As the seasons change, skin care also changes. The Spa at Gervasi Vineyard Resort & Spa knows just what you need to protect or restore your skin in any season.
As the weather goes from bright, warm sun to cooler temperatures and less sunlight, Brooke Zarconi, the Spa’s operations manager, says, “As temperatures drop, many guests love indulging in deeply hydrating facials, our warmed Himalayan Salt Stone massages, and our Royal Milk and Honey body wrap. Treatments that focus on replenishing moisture and boosting circulation like our seasonal body scrubs and warm oil scalp treatments, are especially beneficial in fall and winter.”
Comes with the Weather
What effects does the cooler air and less natural sunlight have on the skin and hair of people of all ages?
Brooke mentioned, “Cooler air and reduced humidity can lead to dryness, flakiness, and sensitivity in the skin, while hair may become more brittle and prone to static. The decrease in natural sunlight also reduces Vitamin D exposure, which can affect overall skin health and mood. People of all ages can experience the effects of colder weather, though dryness and dullness become more pronounced with age. Preventive care can begin as early as the 20s, and treatments are equally beneficial for men and women. Healthy, hydrated skin is timeless, and regular spa care supports it at every stage of life.”
Consistency is key, according to Brooke. She recommends moisturizing daily with rich creams, staying hydrated by drinking water, and protecting the skin from harsh winds with gentle, restorative products. Purchasing a 3-treatment series of the Linder Peels will help maintain hydration and elasticity throughout the season.
Ring in the Holidays
The holidays are just around the corner and will be upon us soon. Holidays are always a wonderful time to be with family, friends and co-workers, but it can also be a stressful time trying to get everything done and selecting meaningful gifts.
The Spa has many different skin care treatments and massages to brighten the holidays when needed. Plus, there are services to relax and restore you after the holidays.
Brooke says, “As the holiday season approaches, we recommend treatments that brighten and rejuvenate the skin, such as our Dr. Linder Peels to restore radiance and specialized eye treatments to combat fatigue. Knesko hydrating masks and nourishing massages also help restore balance after the stress and indulgence of the season.
“Fall and winter are the perfect times to treat yourself to restorative massages that ease tension from the cold and holiday stress. Consider pairing your spa visit with a glam visit for the celebrations of the holidays by getting a manicure and a makeup application to complete your seasonal escape. Our gift cards at The Spa also make thoughtful holiday presents, allowing loved ones to experience relaxation and self-care.”
If it is a celebration of holidays, it must be time to visit Gervasi Vineyard Resort & Spa.
