Focus on Facials

According to a recent article by DaySpa Magazine (August 2009), titled “The ‘Most’ in Facials,” the traditional cleanse-exfoliate-extract facial is a thing of the past. Today’s spas focus on perfecting a truly personalized protocol for individualized treatments.

The article highlights some of the most indulgent to the most scientific facials available that keep spa goers looking their most radiant. The  categories include most luxurious, most therapeutic, and most organic, among others. Luckily, The Dragontree features something in each of those categories and more.

Nothing helps you feel confident and radiant, not to mention glow- literally- like a facial. Our facials feature Livia products made from organic and wild crafted plants, and Shankara products made with Ayurvedic herbs. These natural formulas blend the healing wisdom of traditional medicine with a contemporary understanding of skin biology and nutrition for exceptional results.

The Dragontree is a holistic day spa, which means we take into account your entire being. Why would you drench your skin in harmful chemicals to be absorbed into your body, for the sake of beauty? All of our hour-long facials also include foot, hand, and neck massages, as well a complimentary 30-minute sauna session. We suggest arriving early to take a sauna before your facial to open your pores and make your skin supple and ready for treatment.

Our list of facials includes our Dragontree Signature Facial, a Custom Facial, the Daydream Facial (my personal favorite!), the Gentleman’s Facial (yes, men need facials too- sometimes more than women!!), and an Ayurvedic Facial.

Our skin is really put to the test everyday- we wear makeup (visit here for some do it yourself tips), we expose it to the sun, our stress and hormones play a large role in our complexion as well as the food we eat and beverages we drink. Be sure to drink plenty of water, get enough rest, use your sunscreen (especially on your face!) and follow your mom’s advice- wash your face before bed! Your face is what you put forward to the world- and deserves pampering as much as your feet. As always, thanks for reading and have a peaceful day.
