A Day at Serenity Spa Louisville; The Grown up version of BFF

Contributed by San Dee Crabtree

“Best friends forever” describes Diane and Debra even though  Diane lives in Kentucky and Debra in Texas.  So when Diane got the news that her friend Debra was visiting, she immediately went to work.  What could they do to enjoy the visit?  Where could they go for plenty of peace and quiet to “girl talk?”

A quick internet search yielded a plethora of spas in Louisville, but Diane lucked upon one that stood out among the rest, the Serenity Spa in Anchorage.  “It was a beautiful small place that spoke ‘welcome’,” says Diane.

The girls decided to treat themselves to a package that included facials, massages, manicures and pedicures.  Debra has traveled and visited lots of spas in many areas and commented this was the “best experience anywhere bar none. The size and decor of the place made it intimate.  You felt like the staff was also your best friend and their service went beyond anything expected.”

Both ladies said they were surprised and happy that the staff phoned in an order for them at a local restaurant and they enjoyed their meal while having their pedicures together.  Both ladies commented on how laid back and comfortable the entire experience was.  “The spa facility was impeccable and you left feeling relaxed and knew undoubtedly you had received your monies worth.”

Diane and Debra both highly recommend this homey spa.  The girls could not quit talking about the comfy experience, especially versus the larger institutional spas. The massage, according to Debra, the traveler, “was one of the best. And believe me, I have had many.”

Debra couldn’t stop complimenting the atmosphere:  “it made the place,” she exclaimed.  Both women were in awe of the “real “customer service in this non-customer service world.  “One of the staff even recommend an over the counter product to solve a problem I mentioned to her.  Typically you would expect them to only tout their own products and services,” Debra boasted.  She was pleasantly surprised and both said there was not one part of the day better than the rest, and they are telling everyone to go to Serenity Spa and try it out.

At the end of the interview, they both said the same thing, “it is the best spa ever, go and see it for yourself.”

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

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!

How can a Serenity Spa facial help me Stress-Less?

Do you wake up each morning, look in the bathroom mirror, and begin to lament over the character lines you have aquired over the years? Are you beyond laughing at the crows feet and laugh lines? Are you stressing out over how to reverse the effects of the environment on your skin?

One of the most popular services at Serenity are our facials. Our phones quite literally ring off the hook with questions about the different types that we offer, but our clientell tell us all the time that they are now stress-less because we are helping them defy the passage of time.

About 70% of the population has treated themselves to a massage, but never taken the leap to experience a facial. Most people still believe that a facial is just a luxury for those with money to burn. What they don’t realize is that having a facial can actually improve your heath.

How, you ask? Well, our bodies shed over 30,000 dead skin cells a minute. That household dust you think is the bain of your existance? It is actually made up dead and dirty skin that once stuck to your face. I know, I know- you are never going to look at dust the same again.

Cosmetics, dirt from the environment, and plain old sweat breeds a filthy layer of grime and germs on your face. This layer is then decomposed by an overproduction of bacterial flora (flora which is a part of a healthy skin.) I know- EEEEWWWWW, right?

Unclean skin allows pathogenic organisms to grow, impeeding skin’s natural healing properties, and making your skin more easily prone to damage and infection.

A facial will clean and brighten your face immensely. REGULAR facials will nourish your skin so your appearance is always fresh, clean and glowing.

You should aim to schedule your facials every 4-6 weeks, the average amount of time it takes for the skin to regenerate.

Where is the stress lessened in the process? Serenity Spa facials are performed in our luxurious environment and designed to be a mix of clinical treatments and relaxing spa experiences. You are under no obligation to make conversation with your esthetician – this won’t hurt her feelings! Our goal is to have you leave Serenity with a smile on your face and the shackles of day-to-day stress far behind.

If you would like to learn more about what’s involved in getting a professional facial at Serenity Spa in Anchorage, or if you have any comments or questions, feel free to contact us. And don’t forget to leave your comments and reviews! Each unique comment you make enters your name in a drawing for one of two complimentary facials we are giving away this week.

Stay well and stress-less you fabulous soul, you!
