blog #2 - 3 amazing and wonderful things that happened during my Vitamin Infusion facial!

I recently had a facial with the very talented Ashley Shmon, It was so healing and lovely and that is just the beginning. Below I have listed 3 amazing and wonderful things that happened during my Vitamin Infusion facial , and why I hope you try one!

I have been extremely grateful to have had many Ashley Shmon facials in my day. Ashley's technique and approach is beautifully crafted. Each treatment Ashley does is completely customized according to her clients specific skincare needs. After an Ashley Shmon facial you leave exuding a radiance only Ashley can offer.

#1 I learned that by adding a pinch of pink Himalayan salt to your water you can increase skin hydration.

Ashley is not saying drink salty water, but honestly I heard drink salty water. Sounds weird, and I'm in! Something about the minerals in the salt help to create a balance of electrolytes withing the body. Balanced electrolytes can help everything from circulation to bone strength all yep! even hydration. We've all heard that the human body is full of water, makes sense to keep it that way. When our skin is hydrated, that means our bodies are also hydrated. A hydrated system is one of the key elements of existence. Sounds dramatic and it is, and it's a fact. Just a pinch will do and actually, I don't even mind the taste of it. I might even say it's kind of fun to do something so small that could have such a positive outcome on my health.

#2 Sound wave infusion

Yep, I had what is called a sonophoresis treatment. It's a gentle, non invasive, intensified delivery of skin conditioning vitamins using sound waves! Whoa - how space amazing is that? Well turns out it has been around since the 50's in various forms. This was delivered via sonophoresis wand, and when used in combination with a beautiful vitamin serum felt active and healing. There is zero discomfort, however there is slight frequency squeak that might bother some, not me though! The intense hydration was noticeable, and there was a plumpness that wasn't there before.

#3 I felt truly relaxed

The feeling of true relaxation isn't something I ever take for granted. What does relaxation feel like to me? It's wonderful, It is like an afternoon nap in the sun, on a Sunday, and you're wearing sunscreen. At least that's how I define relaxation. I had that same feeling while being under the direct care and consideration of Ashley. I could barely open my eyes after my 90 min treatment. There is something having someone deeply passionate about what they deliver that makes you feel so comfortable you can sleep. How great is that!

*Ashley currently does not offer a post facial nap station, but she will make sure you leave with a refreshing sparkling water and it's icing on the cake!

It is my hope that some of you get the delightful experience a treatment from Ashley, the girl gets it!! My skin has never felt or looked better. Ashley has contests for free treatments, she also offers a consultation service.
