Winter Skin Care - Hydrating Facial at Le Petit Spa

Phytomer Hydrating Facial at Le Petit Spa

In the winter, skin becomes more dehydrated due to changes in the weather. Cold air and wind outside, and dry heat indoors can wreak havoc on your skin.

Moisturizing your skin throughout the year is important, but especially important in the winter months. Moisturizing your skin protects it from drying out; therefore preventing flakiness, tightness, itchiness and irritation.

A good home care regime will help promote healthy skin and moisture levels, however; for an extra feel good pick-me-up, a Professional Hydrating Spa Facial will leave your skin velvety smooth, supple and plump with moisture.

Imagine yourself in a down duvet, warm and cozy on a cold, stormy winter’s day. Soft candle light embraces you as you sink into a relaxed and peaceful state of mind......

The Phytomer Hydrating Facial at Le Petit Spa uses moisturizing products that boosts the moisture content in your skin by 42% one hour after application. The use of three specific hydrating facial mask, serums and creams are all utilized in this intensive hydrating facial.


Below, the steps of the Phytomer Hydrating Facial are listed, along with benefits of each step.

Cleanse – Phytomer Hydrating Cleansing Milk. Gently Cleanses skin without stripping its moisture content.

Tone- Hydracontinue Comforting Toning Lotion – returns skin to a healthy Ph level while moisturizing.

Exfoliation – Gommage Marin – Removes the superficial layer of dead skin cells that dull your complexion. Removes impurities and leaves your skin with a glow.

Extractions – (if needed) A metal implement is used to apply pressure to each pore, gently extracting any impurities within. This step is non-invasive and does not cause damage to the skin.

Massage – Stimulates dry skin by increasing blood and lymph circulation (lymph is what nourishes and feeds our skin) Promotes overall feeling of well being.

First Two Masks – Phytomer Moisture Quench Mask is applied to the surface of the skin. Thermo-active Prestige mask is then applied over top of the first mask. This self heating marine mud mask causes the first mask to penetrate deeper into the inner layers of your skin. During this mask, you receive a soothing hand massage with Le Petit Spa’s Signature Hand Lotion.

Third Mask – This is the final mask; The Prestige Moisturizing Mask penetrates the skin and boosts the skins moisture content. The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles are diminished. The skin is plump and youthful looking.

Final Treatment Cream – this cream is chosen according to how dehydrated your skin is.
