Winter Skin Recovery Treatment

Everyone suffers from the winter skin blues. The Ultrabeauty Day Spa Winter Skin Recovery treatment helps to restore dry skin as a result of the winter weather. It also works as a great stress and tension reliever. This restorative combination of exfoliation, hydration and vitamin therapy, including food for skin (oatmeal mask and aloe vera gel), help to soothe and rejuvenate skin.


We begin with a cleanser to remove all trace impurities. Then, we exfoliate skin with the Daily Resurfacer exfoliater, focusing on dry skin, lines and wrinkles. This is followed by a double mask, including a mixture of Clinical Colloidal Oatmeal Mask and Aloe Vera Gel. There are numerous healing and nourishing benefits to both Aloe Vera and Oatmeal.

Using oatmeal in a facial mask can be a natural and effective way to treat many skin conditions, such as oily or dry skin, razor burns, acne, sunburn and even chicken pox. Antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties, contributed by substances called saponins, can be counted among the health benefits of Aloe Vera. The combination of these 2 powerful ingredients found in Aloe gives your skin a great look and indulges it with numerous vitamins and minerals.

See below for the complete details regarding the benefits of Oatmeal and Aloe Vera.

The Winter Skin Recovery Treatment can be done as a neck treatment in addition to a facial or as separate service. Book this treatment at Ultrabeauty Day Spa today!




Why Your Skin Craves Oatmeal

You probably know that oatmeal is a fiber-rich super food that does a terrific job of soaking up cholesterol and chasing it out of the body. But do you also know that it can perform mini miracles when applied to the skin? Oatmeal whisks away dead cells, irritation, and redness, leaving a soft, moist glow behind.
While this could be news to you, oatmeal's long been a staple among skin pros -- even ancient ones. Its skin-soothing powers were known as early as 2000 BC, and to this day, the FDA cites it as effective for relieving dryness and inflammation, including insect stings, rashes, and eczema. That's why finely powdered ("colloidal") oatmeal is sifted into soothing masks, body soaks and moisturizers.

There are four reasons why your skin adores oatmeal:
1. Fighting Dry Skin: Oats contain polysaccharides, which become gelatinous in water and leave a fine protective film on the skin, preventing dull, flaky dryness.
2. Moisturizing and Anti aging Oats are full of healthy, lubricating fats.
3. Defense building: The proteins in oatmeal help maintain the skin's natural barrier function, which ensures that the world outside the skin stays out, and what's inside the skin stays in.
4. Pore cleansing: Oats are filled with natural cleansers (called saponins) that gently remove dirt and oil from the pores.

Aloe Vera Gel 

Good for the Skin
One of the most popular health benefits of Aloe Vera is healing cuts, burns, psoriasis, shingles, itching, and other skin conditions. One of the remarkable properties of the gel is that it can penetrate layers of tissue and break down and digest dead skin cells. Aloe Vera can also anesthetize tissue and reduce inflammation, making it excellent for use as a topical pain reliever.

Good for the Body
A number of research studies have shown that the health benefits of Aloe Vera include internal uses as well. It seems that Aloe Vera can help boost immune system function by producing antibodies and helping to detoxify and cleanse the intestinal tract. Aloe Vera contains dozens of nutrients and active compounds, including vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that can provide a variety of nutritional health benefits.

More Health Benefits of Aloe Vera…
Aloe Vera also includes enzymes that aid digestion and reduce inflammation. It can help to improve circulation in the blood vessels and lymphatic system, and tone the kidneys, liver and gall bladder.
