“Here comes the sun, and I say it’s all right!” The Beatles Time to change up your skincare routine!

Spring into a skin detox journey by adding two non-negotiable ingredients: SPF and antioxidants... As weather patterns change, some of the products you use should also adjust to keep your skin balanced. We all know that overexposure to the summer sun and heat can result in pigmentation, dry skin and worsen any skin conditions so let’s get ready.

Vitamin C: The Prince of Vitamins! • #1 ingredients for defending the skin against free radicals, for stimulating collagen production and therefore a major line of defense of aging skin. • Regular use of a good vitamin C serum will result in a decrease in skin discoloration as well as a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It will also result in improved skin tone.

Our vitamin C serums favorites:

• DOCTOR BABOR Vitamin C Ampoules for instantly radiant, even, and smoother skin with 20% Vitamin C and linolenic acid that generates an instant glow effect. • iS Clinical Pro-Heal Serum Advance+ A do-it-all serum that boasts both anti-aging and anti-acne properties, and a stellar list of ingredients that work synergistically to improve the overall quality of skin.

How to change up your spa visits:

• Try the DR BABOR PRO Vitamin C facial. A treatment for demanding types of skin lacking radiance and suffering from signs of aging, such as wrinkles, loss of tone and elasticity. Ideal for skin that has minor sun damage. The highly stable vitamin C used in this treatment has an anti-oxidant effect and it evens out skin tone resulting in a smooth, fresh-looking complexion. At the same time, vitamin C stimulates collagen synthesis and improves firmness and elasticity.
Take home products: DOCTOR BABOR PRO Vitamin C concentrate contains 20% stable vitamin C and thanks to its antioxidative effect it minimizes pigmentation marks, age spots and uneven skin tone.

• Another superb treatment to add to your Spring skincare journey: The QMS Urban Repair facial. This treatment targets the damaging effects of daily pollutants in the skin and helps to repair the cellular structure to restore the skins natural wellness. It combines a deep pre decongestion with advanced treatment to support the detox process and accelerates epidermal regeneration and boost the metabolism.

Don’t leave the spa without: the QMS Ace Vitamin Day & Night Cream, this clever moisturizer has a built-in clock where during the day it protects and at night regenerates the skin. ACE Vitamin Cream protects during the day, relaxes your skin in the evening and regenerates during the night. This combination helps to improve the skin’s tone, restore a smooth texture and provide all day hydration.

• Legacy Balance’s September PROMO: 90mins for R950 great way to launch your warm weather skin care adjustments!

Put a spring in your skin care routine with a vitamin packed facial and therapeutic Back, Neck & Shoulder massage of your choice.

DON’T FORGET: Spring is the time of renewal of all things including your skin and is an ideal time to encourage exfoliation. Exfoliation and skin detoxification go hand in hand, as cells are constantly absorbing and eliminating nutrients and toxins within your body. The facial treatments listed above all include exfoliation to better detoxify skin, revealing a bright and beautiful complexion. SPF: No matter your skin tone, type, color always regularly apply a good quality SPF! Our SPF favorites: • QMS cellular sun shield SPF 50+ is a powerful formulation with balanced UVA/UVB sun protection and an innovative DNA-repair complex. • iS Clinical ECLIPSE SPF 50+ is available in Translucent or PerfecTint Beige, provides superior water-resistant broad-spectrum protection and is an ultra-sheer, lightweight formula that absorbs quickly for a non-greasy matte finish.
