Renew You
BODY WRAPS This up-and-coming treatment incorporates exfoliation with deep hydration to target anything from weight loss to detoxification. Beginning with a full-body scrub or dry brush, an esthetician then massages your body with your treatment of choice (from seaweed to chocolate) and wraps you in either towels or plastic to allow the body mask to penetrate the skin. The result is a treatment offering not only deep relaxation, but also full body hydration. PLEXR TREATMENTS This cutting-edge procedure may be brand new to Canada, but it has been offered in countries like the UK since 2014. The non-surgical treatment, taking anywhere from 20 to 60 minutes to perform, aims to tighten skin without the use of lasers or scalpels. By creating plasma through the ionization of gas particles in the air, it tightens the skin without transferring heat to surrounding areas. This makes Plexr perfect for areas (like the skin around the eyes) which are not suitable for other treatments, such as laser. Plexr will soon be offered on the Island at Youthful You Medaesthetics. Owner Diane MacDonald has received the treatment herself, with incredible results, and is excited to bring this new technology to her clients. NON-TOXIC MAKEUP In recent years, makeup-wearers have become more conscious of the products they use on their skin. Makeup is now available to suit any need, from organic to vegan, without compromising variety, quality, and wearability. With many all-natural Canadian makeup brands now available, consumers have a wide variety to choose from. One such Canadian company, Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics, offers a vast line of mineral products ranging from foundation to lipstick, with clean beauty in mind. With 22 years under their belt, they’re leaders in the movement, and a brand you should definitely research if you’re looking for a more natural alternative. To give Youngblood a try, check out Imperial Esthetics in Charlottetown for a facial and makeup application.
