INSTITUTE & Day Spa

After the first insane flurry of New Year activity it’s the perfect time to head to the spa! Whether you’re buzzing with optimism for 2016 or still feeling a little of the back-to-reality blues, here’s a selection of the latest perk-you-up spa packages to choose from.

SUGGESTED SUMMER FACIALS Although facials are suggested throughout the year, the intense heat of summer can cause increased damage and dryness to your skin. Facials can be relaxing, but they are also ideal for protecting, replenishing and repairing your skin. Here’s our guide for summer facials that combat a variety of skin-related issues.

1. INNOVATIVE & NEW from HSR

ANTI-WRINKLE LIFTING TREATMENT

It will exceed your expectations! Reserve your personal lifting experience today and enjoy the exclusive qualities and benefits of the new exclusive HSR Lifting Collection. The skin appears fresh and smooth with redefined facial contours. R1 695.

2. BANISH BLEMISHES WITH A DEEP CLEANSE Whether we call it sweating or “glowing,” the summer heat makes us perspire, accelerating the congestion of pores and often making acne-prone skin even more difficult to maintain. With our one-hour Deep Cleanse Facial, you can clear those pores and reduce the unwanted oil that causes irritating breakouts. You leave feeling hydrated and ready to show off your fresh-faced look. R495.

3. MUCH-NEEDED RELAXATION Even though summer is full of sunshine, getaways, and time with the family, it can also feel busy and hectic. It’s important to squeeze in a little “me time” for yourself. Our Oxygen Facial is the perfect way to replenish not only your mind, but your skin. It gives an energy and moisture boost with pure encapsulated oxygen. Diarise an hour and a half – cost is R755.

4. LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE Our revolutionary Microdermabrasion treatment exfoliates skin to retexture and increase cellular renewal to achieve beautiful, healthy and more youthful skin. Single MDA session – R455. Course of five R1 895.

5. BABOR for MEN FACIAL Modern men are spending a fortune on grooming. We offer a Babor for MEN Facial – relaxing and deep-cleansing with facial pressure-point massage. R695.

From the age of just 40, your skin starts to lose its elasticity and tone. Gravity causes sagging and supportive tissue becomes less elastic as a result of the reduction of collagen and elastin. Then there are expression lines caused by overactive facial expressions and a constant tension of the facial muscles. Typical expression lines are crow's feet, frown lines, forehead wrinkles and lip lines - a frequent occurrence among smokers. As if that’s not enough, there are small lines and wrinkles caused by dry skin. These tend to develop on the cheeks, chin, neck and décolleté. BABOR research has set yet another milestone in the field of cosmetic lifting – the development of five high-performance active ingredients that comprehensively combat the causes of the development of wrinkle – and they are present in the new-formula HRS Lifting range. Your skin receives a personal lifting treatment. It feels smooth and facial contours have a more defined appearance while wrinkles and lines are visibly and continuously reduced. Viva our new, high-performance, anti-wrinkle formula HSR! On sale now.

TIPS AFTER HAVING A FACIAL HYDRATE! Your skin craves water when it’s hot outside, especially after having a facial. Keep the moisture locked in by drinking about 2 litres of water per day. CONTINUE your daily skincare routine. After a facial, pores are open and cleaned out, meaning that they are susceptible to dirt and make-up. Be sure to cleanse and moisturise before bed, especially if you reapplied make-up. PROTECT: wear sunscreen! Now that your skin is extra clean and exfoliated, be sure to protect it with a higher SPF sunscreen. Ask your therapist for a recommendation.

Here’s a kinda cute “endorsement” from one of the big screen’s Glamour Queens. Catherine Zeta-Jones is happy to spill the beans about how she keeps her skin so dewy at 46. She has told how she uses Argan Oil to moisturise her complexion, saying she “saturates” her face with it to keep her looking youthful. We are very happy to agree with her sentiments as our Vita Balance Argan Nourishing Cream is one of our best sellers. It offers 24-hour intensive care with valuable Argan Oil to regenerate the skin's lipid layer

Homeopathy is a system of medicine that uses minuscule amounts of potentised substances to stimulate the body to heal itself. It works a little like a vaccination; a small amount of

a substance that can cause an illness can cure a similar illness. A great deal of skill required to select the correct remedy or

remedies to suit the individual.

Another of our top sellers in its new livery. Babor Lip Balm is worth its weight in gold so deserves the new-look golden case! BABOR’s in-house laboratories have developed a Deep- Pore Cleansing Mask that not only has an exfoliating effect but also refines the complexion.
