As you stride through Philly this winter, you should be thinking about skin care. If you pride yourself on glowing, beautiful skin, you probably already know that. At Green City Beauty, we’re proud of it too; and for that reason we ensure that all-natural ingredients go into all of our skin care services here in Philadelphia.
The art of all-natural and glowing skin is simpler than you might think. Once Nature’s signaled that winter’s begun, you can keep your skin’s warm-weather glow going by investing in a few all-natural remedies.
Hyaluronic Acid
Despite its name, this natural substance is far from harsh on skin. When you apply hyaluronic acid, you replenish the moisture and lock-in moisture. As a result, skin looks smooth and supported.
Keeping moisturized only gets harder the older we get. Hyaluronic acid smooths and softens skin, lessening the appearance of lines and wrinkles in the process. Hyaluronic acid even acts as an antioxidant, and can relieve irritation from skin conditions like rosacea.
Manuka Honey
At Green City Beauty, we remain one of Philadelphia’s best waxing alternative and skin care salons, thanks to the sweetness of our services and our ingredients. As far as honeys go, you can’t get more skin-friendly than New Zealand Manuka honey.
Because of its high quality, honey from New Zealand is rich in enzymes and antioxidants. We apply it as a mask, adding some organic milk powder to the mix. After an afternoon with an enhancing Manuka honey mask your skin will be as bright, clarified, and ultra-moisturized as can be.
Jojoba Oil
Since the days of the pharaohs, men and women have been moisturizing during the winter with all-natural jojoba oil. Capable of soothing, moisturizing, and healing blemishes, burns, and dried and chapped skin, it’s one of our favorite oils. With a few drops, you can soften lips, condition hair, and moisturize any surface of your body.
Sugar, Sugar, Sugar
We sing it like the sweetest song we know—sugar’s great on your skin, serving as an exfoliator and, when used for hair removal, a perfect alternative to Brazilian waxing! Body sugaring can help clarify and soften your skin during the winter, by gently removing unwanted hair along with dead skin cells in the process.
Call Green City Beauty today to get all the benefits from these all-natural ingredients. And don’t forget to schedule one of our hydrating facials so you stay radiant during the Philly holidays!
