A Facial can be a Zen Experience?

A Facial can be a Zen Experience?

Sure it can!  Look at this way… a facial is the sloughing off of the old and beginning with the new. Let’s look at this  parable:

Once upon a time, two Zen monks were walking along a mountain trail; they reached a stream and met a lady who wanted to cross to the other side.

The older monk volunteered to carry her on his back. After they got to the other side, she got off, thanked the monk and they parted.

Throughout the rest of the journey, there was complete silence as both monks kept walking…finally the younger monk could not stand it anymore, and asked “Master, I thought we are not supposed to have body contact with the opposite sex?”

The older monk turned and gave a surprised look and said, “I have already let her go after we crossed the stream, why are you still carrying her?”

We have to learn to let go of the past and move on with the future. In this way a Serenity Spa facial is an exercise in being Zen. By letting go of the cares of the day and relaxing during a facial, we are being like the older monk in the story.

Don’t forget…we are still giving away two facials from Serenity Spa this week. Be sure to comment here or on our Facebook page to enter for a chance to win a free Serenity Spa Facial!

A Wrinkle in time…or a wrinkle due to time?

Stress runs our daily lives. It can drag us down physically and emotionally. One place this shows up is in our faces. Have you ever heard the saying, “Time marches on?” Well, it does and it marches right across our faces. A facial can release stress in your mind and body and help stall the ravages of time. It can make you feel brand new. Here at Serenity Spa we offer a complete experience with our Ultimate Facial.
These facials are amazing and are a wonderful option for a mature skin or someone who wants to stop the aging process. We use DDF and Spa Technologies products during our facials. All our products are cosmecueticals and are sold through skin care professional because they have a higher concentration of active ingredients in them than products sold in drug or department stores. We also carry Dermesse at Serenity Spa in Anchorage which is a prescription strength product sold only through physicians or nurse practitioners. We have a relationship with a nurse practitioner allowing us to offer these incredible prescription strength products.
I love the Dermesse products. They will visibly change your skin in just a few months. One of my clients did the Ultimate Facial series at Serenity and started using Dermesse. After 3 months, she had friends asking her if she had gotten a face-lift! She is a very happy customer!
Here is another wonderful opportunity to stress less.

A Dab A Day Keeps The Crows Feet Away

How a good eye cream product can help you Stress-Less

Have you ever noticed those tiny lines around your eyes?

Laugh lines, people call them, although they are not very funny when you see them for the first time. Why am I bringing up such a sensitive subject, you may ask?

In my opinion, one of the most important products we can purchase and use on a daily basis is eye cream. That’s right, eye cream. Here at the Serenity Spa in Anchorage, we believe that our clients deserve the very best. That is why I wouldn’t suggest anything to you that I wouldn’t use myself. My personal favorites are the Spa Technologies Retinol Eye Serum and the Dermesse 10% vitamin C serum.

I have been using eye creams since I was 18 years old. When I attended my 30 year high school reunion, believe me, I was glad I did. While everyone there looked good, the crow’s feet around the eyes were very visible on many classmates, but not yours truly!

Your eyes and neck will show aging first. Don’t skimp on the eyes, use the best product you can afford and you’ll never regret it.

Remember, we are giving away two free facials this week at Serenity Spa in Anchorage. Time is running out! Be sure and leave a comment here or on our Serenity Spa Facebook page to enter for this wonderful giveaway!

Take care of you. You deserve it, you fabulous soul, you!

Stress-Less Tip #3- Habits

correct posture while sitting at a desk“The individual who wants to reach the top in business must appreciate the might of the force of habit and must understand that practices are what create habits. He must be quick to break those habits that can break him and hasten to adopt those practices that will become the habits that help him achieve the success he desires.” ~ J. Paul Getty

Our habits are the tools that create our bodies, our minds and our lives. If you have chronic tension in your muscles, more than likely it is because you have unknowingly developed  habits that create that tension. Take a hard look at yourself right now.

Are you sitting at your desk, slumped over the keyboard or with your shoulder all jacked up juggling your mouse, the phone and texting on your blackberry, all at the same time?

Is your computer screen too high or too low? Is your chair too high or too low? Are your legs crossed? Are you sitting sideways with your elbow on the desk?

Ever heard of ergonomics?

er·go·nom·ics

  (ûr’gə-nŏm’ĭks)   

n.  

  1. (used with a sing. verb) The applied science of equipment design, as for the workplace, intended to maximize productivity by reducing operator fatigue and discomfort. Also called biotechnology, human engineering, human factors engineering.
  2. (used with a pl. verb) Design factors, as for the workplace, intended to maximize productivity by minimizing operator fatigue and discomfort: The ergonomics of the new office were felt to be optimal.

What this means to you is stop putting your body into weird and unnatural positions to do your work! Learn to use good posture while working and you can prevent or correct much of the pain you feel at the end of the workday!

After you have corrected your ergonomic faux-paus, visit us online at www.serentityskincare.net and schedule an appointment with one of our massage therapists who can ease the tension in those over-stressed neck and back muscles.

Have a stress-less day, you fabulous soul you!
