Skincare Housewives of Vancouver-style!

If you’ve been following the glamorous gals from the new reality show The Real Housewives of Vancouver, you’ll know that they have very exquisite taste from clothing to cars to houses and everything in between.  Not to mention their beauty rituals; all the best in skincare, makeup, haircare, and of course cosmetic enhancements!  At Spa Boutique we offer some very luxurious products, and while some of our customers do opt all-in, most are more apprehensive and select only one or two of these items at a time.  Let’s take a look at one of our most high-end, creme-de-la-creme skincare lines: Carita Luxury Beauty Care.  I’ve selected some of the most desirable products for anti-aging and put them together in a Housewives of Vancouver-style beauty routine.

Step 1: Cleanse (morning & evening)                    

Cleanse your skin using Carita Progressif Anti Rides Cleansing Beauty Emulsion ($72.00).  This milky emulsion gently cleanses the skin and eye area while softening, soothing, and hydrating the skin.

Step 2: Tone (morning & evening)

Finish the cleansing process, tone, and wake up your skin with Carita Progressif Anti Rides Comforting Beauty Lotion ($72.00).

Step 3: Exfoliate (2-3 times per week)                      

Speed up your skin’s natural exfoliation process to smooth lines, brighten, and soften your skin with Carita Progressif Anti Rides Intense Smooth Micro Peel ($91.00).  This gentle peel dissolves dead skin cells using enzymes and the skin is also lightly polished when the peel is feathered off (gommage-style) once dry.

Step 4: Masque (2-3 times per week)

Boost your results greatly by using the Carita Progressif Anti-Age Biological Face Mask ($99.00).  This creamy masque instantly brightens, softens, sooths, and relaxes the skin.

Step 5: Concentrated Serum (morning & evening)

The Carita Progressif Parfait The Perfect Gold Serum ($310) contains real gold powder to illuminate the skin.  It also fights free radicals and works to reduce all of the visible signs of aging.

 

 

Step 6: Moisturize & Protect (morning & evening)

Set back time with the Carita Progressif Parfait Perfect Cream ($399).  This youth-renewing skin cream nourishes, softens, and detoxifies to restore radiance.  Wrinkles and fine lines are smoothed and skin is more firm and toned.

Step 7: Eye Care (morning & evening)

Protect and correct damage in the eye contour area with Carita Progressif Parfait Perfect Cream for Eyes and Lips ($173.00).

 

Now, just add a little golden luxury to your hair with OroFluido Hair Elixir and you’re ready for your close-up!

Wake up your Skin with a Yonka Mini Facial

It doesn’t get much better than skin care with the amazing aroma and power of natural essential oils! Yonka is a pioneer in phytoaromatic skin care and has been researching and developing amazing products since the 1950s. At the heart of Yonka’s skin care range is their exclusive blend of 5 essential oils which includes lavender, cypress, rosemary, thyme, and geranium. Yonka also uses plant, fruit, and marine extracts which act to balance, soothe, revive, and regenerate the skin.

One of the (many) things we love about this line is the immediate result you get from using these products. Many of our clients complain about lack of vitality, dullness, and de-hydration around this time of year. Our answer? A mini at-home Yonkaa facial to get your skin ready for holiday celebrations! Here’s how:

1. Cleanse with Lait Nettoyant if you have normal-dry skin
This milky cleanser will remove makeup and impurities, smooth, and soften the skin.

1. Cleanse with Gel Nettoyant if you have normal-oily skin
This foamy gel will remove makeup and impurities, refreshes, and purifies the skin

2. Tone with Yonka Lotion (either normal to dry & sensitive or normal to oily)
An alcohol-free mist with natural, invigorating aromas

3. Exfoliate with Gommage 305 if you have normal-dry skin and Gommage 303 if you have normal-oily skin
These non-abrasive, gel exfoliators reveal smooth, supple, radiant skin by gently removing dead skin cells.

4. Tone with appropriate Yonka Lotion

5. Mask with Hydratant 60
This is a refreshing gel mask which deeply hydrates, softens, firms, and helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

6. Tone with appropriate Yonka Lotion

7. Apply either Dermol 1 (normal-oily skin), Dermol 2 (dry skin), or Dermol 3 (sensitive skin)
These highly concentrated formulations hydrate, smooth, and brighten skin while providing an excellent make-up base.

8. Moisturize with Pamplemousse (normal-dry or normal-oily skin)
This lightweight cream energizes, brightens, and alleviates skin dullness with grapefruit extract and essential oils.

9. Apply Phyto-Contour to eye contour
This eye treatment cream reduces dark circles and puffiness, firms, refreshes and relaxes the eye area.

Now that your skin has been made-over with this beautiful skin care line all that you have to worry about is your hair (and that’s another blog post altogether!). And please, use pure mineral makeup so that you don’t clog your newly de-toxified skin with a gross, mystery ingredient-filled, conventional makeup. As always, our favorite mineral makeup lines are Jane Iredale Mineral Makeup and Youngblood Mineral Makeup.
