Did you know? November is National Healthy Skin Month! National Healthy Skin Month intentionally falls right before the holiday rush. This is a time of year when many people wonder what will help them to see healthier-looking skin by the holidays.

So, with many people looking for a solution for healthier skin this time of year, let’s explore some health tips and service offerings that members can find at the Golden Ocala Golf and Equestrian Club Spa and Salon.

Simple Changes Can Soothe Dry Skin

Following the same skin care routine year round may not work as well when the humidity drops. Without a change in your skin care, dry air can make fine lines and wrinkles more noticeable. Dry skin can itch, flake, and even crack. Therefore, my recommendation is the Hydrafacial. With just one Hydrafacial treatment, you will achieve noticeable, immediate results.

Exfoliation is Key

For the body, exfoliation is key to soft, smooth skin. If you want to get that beautiful glow and refreshed feeling of a full body skin care treatment, the Phytomer Full-Body Acid Peel Double Body Exfoliation is what I recommend. I experienced this treatment during my ISPA conference in October and I am being truly honest when I say that it is by far the BEST full body exfoliation I have ever experienced! I was so impressed with the results that I had to bring it to the Spa at Golden Ocala. Starting in Mid-December, this service will be available. Watch for the introductory offer coming in December!

Upcoming New Services

Other new services you can expect to see are Spray Tanning and Apple Stem-Cell treatment for the hands and feet. Members: to learn more about our Spa and Salon services or to schedule a complimentary consultation, call the Spa desk at 352-402-4350. Mention you read this blog and receive a $10 credit towards any Spa service (offer expires 1/1/14)!
