Donate to the Women's Shelter

I wrote about this recently, but I think it's such a wonderful idea it deserves it's own post. At Skindulgence we believe in giving back. We decided to combine our philanthropy with our passion: introducing clients to the fabulous skincare lines we carry, GM Collin and Yonka.

When you bring in any two (2) products from another skincare line that are at least half full, we will donate them on your behalf to the Women's Shelter. In return, you'll receive 10% off when you purchase up to two skincare products of your choice! Bring in three (3) or more products and receive 15% off when you purchase up to three skincare products.

Instead of throwing out that moisturizer that didn't hydrate your skin enough or that cleanser that just didn't do the trick, why not do something good for your community (and yourself)? Skindulgence and the Women's Shelter thank you for your generation donation and support.

Sincerely,

Skindulgence

Galvanic Spa Treatment

At Skindulgence we have established ourselves as leaders in non-invasive age management solutions and we are always on the look out for new technology and products that will help you live well and age well!

The Galvanic Technology has been around for decades in the Spa industry, especially in Europe, but the machines were cumbersome to use. Luckily, with the new handheld device the power of Galvanic is easy to use and the results on the skin are dramatic! Skindulgence is proud to introduce The Galvanic Spa Treatment to our clients! You can do it as an add-on to super charge the results of your spa treatment or you can buy the machine and use it at home for progressive results! The Galvanic Spa Treatment does not replace your facials or daily skincare regimen, but was created to further enhance the penetration and effectiveness of your products and treatments by up to 70%!

So, how does it work? The patented hand held device uses low level galvanic (electric) current to transport key nutrients to the skin that dramatically smooth the wrinkles and lift the skin. It also improves the cleansing, hydration and circulation. The galvanic system only works with specially charged positive and negative products that were created to be used with the device. We will have the handheld device in the spa by the end of March so call to book your introductory offer today!

Seeing is believing. Our Spa Director, Tazeem Jamal, had half of her face treated last week and even though she has healthy skin she noticed a difference:
"I noticed that the smile lines around my mouth diminished and that my skin was less oily. Bonus! My coworker (who knew nothing about the Galvanic treatment) noticed my skin looked brighter. I am really looking forward to using the machine at home."

As an add-on to a clinical facial it will be offered at:
$49 (reg $59) for the face only

$69 (reg $ 79) for face and neck
$79 (reg $99) for face, neck and back of hands

We are certain you will be thrilled with the results! Try it today and see the amazing results for yourself!

Call us to book your appointment 604.469.2688 or to find out more information.

Sincerely,

Vitamin C and Antioxidants Fast Facts

Have you had your daily dose of Vitamin C today? Vitamin C is an essential vitamin that our bodies don't produce on its own so we all need to supplement it internally. Externally for our skin, GM Collin has created the Sea "C" Spa Clinical Facial Treatment. This decadent facial helps to brighten and clarify the skin while reducing fine lines and externally hydrating and brightening. Vitamin C internally and externally is a great antioxidant that cleanses toxins from the cells/skin to promote healthy cell renewal to "beautify" the skin.

Antioxidants come in 2 varieties: primary and secondary. Most of us think of an antioxidant as an antioxidant, but there is a huge difference between them. A secondary antioxidant removes a free radical and is used up in the process. A primary antioxidant is not used up in the reaction to remove free radicals and can remove millions more than a secondary antioxidant! SOD is a primary antioxidant that can be found in the GliSODin Skin Nutrients products that are new to Skindulgence! These internal supplements melt the years off your face and make you feel fantastic thanks to the many proven health benefits. Each formula has 500mg of SOD (Their patented super-antioxidant!) and is catered to your skins different needs. Prevention is the key and is less expensive then surgery. Don't hesitate to take advantage of our current promotions on both the Vitamin C and the GliSODin.

What is a Free Radical?

To begin we need to understand that the body is made up of many cells, that are made up of molecules, that are made up of atoms. Within these atoms are protons that lie within the nucleus of the atom and electrons that lie within the inner and outer shell. In a normal, stable atom the protons and electrons are of equal number. Atoms tend to look for this equilibrium by joining up with other atoms. However, when two weak atoms join and then split they can be left with an odd number of electrons making for a very unstable atom. The unstable atom then attacks the nearest stable atom and "steals" an electron leaving the previously stable on the hunt for another electron. This creates a change reaction that results in a disruption of the living cell. Note that sometimes the body creates free radicals to neutralize viruses and bacteria which is great, but when they get out of hand that's when they start damaging your body.

Free radicals cause cancer and heart disease and slowly destroy you from the inside out. The best way to combat them is by loading up on antioxidants. Plenty of foods contain antioxidants such as berries,broccoli, tomatoes, red grapes, garlic, spinach, tea (both black and green work), carrots and soy.

However sometimes it can be hard to get all of these food into your diet. There are products on the market that tout incredible antioxidant abilities but many don't hold up to their claims. GliSODin Skin Nutrients has had tremendous results both on a global scale and right here in the spa (our personal Skindulgence reviews of the GliSODin products will be presented on the GliSODin webpage shortly!).
