Welcome Autumn!

Welcome Autumn!

Less than two weeks ago we officially entered the Autumn season! A change in seasons also means a change in personal care routine. Fall is indeed one of my favorite times of year! The air is crisp and fresh, and there is a sense of new beginnings. But along with this season’s change also come changes with our complexions. Between the shift to dryer, dehydrating weather and stress from back-to-school/back-to-work adjustments, our skin and bodies are easily devitalized. This is why so many facial clients experience skin imbalances during autumn such as; dry patches, flakiness, and eczema flare ups. Luckily, there are many facial treatments available at DESUAR Spa that our skin can benefit from to autumn-proof our skin like our popular Renew Deep Cleansing Facial, the Hydrablue Plumping Moisturizing Facial or the Ocean Brightening Facial. Read more here.

Combat Dry Skin with a Facial

DESUAR Spa is proud to offer highly effective dry skin therapy. Dry skin refers to the amount of oil we produce within the skin. Many people associate dryness with dehydration. However, if the oil levels within your skin are correct, the water content of the skin is almost always healthy. Here at DESUAR Spa we use the best marine-based natural products from PHYTOMER to give result oriented facials targeting the skin’s specific dryness condition. Our facials for dry skin will boost oil levels within the skin. PHYTOMER creamy milky cleansers are used to begin the process of softening the skin and increasing lipid levels.

I recommend using Phytomer Perfect Visage Gentle Cleansing Milk for its creamy, non-greasy milk that gently cleanses without disturbing the skin. Delicately removes makeup and surface impurities and provides moisture to the skin, which helps combat dryness. It is available for purchase online, or in-store.

Exfoliants such as lactic acid, glycolic acid, and enzymes help to slough off the upper, dry layers of the skin. This creates a smooth feel to the skin and increases the efficacy of the active ingredients applied afterward. Facial massage is a great tool for aiding in the uptake of serums and masks as well as lubricating the surface. Massage also activates the skin and encourages circulation. Lipid rich moisturizers help to create a healthy barrier for the skin.

Combat Fall Stresses with a Massage

Also, we understand how our body can generate stress, or gets stiff and numb from driving long hours during heavier rush-hour traffic due to higher traffic volume at the beginning of the Fall/Autumn season. And, for this we recommend either a deep tissue or Swedish massage that virtually melts stress away, relieves tension spots and increases circulation. Additionally, returning to our gym routine can make us sore and cause muscle pain all because the body is adjusting again. We can help your body recover faster from working out with our sport or deep tissue massage therapies that are designed to relieve severe tension and reach below the superficial muscles and enhance your workout performance.

The Importance of Exfoliation

The Importance of Exfoliation

Exfoliation is the removal of dry/dead skin cells on the surface layer of the skin, it is one of the most important aspects of your home skincare routine for face and body. Exfoliation not only helps many skin problems, it also increases blood circulation, which in turn helps you to achieve healthy, glowing skin. if you’re not exfoliating your skin isn’t as healthy as it could be. Exfoliation can be performed mechanically, by using abrasive scrubs on the skin, or chemically by using scrubs that contain enzymes or special kinds of acids that dissolve and remove the dead skin cells without scrubbing.

As we grow older, the process of cell regeneration slows. The result is that the body is slower to shed skin cells and generate new ones. When those old skin cells start to pile up on the surface of the skin, it can leave your skin looking, lifeless, uneven, dull, rough, and dry. In addition, the build-up of dead skin cells can result in clogged pores, which traps excess oil and leads to blemishes, acne, and hyperpigmentation. 

Proper exfoliation removes this barrier of dead skin cells that are clogging the skin, and uncovers fresh new cells below. This then opens the way for moisturizing products to penetrate more deeply into the skin, which makes them more effective. So, a regular exfoliating routine will leave your skin looking fresh and healthy. 

The best type of exfoliation depends upon both your complexion, and the health and sensitivity of your skin. If you have extremely sensitive skin or severe acne, you will want to choose an exfoliating product and method carefully. A professional esthetician can help you choose the method most appropriate for your needs. 

Most women at home use manual exfoliation on a regular basis (once or twice a week) and reserve chemical exfoliation for more intermittent use or when visiting an esthetician. 

If you use a manual exfoliating scrub, choose one with smooth, round granules rather than jagged, rough particles to avoid injuring your skin. Be gentle with the scrub, a light touch is all you need to remove the dead skin cells. Scrubbing too vigorously is more likely to irritate your skin than help it. 

If you prefer to do a chemical exfoliation at home, peels and masks that contain alpha or beta hydroxy acids provide a deep level of exfoliation. If you have sensitive skin, you may wish to look for more natural peels that contain fruit derived enzymes. One of my favorite products that I use for my regular skin care is and I highly recommend for sensitive skin is the Vegetal Exfoliant by Phytomer , with natural enzymes and grainless, the soft texture and action of this exfoliant is adapted to even the most sensitive of skin. Another great product for normal skin or oily skin is the Purifying Gommage Exfoliant by Phytomer, exfoliant with particles; the particles in this mechanical exfoliant eliminates the dead cells which dull your complexion, restoring radiance and softness to the epidermis. You can learn more about our PHYTOMER Products at http://www.desuarspa.com/skin-care-products

If you want healthy, glowing skin, regular exfoliation is a requirement. Don’t over-exfoliate, twice a week is perfect, too frequent exfoliation can leave your skin dry, irritated, and damaged. Take good care of your skin and put your best face forward.

Why Is It Important To Steam Your Face?

Why Is It Important To Steam Your Face?

Besides feeling good, what benefits does a facial steaming have? Well, it promotes relaxation, anything that feels that soothing has to be good, right? But, more importantly, it helps remove toxins from inside your pores, and enhances vascular circulation increasing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. Steaming can make your skin more receptive to other skin care treatments, once your pores are opened and dirt and debris have been eliminated your clean pores can now better absorb products you might use, such as a face mask or serum, and finally it cleans your pores. Not having clean pores can lead to congestion which then results in breakouts and eventually leads to infection and skin irritation.

Whether you suffer from acne or have blemish-free skin, one of the best ways to cleanse facial pores is to steam your face. The warm steam increases blood flow to the surface of your skin, which in turn causes your face to perspire, causing the pores to open and also soften the surface layer of dead skin cells. This releases dirt and debris that could be the cause of breakouts and would otherwise stay trapped.
