Movie star fashion

As the saying goes movies parallel life;” however fashion parallels the movies, with the example of the trendy boot and tiny skirt popularized in Bridget Jones’s Diary. These and other ‘must-have’s” for Fall 2001 include:

Knit sweaters. Handmade-looking knit sweaters and turtlenecks are this season’s casual wear.

Fur accents. Although big in recent years, fur accents have reached the pinnacle this fall, not only as outerwear but accents on collars and cuffs as well.

Leather garments. Always a beloved texture, leather does come with rules—though available in the form of pants, skirts, jackets and turtlenecks; wear only one wardrobe piece of leather at a time.

Pencil pants. The long and lean look is in, and can only be improved when accompanied with a pair of stiletto boots.

A-line and pencil skirts. Classic and fashionable for a variety of reasons. A-line skirts flatter almost any figure and they can be combined with almost anything.

Boots. Leather boots are this season’s shoe of choice, but all styles and shapes are acceptable, including flats, wedges, stilettos, ankle and knee-highs, and pointy, round and even square toes.

Did you know
Exercise improves your complexion and is healthy for your skin; aero­bic exercise in particular increases circulation, oxygenates the blood and strengthens the body.



Man handling
For men with particularly dry and rough hand textures, an at-home care regimen should be followed between spa treatments. Easy daily solutions include the even application of a glycerin-based body cream to moisturize, aloe barbadensis gel for hydration and lactic acid to gently exfoliate. For hi-weekly care, a sea salt glow in olive oil and beta hydroxy acid can be used. It also is important to remember that there is no difference be­tween the skin on the hands and skin found elsewhere on the body; therefore, sunscreen should be applied to hands as well as the face before heading outside, even when driving. Ask your skin care professional for rec­ommended products to optimize hand and facial treat­ments at the spa.

 

UNWRAPPED SECRETS

A wrap is one of he most Valuable able tools used in spa treatments due to its versatility and extensive application potential, making it almost mandatory. With the variety of wraps out there it is important to understand what purpose they serve to find the one that serves your needs best. Wraps can offer the body:

Detoxification. The body produces metabolic waste products that are toxic to the body and must be eliminated. Specific wraps are designed to improve elimination, the results of which include corrected kidney, digestive, lung and skin functions.

Remineralization. The body requires minerals. Using products such as fango, seaweed and other ingredients, minerals can be added effectively though the use of wraps.

Relaxation. Depending on the type of wrap, there are essential oils, as well as wrapping techniques, that can he used to derive a relaxed atmosphere.

Tonification. The desire of toning and firming of the body is on the rise; used in conjunction with exercise and nutrition, these wraps can greatly improve sagging skin by adding amino acids that produce proteins such as elastin and collagen in the skin.

Hydration. Wraps are very effective in hydrating the skin for an impressive rejuvenated appearance.

cellulite treatment Cellulite is the result of water retention and poor elimination of metabolic wastes. A wrap including essential oils can be capable of reducing this unsightly condition.

Weight control Generally not recommended as a sole method for weight control, wraps can be a rather helpful part of an overall weight reduction program.

Check the spa menu for your favorites and discuss the options with your skin care professional.



Smoked skin
The results of a study by dermatologists recently appeared in the Lancet, indicating that smoking activates the genes responsible for the skin enzymes that break down collagen in the skin, causing it to sag and wrinkle. Also found was that in comparison to non-smokers, smokers have on average more wrinkles and a tendency toward a grayish color. In addition, the aging process for non-smokers will start to show its telltale signs of wrinkles around the mouth and eyes somewhere around early 30s. Discuss other lifestyle changes with your skin care profes­sional that can help evade the early signs of aging.


A 200-year-old Japanese therapy derived from Buddhist practices, Reiki is a 21 pressure-point remedy based on a life force energy” that balances the immune system and its healing ability. Practitioners believe that by placing hands on a client’s face, stomach or neck, a flow of en­ergy can dissolve blockages that lead to illness, imbal­ance and stress. Energy from the body moves to the hands, giving the skin a crimson, warmed appearance, increasing circulation and ridding the body of toxins. Reiki might be used during a facial or body wrap to help calm you, and for those who are concerned about mod­esty the process can be applied while frilly dressed. Dis­cuss options or referrals for this and other rejuvenating services with your skin care professional.
