“When you go from hot to cold water, it creates an oxygenating effect and stimulates the lymphatic system.  We call this Contrast Therapy at Canyon Ranch, but you can do it at home.  First, soak in a hot bath for 20 minutes.  All your veins swell in the heat.  Then step into a cool shower, which constricts the veins, so you can get a kind of pipe-cleaning effect as the blood pumps harder and flushes out all the toxins.  It’s very cleansing.”   …Charlotte Prescott, Canyon Ranch

Chamomile tea, brewed and cooled, is a perfect toner for normal to dry skin.  It closes the pores, and makes skin look fresher.  Brewed and cooled Lavender tea is great for sensitive skin and Peppermint or Spearmint tea works best for oily complexions. 

Splash over face after using a mild cleanser, followed by a moisturizer for your skin type. 

To tighten facial skin and make pores practically disappear, try this at home spa treatment.  Beat egg whites (either by hand with a whisk, or use a stand mixer…preferable) until they become ultra white and frothy. 

Apply the foam to your entire face, and let dry completely.  Gently rinse, and pat dry.  It makes your skin look younger and healthier.

Make this a habit!  Hot towels placed on the face and chest are one of the easiest ways to feel ultra relaxed and ultra zen.  This is an easy spa treatment that can be created at home for everyday use.  You can elevate the experience with aromatherapeutic benefits by applying a few drops of essential oil to the towel.  Lavender’s aromatherapy benefits are to calm and relax the mind and body.  A citrus essential oil will produce a cheerful mood and enliven the spirit.

Simply saturate a white hand towel with water.  Wring excess water from the towel.  Place towel in the microwave in 30 second intervals, up to two minutes.  Be sure not to get the towel too hot and burn your skin.  Place several drops of essential oils (optional) directly to hot towel.  The heat will instantly release the essential oil’s therapeutic benefits.  Place hot towels on face, (leave a breathe hold) and upper chest.

Lie down and relax for 10-15 minutes with the towels draping your face and chest.   Feel free to re-microwave your towel(s) if it becomes too cool.

Make deep relaxation with aromatherapy a habit.  It relaxes not only the body, but also the mind.  It’s a perfect way to decompress at the end of the day.  It’s also super beneficial for the skin, opening up pores, allowing the skin to breathe.

This is a great at home spa treatment that can be done every day, and cost you absolutely nothing.  Love that!  Try this today!

Fresh fruit season is upon us.  With warmer weather approaching, you’ll notice the strawberries look healthier and vibrant red, the bananas are sunny yellow and ripe, and oranges are juicy and bright orange.   Not only is it peak season for eating fresh fruits, but also for making skincare recipes with them.  Fruits have been extensively used in skincare applications since the beginning of time. 

The next time your fruit basket is full, do double-beauty-duty by eating fruits to nourish the inside, and using fruits in skincare recipes to nourish the outside. 

By making your own facial masks with fresh fruit, you’ll assure no preservatives or chemicals are are going onto and into your skin. 

Try this Banana Honey Facial Mask.  Bananas are high in vitamins C, A, B6, and B12 in addition to magnesium and potassium.  The fruit acids in bananas help to slough off dead skin cells, leaving your skin looking healthy and refreshed. 

RECIPE:

1 Banana,  2 tablespoons of honey

Mash banana with honey into a paste, and apply to to clean skin.  Leave on skin 15 minutes, then rinse with warm water.  The banana/honey mixture leaves a firming, yet moisturized feeling to the skin…..that’s totally delicious!
