Hydrojelly Facials

A Hydrojelly Mask is a “jelly-like” mask that provides the skin with several benefits such as hydration, smoothing, moisturizing, washing, exfoliating, cooling, toning and inflammation reduction. Hydrojelly facials help to promote healthy skin and keep your pores from getting clogged. Hydro jelly facials are recommended once month, or at the very least once every 3 months.

In this no frill facial, we offer an express treatment with RED LED Light therapy. This 45 minute facial is meant for the all business girl boss who reserves a little time for herself for some self care, but does’t have all the time in the world to lay around. No frills means, we don’t offer champagne or terry cloth robes, so please wear a loose fitting shirt, and nothing with a high neck.

We currently have 9 treatment options for Hydro jelly facials. Please see excerpts below to learn more about what they are and the conditions they treat.

Matcha has 30 times more antioxidants than regular green tea, and it is richer in antioxidants than blackberries and kale. Matcha contains methylxanthines, which help stimulate natural microcirculation in the skin. This not only helps promote healthy, radiant skin, but it also helps support an even and glowing complexion. Matcha contains polyphenols and six different types of catechins that help reduce inflammation, redness, and irritation. Polyphenols in green tea attack bacterial membranes and fight against infection, meaning that Matcha is a useful tool for treating bacterial growth that causes acne. It helps kill systemic bacterial inflammation for smoother, better toned skin. It also helps prevent acne by decreasing sebum production.


CBD Anti-inflammation Facial

CBD is a nearly perfect skin care extract suitable for all skin types. It shows significant promise in anti-inflammatory, balancing skin hydration, helping oily skin, and correcting the skin's oil production.

CBD is an extract from the leaves, flowers, and stalks of the cannabis plant. The different parts of the plant (leaves, flowers, stalks) are thought to work together in a compounding manner, amplifying the overal benefits. CBD has shown great promise in rapidly soothing irritation and dry patches of the skin, but CBD does not provide a 'high' because it does not contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the mind-altering compound found in marijuana.

It is important to note that CBD is not the same thing as hemp seed oil. Hemp seed oil contains only trace amounts of cannabidiol. Hemp seed oil comes from the same plant, but has vastly different properties. Hemp seed oil is rich in vitamins and Omega fatty acids, which are great nutrients for healthy skin, but CD shows significantly more promise for regenerative, anti aging, and anti-inflammatory effects.


Collagen Firming Facial

This Hydrolyzed Collagen facial firms the skin reducing Fine Lines & Wrinkles by stimulating Skin Cells & Amplifying Collagen production. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. Collagen makes up about 20% of the body's mass and about 30% of all proteins found in the human body. Most importantly, collagen is the substance that holds the body’s tissues together. It is found in the bones, muscles, skin and tendons, where it forms vital strength and structure. Collagen is a key component of skin, bones and connective tissue within the body, providing structural support, strength and a degree of elasticity (in combination with elastin). In particular, collagen makes up the extracellular matrix - an intricate network of macromolecules that determine the physical properties of body tissue. A mixture of small peptides, break down into much smaller fragments, able to penetrate the skin's surface. Firm the skin and reduce the effects of aging as the collagen is absorbed by the skin. In the middle layer of the skin (the dermis) collagen forms a fibrous network, upon which new cells grow. Collagen is also a key component in the skin’s replacement and restoration of dead skin cells. The body’s production of collagen naturally declines with age, thereby reducing the structural integrity of the skin and leading to sagging skin and the formation of lines and wrinkles.


Luxury Caviar Resilience Facial 

Caviar is very rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids as well as amino acids that nourish the skin, aids the skin’s natural production of wrinkle-reducing collagen, and repairs damage due to UV exposure, dryness, and aging. Caviar nourishes the skin cells while repairing damage and slowing down the aging process. Caviar is considered to be a super nutrient capable of fulfilling many skin needs. It is also rich in glycine and proline and stimulates collagen synthesis to re-texturize the skin while improving resiliency and minimizing the appearance of fine lines.

Goji Berry - 
Rich in antioxidants, this helps eliminate free radicals and damage to the skin. It promotes anti-aging and antioxidant properties due to its high concentration of Vitamin C. It also promotes a translucent, lustrous, and even-toned complexion. This helps facilitate skin repair by promoting dermis and epidermis regeneration. The skin vitality and energy will be improved. An important fact is that it boosts the collagen levels, which increases skin fullness.


💦 Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid deeply moisturizes and improves skin elasticity by holding up to 5,000 times its weight in water. Hyaluronic acid is distributed widely throughout skin tissue, improving the skin moisture balance and maintaining lipid balance while increasing cellular renewal by improving the skin moisture barrier. Hyaluronic acid readily binds moisture in the skin boosting moisturization and plumping the surrounding tissues. When the skin is inflamed due to harsh treatments, sunburn, or other irritants, the cells in the dermis do not produce as much hyaluronic acid as usual. Hyaluronic Acid is a major component of the skin and is an important element in tissue repair. The loss of hyaluronic acid results in slower tissue repair therefore accelerating the aging process causing skin to lose its moisture therefore contributing to the unwanted aged look.
