When you reflect on the past month, can you pinpoint ways you made sure to take care of yourself?
For some, self-care can be as simple as pausing during the day to take 5 deep breaths, while others indulge in self-care by taking a lavish vacation. No matter how you choose to indulge in self-care, what really matters is that you are allowing yourself the opportunity to partake in it.
Personally, my favorite act of self-care is a visit to the spa.
Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa allows consumers to experience a luxury form of self-care, without breaking the bank. Offering a wide range of massage and facial services, the opportunities for obtaining Zen are endless at every Hand & Stone location (there are over 500 across the country!). My ideal spa day would consist of a Classic Clarity Facial from Hand & Stone with a Gua Sha add-on for lymphatic drainage.
If you have not experienced the calm, relaxing, sensations of a facial from your local Hand & Stone, you are in for a treat, and I am not just talking about the experience itself. All first-time visitors have a discounted rate of $69.95 for a classic facial. Yes, you read that right. And it doesn’t stop there. Visit their introductory page to view all first-time offers.
But isn’t a facial just skin care, and not self-care? I was not immediately convinced that taking care of my skin was an act of mindfulness either. I thought of it as simple hygiene. However, visiting Hand & Stone for a facial changed my perspective on this.
Below, I share four products that Hand & Stone estheticians recommend for upping your skin care routine. These products help to combat acne and maintain clearer, healthier skin.
- Clarity RX: Daily Dose of Water Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum – a moisture-binding lightweight serum for exceptional hydration.
- Clarity RX: ClearZit on The Spot Blemish Control – a spot treatment designed to treat unexpected and unwanted blemishes.
- Dermalogica: Biolumin-C Serum – a high performance serum that works with your skins own defenses to create brightness and firmness.
- Dermalogica: Biolumin-C Gel Moisturizer – a brightening vitamin c serum for daytime and nighttime skin care.
