Turn Your Regular Facial Into A Face Lift at Le Petit Spa

Turn your spa facial into a mini “face lift” with Le Petit Spa’s newest facial add on treatment.

Our new Collagen Mask facial add on “plunges” hydration and other highly beneficial ingredients into the skin; plumping fine lines, wrinkles and dehydration lines.

But what does collagen do? What’s the big deal?

Collagen is a natural tissue found in our skin. As we age, collagen supply decreases from our skin at a rate of 1% every year after the age of 20. Collagen keeps our skin hydrated, firm and “plump”, without it wrinkles form.

To keep your skin youthful looking and healthy, using a daily moisturizer is recommended. However; when a regular moisturizer isn’t enough to rid your skin of the look of time, collagen injections and other fillers are being turned to.

For those clients who are not ready to turn to injections, Le Petit Spa’s newest facial add on treatment may just be your answer.

What source of collagen is used in this mask?

When you receive a collagen injection treatment, it is usually a bovine source of collagen (cow tissue). Your body readily accepts this form of collagen although some can reject it.

In Le Petit Spa’s new collagen mask, the source of collagen and all other ingredients is marine. Your body knows how to absorb marine ingredients as marine ingredients are extremely close to our bodies own blood plasma molecular structure.

What other ingredients are in this mask?

Besides Marine Collagen, other ingredients that promote collagen production found in this mask are:

1. Algae Extract - Stimulating and revitalizing, this seaweed extract nourishes the skin with amino acids that are essential to healthy skin.

2. Hyaluronic Acid - This natural protein found in our skin holds up to 1000 times its weight in water. It acts as a sponge and absorbs moisture deep into the skin.

3. Beta Glucan - A soluble fiber found in cell walls of oat kernals. It penetrates deep into the skin and promotes production of collagen.

4. Purslane Extract - A leafy plant which contains Omega - 3 fatty acids with an emollient and soothing property for the skin.

5. Marine Collagen Complex - Contains natural amino acids and extremely pure and concentrated source of proteins and marine collagen essential to the health of skin.

How does this mask work with the skin?

This mask works by promoting the production of new collagen. The Marine Collagen Complex and the beta glucan ingredients boost collagen in the deep layers of the skin. Algae and purslane extracts replenish the skin with precious fatty acids and amino acids - soothing and revitalizing it, while hyaluronic acid quenches the skin with needed moisture.

Because these ingredients are from the sea and other natural sources, the human skin knows how to absorb and use these ingredients to the best of their potential.

This facial add on can be incorporated into any of the existing Le Petit Spa facial services to give your skin a needed boost in hydration levels, plump dehydration and fine lines and wrinkles.
