Need a brightening boost? The next time you visit your favorite spa, ask your esthetician to boost your facial with antioxidants. Many spas and skincare specialists now offer highly concentrated antioxidant facials as standalone treatments or add-ons. City gals: these treatments were designed with you in mind. These treatments target skin damaged by the sun and environmental pollutants. They help undo the ravages of stress, poor air quality, lack of sleep and (ahem) too much partying. While actual treatments vary according to the establishment, here are some of our favorites:
Vitamin C Treatment
This treatment is usually an ala carte option. It uses ultra-potent Vitamin C serums and masks to rejuvenate and resuscitate environmentally damaged skin. This potent Vitamin C treatment is especially beneficial for smokers, making dull skin look smoother, firmer and radiant. It also helps reduce brown spots and melasma.
Antioxidant
Berry Treatment
Blueberries brighten and cranberry enzymes lightly exfoliate. This quick and easy treatment makes the skin incredibly smooth and soft. An added bonus—there’s virtually no irritation! Perfect just before a hot date or any major event.
Enzyme Antioxidant Mask
As part of a traditional facial, an enzyme mask with vitamins A, C, E and green tea is applied to boost circulation and helps to firm sagging skin.
Pumpkin Peel
This potent peel is fabulously anti-aging and smells good enough to eat! Not only does it lightly exfoliate the skin, it stimulates collagen for improved elasticity and tone. A great option for mature skin types that can`t tolerate irritating microdermabrasion or AHA peels.
Alpha Lipoic Refining Treatment
A healing antioxidant, Alpha Lipoic Acid, improves skin tone and texture, lessens the look of large pores and makes the skin glow. The Alpha Lipoic Acid Refining Treatment can be used alone or as an add-on to another treatment.
Dark Chocolate Mask
Did you know that creamy and sinful cocoa is also a nourishing skin treatment? The Organic Dark Chocolate Mask treatment is loaded with iron, magnesium, vitamins, and antioxidants. Combined, these ingredients thoroughly cleanse the skin skin, leaving it soft and sweet.
Green Tea Treatment
