Everyone needs a day to relax after having stressful mornings, work days, and/or weeks. Every night we find ways to decompress, but the relief is short-lived, because we do it to ourselves again the next day. Often times, we don’t think about the long-term wears on our mind and body. What I learned from attending a Skin Regimen info session at Glen Ivy lately is that the damages we do to our bodies internally also shows up on our skin because our bodies want to rid of it somehow so it comes out through our pores. Skin Regimen, a new skincare brand formulated by the chemists of [ comfort zone ], has a new skincare approach which has been clinically proven to reduce the effects of daily stress and pollution on both skin and mind.
Urban Longevity Facial™
Many external factors we face every day like UV exposure and pollution, as well as daily choices in diet, smoking, and quality of sleep can alter the skin’s normal cellular processes – more specifically: DNA methylation, glycation, oxidation and inflammation. It results in cellular breakdown and stresses the skin causing us to look fatigued, dull and dehydrated. Skin Regimen, inspired by the Asian multi-layering beauty routine, is designed to slow down lifestyle aging in a four-step custom regimen. Glen Ivy Hot Springs is now offering this service as their Longevity Facial. This curated collection addresses the most common stress-related signs like dehydration, dullness, imperfections, fine lines and wrinkles. The new Skin Regimen Urban Longevity Facial™ is customizable to correct, rejuvenate, and recharge. The facial also comes with an exclusive massage technique inspired by Qigong, modern physiotherapy, and their Skin Regimen Macro Waves Sound™.
