Are you helping or hindering your largest body organ?

Even though your skin works to nourish, sustain, repair and renew itself 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, it actually needs your help to function as efficiently and effectively as possible in the drying winter months.

What your skin needs

Proper nutrition, sufficient hydration, appropriate exercise and adequate rest are the keys to maintaining your skin in tip top condition all year round. You and I both know however, how easy it is to let a hectic lifestyle, when we take our body for granted, to neglect the care of our skin.

How to restore dull crocodile skin to glowing, healthy skin this winter

How closely have you looked at your skin lately? In winter we cover up because of the cold and so we do not really notice just how dehydrated or scaly our skin has become. Because we wear bulky clothes we do not worry that we have eaten badly and maybe we have put on a few kilos.

Will your skin be ready for spring next month?

Your body and skin can look great with the help of our winter specials and day spa packages. They’re always available, but the huge savings end on the 31st August.

How Serenity Lodge Day Spa’s winter packages nourish your skin

Deluxe Facial with natural, certified products from La Clinica:

• We massage a delicate cleansing cream into your skin, removing makeup and surface impurities.
• Then we apply a gentle exfoliant for a deeper, thorough cleanse and gentle skin buff.
• A masque to absorb impurities is then applied. After it is removed, we wrap hot towels around your face to remove any flaky, dead cells, thoroughly cleaning your skin.
• Your skin is then indulged with a soothing, moisturising balm to protect against winter dryness.

Silky, Soft Hands

We use our hands all the time and remember to moisturize them only sometimes.Time to give your hands some relief from the harshness of winter:

• What we would like to do for you is remove dead, dry skin on your hands with our exquisite exfoliating treatment.
• Next we apply a luxurious moisturising cream while giving your hands a beautiful massage, relaxing all the muscles.

Aromatic Hot Stone Massage

Serenity Lodge Day Spa clients have a favourite treatment – our very special aromatic hot stone massage, which feeds your skin with beautiful aromatic fragrances while you are being massaged with the soothing heat of volcanic stones. You can feel the warmth relaxing those tight muscles. When your muscles are relaxed your body can function so much more effectively.

Body Detox

How well have you been eating lately? If you find yourself answering, “Not as well as I should,” then a thorough body detox will help and if you read our blog post on this it will show you how remarkable this process is.

So now you have helped your skin and your internal organs. What else could we possibly help you with – that extra cellulite or those extra centimetres! Take a quick look at our videos on Lose Centimetres Fast page.

Lose Centimetres Fast

Doctors in France invented this method to help people with arthritis, who because of their pain and lack of movement gained a lot of weight and centimetres, causing even more pain. The doctors discovered that with this amazing method, Ionithermie, that as well as easing their pain people lost centimetres and were able to become more active.

We are qualified and authorised to provide this exact same treatment to help you lose centimetres fast, tone your body and help your circulation.

We guarantee you will lose centimetres in your first treatment. You may need more than one treatment, depending on how much you want to lose.

Now with giving your body this attention you are going to feel wonderful and your skin is going to glow. In a matter of weeks when you want to start wearing your spring clothes you are going to be thrilled with how you look.

Remember that your body and skin can look great with the help of our winter specials and day spa packages. They’re always available, but the huge savings end on the 31st August.

How many glasses of water should I drink each day to keep my skin moist?

Over the years I’ve been asked this question again and again. A popular myth is that it takes 7 glasses of water daily to avoid dry skin.

Here’s the real truth about water and your skin:

1. You do need adequate fluid intake to keep you hydrated and healthy.
2. However the outermost layer of skin (dermis) does not absorb water since it is made up of dead skin cells.
3. Moisture level of the dermis is not determined by internal factors, but rather by external ones.
4. External factors include cold or hot air, dry heat, and the number of oil producing glands you have.

How to keep your skin hydrated to avoid dry skin

1. Exfoliate your skin weekly.
2. Use a sea-salt scrub to exfoliate (remove excess dead skin cells).
3. Apply a rich moisturiser.
4. For really smooth, glowing skin treat yourself to one of our Wraps.

Why you may want to drink 7 glasses of water daily anyway

1. Summer is almost here and as always will bring hot weather and increased fluid loss from perspiration.
2. Christmas is rapidly approaching and is an ideal time to establish the habit of alternating a glass of water with any other celebratory drinks you may be enjoying.

Speaking of Christmas – how well prepared are you?

With less than 7 weeks to go the Christmas season is already upon us. If you’re anything like me the Christmas madness may be making you feel a little bit frazzled. My mother impressively has all her presents wrapped and ready!

Avoid That Frazzled Feeling With A Gorgeous Gift Voucher

We’ve put together the perfect gift voucher range to help you take control:

1. You choose how much you want to give
2. We make the voucher to suit your budget

Hunter Business Awards Finalist

We are extra excited at Serenity Lodge Day Spa at the moment because we were finalists in the Hunter Business Awards on 3rd September 2010. This was thanks to the great work from the staff here at Serenity Lodge Day Spa.

From Day Spa, Newcastle to Daily Snow, Thredbo

From a personal perspective, the day after the Hunter Business Award I went skiing at Thredbo with my family. It’s hard to call what I do skiing but I do enjoy myself (most of the time). My legs and mind tend not to cooperate with each other as well as I’d like … there was one moment where I skied right off the snow and into a weed filled pond. At least I provided a good laugh for a few onlookers.

After Ski Dry Skin

Fortunately, I managed to come home with all my bones intact. One thing I really noticed when I came home was that my skin was just so dry. I’m sure a lot of us experience dry skin as we step from Winter into Spring,  so I have planned an amazing October offer that I’ll reveal in my next blog post – something special that exfoliates and moisturises your skin and leaves you looking and feeling great, ready to pop on your shorts and t-shirts.

Step Into Spring with Beautiful Skin
