OMOROVICZA FACIAL
Spa-goers troubled by acneic and sensitive skin get down-and-dirty in their fight for clarity courtesy of the Omorovicza Facial
($170, 60 minutes) at Alvadora Spa at the Royal Palms Resort and
Spa (Phoenix). The facial incorporates exclusive paraben- and
petrochemical-free Omorovicza products from Hungary that
are made from natural ingredients like ruby crystals and mud
from Lake Hévíz. The products are also infused with Hungarian thermal water, which is rich in calcium, copper, magnesium,
manganese, and zinc—minerals that are said to boost collagen
and elasticity, smooth and soften the skin, and improve eczema
and extreme dryness. The facial is performed on a heated-water
bed to emulate the feeling of a Hungarian bathhouse and includes
a cleansing, an exfoliation of the face and décolleté, and a mask
that draws out impurities. A facial massage using Hungarian techniques that stimulate microcirculation and lymphatic drainage is
then followed by an application of Complexion Enhancer with SPF
15 and a spritz of Queen of Hungary Mist. “We’re seeing amazing
results for a variety of skin conditions,” says spa director Michelle
Kinney. “It’s especially good for mature skin, but really everyone
has been thrilled after the facial. The power of the minerals is
obvious.” For Omorovicza products: www.omorovicza.com.—J.K.
Liftosome
Sagging skin will be uplifted by Guinot’s Liftosome ($95 suggested, 60 minutes)
treatment, a facial that works to energize, tighten, and firm the skin while smoothing
away fine lines and wrinkles. Following a thorough cleansing, Pro-Collagen Face
Concentrate, which is a penetrating cocktail of alaria esculenta seaweed, pro-collagen,
and vitamin C is applied, and the face is covered with gauze. Next, to help the
ingredients penetrate, Thermolift Face Mask is slathered on top of the gauze and
left on for 15 minutes. After the mask is removed, the skin is rinsed with water
and toning lotion, and Serum Anti-Age, which helps restore surface elasticity, is
massaged into the face, neck, and décolleté. The facial offers immediate visible
results by acting on two levels—vertically for firming and horizontally for tightening—
to restore the skin’s elasticity, tone, and texture. It’s the ultimate solution for clients in
need of a little lift. For Guinot products: (212) 532-1030; www.guinotusa.com.—J.K.
