Hot and cold, soothing and fresh, fire and ice – this naturally occurring duo of opposites is all it takes to make your skin work up a cellular sweat and instantly become more firm, toned, and vibrant. Consider your Esthetician to be your own Personal Trainer from the neck up!

Jenn Alvarez, Owner and Esthetician here at Purely You Spa, designed the intensely purifying Fire & Ice Facial to help people experience relaxation and exhilaration at the same time – “tingle” is an understatement, trust us.

How does it work? We start by infusing natural fruit acids into the skin, best preparing it to accommodate the sensory-stimulating contrasts of what’s to come. All natural Paprika or Lime products (depending on your skin) are the fiery elements then used to stimulate circulation and help with detoxification. Ready for some Ice? A cooling application of custom chilled organic masques and creams, lightly whipped to suit your skin type of course, finish this two-step process. The level of organic exfoliation we can offer with this pampering design make this a superstar among our collection of effective facial experiences. And let’s not forget the warm towel wrap and bonus décolleté treatment to finish…

More importantly, is WHY it works. The key is instant skin stimulation – we make nature work for you! Because the skin is being exercised into activity with the hot and cold contrast, our guests are rewarded with a pop of immediate rosy glow. The flurry of action at the cellular level also promotes oxygenation and blood circulation – hello firm, even skin! The same processes also work to soothe any acne-related ailments and increase natural defense mechanisms against harsh elements you encounter in everyday life.

As always, Purely You Spa likes to go above and beyond, so we are happy to recommend some add-on treatments that perfectly complement this amazing session. Custom Booster Enhancements can be added to your chilled masque for even better results – Acai Firming Booster, Arnica Anti-Redness Booster, Licorice Root Lightening Booster, and Willow Bark Anti-Blemish Booster are just a few of your choices. LED Light Therapy, which is FDA-approved to treat acne and Rosacea, rounds out the treatment just as effectively as Botox would but without the discomfort! Converting light energy into cell energy, blue lights help to oxygenate the skin and decrease harmful bacteria. Red lights brighten tone, increase collagen production, improve elastin, and work against laugh lines or crows feet.

So, feel like getting some “exercise” but want to forgo a crowded gym, set of weights, or pair of overpriced sneakers? Treat yourself to our Fire & Ice Facial to give your skin a workout you’ll remember, and one you’ll be dying to do again soon.

You can schedule this treatment by calling our Spa Concierge at 239-331-8266; look for our Naples Daily News announcement as well to find out when you can view a demo of this amazing new experience - we look forward to seeing you!

Treat yourself. Center yourself. Heal yourself.

And let nature do it for you (with a little help from our Specialists).

Comprehensive Organic facial care really relies on more than just natural products, it requires an approach that considers the entire person.

Sensory tools like essential oils complete Purely You Spa’s arsenal in treating the total being, and we are beyond proud to announce our newly designed service, the Essential Oils Mood Boost Facial.

In just 1 hour, your Purely You Spa Specialist will be able to provide a custom treatment to enhance your current state of mind and relaxation – it’s like turning your frown upside down, but a million times more powerful. The muscle behind the mood improvement? Therapuetic essential oils that are so pure they are edible (Want proof? We’ll make you some tea using the same oils we use during your treatment!).

Essential oils can motivate high-sensory emotional responses with fragrance, hailing from their natural aromatic plant compounds; they trigger senses and increase vitality. When combined specifically to treat certain mood-related ailments, their ability to promote healing and health is unstoppable – here is how we harness their power in your custom escape:

Consultation – Two variables are used to determine your exact emotional state at time of treatment; a physical spectrum that gauges your fatigue and stress, and an emotional spectrum that measures your peace versus passion. Based on where you fall in this “+”- shaped matrix, your Specialist identifies physical and emotional needs to be addressed, and proceeds to concoct the perfect natural prescription.

Combination – Picture your senses being heightened with the aromatic atmosphere of a custom essential oils blend. Some favorite scented elements utilized to prepare your treatment are Lavender, Sandalwood, Citrus, Vanilla, and Spruce.

Application – Enjoy a revitalizing facial complete with cleansing, toning, exfoliating, hydrating, and moisturizing. As the oils infiltrate your senses, you will feel yourself centering in on the perfect combination of energy, exuberance, and escape.

Relaxation – Feeling impatient, angry, anxious, stressed, or with pain throughout your body? Our “Serenity Calming Blend” will take care of that in no time. How about feeling unmotivated and discouraged with brain fog and chest tightness? Not to fear, our “Citrus Bliss Invigorating Blend” does the trick. Hopeless and withdrawn with lower back pain? Our “Elevation Joy Blend” will help you within seconds. Worried and tense with digestive issues and neck pain? You have to try our “Balance Grounding Blend”.

So in essence, no pun intended, everything you need to help your emotional and physical ailments can be delivered in one hour of true relief and reward.

This solution towards instant mood enhancement and long lasting life improvement is 60 minutes and $140. Bonus: If you sign up for our E-Newsletter, check out the “Save on Serenity” monthly special to receive a free add-on treatment!

Want to experience essential oils but love our Signature Facial or our Member Facial so much you can’t imagine getting anything else? We are also happy to offer an Aromatherapy add-on for $15 to complement either of these two treatments.

Enjoy!

We know, we know – most people on Saint Patrick’s day celebrate with lively libations and a bit of beverage-based overindulgence. But here at Purely You Spa, we are all about healthy balance, and that is why our drink of choice for this Irish holiday will be a cool cup or soothing mug of nature’s most efficient elixir – green tea. It fits with the festive color scheme, does our bodies well, and does our minds even better.

Historical legend has it that this beverage is over 5000 years old – a Chinese scholar is said to have made the discovery while boiling water for his dinner; some leaves of his tea plant fell into the pot, and upon smelling the pleasant aroma, he decided to sample some of the liquid. Needless to say, he was impressed. No matter how it was discovered, the modern day uses for green tea are simply amazing.

Green tea is the go-to beverage choice for health-conscious individuals because it has been scientifically proven to provide drinkers with an impressive list of benefits. The power behind the potency is a density of catechins, antioxidant-packed polyphenols naturally occuring in green tea plants.

Still not sold on the idea of a brewed beverage of a different variety this Saint Patrick’s day? Take a look at this list of green tea benefits provided by the Huffington Post – and believe us, these are just a few of the ways this organic indulgence can make you look and feel better!

• Boosts the immune system
• Net gain of fluid to aid in rehydration
• May lower risk of heart disease
• Could help in the process of shrinking some tumors
• Potential prostate cancer treatment
• Increased functional abilities in old age
• Healthy addition to weight loss plan

So now we have you craving a cup of the green stuff, right? For all of our Members and Guests, complimentary green tea, served hot or cold (but always organic) is offered before any service begins. Think of it as a delicious jump-start to your treatment, and our way of saying we appreciate the value you place on our care.

If for some reason a cup of tea doesn’t float your beverage boat, Purely You Spa also offers product-based solutions to make sure you are getting the benefits nature has to offer. Our partners at Eminence make it easy to lift and firm your skin with their Green Tea and Guava Fortifying Serum – a fantastic addition to any skin care routine.

To purchase this product, or for Spa Treatment appointments and gift certificates, contact Purely You Spa at 239-331-8266 or www.purelyyouspa.com. You can also always visit us at 3066 Tamiami Trail North, Suite 302, Naples, FL 34103.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
