August 2, 2016


  August is a great month to take it easy! Hot summer days, makes us feel lazy and it feels good to have nothing pressing on the agenda. Getting to the beach, reading a good book in the garden and taking naps is our dreamy priority. As the summer heats up so does our skin. Be sure to take extra good care of your skin as excess oil and sebum often cause breakouts and of course too much sun causes sun damage!  Skin Deep will take care of you and soothe your skin with a cool purifying Quannessence facial. Read on to learn more.

Cool Purifying Facial 
This facial uses icy cold water to cleanse and cool the skin. Light  Purifying  cleanser are applied to  rid the skin of acne causing bacteria and oil build up. A facial massage will relax and nourish the skin, followed by a purifying mask to calm, cool and soothe the skin. Cool healing water is applied over the mask and left to work its magic while a head massage is given. This facial also includes an eye treatment to calm puffiness under the eyes and to soften expression lines.

Did you know that the Botanical Brush can be used for more than just cleaning your make-up brushes?
The fresh citrus essential oil scent is very pleasant and can be used to sanitize your hands without drying your skin, spray it on your hair brush to purify any oil and sebum from your hair and scalp, spray your personal foot paddles and nail files after use. It also makes a great room spray to freshen stale air or in the kitchen to help rid of strong food odours, a little spritz can help to freshen your purse or cloth bags. And is highly recommended to be used daily this time of year on your make-up brushes to keep them clean and to help prevent bacteria on your brushes from being transferred
onto your skin.

Wash and Go
Summer can be busy and when you add into the mix hot humid days and late nights, sometimes we feel to tired to bother with the normal skin care regime. Magic Mitt to the rescue. This soft cloth mitt will cleanses your skin with just water without stripping it. Great for the occasional lazy night. Just Rinse and hang to dry. This cloth is anti bacterial and anti microbial. Super for travel.
