Energize Your Skin at A French Touch!

By

Bonjour, Mes Amis!

energizeAs I hinted at last week, and as you saw in our Newsletter, we are very excited about introducing Sothys’ brand new Intensive Energizing Treatment at our event on the 21st of November!  This new facial and line of home care products are designed to recharge, regenerate, and illuminate the youthful glow in your skin.

Our skin cells depend on energy from hydration and nutrition in order to keep in tip top shape; when they don’t get the nutrients they need, they aren’t able to produce all of the energy they need, which leads to compromised skin, showing more prominent wrinkles, slackening, and a loss of substance and radiance.  Stress, poor diet, poor exercise habits, aging, smoking, lack of sleep, and other external aggressions only serve to exaggerate these tired, dull, and less-than-flattering effects.  

Now, allow me to introduce Sothys’ Energizing Treatment, with it’s secret ingredient Siberian Ginseng, to eliminate that dull and tired look!  This treatment has visible results on all skin types, and is intended to keep you looking fresh and luminous all year long.  

Energizing-Line

The phrase ‘youthful glow’ wasn’t coined for nothing; one of the most notable features of young-looking skin is its natural ability to softly reflect light, due to sturdy skin cell and collagen structures.  But alas, these fade with age, and thus we end up with skin that looks a bit lifeless in comparison.

Siberian Ginseng, which contains both vitamin C and E, acts as a powerful anti-free radical and helps in the fortification of collagen and the maintenance of optimal energy levels in skin cells, by both protecting existing energy reserves and stimulating more energy production.  This helps to increase cellular repair and regeneration and leads to firmer, smoother skin that is better able to reflect light.  And voila, you have your youthful glow back!


In the salon, our Energizing Treatment will include: 

  • A thorough cleanse & enzymatic exfoliating scrub with pineapple extract (digests dead skin cells and debris and clears out your pores)
  • Siberian Ginseng Extract is massaged into the skin, to ‘stimulate the flow of Chi’ in the skin
  • Siberian Ginseng Modelling Cream is massaged into the skin, to ‘balance the flow of energy’
  • A Double Energy Perfecting Mask is applied with Vitamin C and Siberian Ginseng
  • Energizing Day Cream (for Normal/Combination/Oily skin) or Energizing Comfort Day Cream (for Dry skin) is applied to sooth and moisturize, while continuing to illuminate with Siberian Ginseng


sothys1The immediate illuminating effects of this treatment are best cared for and maintained with the continued use of Energizing Day Cream and Energizing Night Cream, which continue to incorporate Siberian Ginseng in your daily home care regimen, along with natural stimulating, regenerative, and comforting ingredients like glycolic acid and lupine extracts.

This treatment will be officially introduced and demonstrated at our Sothys Event on the 21st of November, and home care samples will be provided so that you can experience the illuminating effects of Siberian Ginseng before your facial!  You can also purchase this treatment as a gift for someone else with our Holiday Gift Certificate Special; get a French Touch Gift Certificate valued at $125 for $100! No matter what age, or how advanced your signs of visible aging are, our cells need energy to keep our skin healthy and radiant.  Find your inner energy with us; book an appointment online, and be sure to attend our Petite Soirée de Sothys on the 21st!

Bonjour, Mes Amis!

Grade Four is designed to target advanced symptoms of aging skin, surpassing those of the 30- to 50-somethings we’ve discussed so far.  In addition to deeper wrinkles and permanent expression lines, Grade Four also targets the loss of density, radiance, strength, and ability to retain moisture that skin incurs as we age.

– H2CR Complex: improves cellular health and strength, leaving your skin healthier, more radient, and better able to resist symptoms of aging

– Flax Complex with Rice Nutripeptides: nourishes skin cells with omega 3 and 6, sugars, and peptides to strengthen cells, and firm and reinforce skin’s natural, youthful structure

– Rye Seed Extract; stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis, which firms the skin while filling and smoothing wrinkles, which rejuvenates and reveals the essence of youthful skin

grade4creamThese active ingredients work along side those in the Grade Four Cream, which work to increase cell metabolism, strength, life, and the skin’s overall radiance and youthful glow.  The stars on the Grade Four Cream’s ingredient list include:

– Candle Brush Extract: protects skin cells by acting as an anti-free radic

– Tetrapeptides: strengthens cells and protects them against wrinkling and forming lines

– Alfalfa Extract: acts to fortify the structure and strength of cells by inhibiting the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin

– Myrtle Extract: extends cell life, to retain the strong cells and strengthened structure of the skin

youthful skin

Sothys Anti-Aging: Grade 3

By

Bonjour, Mes Amis!

If Grades One and Two don’t sound like your cup of tea, perhaps your needs are more suited to Sothys’ Age Defying Grade Three.  This more advanced stage of the anti-aging system has a more intensive anti-wrinkle agenda than the previous grades, intended to target the deeper wrinkles typical in the skin of those of us who are in the 50-something age range, as well as an added focus on loss of firmness.  At a certain point in the visible aging of our skin, we notice that not only do we have permanent or semi-permanent lines and wrinkles, but that our skin doesn’t really hold it’s shape and place like it used to.  You know what I’m talking about; the looser bags under the eyes, the relaxing of the skin on the cheeks, jawline, chin, and neck, and a slight loss of that youthful, je-ne-sais-quoi radiance.  

53_Sothys-Anti-wrinkle-Restructuring-Serum-Grade-3-1oz-_500

Sothys’ Grade Three Serum aims to target these signs of age with:

– H2CR Complex: to strengthen and revive cellular health

– Dill Seed Extract: to renew the skin’s elasticity

– Almond Biofibers: to treat wrinkles by tensing and firming the skin

– Tri and Tetra Peptides: to boost collagen synthesis and repairs damage to the skin caused by aging and deep wrinkles  

These natural ingredients actively work to fortify your skin’s cells in order to re-structure the looser skin around the face and to firm and lift these places by restoring the skin’s elasticity, especially around the jawline and chin.

sothys-anti-ageing-cream-comfort-grade-3The partnering Grade Three Cream is designed to work synergistically with the serum to renew and fortify the skin’s natural elasticity and shape, and includes:
– Candle Brush Extract: which protects skin cells by acting as an anti-free radical

– Tetrapeptide: which strengthens cells and protects them against wrinkling and forming lines

– Alfalfa Extract: which acts to fortify the structure and strength of cells by inhibiting the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin, thereby leaving it firmer and less prone to wrinkles.

The peptide and protein complex also hydrates the skin while restoring elasticity, which restores not only the smoothness of younger times, but a healthy, supple glow that we often loose due to decreased moisture retention in aging skin.

Tomorrow we will talk about the last and strongest of Sothys’ Anti-Aging Grade System, so stay tuned if you aren’t sure which grade is right for you!  If you need some help deciding or would like to pick your Age Defying duo up, call us or make an appointment online, and we’d be happy to reserve a set for you!

Alors, à bientôt!

A deeply relaxing massage then prepares for a boost of vitality combining layers of frothy hyaluronic acid and a peel-off Vitamin C mask. To complete this one-of-a-kind facial, the Enlightening fluid brings instant lifting and smoothing results. Your skin and soul are energized for complete wellness.”

Sothys Anti-Aging: Grade 2

By

Bonjour, Mes Amis!

Let’s carry on with Sothys’ Age-Defying System and talk about Grade Two!

grade2serum


Grade Two steps up the anti-aging power as we begin our forties, in order to address more advanced issues of visible aging than Grade One.  The wrinkles are a bit deeper now, as opposed to the just-visible early signs, and the expression lines have become more permanent; these cause more lines across the forehead, around the mouth and nose, and around the eyes , referred to as “crows’  feet.”

grade2cream

The Grade Two Serum incorporates the H2CR Complex once again, to strengthen and revive cellular health, but adds Hyaluronic acid, a hydrating component found in our own skin, which plumps fine lines and then works even further by stimulating collagen growth.  This combination of healthier cells and collagen production works in the long term especially to minimize the appearance of  wrinkles and keep your skin looking firm and youthful.  Use this with the Grade Two Cream, which incorporates Candle Brush Extract to protect skin cells by acting as an anti-free radical, and African Tiger Nut Extract to reinforce the structure of the Papillary Dermis (just under the top layer of your skin) to increase the firmness and smooth over wrinkles and lines.

Once again, I’m going to cover the next two steps in Sothys’ Anti-Aging System this week, but if you’d like to learn more now, call us or book an appointment online to find out what would work best for your skin.

Alors, à demain!

Sothys Anti-Aging: Grade 1

By

Bonjour, Mes Amis!

eye02This week I wanted to talk about one of the most comprehensive anti-age skin care systems luxury has to offer: Sothys’ Grade Serum and Cream system.  Each of the four grade duos in the system is designed to specifically target your skin’s visible signs of age, whether you are battling the first wrinkles or deeper lines and delicate skin.  

The secret ingredient to the Grade Serums is the H2CR Complex (Cell Health Restoration Complex), which combines Plant Messenger Peptides and Powerful Natural Antioxidants to improve cell communication and protection; this means that your cells will be stronger, firmer, and better able to retain their shape and moisture, leaving you with radiant, revitalized skin.  The Grade Creams, which are designed to work with their respective serums, combine tetrapeptide with various natural plant extracts to target similar problem areas, especially the various stages of lines and wrinkles.

So for today, let’s start at the beginning, with the Grade One Duo.  This stage of Sothys’ anti-aging line is perfect for someone who is just starting to notice the beginning signs of wrinkle formation (fine lines around the eyes, mouth, or on the forehead), or for someone who simply wants to fortify their skin to fight early visible signs of aging.  Grade One is the mildest of the four stages, meaning that it will pack just the right amount of anti-aging power for all of you 30-somethings out there, to keep your skin looking healthy and radiant.

The Grade One Serum combines the H2CR Complex with Ribose (sugar) molecules fromgrade1creamgrade1serum wheat, which restores cellular energy while the H2CR works to revitalize the skin’s appearence and fight early signs of wrinkles and expression lines.  The second half of our wrinkle-fighting duo, Grade One Cream, which includes Candle Brush extract (an anti-free radical!), Di-peptides, and Oat Extract to protect and strengthen cells, relax facial muscles, and work with its serum counterpart to prevent the formation of wrinkles and expression lines.

Stay tuned for details on Grades Two, Three, and Four this week to see which grade is the right fit for you and your skin, and learn about how Sothys can help you turn back time and melt away the years!  Of course, if you simply can’t wait, give us a call or book an appointment online for a Skin Care Consultation and talk to Patricia about Sothys’ Anti-Aging Grade System.

Alors, à bientôt!

Bisous,
