Skincare made Simplified

 Quick and Easy Skincare Routine

Confused by the array of new skincare products available? Unsure how to begin establishing your skincare routine? Worried about being judged for not being well-versed in skincare? Fear not, Le Reve Spa is here to assist you. We recognize the challenges you may face and aim to simplify this process for you. For beginners or those preferring a straightforward routine, we suggest starting with a cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and SPF in your daily skincare regimen.

Let's start with cleansers. Here are some of our recommendations:

Stone Crop Gel Wash
Stonecrop is a healing plant with similar properties to aloe vera, but to a much higher degree. This cleanser will help heal and hydrate your skin. Perfect for all skin types. Calming on breakouts and aids in the rebalancing of your skin barrier.

Mangosteen daily Resurfacing Cleanser
This milky gel lightly lathers to slough off dead skin without manual exfoliation or over-stripping. The Lactic Acid Complex and mangosteen in this cleanser work together to restore a smooth, radiant complexion. The naturally derived lactic acid gently resurfaces skin and refines pores for a more luminous, even, and youthful looking complexion. Recommended for aging skin or those with enlarged pores.

Clear Skin Probiotic Cleanser                                                                                                                This clarifying cream-gel cleanser treats oily and problem skin with cucumber and tea tree oil. Sweet almond milk and yogurt reduce the visible signs of problem skin and breakouts without stripping the skin of moisture. The lactic acid in the yogurt will help eat away at the bacteria that are causing the breakouts. Recommended for acne-prone skin, hormonal or environmental.

Let's talk toners next:

Stone Crop Hydrating Mist                                                                                                                      An invigorating and soothing toner suitable for all skin types, especially those with uneven skin tones. Stone crop and jasmine provide hydration, healing, and nourishment, while lavender soothes and rejuvenates irritated or uneven skin. Enhances skin hydration levels, leaving it appearing smooth and well-moisturized.

Soothing Chamomile Tonique                                                                                                              This gentle and relaxing toner enriches your skin with soothing herbs to rebalance its natural state. Chamomile induces a sense of peace and eases skin discomfort. Comfrey root acts as an antioxidant and provides vitamin E. Lastly, aloe vera calms, hydrates, and enhances the skin's texture.

Neroli Age Corrective Hydrating Mist                                                                                                    A toner that boosts collagen production, featuring Natural Retinol Alternative and Swiss Green Apple Stem Cells suitable for all skin types, particularly mature skin. Experience smoother and firmer skin with the invigorating scent of neroli oil. Hydrate and balance your skin's pH with the nourishing properties of coconut water and milk.

Up next, moisturizers:

Bakuchiol + Niacinamide Moisturizer                                                                                       Replenish your skin's natural moisture with a gel-cream moisturizer containing a special blend of bakuchiol, a retinol alternative, and niacinamide. This blend helps reduce wrinkles, firm the skin visibly, minimize large pores and uneven texture, all without causing irritation. Suitable for all skin types, particularly beneficial for aging skin.

Stone Crop Whip Moisturizer                                                                                                              Stone crop, a natural succulent with centuries of history as a first-aid remedy, is a vital component of this moisturizer. It not only soothes and minimizes irritation but also delicately enhances the skin's clarity. Suitable for all skin types, it offers a comprehensive skincare solution.

Eight Greens Whip Moisturizer                                                                                                     Restore your skin's healthy tone and youthful texture with this firming blend of flaxseed and yucca extract. This formula helps sagging areas regain their elasticity, combating the visible signs of aging. It's also beneficial for addressing hormonal changes in the skin.

Finally, here are some SPFs for you to consider:

Radiant Protection SPF Fluid
Protect your skin from the sun's harsh effects while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, with the help of bakuchiol and niacinamide. This SPF product provides a hydrating and nourishing sensation with a dewy finish, helping maintain a youthful look and offering broad spectrum SPF 30 protection for combination to dry skin.

Lilikoi Daily Defense Moisturizer SPF 40
A versatile, lightweight daily moisturizer crafted with cocoa seed extract, satsuma mandarin peel, and SPF 40 all-mineral shield to enhance the look of skin affected by blue-light stress and pollution. Ideal for all skin types.

Earth-Conscious Skincare

Earth-Conscious Skincare

  The Earth. It's where we call home. It's where we play, eat, and sleep. It provides us everything we need in order to live and thrive. The Earth is kind and the Earth is giving, and it is our responsibility to return this kindness that she has go graciously given us. That is why it is vital to engage in Earth-friendly practices, such as switching over to businesses that are Earth conscience and are thoughtful of its future. 

    Le Reve is Santa Barbara's only Green Certified spa, where one of our top priorities is reducing our carbon-footprint. We do our very best to conserve energy and water resources, and using materials that can recycled. Overall, our goal is to promote waste reduction, but also to promote better and healthier living in our guests. We choose to use all organic and natural skincare  from companies like Jurlique and Eminence, who all practice in an Earth-conscience fashion. 

  


    First up, Le Reve Spa would like to shine a special light on the skincare brand, Eminence Organic Skin Care. This is one of two skincare brands that we utilize to the fullest at Le Reve Spa. Eminence prides themselves in curating wonderful and effective skincare products that are free of parabens propylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfates, harmful colorants and fragrances, mineral oils, petroleum, and other harsh cosmetic chemicals. They also follow green practices in their farming, ingredients, products, and packaging. First and foremost, Eminence's farming practices focus on reducing their CO2 emission by manually planting and harvesting their ingredients, which are grown using solar and wind power, along with a natural compost.

    Along with their farming practices, Eminence takes great care in their products. All products are handmade, so they forgo the overheating and hydrogenating (where hydrogen molecules are used to saturate organic compounds), which can lead to a decrease in potency and nutritional essence. Plants are harvested in the height of their vitamin potency, so your skin care efficiently aids in your skin's regenerative healing. All packaging for these products are recyclable and printed using environmentally-friendly inks, along with dissolvable packing peanuts.  

    


    Additionally to Eminence Organic Skin Care, Le Reve Spa use the skincare brand, Jurlique. Jurlique has many of the same practices that are mentioned above. They are an Australian-based company whose goal is to make the Earth a better place for all of its inhabitants. They have a multitude of all natural and organic ingredients that are specially curated.

   One thing that both of these brands have in common is that they make use of Biodynamic farming, which erases the notion of farms as factories, and instead views it as a whole living organism that is made-up of many interdependent elements. In which they choose to focus on following the cycles of nature and self-sustainment for the most part. Farmers tend to their land in a holistic capacity, meaning they choose natural remedies for their farms and animals against pests and diseases.

    Overall, these wonderful brands are doing their part in keeping the planet in mind throughout their practices. They work hard to keep their skincare clean, while keeping the Earth clean as well. If you are looking for a way to be Earth-conscious, then start small. Start with changing out your skincare to brands like these, brands that care. Visit us at Le Reve Spa and we'll find what's right for you.

Age Defying Facial

 Age Defying Facial

Le Reve Organic Spa and Boutique- Age Defying

Here at Le Reve Organic Spa & Boutique, we pride ourselves on having a multitude of different spa facials that are specially designed to fit everyone's individual needs. One of our facials, the Age Defying, is perfectly curated for those with aging skin. What that means is that at the end of your facial, you are going to see a decrease in fine lines and discoloration, which are common in older skin types.

To start off, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed with an oil cleanser followed by a second cleanser, in order to remove all of the impurities from your skin. This double-cleansing method allows your skin to be fresh and ready to be analyzed by your esthetician.

You will then be treated by a wonderful enzyme peel by Eminence Organics. This treatment will focus on accelerating the exfoliation process, leading to a reduce in visible pigment. It also has a plumping effect, which will leave the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines visibly reduced. 

Following the treatment, a series of masks that promotes youthful and radiant skin will be applied to your skin. During this time, a galvanic device will be placed onto your skin and smoothed over the face mask. This galvanic device emits low-level currents that have an abundance of benefits for your skin.

Some of the benefits include:
  • Minimizing fine lines and wrinkles
    • Boosts the elasticity of your skin, which aids in the tightening of the skin and preventing signs of premature aging.
  • Detoxifies the skin
    • The galvanic currents encourage lymphatic drainage, which allows your skin to remove toxins in an easier fashion.
  • Boosts blood circulation and oxygen levels throughout the skin
    • Promotes a faster skin-turnover rate, which means newer cells faster. Also boasts collagen product and increases your skin's moisture retention.
  • Better product absorption 
    • The galvanic currents contain negative ions, which pushes product deeper into the skin barrier where they work best.
The masks, in tandem with the galvanic treatment, will penetrate deeper into your epidermis and leave your skin looking firmed and plumped. Along with this, you will receive special attention to your hands and feet as your esthetician begins a relaxing massage on them. You will of course be treated to an eye and lip treatment as your service comes to a close.

Overall, you will leave your service and our spa feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, with your skin visibly glowing and plumped. There will be instant results that you witness, but we do recommend returning every 4-6 weeks for the overall health of your skin. Come visit us at Le Reve Organic Spa and Boutique today!

Eminence Organic Skin Care Coconut Firming Lotion

 Eminence Organic Skin Care Coconut Firming Lotion

   

    Do you ever feel that your skin has lost its youthfulness? Dulled seemingly overnight? Riddled with cellulite and not as firm as it once was? Trust me, me too. Many others feel this way as well, so believe me when I say that you are far from alone. 

    I know how it feels to feel ugly or not pretty enough in your own skin. To yearn for the perfect skin you see in the catalogues, television, and on the seemingly perfect models, but I also know how it feels to come to the realization that I was chasing unrealistic expectations. There is no product in the world that will leave you looking airbrushed 24/7. But do not feel discouraged because there are still products out there that will help you achieve realistic skin goals. One of my personal favorites is the Coconut Firming Lotion by Eminence Organic Skin Care.

    This lotion by Eminence has a plethora of abundantly nourishing and natural ingredients that will leave your skin looking nourished and refreshed. The formula contains both coconut milk and water that deeply hydrates and tones your skin, leaving only softness in its wake. Both of these ingredients provide a source of electrolytes and Vitamin C for your skin's barrier. There is also a natural retinol alternative complex within the Coconut Firming Lotion, which includes chicory root and tara tree; both rich in collagen boosting properties that leaves your skin smooth and firmed in appearance. This firming of the skin is also amplified by the Swiss Green Apple stem cells, which ensures the longevity of your skin cells. The botanical hyaluronic acid is the last ingredient, and this aids in deep hydration that diminishes the signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles. All of these ingredients are organic, natural, biodynamic, sustainable, and cruelty free thanks to Eminence Organic Skin Care.

     For use it is recommended that one apply after either exfoliation, a shower, or a body scrub. Only a small amount need be applied onto cleansed skin and left on. If you would prefer a light application, then feel free to add water in order to dilute the product and massage into skin.

    Overall, enjoy revitalized skin, that looks tighter, smoother, and hydrated. Do not let unrealistic media representation have you feeling discouraged. There are products out there that will have your skin looking it's best, and one of those products is the Coconut Firming Lotion by Eminence Organic Skin Care. Stop by Le Reve today and pick up a bottle. I promise you won't regret it.

Stay relaxed beautiful.

A Le Reve Girls Beauty Guide


                    A Le Reve Girls Beauty Guide 


    Begin your morning with a cup of chamomile rose tea from the The republic of tea brand. There's great benefits to drinking tea for instance the chamomile aids with a better nights sleep and the rose hip helps with antioxidants.  
    
        Tip: Add a teaspoon of organic honey to enhance the flavor.
  

Step 1:  Eminence Citrus Exfoliating Wash
   
Let's begin your daily routine by washing your face. You want to wet the face first then use a pea size amount of Eminence Citrus Exfoliating Wash add a little bit of water, mix it together. Then you want to gently massage the face wash on using a circular motion making
sure that you get the entire face is lathered including the neck area to have a fully clean surface to work on. This face wash gives you the result feeling refreshed and clear skin. 
 
  Tip:  If you want to be a little bit more extra I would add in the  Stone Crop hydrating Mist. This is a great way to add more hydration onto your skin care routine. Not only does the Stone Crop mist aid with dehydrated skin but it assist in alleviating pigmentation as well as irritations. 
    
 
Step 2: Stonecrop  Whip Moisturizer   
Once the face has been washed you want to hydrate the skin. Apply the Stone Crop Whip Moisturizer by gently tapping it from the forehead all the way to the neck. Make sure to use upward motions when applying on the neck to prevent any sagging.  Clear, hydrated and rejuvenated skin are some of the benefits of  using the stone crop Whip Moisturizer.  Not only is the stone crop the main ingredient but as well as lavender which calms and repairs the
skin. Along with being a main ingredient in the moisturizer Bearberry extract that aids in combating 
hyperpigmentation. 

Fun fact: Did you know that the stonecrop succulent has been used since ancient times for medicinal purposes such as treating wounds and burns. 





Step 4: Lilikoi Daily Defense Moisturizer SPF 40
What's the fountain of youth? The answer is sunscreen, there are many of us who forget the most crucial step to a daily skin care routine, which is to apply sunscreen.
The lilikoi sunscreen not only aids in preventing any signs of aging but protects you from the blue light and anti-pollution shield. It's a sunscreen that applies on smoothly, is lightweight and leaves no tint behind. After using this product, you will never forget to apply the most essential ingredient to your daily care. 

  
Tip: This sunscreen works best if you are constantly applying it on throughout the day in every 2 hour increments. If you have make up on then I would recommend The Bella Donna Translucent LBD-Sun Protection. The translucent sun protection powder is a great way to reapply sunscreen without messing up your look. 


Step 5:  Eminence Rosehip Lemongrass Lip Balm 
        This is one of my favorite lip balms because it does the job of keeping my lips soft and protected. I love products that are two in one, you don't need to buy a lip balm and then a sunscreen, it's all in one. Its leaves me with soft and hydrated lips which is all I can ask about my lip products.
