New Beauty Magazine Names Guinot’s Masque Hydra Sensitive “Top Product”
Guinot’s Masque Hydra Sensitive was recently named one of the “Top 100 Best Products of The Year” by New Beauty Magazine. Masque Hydra Sensitive relieves and calms your skin with an in-depth treatment that works instantly to help your skin boost its own natural defenses.
Guinot’s Masque Hydra Sensitive helps to:
- Soothe irritations.
- Reinforce the protection of the epidermis and the skins natural defenses.
- Visibly calm redness.
The Masque Hydra Sensitive’s formula includes activators that work on the surface to protect and reinforce sensitive skin. “With sensitive skin, you need to be extra gentle. And if you want gorgeous skin, you’ve got to baby it, and this product does both,” said Seasons Aesthetician Lisa Best. The natural ingredients in Masque Hydra Sensitive like Vitamin E restore, reinforce, and protect lipids from damage caused by free radicals. Chamomile extract and oak sooth irritations deep within your skin while Centellas asiatica extract help revitalize it.
Say goodbye to redness! Sensitive skin is vulnerable and needs extra protection from brutal environmental elements such as temperature variations and pollution. This sensitivity can manifest in the appearance of redness, friction or an itching sensation. “After using Masque Hydra Sensitive, the skin’s natural barrier of defense is reinforced and redness is visibly reduced, leaving the skin feeling comfortable, soothed and moisturized,” said Best.
“At Seasons – The Spa, we use Masque Hydra Sensitive in many of our treatments. Our clients love the way their skin looks and feels,” said Best. Want more good news? This product is also available for purchase at Seasons – The Spa so you can enjoy beautiful skin any time. For an at-home treatment once or twice a week, apply a thick layer to clean face and neck. Leave on for 10 minutes. Remove with water and apply toner.

American Spa Magazine Features the Aromatic Facial
Guinot’s Aromatic Facial is featured in the October 2011 issue of American Spa Magazine. The Aromatic Facial offered at Seasons – The Spa is an all natural facial using essential oils and plant extracts. Great even during pregnancy, this “green facial” provides the “glow” without the chemicals that your body doesn’t need during this important time.
The treatment takes relaxation to a new level with the use of gentle effleurage movements and one of five Aromatic Essential Oils-Balance, Energy, Nourishing, Serenity, and Vitality-that is chosen based on the client’s particular skin type. A pressure-point massage ensures that the skin absorbs the rich plant actives, which help to hydrate, balance, and energize the skin. A custom-blended peel-offmask, also rich with plant concentrates, helps calm the skin and leave it glowing.

Oprah’s “O Magazine” Features Guinot’s Huile Satinée
October 2011 issue of ''O Magazine''
In the October 2011 issue of Oprah’s O Magazine, Guinot’s Huile Satinée (Satin Body Oil) is named one of their “favorite skin softeners.” This spray body oil improves the texture, strength, and vitality of dull, dry skin.
Haile Satinée “softens and repairs skin with silk extracts, fatty acids, and vitamin E” said O Magazine. The non-greasy, ultra-fine mist is quickly and effortlessly absorbed leaving your skin soft and super moisturized. The writers for O agree and give Guinot extra kudos because not only does the formula absorb quickly but it “doesn’t leave skin looking slick.”
“Huile Satinée is especially great for nourishing the areas of the body that tend to get really dry like the elbows and knees,” said Seasons Aesthetician, Lisa Best. “Regularly using a body oil will make the skin look younger and reinforce its elasticity.”
Key ingredients include silk extracts, grape seed oil, evening primrose oil, apricot kernel oil, grapefruit, lemon, and sweet orange essential oils. Huile Satinée delivers instant comfort while providing the skin with antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties.
Seasons – The Spa is proud to carry the full line of Guinot skin and body products including Huile Satinée. Stop by to shop or sample all of our Guinot products.

The Photofacial Phenomenon: How to Rejuvenate Your Skin With a Series of Treatments
UV damage before and after Photofacial treatments using Visia Skin Analysis
Perhaps you’ve heard of photofacial treatments. But exactly what is a photofacial?
Photofacial treatments use an intense pulsed light (IPL) to penetrate your skin on the deepest levels causing your body to produce new collagen, creating healthier and smoother skin. This non-ablative, non-invasive treatment can be performed on the face, chest, neck, arms, legs and back.
IPL Photofacial is particularly suited for treating rosacea, sun damaged skin, age spots, and facial veins and will give you the best results when treated in a series. Pain associated with treatment is very minimal and most clients report the feeling of the IPL light beam to be like a rubber band snapping against the skin.
Photofacial results are long-lasting if you undergo the presribed number of treatments. A skin regimen can be carried out at home to maintain the results. After a couple of years, a touch-up photofacial treatment might be needed.
Give your skin an energy boost at Seasons – The Spa! Schedule your treatment during September and take $50 off your treatment (see our September Beauty Bonus). For more information about photofacial treatments and other skin rejuvenation services, please visit our Spa Services page.
To schedule your photofacial treatment or a complementary consultation and Visia Skin Analysis with our Aesthetician, call Seasons – The Spa at 318.255.1155.
