Health: Valentine's Facial
PHILADELPHIA (CBS 3) ―
In the latest health alert there is the ultimate beauty treatment designed just for ladies.
Flowers, rubies, and chocolate, imagine all those luscious Valentine's Day treats are wrapped up together. Not in a gift box but a facial.
"I wanted to eat it off my face," said Melanie DiPiero, who tried the facial.
She recently had a baby and decided to try the Valentine facial in hopes of rejuvenating her tired skin.
It starts with a cream that contains tiny beads of crushed rubies to exfoliate and remove dry, dull, lifeless skin. The next step is the chocolate.
"We like the consistency to be very similar to cake batter," said Karen Fox, owner of Ageless Skin Solutions in Marlton.
The chocolate, made from a specialized cocoa powder, contains anti-oxidants, enzymes and caffeine.
"Its de-puffing the skin so you're getting that tightening effect," said Karen.
Karen, who is an esthetician, came up with the idea for a Valentine facial with the special ingredients.
"It's just an all around wonderful treatment," said Karen.
"My face actually felt tighter too, it decreased my fine lines," said Melanie.
The grand finale consists of flower power in the form of a cream. It contains rose petals, lavender oil and other botanicals that can help boost collagen.
"It's relaxing and kind of keeps your mouth watering," said Melanie.
She said the Valentine facial helped improve her sensitive skin right away.
"Oh it's good, very soft. It's dewy. It's great. It's really hydrated too," said Melanie.
The facial costs about $120 and is available year round.
