Our ingredient focus this week:  Virgin Coconut Oil (Cocos Nucifera Oil)

Source: Cold pressed from the fruit of palm trees native to the tropics.

Description: This non-greasy skin conditioning oil serves as a protective layer on the skin to help retain moisture.   Mild nature makes it suitable for inflamed, irritated and sensitive skin.  Coconut oil also acts as a formulation stabilizer and can promote lather.

Benefit: Virgin Coconut Oil promotes skin and hair health.  When applied topically to hair and skin, will act as an anti-bacterial or germicidal agent.  It acts as a natural anti-oxidant to our skin and hair thus making it feel young, healthy, smooth, elastic and supple.

Found in: Four Truffles Body Butter and Body Smoother

Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind…

Go Early – Tuesday and Wednesday are the easiest days to get an appointment, and morning hours are usually less busy than the afternoon.  Also keep in mind that people cancel frequently so it’s a good idea to ask the spa to call you in the event someone cancels their appointment.

Take time to review the Spa Menu – Let the experts combine and recommend a couple of treatments for you.  Spa packages are a great way to get that feel good spa experience you deserve, not to mention the benefit of saving some money with special packages.

Method to your Spa Visit – Yes, getting treatments in the proper order makes a difference!  It should look like this:
- massage, waxing, facial, pedicure and then manicure.
Waxing before getting a massage could result in nasty ingrown hairs because there’s a chance your pores could get clogged.   Once you have a facial and feeling clean and fresh, the last thing you want is to put your face into the cradle for a massage.  Lastly, once your nails are looking pretty you don’t want to get them smudged.

End on a relaxing note – do you ever get out of the spa feeling so relaxed you just don’t want it to end?  Well… the solution is to avoid making plans for that evening.  Go home, relax, soak it all in – literally.  Allow all the product nutrients do their job by penetrating the skin.

You will be amazed how these simple tips can make your next Spa experience more relaxing!

Jojoba by treegrow

Source: This unique Jojoba plant is native to the arid Sonora Desert and blooms in this American Southwest region.

Description: a liquid wax extracted from a woody shrub that is blessed with natural antioxidants, including Vitamin E, omega-9 fatty acids and oleic acid that mimic skin to regulate moisture without blocking pores .  Unlike many other vegetable oils, Jojoba oil is very similar to human sebum making it an effective moisturizer and protector.

Benefit: Commonly called an oil, it is actually a liquid wax ester used for superior personal care products.  It adds shine to hair and imparts gloss and moisture to skin.  Jojoba deeply penetrates and conditions the skin.

Moisturizing is still key in any regimen no matter what season we are in.  In warmer weather you can certainly get away with a lighter moisturizer.  Don’t be fooled with Four Truffles body butter… sounds heavy right?  Actually it’s not because it’s whipped nicely , it’s texture is very light plus it absorbs on skin immediately.

Another essential routine is exfoliating.  A gentle exfoliator is always best especially for those who have very sensitive skin.  Four Truffles body smoother is gently formulated with sugar crystals that will do the trick and melt right onto your skin.  It’s also loaded with rich fatty acids from argan oil and olive oil which is why most people find it unnecessary to use lotion after scrubbing.

Lastly, diet and exercise.  Nothing completes welcoming the new season than healthy diet and a good exercise routine.  These are the things that matter the most if you want to glow with the new season!

Four Truffles 3 step body care regimen provides your skin with effective anti-aging ingredients that will make you feel good about your skin.  We have organic and natural ingredients formulated that gently cleanses, deeply moisturizes and created for those with sensitive skin.  Our key ingredients Argan and Olive Oil, Shea butter plus our scientific delivery system = 4TPDN complex, can be found in all our products.
