"It is so important to use only natural products on the body--and Mother Nature has been bountiful in this department--too many beauty products contain chemicals that may actually be harmful to one's health. These chemicals can be absorbed through the skin and get spread via the bloodstream to other organs. Sylvia is committed to her clients' health and uses only the best natural products for the skin--your body will be so thankful!"

Eminence announces some exciting new products dubbed the Sweet Cheeks Collection. A delicious strawberry and rhubarb combination which contains natural Salicylic acid and plant based Hyaluronic acid. Salicylic acid is an exfoliant that removes dead skin, and is found naturally in strawberries. The rhubarb is a natural astringent and disinfectant, containing lots of vitamin C for healing.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance that we produce less of as we get older, and it works by binding itself to the water in our bodies. This means internally it helps lubricate joints, skin, eyes and arteries. For more information on this vital supplement available at Skin Care at Civano for only $34 + tax (much less than normal retail!), go to www.hyalogic.com.

Hyaluronic acid is also used topically in creams and serums for additional hydration. It helps to plump the skin through its ability to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water and deeply penetrate the layers of our skin.

Retail Sweet Cheeks items available are a Strawberry Rhubarb Masque with Hyaluronic Acid for $52, and Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic serum for $42. Some clients have asked what is the purpose of serums. The best analogy is that your regular skin care items, like moisturizer, are food for your skin, while serums are like vitamin supplements. Like supplements they are designed to address specific conditions such as acne, loss of elasticity etc. The Strawberry Rhubarb Serum is designed to plump and hydrate, while minimizing fine lines.

There is also an exciting Dermafoliant (a lactic acid exfoliant ) which will only be available for salon use, watch for a luscious strawberry facial coming soon!

As you know, one of the most important functions of Skin Care at Civano is to provide education about dangerous toxins in personal care products. One of our best resources is The Environmental Working Group; a non-profit in Washington D.C. where they test and lobby for safe products. If you have not already done so, check out their website at www.cosmeticsdatabase.com. There was also an article in the New York Times recently, which I have available at the salon, or you can access via the following link: New Alarm Bells About Chemicals and Cancer:
