With the holiday hustle behind us, a look in the mirror may reveal all the running around, late-night parties and the dry winter air has taken a toll on our skin.
The skilled aestheticians at Cosmos Salon and Day Spa have a solution—the Winter Glow! exfoliating facial.
“This month, just to get your New Year off to a great start,” said Sandra Barbetta, co-owner of the salon with her husband, Cosmo, “we are offering this off menu exfoliating facial treatment, featuring Jan Marini Clinically Validated Skin Care, which combines glycolic with enzymes to give you the effects of a peel without the downtime. Your skin will be refined, polished, and glowing with immediate results.”
“For the uninitiated, the term peel might be a little confusing,” said Cosmo aesthetician Jill Batista. “A chemical peel is a treatment technique used to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin. The peel solutions cause dead and dry skin to slough off after a few days, leaving a regenerated skin surface, which is smoother, refined and glowing, with reduced wrinkles and fine lines.”
The Winter Glow! exfoliating facial has all the benefits, including the immediate result of a peel without the downtime or the actual flaking off of skin. You can go right out and face the world with beautiful, glowing skin.
“Although it’s called a chemical peel, many exfoliating facial solutions are derived from natural ingredients, ” Jill stated. “They are gentle and safe, such as alpha hydroxyl acids (AHAs) and enzymes.”
AHAs are naturally occurring, such as glycolic acid, a natural constituent of sugar cane juice. This is the mildest of the peel formulas, and produces a light exfoliation for treatment of fine wrinkles, areas of dryness, uneven pigmentation and acne.
AHAs also can be used in conjunction with enzymes in a facial treatment for even better results. Enzymes found in green unripened papayas are used to break down dead and damaged skin cells, resurfacing without disturbing sensitive or irritated skin. Combining enzymes with other resurfacing agents, such as glycolic, dramatically accelerates desired results in skin rejuvenation, acne control, hyper-pigmentation and scar reduction.
“So, book your Winter Glow! appointment now with one of our skilled aestheticians, Margaret, Maria or Jill, at a special discounted price of only $95,”
said Sandra.
Cosmos also is discounting $10 off other January spa specials, including a 90-minute massage, a microdermabrasion and the Desert Bliss Scrub.
