Nourish
the Internal to enrich the external
The old saying goes,“you can't always judge a book
by its cover”, but when it comes to your health, what
shows on the outside is a reflection of what’s on the
inside, and dull or problematic skin cannot be hidden. We
have all been taught the basics regarding vitamins needed
for the best in health and well-being. The question is:
have we been educated about the many foods rich in vitamins
that can specifically nourish our skin? Foods cannot replace
your vitamin supplements or treatments, but can encourage
the benefits of both. The education we supply is based on
our commitment to you to make sure you receive the best
results possible.
Avocados - abundant in essential oils and B-complex and
Niacin (vitamin B3) vitamins that nourish your skin. As
an anti-inflammatory, niacin soothes irritated skin and
can help calm red, blotchy skin. Mangoes - rich in vitamin
A, maintains and repairs skin cells; a deficiency will result
in a dry, flaky complexion. Also a great antioxidant, they
fight free radical damage that can prematurely age the skin.
Almonds - vitamin E rich oils moisturize dry skin, while
their antioxidants help protect against skin damage and
premature aging of facial tissue. Cottage Cheese - rich
in Selenium, an essential mineral, teams up with vitamin
E as a powerful free radical-fighting antioxidant duo. Acerola
Cherries - (must be acerola cherries) supplies an antioxidant,
fights skin damage and wrinkles, produces collagen, the
structural protein in your skin. Oysters - a rich source
of zinc, which plays a role in sebum production, a deficiency
may contribute to acne problems. It can also help boost
elastin (the skin's elastic protein) production with the
help of vitamin C. Baked Potatoes - one baked potato eaten
with the skin supplies 75% of your daily need for copper.
This essential mineral works hand-in-hand with vitamin C
and zinc to produce elastin fibers that support skin structure.
Too little copper can reduce your skin’s ability to
heal and cause it to become rigid and lifeless. Mushrooms
- rich in riboflavin, a B vitamin that’s vital to your
skin, involved in tissue maintenance and repair. Flaxseed
Oil - Omega 3’s hydrate the skin, essential fatty acids
also dilutes sebum and helps to unclog pores. Wheat Germ
- is a good source of Biotin, a B vitamin that is crucial
to skin’s health. Biotin is so important to healthy
skin that a mild deficiency can actually cause dermatitis,
a skin condition characterized by itchy, scaly skin.

Natural necessity
The idea, of using skin and body care preparations derived
from pure and natural substances, is not a new one. Years
ago, spa services were called beauty farms. This was mainly
because the majority of the beauty preparations used in
skin and body treatments were naturally grown, in gardens,
under the warm sun, in clean, unpolluted country air,
in rich, nourishing soil. Guests were pampered with herbal
facials, fragrant aromatherapy, hand and body wraps infused
with herbs, and some medicated minerals. Now, you can
receive the same methods using natural ingredients, but
combined with the latest in technologies for advanced
results. From complete relaxation herbs that inspire a
euphoric mental state, to skin treatments for a radiant
youthful glow, your experience will be one you desire
often. Guests are treated with massages rich in oil mixtures,
herbal extracts, or other organic ingredients. This holistic
approach to personal skin and body care is here with advantages
far beyond the past, and is now considered more of a necessity
for well being, not just a luxury.
Youthful
Skin at any age
Normal healthy skin has a nice epidermis with a smooth
outer, layer that acts as a good barrier to water and
environmental injury. Skin color and tone are both even
and have a glow that reflects the essence of health. As
we age, our skin ages. This external aging skin shows
up as thickening of the cornified layer, and exaggerated
loss of collagen and elastin. These processes give the
skin the appearance of roughness, uneven tone, brown patches,
thin skin, and wrinkles. The outer layer, or dead zone,
has the debris of days gone by. Showers and baths clean
away surface grime, but the dead zone remains as a rough,
flaky layer and appears as aged skin. These dead layers
must be removed on a regular basis with an abrasive material,
which for the body can be a scrub, or a polish. Let your
skin come alive with a new fresh look. Our treatments
are designed to gently exfoliate dead skin cells for improved
skin clarity and softness. These treatments can also stimulate
your glandular system to activate healthier cells. Your
skin can look radiant and more youthful at any age.
the
Attention they deserve
Let's stop a minute and really think about what family
is all about. Families are all about love and teaching
you, not only to receive and give, but its true value.
Love is enduring. Love conquers all. Love is not boastful,
but forgiving and kind. Because your family has loved
you with all of their hearts, let your gift to them say
I love you with a gift of personal care. They deserve
to receive the same attention that they have given you
all your life, and more. Let us cater to their needs of
relaxation with attention to their health and well-being.
Let the people you love know how much you care.
