Fountain of Youth flows at Le Petit Spa

Dubbed as the Fountain of Youth in modern day spa culture, this amazing substance is available at Le Petit Spa.

Containing time released active antioxidants and botanicals such as Coenzyme Q10, Vitamins C and K and a state of the art liposome formula, Le Petit Spa’s “Fountain of Youth” is in a gel base made of Hyaluronic Acid (a natural acid that holds 1000x its weight in water) and Aloe Vera gel…know what it is?

First, let’s talk about the benefits of each of the said ingredients:

• Coenzyme Q10 - Prevents and reverses damage to skin cells.
  


• Vitamins C and K - protect and nourish the skin
  


• Liposome formula - Nourishes and hydrates the skin reducing the signs of fine lines and wrinkles.

Along with these “youth delivering” ingredients, this secret product contains:

• Seaweed extracts - condition and protect the skin
  


• Time released antioxidants: protect your skin continuously throughout the day to protect skin cells from environmental damage.

Coming in an airless pump to ensure the “fountain of youth” runs continuously, and to preserve the active ingredients with no chemical preservatives needed.

Ok, so what is this “Fountain of Youth” that Le Petit Spa has stumbled upon? It’s called:

“Liquid Minerals”

Liquid Minerals? An evolution in skin care, this “makeup” is the newest thing to come along since, well? Sliced bread!

The next level of beauty products, this skin care answer to a regular cosmetic foundation treats your skin and protects it while covering like a foundation. BUT! Does not contain any chemicals or traditional makeup.

What it does contain are 100% pure, crushed natural minerals that cover like a foundation but will not clog pores or become caked in wrinkles and fine lines.

The specialized airless pump helps the product to last, if used everyday, for up to 2 months.

Jane Iredale Mineral makeup is an extension of skin care. We do not consider it makeup, it is actually skin care that covers like makeup. Once you try Jane Iredale Minerals you will find it hard to use anything else again! Your skin will look and feel better than ever!

Mineral Makeup - The Hype, The Addiction, The Solution found at Le Petit Spa.

The Hype

Consumers are smarter now more than ever when it comes to making purchases while protecting the environment. With global warming becoming a basis for political campaigns and the realization that recycling, renewable fossil fuels and reusable goods should be a staple in today’s global community, consumers are looking for solutions that fit into today’s environmentally friendly lifestyle.

Enter Mineral Makeup, today’s cosmetic solution that is good for the environment as well as your skin – their hypoallergenic formulas are free of petroleum, talc, chemicals and other fillers that are un-natural and cause interruptions in your skin’s natural metabolic processes. Plus, the company that makes these minerals does not test on animals and harvest the minerals while ensuring the planet is left undamaged and at its natural state.

The minerals are from Jane Iredale Mineral Cosmetics – a pioneer in the natural cosmetics industry. Dubbed as the “Skin Care Makeup” these minerals feature a natural SPF derived from, of course, natural minerals. The creator of these minerals, Jane Iredale, was looking for a solution to cover the redness some clients were experiencing after laser surgery at the doctor’s office she was working at. Today, many plastic surgeons, doctors and spa’s all across the world use Jane Iredale as their choice for professional makeup services.

The Addiction

Once you try Jane Iredale Mineral Cosmetics, it will be hard to use anything else. Not only do they have long lasting staying power, they do not clog pores (I must admit, I’ve even slept with them on, and not one pimple!). They feel so light that you can’t feel them on your skin, but covers everything from dark circles under the eyes, pimples, redness, freckles… I could go on for ever! Plus, your skin glows when you have these minerals on. I’m addicted; these minerals make your skin look so healthy! Of course, the healthiest makeup you can wear is your own skin, but if you’re like most of us out there and perfect skin isn’t always in the cards, Jane Iredale Minerals just might be the answer.

Day Spas use these minerals as “an extension of skin care” and some even apply them after performing facial treatments on their clients to protect their client’s skin from external factors (such as the sun) with their natural SPF.

Another great advantage of using these minerals is that they’re “inert”, meaning they don’t support bacteria growth, making them ideal for clients who have problems with acne (Teens). They also contain anti-inflammatory ingredients, soothing and calming the skin from external aggressors that can cause irritation...Read more about Jane Iredale Mineral Makeup.
