Lose 10 in 2010!

Greetings!
For the past 20 years, baby boomers have set the standards for esthetic services.  Because this huge segment of the population is aging, many new skin therapies have focused on rejuvenating skin.  
 
For the first few decades of your life, your epidermis renews itself every 30 days, but by the time you're 40, it takes about 45 days. And new skin formation is what gives us that dewy youthful appearance.  Unfortunately, this shedding slowdown is a reflection of your body's gradual aging process. Long before menopause, the same hormonal production shifts that sap your fertility will start showing their signs on your face.  But before considering artificial hormone therapy which can be accompanied by numerous harmful side effects, try treating your hormonal skin issues safely, from the outside in. 
 
Let's explore how topically applied phytoestrogens, peptides and natural humectants can stave off the aging process!
 
Ready to look 10 years younger?  Come visit The Garden Spa'T and let us show you how - naturally!

Dry Spell
By the time we hit our late 20's, our estrogen production begins to decline.  Less estrogen means less hyaluronic acid, our skin's natural moisture factor.  So as we age, our skin's ability to retain hydration drops which often results in surface dryness.  I often hear clients complain that they drink a lot of water but their skin continues to be parched.  But without the presence of hyaluronic acid, your skin's plumpness can not persist not mater how much liquid you lug down.  The good news?  You can apply hyaluronic acid topically!
 
Sweet CheeksCome experience The Garden Spa'T's juicy summer facial packed full of skin quenching and replenishing products!  Our Sweet Cheeks Facial will reawaken dry, thirsty skin with the help of fresh strawberries and rhubarb while marshmallow plant-derived hyaluronic acid deeply penetrates to deliver a refreshing boost of hydration through its ability to hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. 
 
And even better news?  For the next 30 days, if you mention this newsletter, you will receive $10 off of our Sweet Cheeks Facial.  Don't wait until a drought! Book your hydrating treatment today!

Aside from hyaluronic acid production, estrogen also affects the production of collagen and elastin.  Hormonal dips thin the skin making it less pliable and more prone to wrinkling.  After age 30, we are losing 1% of our collagen per year...unless... Peptides and Retinol to the rescue! Peptides, or protein pieces, have recently taken a leading role in collagen stimulation and cell regeneration. 
Acai PeptideThe Garden Spa'T likes to refer to our peptide powerhouse, ACAI RADIANCE PEPTIDE ELIXIR, as our pure skin renewal solution!  It contains 3 powerful peptides to firm, repair and protect the skin simultaneously relaxing wrinkles while Songyi mushroom extract brightens skin tone.  
 
 
 
Retinol is a Vitamin A derivative that is absorbed by the skin and it is critical in inducing cell and collagen production.  Our PH PARFAIT VIT A ANTIOXIDANT RETINOL SYSTEM utilizes a concentrated formula of highly effective Biological derivatives - Soya Plant combined with Grapeseed Plant Extract. The balanced combination creates a powerful antioxidant, anti-aging system that neutralizes damaging free-radicals. Continued use of PH Parfait Vit A-Retinol will aid in the stimulation of collagen synthesis and reversal of thinning epidermis. It will restore natural moisture and accelerate skin rejuvenation, even skin texture and minimize the occurrence of blemishes for long-term protection.  And at $56, this is the best valued source of retinol I have found on the market.  
 
Every day that passes that you are NOT using a peptide and/or retinol product is a day when you could be reversing the aging process...why wait??
Slacking Off
Spa MaleFor both men and women, as estrogen declines, our deepest layers of our skin begin to drop and sag.  Bone loss collapses facial structure (by the way, vegans have LESS bone loss than meat and dairy eaters!) squaring off eye sockets (causing dark circles) and increasing skin slackening.  However, topical applications of plant-derived estrogens (phytoestrogens like soy, green tea, and wild yam) are safe and can help firm up the face.  If you start applying phytoestrogens in your 30s and 40s, it will help prevent much of the sagging that occurs due to the hormone drop.
 
At The Garden Spa'T, we can assist you in choosing the right products that contain the highest levels of these fabulous phytoestrogens to take off 10!  Make an appointment for a product purchase, start today!
