Essential Elements of a Holistic Skin Care Routine

November 22, 2019 By Urb Organic Spa

Beauty truly does come from within. And when building your holistic skincare routine, it’s not about getting the latest topical creams and ointments. Instead, focus on keeping your body healthy and happy on the inside by following these helpful suggestions.

Nutrition
Believe it or not, you can actually eat your way to healthier skin. It’s true! If your diet is healthy and balanced, it will show on your face. Avoid unhealthy foods that create a spike in your blood sugar, such as white bread, pastries, soda, and sweets.  Basically, stay away from anything that’s highly processed and/or contains extra sugar. Instead, opt for the food choices that are high in fiber, vitamins, antioxidants, and some healthy fats. Examples include beans, lentils, whole-wheat pasta, leafy green veggies, berries, apples, pecans, and avocados.

Water
You’ve heard it a million times, and that’s for a good reason: It’s true. Staying hydrated is hands-down, the best thing you can do for your skin. Water fills the cells of your body with oxygen and nutrients while removing toxins. It makes the skin plump and beautiful and is proven to slow the aging process by keeping everything taut and elastic.

Exercise
It’s not just for sculpting that peach booty in time for summer. By now, we all know that a regular exercise routine is vital for the overall health of our bodies, and that includes our skin. Something as simple as going for a walk around the neighborhood helps get the blood flowing and improves circulation. This promotes the transportation of oxygen to our skin cells and the removal of toxins.  Plus, working up a sweat can help clear out the pores. Just don’t forget to wash up afterward.

Sleep
We all know what a lack of sleep does to our skin. We’ve all had the late night followed by an early morning, and then been horrified by the dark rings under our eyes, and the colorless, drooping skin. Sleep is the time when our bodies rejuvenate. If you don’t get enough of it, the whole world can tell. Why do you think they call it beauty sleep?

Stress
This is likely nothing new for most of us. We all know that stress is bad in a lot of ways, but it’s also an unavoidable fact of our everyday lives. Obviously, you can’t remove all stress, but you can take steps to keep it under control. And if you’re successful, your skin will thank you. Stress can cause an acne breakout before a big event, or it can induce hives or rashes. And if you have existing conditions like rosacea or psoriasis, it can make those worse. So in other words, “keep calm and carry on.”

A Guide to the Different Types of Anti-Aging Facial Treatments

March 22, 2018 By Urb Organic Spa

Anti-Aging Facial in TorontoLots of women are trying to fight the signs of aging and turn back the clock on their skin. If you’re looking to reduce fine lines are wrinkles, there are lots of different ways to do so. In this article, we’ll go through the different options available, from clinical procedures like botox and fillers to spa treatments such as anti-aging facials in Toronto. Read on to find out which one is right for you.

The Different Anti-Aging Treatments on the Market

Here are all the ways you can achieve smoother, younger looking skin.

  • Botox – Botox involves injecting the skin with toxins in order to block signals from the nerves to the muscles. As a result, muscle contractions are limited, and the appearance of wrinkles decreases. This is most commonly used to eliminate forehead lines and crow’s feet.
  • Chemical Peels – There are three types of chemical peels, but the one that is most suited for anti-aging is called a phenol peel. During this process, an acidic solution is used to peel away dead skin cells, leaving healthy, rejuvenated skin behind. However, in some cases, skin may become lightened as a result of the peel.
  • Anti-Aging Creams – Drug stores are filled with expensive over-the-counter creams, which claim to reduce the signs of aging. However, they are no substitute for spa or clinical treatments, and generally have very little effect.
  • Microdermabrasion – This method is similar to an intensive facial exfoliation. A metal wand is used to scrub away dead skin cells and vacuum them away from the face. Results are temporary and can last up to three weeks. Microdermabrasion is often used as a way to prepare the skin for a chemical peel.
  • Fillers – Dermal fillers are injected into the skin to replicate the effects of collagen, filling in and lifting certain areas of the face. Results last from six months to a year, after which top-up injections are required.
  • Laser Resurfacing – This treatment reduces wrinkles and tightens the skin by using pulsating beams of light from a CO2 laser. This is a very precise way of targeting specific areas of skin and removing them layer by layer. As the outer layer of skin is removed, the underlying layer is heated. This stimulates the production of collagen, allowing new skin to grow. Treatments are costly, and multiple sessions are often required to achieve the desired results.
  • Facials – Toronto Anti-aging facials use products that slow the aging process by brightening the skin, evening out the tone, and restoring a youthful complexion. As well as making the skin look younger, they are also calming and relaxing treatments, often including massages.

Anti-Aging Facials and How You Can Prevent Wrinkles

October 10, 2016 By Urb Organic Spa

Anti aging facial TorontoToronto is famously tough on the skin with winters that seem to drag on with no end and summers so hot you can fry an egg on the sidewalk. This harsh environment has the effect of speeding up the aging process as well as the development of wrinkles. As such it’s crucial to do whatever you can to offset the negative effects of cold, snow, wind and sun. Women often come to us with questions about the anti-aging facial in Toronto such as: “What is it?” “How does it work?” “Will it help stop wrinkles?” And “When should I start having anti-aging facials?” In this post we’ll address these questions.

Wrinkles are no Match for a Good Anti Aging Facial in Toronto

Without further ado let’s answer some of the most common questions we’re asked about the anti aging facial in Toronto.

  • What is an anti-aging facial? – While there is more than one type of anti-aging facial most employ various techniques that have shown themselves to be effective in reversing age and environment-related damage to the skin of the face. Some will employ serums, others collagen creams and lotions while others will employ facial massage in concert with techniques such as light therapy and microdermabrasion.
  • How does an anti-aging facial work? – An anti-aging facial is designed to work through a combination of exfoliation (the removal of dead skins cells), moisturization and other techniques (including, in some cases, massage) that are designed to improve moisture retention and circulation throughout all layers of the skin. Regular anti-aging facials will often negate the need for Botox or face lifts.
  • Will an anti-aging facial stop wrinkles? – There is no treatment on earth that will prevent the development of all However, regular anti-aging facials will prevent small wrinkles forming and slow down the process of wrinkle formation in general. Wrinkles come about as a result of exposure to the sun, improper hydration, weather and poor circulation in the lower layers of the skin. An anti-aging facial will address 2 of those conditions while sunscreen and shielding your face in severe weather will help with the other 2.
  • “When should I start having anti-aging facials?” – The aging process takes hold in earnest in our late 20s. At that time the skin’s ability to retain moisture and produce adequate amounts of oil begin to diminish which causes lower layers of the dermis to harden. This in turn creates permanent lines, or wrinkles. The accumulated effects of sun exposure and weather also begin to show in our late 20s. Ideally one should start receiving anti-aging facials at this time to maximize their effectiveness, though it’s never too late to start.

We hope you found this information helpful and urge you to call the Urb Organic Spa on 647-344-7451 if you have any questions or would like to make an appointment for an anti aging facial. Toronto takes the fight to your skin. Fight back with a trip to Urb Organic Spa.

5 Questions to Ask Before Booking an Anti Aging Facial

July 10, 2016 By Urb Organic Spa

Most of us have those days when we catch a glance of ourselves in the mirror and wonder what on earth has happened to our face. Eating the wrong foods, not drinking enough water, exposing our skin to the polluted atmosphere in large cities, letting ourselves get stressed out about small worries, and just not taking the time to follow an effective skincare regimen can all result in our faces looking a few years older than we would like. An anti-aging facial is one way to tackle the problem but you need to make sure you are going to get the treatment you really need before you make a booking with a local beauty spa.

Booking an Anti Aging Facial in Toronto: What to Ask Your Beautician

Ask your beautician the following questions before you make an appointment for a facial, to make sure it will have the desired effect.

  1. Is an Exfoliating Peel Included? – A gentle exfoliating peel can remove dead cells from the surface of your face, leaving you with skin that glows with health and vitality. If you are going to have an anti aging facial in Toronto, you should make sure that it is going to include an effective peel.
  2. Are You Fully Qualified and Experienced? – This is a question that may cause offence, but only if the beautician to whom it is posed does not have the necessary qualifications and experience to administer a facial properly. If you are dealing with a highly skilled professional, they will be more than happy to answer your question and will understand your reasons for asking it.
  3. Will a Massage Be Part of the Treatment? – A firm massage can improve circulation in your skin and help to ensure that it is well hydrated. Both of these benefits are desirable when having an anti aging facial in Toronto so you should definitely make sure that a massage is included as part of the treatment before you make your booking.
  4. How Long Will the Treatment Take? – An effective facial that tackles the signs of aging should take a couple of hours to perform. If you are offered a much shorter treatment option than this, the chances are it will either be ineffective or it will involve the use of chemicals that you might not want on your face.
  5. Do I Really Need This Type of Facial? – This is a question that a professional beautician will only be able to answer when you visit them but it is worth making the time to drop by and discuss your options, just in case there is another type of facial that may be more appropriate for you.

Please do not hesitate to call if you would like to find out exactly what an anti aging facial in Toronto involves or you would like to make an appointment to visit our spa. We specialize in high quality organic treatments that are kind to your skin and very effective too.

What to Expect From an Anti Aging Facial

December 4, 2015 By Urb Organic Spa

Anti-aging facial TorontoIf you want to book this type of facial at a local spa but you’re unsure what to expect, this short guide is just what you need. In it, we are going to take a quick look at what a facial of this nature will involve, whether you are visiting a local Toronto spa or one in another part of the country. Not every spa will follow exactly the same process but most will follow a similar pattern to that which you can see outlined below.

An Anti Aging Facial in Toronto: What Does It Involve?

The steps below will be familiar to all beauticians and you can expect to experience most or all of them when you book this type of treatment at a reputable spa.

  1. Analysis – A good beautician won’t just plunge into the treatment: he or she will analyse the condition of your skin first. This analysis will provide them with the information they need to tailor your facial to meet the particular needs of your skin.
  2. Mechanical or Chemical Exfoliation – Depending on the condition of your skin, it will then be exfoliated, either mechanically with a specially formulated blend of ingredients or with a chemical peel. This stage of your anti aging facial in Toronto will be focused on removing the impurities that are present in your skin.
  3. Spot Extractions – If there are a number of blackheads or whiteheads still clogging your pores after the previous stage of the treatment, these can now be removed individually if desired. Some people may choose to skip this procedure as it could possibly cause damage to the skin.
  4. Massage – In order to stimulate your skin, the Toronto beautician who is giving you your facial will probably now massage your face.
  5. Application of a Mask – A mask, similar to those you can buy in local stores but of a superior quality, may now be applied to your face to condition the skin.
  6. Serum Application – Finally, you will probably have a serum, and possibly some other beneficial formulas, applied to your face.

If you are interested in an anti aging facial in Toronto and would like to find out more about what is involved or to book a session, please call us on 647.344.7451 today. We have a great deal of experience with this particular type of facial and can put together a bespoke treatment plan for you if desired.

Anti Aging Facial Toronto

June 5, 2015 By Urb Organic Spa

Anti aging facial TorontoAging is a natural process that we all go through and one of the undesirable consequences of that process is that our skin becomes dryer and also get’s thinner. The volume and “plumpness” it once had is lost due to the loss of collagen (a naturally occurring protein we all have) and reduced volumes of elastin cause the skin to look and feel looser. This process, along with exposure to the natural elements, can lead the development of facial lines and wrinkles and an overall tired appearance. However, there are measures that you can take to combat this process, with the anti aging facial Toronto treatments at our organic spa being one of the best options.

What is Involved in an Anti Aging Facial Toronto?

We offer many different types of facial treatment at our spa in Toronto and anti aging facials differ to some of the other options in numerous ways. During a typical session you can expect the following:

  • Cleansing – A trained member of staff will start by thoroughly cleansing your skin with cotton pads, sponges and an organic cleansing solution suited to your skin type.
    Analysis – Once your skin has been cleansed, it will be carefully inspected to check for any damage that may affect the appearance and health of your skin. In particular, we will look out for damaged capillaries, facial lines, wrinkles and dry skin.
  • Exfoliation – Next we will exfoliate your skin, which involves the removal of any dead skin cells that are currently clung onto the epidermis (the outermost layer of your facial skin). This will help to rejuvenate your skin and provide a “fresher” looking appearance.
  • Facial Massage – Our skilled staff members will then gently massage your facial muscles, paying particular attention to any problem areas. Facial massage stimulates the natural production of collagen, which gives the skin its volume back and helps to fill-in facial lines and wrinkles.
  • Facial Mask – A carefully selected organic facial mask is then applied, which is formulated specifically for aged skin. This skin mask will hydrate your facial skin, as well as draw out any impurities that could be responsible for signs of aging.

If you would like more information about the anti aging facial treatments that we offer or would like to make an appointment at our spa, you can reach us on (647) 344-7451.
