend waiting because a massage will just intensify the cold, bringing it on fast and furious. However, if you're near the middle or end of a cold a massage can help alleviate symptoms and speed up the healing process. Whether you're in spa or at home, there are certain essentials oils that can help. Tea tree oil and eucalyptus are highly disinfecting and can also help with sinus and chest congestion (as does peppermint). Lavender is soothing and great before bed while rosemary can help get you up in the morning. Remember: never use essential oils directly on your skin. Instead, dilute it with massage oil or cream. In a bath tub, 5-10 drops of oil is more than enough to have benefits without causing skin irritation. Children should be kept away from essential oils.

To Peel or Not to Peel?

One of the reasons so many women look older than their age is because they don't exfoliate properly or regularly. Alpha-hydroxy Acids (AHAs) are one of the most efficient ways to address numerous conditions of the skin including  the aging process (including fine lines and wrinkles), enlarged pores, uneven skin tone and pigmentation and scar tissue.. In spa clinical treatments are done once a week for four-six weeks (depending on the condition of the skin) this short protocol is a fantastic way to jumpstart your skin on its road to vitality. You will notice your skin will be softer, your pores will be refined and the color, texture and tone will improve. Your make up will go on smoother, your skin will be more responsive to treatment products and you will have an instant glow. While doing the clinical protocol clients need to be using an at-home AHA cream/gel. Daily sunscreen is recommended during treatment and suntan beds should be avoided.

Please advise your skincare professional if you are on medication -- topical or oral -- prior to getting treatments.

Itchy, Flaky and Tight Skin?

Stepping up your night time moisturizer to something richer and more nourishing can make all the difference to have hydrated, glowing skin. The harsh coldness of the outdoors and the increased dryness indoors from heating systems work together to dry your skin out. Take care of your skin by applying a thicker moisturizer after cleansing and see the difference such a small change can make!

Lock that Moisture In!

GM Collin's Ceramides are a fast, convenient way to lock in moisture and to protect against environmental stress. Each golden bead is filled with a dry oil complex that you apply after moisturizer. The oil absorbs within 30 seconds but your skin stays hydrated and protected. If your skin has been irritated or feeling the effects of winter Ceramides can help calm the irritation. They work for any skin type or condition! If you have oily skin, Ceramides can replace your moisturizer. Plus, the individual use capsules are perfect for traveling!

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.

Just a Friendly Reminder...

You can see it in the grocery stores, the malls and in the streets -- the holiday season is here! With the holidays coming sugar sweets, salty meals and perhaps just a little bit too much liquor (we're not judging!). This is just a friendly remind to DRINK WATER! Not only will it keep you hydrated, slow down your alcohol consumption and help you pace your meals, it'll also keep your skin healthy and hydrated. Who wants dry, flaky skin at the dinner table?!

Don't forget: sodas, liquor (duh!) and caffeinated beverages don't count! Unsweetened fruit juices (in small amounts), herbal teas and of course, plain water, are all great ways to get your 8 glasses of H20.

Holiday Gift Certificates

There are people in our lives who deserve a great gift but can be particularly hard to buy for (like that coworker who helped you out on that team project, or that lovable second cousin). Instead of getting them a meaningless trinket get them the gift of relaxation -- a spa gift certificate! Check out the post below for our special holiday offers. Or, make your own Holiday Package by checking out our extensive list of spa services. If you're unsure what to get, you can always get a dollar amount instead!
