Warmed stones amplify the benefits of the mask so your skin can absorb all the nutrients it needs. This treatment is ideal for anyone who wants to boost circulation and reduce the negative impact of environmental toxins. It also stimulates your metabolism, which is a great benefit for anyone making weight loss goals in the new year! Nourishing Antioxidant Wrap Our nourishing antioxidant wrap consists of three parts: 1) a raw cane sugar scrub 2) a rich body masque and 3) a warm oil scalp massage. The botanical blends we use are enriched with antioxidants and vitamin C from guava fruit. This treatment boosts your body’s natural collagen production and helps hydrate your skin for an undeniable glow that leaves you looking like a whole new person.

 the cold weather brings on a slew of skin side-effects that complicate your perfected skincare routine. we’re talking about dryness, irritation, flakiness, and itchiness, to name a few. when temps fall and the humidity diminishes, our skin is at its driest. luckily, there are many skincare tips and tricks out there to keep your skin healthy and hydrated this season.

Spavia day spa has many facial treatments designed to restore moisture to parched skin. keep your skin feeling quenched and fresh with a hydrating facial from Spavia day spa.

avoid hot water

exposing yourself to piping hot water for too long will severely rob your skin of its natural moisture. although hot showers are popular during the colder months, try to keep your showers under fifteen minutes and only use warm water.

you should avoid hot water while washing your face as well. this can strip the natural oil and moisture from your skin, and your face could start to develop dry patches. sticking to lukewarm water for the skin is a must during cooler weather.

this habit will also keep your scalp hydrated and safe from dandruff. our fijan warm-oil scalp treatment is perfect for keeping your scalp and hair hydrated as well. we use a traditional fijan coconut bowl to drizzle warmed nut oils on your scalp and neck. the product is massaged into your skin and hair, restoring balance and leaving your hair shiny and healthy. due to the oils used during the treatment, this is not suited for people with nut allergies.

switch up your skincare routine

the key to your new winter routine is going to be adding moisture back into your skin. look for water-based products because these will restore your skin’s natural moisture. try layering an organic oil under your foundation or applying a serum as part of your makeup application and removal process. this is a great way to give your skin a great, big drink of water.

speaking of quenching your skin, our hydraderm facial is designed to rejuvenate the skin’s moisture. our most advanced technology, diamond tone microdermabrasion, resurfaces the skin to create a smooth, fresh, more youthful glow. deeply penetrating serums help correct and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well.

exfoliate

scrubbing dead skin cells away will be extremely beneficial to your skin this season. exfoliate in moderation as, too much rubbing can irritate your skin, but make sure to replenish your skin every once in a while, with a natural exfoliant.

Spavia day spa offers the skin renewing sugar glow facial treatment which is a full body scrub that leaves your skin feeling luscious and renewed. the scrub consists of nut oils and fruit enzymes that are meant to assist in exfoliation and nourishment. a coconut milk blend is used to help lift and eliminate dead skin. the treatment will strengthen the skin’s elasticity and replenish moisture loss for the ultimate, healthy glow. this is also not suited for people with nut allergies.

we’ve all heard the saying, “be comfortable with the skin you’re in”, but how can you be comfortable if you don’t even know your skin? when you know your skin type, not only will your skincare routine become simpler and more effective, but also your makeup application will be much more enjoyable! here at Spavia day spa, we believe in catering to each skin type for the best results possible. our facial treatments are designed to provide your specific skin type with the necessary nutrients and vitamins to thrive.

with a simple skin analysis, you can avoid making skin care mistakes which lead to breakouts, irritation, inflammation, and even premature aging. read on to identify your skin type and to find out what it’s thirsty for!

oily skin

the top signs of oily skin are shiny, greasy, and large, visible pores. the amount of shine will increase throughout the day and can ruin your perfectly blended foundation or freshly washed face.

the best way to take care of your oily skin is to avoid ingredients like mineral oil and alcohol. products that say “oil-free” on the label are going to be your best friend. try chemical exfoliants and clay masks, as these will still nourish the skin while controlling oil production. while limiting oil production is key, it’s important not to over-wash your face. this can cause your pores to produce more oil to compensate for how much you are stripping away.

Spavia day spa offers a deep cleansing facial that cleanses, purifies, and aids in the healing of acne and troubled areas. it includes beta acids, extractions and a healing mask that helps minimize the appearance of pores and heals irritated skin, facilitating the elimination of excess oil.

dry skin

does your skin often feel tight, rough, red, itchy and flaky? hello and welcome to dry skin. people with dry skin may also experience eczema or dermatitis due to the lack of moisture being produced by the skin.

to care for dry skin, use rich moisturizers several times a day to seal in dewiness. look for water-based products and make sure you’re drinking a lot of water throughout the day! another pro-tip is to keep the air in your home warm and moist to aid in hydrating your skin.

the best facial we offer for our dry skin members is the hydraderm facial. dry skin highlights fine lines and wrinkles, so we use deeply penetrating serums to help correct and improve the appearance of the creases. hydraderm also features diamond tone microdermabrasion to rejuvenate your skin and give it a fresh and youthful look and feel.

combination skin

combination skin is quite common and consists of two contrasting skin types: oily and dry. your t-zone will typically be oily with larger pores, leaving your cheeks, and chin area dry.

the most beneficial way to treat the different areas on your face is to use a multitude of products. concentrate hydrating products on your cheeks and chin while using oil-controlling products on your nose and forehead. this will take a little extra time but targeting both of your skin types is well worth the extra effort. try using toners and balancing cream to even out your complexion as well!

Spavia day spa offers a balancing facial that will be perfect for this skin type. we use organic ingredients and antioxidants to restore and rebalance your skin. this facial treatment will soothe, heal, and deliver essential nutrients to bring balance back to your complexion.

normal skin

having normal skin means that you are not too oily or too dry— you’re just right! you’ll know you have normal skin if you have few imperfections, no severe sensitivity and barely visible pores. if you have normal skin, you already have a radiant complexion. your skin can tolerate most ingredients, meaning you can test out multiple formulas and products without severely damaging or harming your skin.

we recommend the Spavia signature facial for normal skin. although your skin will benefit from any of our facials, this is a good place to start. the signature facial includes a thorough cleansing, gentle exfoliation with an enzyme mask, and extractions to remove impurities. you’ll be left feeling smooth and hydrated!

test your skin

now that you have a good idea of what your skin type might be, it’s time to test that theory! simply wash your face using warm water, use a gentle cleanser on your skin and pat dry with a towel or washcloth. let your skin sit for half an hour and then take a look in the mirror. study the size of your pores, check for visible acne spots or scarring and see how it compares with the guide above!
