Be well, and I'll see you next issue,
“Why is it we have expensive shoes in the closet, designer clothes and expensive handbags, costly cell phones and we spend next to nothing on our skin? We only have one skin and one face.”
I sat shocked at a recent event at the Elmwood Spa in Toronto, Ontario when I heard those words and it resonated so much with me. I don’t think anyone has ever said those words quite so compellingly. Custódio d´Avó, Swiss Line`s International Marketing Director and spokesperson for the brand was speaking at the recent launch of Swiss Line’s 25th anniversary celebration. Wouldn’t you know a man would have to say that! While listening to the presentation and looking around the room filled with fellow professional women I realized I might not be the only one guilty of this crime. Not paying enough attention to my one and only skin should be an important priority in fact. We all lead busy lives and I can give 100 excuses why I haven’t been putting the right ingredients to put on my face and skin. But it is just that, excuses! So after the presentation I enjoyed a wonderful facial and while laying on the aesthetics table I vowed I would take better care of my number one item…. my skin.
So fast forward one month later and I have just been to a spa near me, the owner is a Russian aesthetician. She uses well-known professional products; she does an intense facial of the face, ears and neck that includes tons of extractions. It is a 2½-hour facial and she takes no prisoners! It is so thorough she recommends this twice a year. She is probably 60 years old and has the clear, beautiful skin of a 35 year old.
So the secret is simply this; feed your skin well, look after it and it will in turn look and feel fantastic.
A lesson learned and adhered to from now on!
How much is your face worth?
