5 Facials to a more youthful skin in Napa Valley

Greenhaus Day Spa offers 5 specific facial treatments for immediate and long lasting results.

Delaying the signs of aging and looking more youthful are top priority for most of us. While having a monthly facial treatment reveals a clean revitalized skin, one should consider using a varied approach to facial treatments to more specifically treat and delay aging in the skin. Having a more clear strategic plan to tackle the aging factor calls for changing up regular skincare treatments tonurture a more vibrant, resilient, and healthy complexion.
Boosting the skin with “active” treatments can be good, yet the ability to restore balance and have a restingperiod between treatments gives the skin time to repair and regenerate properly. Having a facial treatment more frequently, perhaps every two or three weeks steps up active treatments while still giving the skin time to restorebalance and will affect greater results.

5 Facial Treatments at Greenhaus Day Spa that show immediate results:
Intraceuticals Oxygen Infusion treatment - will revive and replenish with multi-weight hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and antioxidants to dramatically hydrate and transform your skin.

All-About-you-Facial - Specialty treatment to focus on specific skin needs and customizes the treatment to be inclusive of deep cleansing, exfoliation, massage, and specialized expert mask. May combine microdermabrasion or peeling determined by needs.

Celltressor Facial treatment - A lifting peptide treatment to infuse the skin with Dr Spiller Celltressor protein peptides to lift and firm. An all-inclusive experience firming and restorative to the skins natural protection barrier functions.

Essence of Being Facial - Decleor signature aromatherapy treatment with back pressure point envelopment combined with targeted active ingredients. A sensory experience of absolute effectiveness and well-being.

Greenhaus Signature Boost Facial - with SkinCeuticals award winning B5 gel. A powerful 30-minute boost to infuse the skin with hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5. NuFACE microcurrent re-energizes and rejuvenates the skin, delivering both, immediate and long-term results.
In addition to these facials an LED light treatment is hugely effective and can be added to any of your facial treatments. The Infrared promotes healing in theskin, while stimulating collagen and elastin, and smoothing lines and wrinkles.

Just like a great exercise workout, skincare results start to show and continue to build as one develops the treatment schedule to focus on specific needs and bring diversity to the active treatment used. This approach does not only boost your homecare products, it works to continually improve the quality and beauty of the skin, which in turn helps the skin become even more responsive to products and future treatments.
Effective skincare is essential in supporting a spa facialtreatment plan and varying your home regime can also be extremely effective. Here at the Greenhaus Day Spa in Napa our estheticians can prescribe the right home care to complement your individual skin care needs.

Detox for Beauty in Napa

A New Years Detox resolution you’ll love to accomplish at Greenhaus Day Spa in Napa. Now that the New Year is here, many of us are having a bit of trouble “queezing” back into those favorite jeans. Not only are the jeans a bit tighter, you may be noticing a few “lumpy bumpy’s” on the leg and thigh area that weren’t there before the Holiday’s….
Time to toss out the last of all those Holiday treats, and get back on your personal wellness plan. The beginning of a new year is the perfect time to Detox and cleanse your system, giving new enthusiasm to ticking off your New Year’s resolution’s as completed. With this in mind our Greenhaus Team put together the perfect Treatment to kick-start your 2012 program with body beautiful steps.

Our PURE BEAUTY treatment combines a M’lis Contour Wrap with our special 30-minute BOOST Facial for total renewal.
Getting rid of toxins in the body is the first step in smoothing and improving tone to the skin. At Greenhaus Day Spa we offer the Mlis Program, which incorporates professional spa treatments, and home care products to support body smoothing cellulite wraps and a nutritional plan for eating cleansing foods. The goal is to create an environment in the body that helps eliminate current cellulite buildup while preventing future accumulation. Done once, or in a series to support an immediate or more long-term approach solving cellulite concerns, this treatment will boost your overall internal restorative processes for complete body beauty wellness.
Our Spa wrap treatment stimulates lymphatic circulation to cleanse and release trapped waste in the connective tissue eliminating disfiguring deposits and stimulate inch loss. This 75-minute treatment activates an internal cleansing, so drinking at least half of your weight in ounces of water will ensure the effectiveness of this treatment.

There are 4 key steps to success with your cleansing and slimming program:
1. Regular Body Wrap Treatments - to help free and remove trapped waste in the connective tissue, eliminating internal disfiguring deposits and stimulating inch loss.
2. Eating cleansing foods - fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean protein rather than clogging foods, chemicals and empty calories.
3. Daily exercise - to encourage circulation and overall health
4. Massage - assist toxin elimination

As for home care and personal wellness, one may consider an internal body cleanse or detoxification to flush build-up in the colon and clear toxins from the body. Performing a Detox can help to strengthen the digestive system so it works more efficiently, strengthen the body’s vital organs and maximize one’s immune system.

We suggest the Mlis Detoxification Kit, which contains 3 steps to a complete internal cleansing process:
Body Purifier – Herbal formula to help remove toxins and purify the bloodstream while cleansing the lymphatic system.
Intestinal Cleanser – Herbal bowel tonic, to clear and provide nutrients to help restore parastolic action of the colon.
Wheat Bran and Psyllium – restores dietary fiber to the intestines without calories and combat constipation.

Our team suggests having a series of wrap treatments while doing a cleansing detox program. To support your New Year’s resolution for personal wellness join Greenhaus Spa on Facebook, and follow the Mlis Dump Your Junkpromotion for a revitalized approach and information to keep your goal in sight.

6 Steps to Winterizing your skin at Greenhaus Spa

With the colder days and nights of winter even here in Napa Valley, some of our Day Spa clients wonder, why we’re all finding our skin to be a bit more temperamental. Too tight, too dry, a bit blotchy and even itchy. Our steadfast home care regime doesn’t seem so steadfast any more. A change in climate brings a change in our exposure to daily elements. Things as simple as central heating can be enough to cause drastic changes in our skin. Time to take a closer look and re-work your home skincare regime.

At Greenhaus Day Spa, we like to share 6 simple steps to ensuring a more radiant, hydrated skin.
1. Evaluate your cleanser.
A tight uncomfortable skin is a sure indicator you need a gentler cleanser for winter. Try using a richer mousse cleanser or a milk cleanser in the winter months. Dr. Spiller Aloe Vera Cleansers offer a choice of either foaming gel or milk and leave the skin silky soft.
2. Is your moisturizer enough?
Lighter weight lotions can be just as effective as thicker formulations, although you may want to ensure your moisturizer is providing enough moisture for you. A lighter moisturizer provides humectants and attracts moisture to the skin, while richer formulations will hold and protect moisture from evaporation.
3. Add a serum.
Adding a serum under your moisturizer will boost moisture content in the skin as well as the hydrating benefits of your cream. Try Intraceuticals Rejuvenate Hydration Gel to instantly hydrate, and provide a reservoir of anti-aging nutrients. We also recommend Dr. Spiller Silk Serum with silk proteins, hyaluronic, and shisandra extract revitalize and refine skin needing extra care.
4. Adjust your night cream.
If you are experiencing more surface dryness, you may need to change your night cream to enhance the skin’s natural biologic rhythms. We recommend Decleor Aroma Night Balm, 100% pure, natural and preservative-free, these balms have a silky and delicious texture, conditioning and protecting the skin with specific plant botanicals.
5. Take body care seriously.
Be careful not to shower in excessively hot water for long periods of time. This will rob the skin of essential oils needed to maintain the skin’s natural protection barrier function. For really dry itchy skin, use a gentle, hydrating body shampoo and finish your shower with a cool rinse. Apply conditioning body oil while still wet, then lightly towel off. This can be followed with application of a body moisturizer if needed. We suggest Olivina ultra pure body product’s with skin pampering conditioner’s 100% free of parabens and sulfates. Try the Classic Olive Oil Body Butter. Rich in Shea butter, extra virgin olive oil, grape seed oil, coconut and sweet almond this ultra soft textured cream helps to maintain the skin’s moisture balance.
6. Adjust your makeup base.
The usual matte finish may look flat on a dehydrated complexion. Try a lighter formula makeup or you can simply mix a drop of eye cream into your under eye concealer, and a drop of moisturizer into your makeup base to give a more hydrated finish and coverage. Consider a translucent powder in the winter instead of a matte finish powder. For dryer complexions, eliminate the use of powder all together for a more luminous looking makeup.

When time permits, stop into your neighborhood Day Spa here in Napa Valley for a mini-pick up treatment to boost the skins functions and hydrate at a much deeper level. Here at the Greenhaus Spa our specialists have crafted a Januray Special to tackle the winter skin blues and ensure a beautiful hydrated skin.
