CRANBERRIES and Holiday Season Special Facial Therapies

Is there any fruit that says “holidays” like cranberry? Cranberries are a big part of our holiday traditions, largely because they are harvested in the fall, and are most fresh and bountiful during this season.

Vassinium Macrocarpon (cranberry), the main ingredient in our Limited Edition RED Cranberry Scrub, is a natural and rich source of antioxidants with amazing antibacterial benefits. Cranberry also provides a natural lipid barrier for moisture retention support.

Cranberry, most notably, contains a considerable grouping of beneficial chemicals such as alpha-terpineol, anthocyanosides, benzoic acid, lutein, quercetin, vitamin B6, to name a few. They are also an excellent source of polyphenol antioxidants, vitamin C and phyto-chemicals. The oil in cranberries delivers Omega 3, 6 and 9 essential fatty acids to the skin, which is responsible for the lipid barrier support. This process helps the skin retain moisturize and treats roughness and dryness. 

 A Bountiful and Delicious Scrub

The RED Cranberry Scrub was created specifically with the holiday season in mind from the enticing aroma of cranberry and cinnamon to the results-driven actives that target winter skin doldrums.

Cinnamon Cassia Leaf Oil, antibacterial and antifungal oil, is used in the scrub for its stimulating effects, potent anti-inflammatory properties, and its delicious scent. The terpenoids in cinnamon also promote circulation and a glowing, rosy complexion.

Tocopherol (D-Alpha), vitamin E and another powerful ingredient in the scrub, helps protect the skin from free radical damage. It is an antioxidant that stimulates the immune system and fights the adverse effects of oxidative stress including photo-aging.

Last, but certainly not least, we added Resveratrol (wine extract) for its firming and toning benefits. Resveratrol is another powerful antioxidant source and radical scavenger that works to stimulate cellular proliferation and collagen synthesis. This polyphenol-packed ingredient promotes plumper, more youthful looking skin while also inhibiting proteases.

Aside from the powerful list of ingredients, the RED Cranberry Scrub is a luxurious addition to a winter treatment. It will polish away dead, dull cells and invigorate the skin leaving it winter radiant!

Shed dull summer skin Special Promotions

THE GREAT  Pumpkin

Rhonda Allison Skin

With fall just around the corner, shedding  dull summer skin by  replenishing and rebuilding is essential in preparation for the winter season. Pumpkin, which boasts a potent supply of antioxidants, vitamins, and naturally occurring enzymes and alpha-hydroxy acids, is the perfect ingredient for getting radiant, glowing autumn-weather skin.

 Pumpkin Time

    Pumpkin is a great life-giving super food, loaded with potassium, zinc, vitamins and beta-carotene. But it’s these same properties that also make it a powerful treatment

 A few pumpkin facts: 

• Pumpkin contains the highest content of naturally occurring vitamin A and beta-carotene among other fruits – it is in fact a fruit
• It is often referred to as “nature’s natural collagen”
• It naturally protects skin from UVA/UVB rays thanks to its high zinc content
• Pumpkin helps remove toxins trapped deep in the pores and neutralizes free radicals
• It is high in vitamins C, B1, B2, B5 and E
• Pumpkin promotes cell turn over and regeneration, GOOD STUFF!!!!!

In the Treatment Room: Pumpkin Skin Treatments for Fall

 

This season we developed a new approach to sophisticated skin rejuvenation with the Rhonda Allison Pumpkin Peptide Peel. This delicious treatment uses pumpkin and retinoic acids, AHAs, peptides, organic stem cell technology and growth factors. 

Our Pumpkin Refresher Treatment and Pumpkin Delight, both work to exfoliate skin cells, promote cell turn over, provide antioxidant support, stimulate collagen activity and leave the skin feeling smooth and polished. 

To help boost treatments and the rebuild process you can continue your treatment at home  with  a few pumpkin favorites:

• Pumpkin Cleanser – loaded with beta-carotene and antioxidants, it removes surface residue and protects against free-radical damage
• Pumpkin E Serum – a vital nutrient treatment for skin tissue, it blends flavonoids, antioxidants and essential oils for cell nutrition and protection
