5 Tips for Happy Skin this Winter…

• Use a humidifier or keep a dish of water on your nightstand to maintain a certain level of moisture in the air of your home or office. You may also add essential oils like lavender to enhance the overall aroma of a room.

• Hot showers are heavenly, but they tend to be very drying to your skin. Try lukewarm showers, and then pat your skin gently afterwards with a towel and apply a nourishing cream like our Spa Element Body Balm to lock in the moisture.

• Drink lots of water to keep your skin well hydrated, plus flush away harmful toxins from the body. You may also prevent winter colds by adding some orange and/or lemon slices for some extra Vitamin C.

• Be sure to use lip balms and lipsticks that contain moisturizers that will prevent dry, cracked lips.

• Don't skip the sun protection. Although the skin seems less exposed in the winter, ultraviolet rays can be particularly intense on a clear winter day. Our Favorite product is Yon-Ka's Ultra Protection - not only is it a terrific sun block, but it is an awesome anti-aging moisturizer too!

Massage is Beyond Luxury - It is a Necessity!


At the Face & Body spa, we believe in offering our clientele an escape from reality for a moment of time via the various services in which we offer. When it comes to "Spa-ing", massage is the most requested treatment. That being said, we like to offer our clientele a unique experience when it comes to this modality. Each client has the choice of a 70 or 90 minute service, which includes warm or cool compresses, customized body oil and massage.

Post treatment our therapists will review a variety of stretches that you may practice on your own, so you may keep your muscles relaxed and flexible. Also, they will recommend home care products that will be sure to maintain the results that were achieved in-spa.

There is a misconception that massage is purely a luxury, however, in this day and age, it is truly a necessity. It helps to enhance flexibility, metabolism, circulation, and lymphatic flow. Most importantly it reduces stress and tension, plus eases the symptoms related to PMS, arthritis, and other health imbalances. Massage is a wonderful modality that makes you aware of how well you are taking care of yourself. In a way, it encourages you to take better care of your body in order to keep it healthy, fit and balanced.

I'm sorry we've been away so long. It's been a busy few months; 2 staff had babies and 1 got engaged and bought a house, another moved to a new city and the spa moved to a beautiful new location. A few months may have passed but it's all worth the wait.. ... ... ..

We have handfuls of exciting news, but the most exciting to share today is Shannon Thompson joining or team. Shannon has worked on over 20 films in her make - up career thus far, toured with Alicia keys, Boys II Men, Missy Elliot and Keyshia Cole. Shannon has provided make up for President Barak Obama, Hillary Clinton, President Bill Clinton, Steve Wonder, Ossie Davis, Sharon Stone, Rza, Leah Thompson, Frankie Fasion, Black Thought (the roots)
and Patti Labelle, just to name a few and a countless amount of actor, performers, and celebrities in her career.

I experienced a make over with Shannon on Tuesday. It was an absolute pleasure. Shannon is wonderful to be around; Her personality is energizing, yet down to earth and she is so unbelievably creative. No wonder she has been such a success in her industry.

Not only did I look and feel beautiful, I learned great tricks about applying my make-up at home. There has been a tremendous difference in the ease of application and how long it lasts throughout the day. My eyes shadow hasn't creased and my lashes look longer and fuller! I am forever in her debt.

You don’t need to be a celebrity to look and feel like one.
Schedule with Shannon today.
Trust me, you'll be so happy you did and so will your partner or husband ;)
