You Don’t Have to Settle for just any Sunscreen… Visit WWW.ESSPA.NET for More Info!

Hello All! Its Eva here.
I just got back from Florida and I didn’t take just any old sunscreen that is filled with oils and synthetic ingredients. Who would want that to clog their pores? Nobody I know, that’s for sure. I took my sun defense brushes by Eminence Organics for myself, my husband, and my son.

Are you looking to protect your skin but you still think it’s a little early for the sunscreen? Well, the newest and latest product at ESSpa Kozmetika is a line of powdered SPF bronzers and foundations. Can you believe that such a light product like a powder can give you full SPF sun protection? It’s true and it’s exceptionally nice. The sun defense make-up powders give effective 30 SPF protection. Due to their natural ingredients, the powders are hypo-allergenic for all skin types on both men and women. Yes, ladies…I said men. I mean, just think about it, golfers, swimmers, and skiers need sun protection too. Luckily, there is a translucent powder available for the men’s convenience.

The SPF powders are anti-inflammatory, healing, and they are great for post treatment. (After a facial) They are water-resistant so that means they are perfect for the pool or even exercise. It’s clean and anti-bacterial so it won’t clog pores. The powders are made of all natural ingredients like fruit extracts, nuts, honey, minerals, and micronized zinc oxide (spf) of course. They are loaded and I mean loaded with bioflavonoids and vitamins for the skin so it’s actually healthy for your skin rather than nothing at all. For those with sensitive skin, it reduces skin flare ups and oil production. It’s sleek and smooth pumping brush is easy to use and it can travel anywhere. I use it everyday and I especially like to use it in place of a blush. Just pick from the variety of colors to choose from. At ESSpa, we have the following available for you:

No. 0 Translucent- For men and women for SPF purposes and as a setting powder.

No. 1 Honey & Apple-For light to medium skin tones

No. 2 Cherries and Berries- For medium skin tones with neutral to warm undertones

No. 3 Peaches and Cream- For light to medium skin tones with neutral to cool undertones

No. 4 Calendula Spice- For medium to dark skin tones with warm undertones

No. 5 Cinnamon Bronzer- For dark skin with dark to reddish undertones or it can be used as a bronzer for darker skin tones.

Keep Up with Skincare While You Travel

Hello,

We all know that when your step onto a plane, your health goes down hill. Your system becomes dehydrated from recycled air and possibly needed cocktails. You run the risk of getting sick from others coughing and sneezing in your confined area. You are also sitting for a long period of time which can’t be good for your circulatory system. And you know you eat those unhealthy snacks out of sheer boredom. Since now is the time for travel and spring break has begun, We have come up with a list of tips and tricks to stay healthy and hydrated inside and out while you’re on board.

• Before you step on your flight, take a healthy snack like fruit and nuts and a bottle of water. These snacks will keep you occupied without the intake of high calorie foods and drinks. Bottled water is also a great choice because it will keep you well hydrated.
• Apply a generous amount of face cream on board to avoid dehydration of the skin. We suggest you apply it every couple of hours on long flights. We also suggest that you apply hand sanitizer thoroughly. This will help you from catching any sort of sickness from your neighbors.
• Try to do gentle stretches in your seat. You can shrug your shoulders, rotate your wrists and ankles, and twist your upper body from side to side. You should also take a couple walks up and down the aisle to keep your legs and back from becoming tight. Also take a few deep breaths every now and then to get full oxygenation. These exercises will get your blood flowing and the color to your face will stay a healthy hue.
• Before, during and after travel, always make sure that you eat and drink a healthy diet adequately. This can help your body and mind stay in tip top shape.
• Always remember to bring your essentials when you travel to a different destination. Just because you leave your home, doesn’t mean you have to forego your skincare routine. Also remember to take a 15 SPF sunscreen with you because you will surely need it wherever you go.

A flight can take a lot out of you and your skin. If you follow these tips, your skin and health will not suffer. You will not only feel better but your skin and overall appearance will look better too. You will be more pleasant and your skin will glow if you just keep up with your diet and skincare regimen as usual when you travel. Everything around you, what you put into your body, and what you put on your skin has the ability to affect your biggest organ in your body…your skin. So help prevent the environmental damage wherever you are and stay hydrated!

These “tips” have been handed down through the years to help everyone – other guests, spa professionals, and most importantly YOU – completely and thoroughly enjoy a spa treatment at our establishment. If you take this advice, your treatments and experience will be top of the line.

Before your scheduled appointment time, we encourage you to arrive at least 20 minutes prior to check in so you can into a spa robe, fill out paperwork (if you are new), enjoy a hot tea or glass of lemon infused water, and just relax. You may also want to take advantage of the sauna or shower before you start a relaxing spa treatment and we invite you to enjoy a complimentary sauna treatment before or after any other scheduled spa service. And If you are unable to make it to your appointment, please call ahead of time to cancel or change your appointment as we only schedule time specifically for you – if you can’t make it that means someone else who wanted to come in couldn’t.

Guests come to a spa to relax… keep in mind your voice level in areas of the spa. We encourage everyone not to talk or laugh too loud because it is best to be courteous to other guests.

Skincare Tip for the Day

Yes, ladies and gents, it is winter time but that doesn’t mean that the sun can’t give off damaging sun rays. It is always important to wear a sunscreen everyday with at least 15 SPF. SPF stands for sun protection factor and it can have fabulous results. Maybe not today or tomorrow but down the road you will look younger because your skin won’t be as damaged as those sun bathers. The sun’s rays can give you wrinkles, dark spots, dry patches, and even skin cancer if you are exposed enough. It is best if you can find a moisturizer with a SPF already in it. That way, it is an easy way to incorporate it into your daily routine.

Listen up you snow bunnies out there because you are the most exposed during the winter, even if it is -10 below. While you are on the ski slopes, go for a higher SPF sunscreen. Why you ask? Well, the sun will reflect off of the white snow and increase the possibility of sun burn damage on your skin. So don’t be stingy with the SPF. If you have any questions about SPF or skin damage, visit www.esspa.net, call us at (412) 782-3888 or contact a dermatologist or esthetician near you to determine a game plan for getting your skin back to a healthy state.
