Fall Beauty - Healthy and Colorful

Autumn is a time when we are more sensitive to nature. Being surrounded by a plethora of colorful leaves, fading flowers, and crisp air fascinates us. At the same time, we try to blend in with the environment by dressing in fall colors, changing hair color, and decorating our houses. The melancholy of passed summer is not overwhelming anymore. Fall is a really good time to take care of dry and tired skin. Summer with outdoor activities in the sun and water definitely has a big impact on our skin. Do not forget the benefits of massages.

During this time of year we should get deeper and more intense massages (Deep Tissue, or Shawnee Mixology Massage) that will strengthen your muscles AND skin. This form of forced muscle relaxations helps with the elasticity of the entire body, and will also make your skin firmer. 60 Minutes of a Swedish massage will have a tremendous effect on your body. You can also extend the effects of the massage at home – by an energetic rub with a bath towel. Better blood circulation is guaranteed.

We need to remember our face – which is exposed to the sun and pollution at all times. Make sure to deliver lots of vitamins through your diet. Face treatments like masks, fruit toners, and moisturizers are also helpful. This time of the year we should start using heavier lotions, creams and moisturizers filled with vitamins to make our skin look lighter, smoother and what is most important – healthier.

Enjoy the colors and nature!
