You're getting ready to
start your day when you notice that a pimple, or even several pimples, have
sprung up overnight. Or maybe skin problems are a common occurrence. Either
way, you're bummed. But there are products available to clear breakouts quickly
and keep your skin clear. We can also help with professional treatments for
stubborn cases or to clear your skin before a special occasion.
At Home Treatments
The main strategy for keeping your skin clear is keeping it clean. For daily
care, wash with gentle soap or cleanser suited for your type of skin - dry,
oily or normal, and warm, not hot water. Gently apply cleanser with your
fingers, rinse, and then finish with moisturizer. Repeat the same routine to
remove makeup before going to bed.
Exfoliate once or twice per week with a scrub or skin polishing instrument, but
use a light touch. Consider skipping the polishing instrument for sensitive or
dry skin. Salicylic and glycolic acids fade dark spots, while benzyl peroxide
kills acne-causing bacteria.
Resist the temptation to squeeze pimples or blackheads. You can permanently
scar your skin or cause blocked pores to become infected if you aren't careful.
Home extraction tools aren't recommended either - leave pimple extraction to
us.
Professional Spa Treatments
Although the most stubborn breakouts are best treated by a dermatologist, as
skin care specialists, we have treatments at our disposal that may not be
available to you. For instance, we can clear blocked pores with professional
microdermabrasion, or administer chemical peels that are stronger than what you
can obtain over the counter. We can also perform comedo extractions, which is a
fancy way of saying we can get rid of that ugly pimple on your face without
damaging your skin.
Whatever your skin problem, your regular care and our help as needed can get
your skin clear and keep your skin clear. If problems do occur, they are more
likely to be minor. In time, skin problems may become a distant memory.

Every
mom deserves a little pampering. If you're looking for a few gift ideas for
your mom -- look no further. Treating your mom to spa services doesn't have to
break the bank. Look at these three
affordable treats for that special woman in your life.
Facial
A facial is like a massage for the face. This treatment exfoliates the
skin, leaving it fresh and youthful looking. A facial is a great gift for a
first time spa goer. It's a good way to introduce your mom to the relaxing spa
atmosphere, but repeat customers love facials too. They typically last about 30
minutes and most spas offer a variety of facials to select from.
Mani-pedi
A manicure and pedicure combo is always a great gift. This gift is
more than just a coat of polish. By selecting a deluxe package your mom gets
pampered with foot massages, soothing lotions and stylish nails.
Massage
If you're willing to spend a little more money, a massage is the way
to go. An hour-long massage will turn your mom into a whole new woman. She can
check her stress at the door and let our skilled therapist wipe away the tension
trapped in her body. Don't be overwhelmed by the variety of massages offered,
just ask our specialist what's best for your mom. No matter what massage you choose, your mom won't be disappointed.
Of course, you can always go for a gift card. This way your mom can pick her
preferred method of pampering. When in doubt, just ask us. We are here to help. Give us a call at and we'd be more than happy to make a few suggestions.

Flowers and a card are wonderful
ideas for Mother's Day, but doesn't your mom deserve more? Juggling household
duties, caring for her family and holding down a part-time or full-time job can
leave marks in the form of facial lines, washed out complexion, ragged nails or
rough neglected feet. Why not treat your mother to the pleasure of your company
and a shared spa getaway? Whether your budget is strictly limited or
money is no object, we have packages available that allow you to bond with your
Mom while she receives the pampering that she surely deserves.
If your budget is limited or both you and your Mom have tight schedules,
packing up and going away for a week or ten days might not be realistic. But an afternoon retreat can make a real difference
in your Mom's state of mind, as well as give her looks a boost. Best of all,
you can plan the mini getaway as a surprise.
Begin your joint pampering session with a soothing wrap or an invigorating salt glow to draw impurities from arms, legs and torso. A professional head
to toe massage can ease away tension for both you and your mother. A chair
massage can ease neck and shoulder tensions without the need to disrobe.
Compare nail colors and enjoy refreshments in advance of joint
mani-pedi treatments. You'll both emerge with hands and feet show-off-ready for
showy rings or strappy heels. Or you and Mom can relax and dish while our
esthetician gives you and your mom exfoliating treatments to cleanse away
debris, dead skin and embedded blemishes.
Whether you and your mother spend a relaxing hour away or duck out of your
routines for an afternoon, a shared spa getaway is an ideal way to let
your mother know how much she means to you. You'll have uninterrupted time to
spend together and she'll have someone waiting on her for a change. Call us at to schedule an appointment today.
