sweetgrass spa’s beauty and health tips straight from the mouths of the best Spa Therapists and Massage Therapists in the city!

Jenn

“Time management hair care: Use a hair mask when you’re in the shower. By the time I am done it is ready to rinse out. Try the Dr. Hauschka Neem Hair Oil to protect, strengthen and moisturize your hair. It’s antibacterial and antifungal properties are great for treating dandruff. Oils are the most effective way to hydrate down to the cuticle of the hair.”

Asmeret

“To make your manicure last longer, re-apply a top coat after 2 days. To prevent dry heels, use the Gehwol Foot Balm twice a day and do not walk around barefoot on your hard wood floors. The wood will absorb the oils from your feet causing them to dry out.”

Heather

“My favourite product for this time of year is the Dr. Hauschka Moor-Lavender Body Oil. Not only is it calming and soothing, but it also protects against negative energy and is great for eczema.”

Lourdes

“My New Years resolution is to achieve flawless and glowing skin. I love glycolic peels to reduce large pores, wrinkles and sun damage.”

Cassandra

“I am a firm believer in exfoliating and using a masque to ensure cellular turnover and optimum absorption of product. However, between work and my son, I have little time for extras at home. Once a week after cleansing and exfoliating, I will apply a facial masque and let it absorb while I do my household chores. ‘Me time’ does not take any extra time and afterwards I feel amazing!”

Leslie

“Beta-Carotene, an ingredient found in carrots, is great for eye health. It not only improves our vision, but can correct and maintain the skin around the eyes with regular consumption. While raw carrots pack the most nutritional value, you can also cook them and still enjoy their benefits. Roasted is my personal favourite.”

Julie

“The stress of daily life causes tension to build up in the body, which blocks the natural flow of energy, causing illness.  Reiki and Reflexology releases this tension and restores the natural flow of energy.”

Monique

“These days, we are all short on time, so choose a “friendly not stuffy” spa. This way, you can relax and expect to feel recharged, while the details are taken care of.”

Krista

I am a big fan of the ‘natural look’ and keep my skin healthy so I only need the most minimal makeup. I am dedicated to my day moisturizer, and at night use concentrated serums to hydrate the skin. Try Dermalogica’s Hydrating booster. I also love the SkinCeuticles Phyto Corrective Gel during the day to reduce redness so I can show off my skin rather than cover it up.
