Give Yourself a Treat this Halloween

Hooray for Halloween and all the goodies that come along with it. There’s nothing that gets me in the spirit like smelling the delicious smells that Fall brings. So with that in mind, I want to share with you all some of my favorite DIY body scrub recipes for the season. And of course, it wouldn’t be Halloween if some of them weren’t pumpkin scented!

Pumpkin Spice Scrub:

½ cup brown sugar

½ cup granulated white sugar

1 teaspoon of nutmeg

15 drops pumpkin pie spice essential oil

2 cups Coconut oil

Pumpkin Sugar Scrub:

1 1/2 cups of pumpkin puree

1 cup of brown sugar

1 teaspoon of coconut oil

Fall Salt Bath:

2 1/2 cups Epsom Salts

Lemon Essential Oil

Orange Essential Oil

Red and Yellow food coloring

Mason Jar

How to Make:

  1. Add 2 ½ cups of Epsom salts to a bowl.

  2. Add about 4 drops of orange food coloring and 2 drops of red mixed well. Check the color. If it’s orange, that’s enough. If not, add one drop at a time until you are happy with the color. Add about two drops of lemon essential oil, 2 drops of orange essential oil, 2 drops of pumpkin spice essential oil. Smell and adjust as needed, one drop at a time. Mix well.

  3. Pour your soak mixture into the mason jar.

  4. Close and store in a dry place until you’re ready to use!

Remember to Take Time Out for Yourself!

Now that the craziness of the school year is back upon us, it can be difficult to feel like you have enough time for everything, let alone your self-care routine. But, having a routine where you take some time for yourself each day is absolutely crucial for your mental health and well-being. Whether it be exercise or meditation or getting a facial, choose something that will make you feel good about you. 

All of the things previously mentioned are proven to reduce stress. Excess stress causes a chemical response in your body that actually makes the skin more sensitive. Hormones like cortisol are produced and tell the glands in your skin to make more oil. We all know that oily skin is more prone to acne and other skin problems. And of course, we mothers all know that stress can lead to premature aging. Make it stop! Our Facial menu has been carefully curated to meet all skin types and help you de-stress. Let us help your worries fade away at DESUAR Spa. 

We all know the benefit massage can have on reducing stress, pain and muscle tension. While more research is needed to confirm all the amazing benefits of massage, some studies have found massage may also be helpful for anxiety and stress-related insomnia. In addition to stress relief, ongoing massage therapy can increase energy levels and improve overall physical and mental performance which will help you be on your game come class time! Take a look at all of our amazing massage menu to get yourself into the type of self-care routine you deserve.

A Guide to Getting Great Beauty Sleep When You’re Over 50

A Guide to Getting Great Beauty Sleep When You’re Over 50

Nothing is better than a good night’s sleep. Our bodies rejuvenate while we’re sleeping, and our brains require rest. When we don’t sleep well, we feel tired and cranky, and our thinking skills tend to suffer as a result. Our skin often shows the first signs of poor sleep; droopy eyelids and dark circles are just the outward signs. 

Sleep deprivation can cause high blood pressure and heart complications, among other health issues. Eating healthy and exercising daily are two things you can do to help break the cycle of sleeplessness. Sleeping well makes it easier to make healthy food choices (reaching for a granola bar instead of a doughnut or drinking green tea instead of a double shot espresso) and healthy lifestyle choices (going to the gym instead of flopping into the recliner for the evening). 

If you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, these strategies can help.

Create an Evening Routine

Having a routine can help you sleep. You should begin this routine an hour before bedtime. Your routine can include things like meditating and reading; aim for 15 to 30 minutes for each of these activities. Also, when you can, include things like spraying a calming scent on your pillow (bergamot and lavender are both good choices) and slathering lotion on your hands (good choices are peppermint and eucalyptus).

Check with Your Doctor

Many physical ailments can prevent you from getting a good night’s sleep. Restless leg syndrome, heart arrhythmia, and kidney problems are all possibilities. A vitamin D deficiency can also disrupt sleep, so have your level tested and follow the doctor’s instructions about boosting it. If you are at risk for sleep apnea, your doctor can order a sleep study and help you get treatment. Visit your doctor if you have more than a few sleepless nights.

Embrace Technology

While it’s generally a good idea to avoid screen time a couple hours before bed, your smartphone can actually help you sleep. There are quite a few sleep apps that you can download that can help you rest easier at night. For instance, the Sleep Time app analyzes your sleep cycles and has calming soundscapes. If you’re currently using an outdated smartphone, it could be time to purchase a new model—one that won’t crash when you run a sleep app. A model like the Google Pixel 3 is perfectly sized and has excellent performance. Whereas the iPhone 11 also performs well and has all-day battery life.

Change Your Décor

Some changes in your environment might help you sleep. Bright colors are stimulating. If your walls are a vibrant color, consider repainting to a soothing color. Pastels — especially blues and earth tones — may help you drift off. Ticking clocks and other noise-makers can keep you from sleeping. So, replace your vintage analog clock with a quiet digital one. Also, fix the leaky toilet that flushes every few hours or install a ceiling fan or run a white noise machine to drown out noises you can’t fix, including nearby traffic, noisy neighbors, and barking dogs.

No-Nos for Sleeping

Some habits can prevent you from falling asleep. Change some of these habits, and see what a difference they can make. For example, don’t drink alcohol or caffeine within six hours of bedtime. Of course, some people can drink coffee all evening and still sleep well, but if you aren’t one of those folks, cut off caffeine well before bedtime. Your friend may swear by having a glass of wine to help him sleep, but if you do this, give it up for a month to see if it makes a difference in your sleep habits. Also, don’t drink any liquid for one hour before bedtime. Sure, you need to stay hydrated, but if you’re drinking 16 ounces of water before bed, your bladder may not be able to make it through the night. Some people can get up to use the bathroom and go right back to sleep, but if that’s not you, hydrate earlier in the evening.

Finally, some medications are “activating” and can keep you awake. Check with your pharmacist to see which meds you take that fall into that category. For example, many antidepressants and thyroid medications should be taken in the morning to prevent the interruption of sleep.

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but sleeping well is worth a goldmine. Get some exercise early in the day and settle into a quiet routine before bedtime to get the most beautifying and healthful benefits from your night’s rest.

Come to DESUAR Spa for One of the Most Popular Massages in Hollywood

At DESUAR Spa we have a wide variety of massage types to choose from. You may not have even heard of the one that has been gaining recent popularity among celebrity A-listers. The Hollywood Reporter recently released an article sharing that some of the most beautiful and famous names in the entertainment industry are huge fans of the Slimming Brazilian massage, also known as Lymphatic Drainage. You may recognize some of the names of these individuals; Kendall Jenner, Selena Gomez, and Haley Beiber along with Victoria’s Secret supermodels Alessandra Ambrosio, Camila Coelho, and Cintia Dickerall swear by this treatment and believe it to be one of the most effective ways to slim and tone while providing immediate results.

 

Lymphatic Drainage is different from other massages in that it focuses on gentle manipulation and light strokes which help to stimulate and regulate the immune and parasympathetic nervous systems while also having a positive effect on lymph flow. By clearing blockages and eliminating toxins, this therapy helps transport nutrients to the cells and increases metabolic function and circulation. This treatment can also be beneficial for digestion and helps to keep the lymphatic system from becoming overloaded, aiding in your overall health and wellness. So give us a call and book today and we’ll have you feeling like your best self!

Don’t Let The Summer Sun Dry You Out!

It’s officially summer and we know what that means! Beach days, backyard barbeques, and long days soaking up the sun. It’s a glorious season and we wait for it all year long, but it can wreak havoc on our skin if we aren’t careful. Cue the HydraFacial® from DESUAR Spa! The HydraFacial md® resurfacing procedure is an overall treatment that cleanses, peels, extracts, unclogs, de-greases, purifies and hydrates the skin. This method produces instantly radiant skin while also reducing fine lines, acne, and uneven skin tone, without any irritation or waiting periods. HydraFacial® uses an innovative Vortex-Fusion® method which utilizes antioxidants and Hyaluronic Acid to moisturize, rejuvenate and protect your beautiful skin. What an amazing way to give your face the boost it needs after being exposed in the hot sun during these summer months! Although the HydraFacial® is an amazing way to treat yourself and refresh and renew your skin, please be sure to also protect yourself from too much sun exposure by using an SPF and consider wearing a hat when you are out for long periods of time. We look forward to helping you put your best face forward at DESUAR Spa!
