Seasonal Splendor: Apple Blackberry Facial

January 3, 2013 By patkaspian

The new year is a time for renewal, and your skin is no exception!

During winter, your skin’s regeneration slows down and it needs to boost its defense system in order to restore its soft, luminous surface. Usher in the cold winter months with this new limited edition facial designed to nourish and hydrate the skin. This seasonal Apple Blackberry Facial refreshes in three ways: oxy-mineral treatment, exfoliation, and aromatherapy.

The millions of toxins that are produced by your skin on a daily basis suffocate it, but this oxy-mineral treatment contains multi-functional antitoxins and a cocktail of minerals to help your skin cope with the attacks of winter and restore its radiance. The boost of oxygen helps your skin breathe and minerals provide it with a vital source of energy.

The two-in-one mask exfoliant is a scrub and mask in one product – the scrub removes impurities from the skin and the mask provides more oxygen. Rich in pink clay, it supplies softness and radiance to the skin.

Be immersed in the scents of the season with delicious and refreshing notes of apple and blackberry as you relax and allow your skin to be revitalized.

Through January, enjoy this limited edition facial for $85 (a $95 value) in addition to receiving a complimentary serum for at-home treatment and continued radiance.

Legendary Lashes

August 24, 2012 By patkaspian

At A French Touch Salon, we are proud to introduce a new product to our repertoire – Sothys Mascara Soin Volume, or Volume Care Mascara.  As we all know, shopping for mascara can be a daunting task simply because there are so many options for such similar products.  Fear not, however; we’re here to make it easier.  Let’s take a look at the many components involved in mascara selection.

  1. The brush:  From futuristic bell-shaped bristles to those that literally vibrate, it seems as though each company is more desperate than the last to come up with the most outrageous design.  Yet none of these new technologies have actually caught on, and for good reason: there is just no way to improve the design of the classic mascara brush.  Just like the French manner of dress, the classic brush is simple, easy to manage, and never tries too hard.  The Sothys brush is classic in every way – symmetrical, medium-sized, with evenly spaced bristles and a tapered end.  Keeping it simple, as women have since Ancient Egypt.
  2. The color:  Colored mascaras belong on the runway and at costume parties.  Once again, keep it simple.  The Sothys mascara in noir is black, but a soft black appropriate for any lash shade, skin tone, or hair color.  Perfect for anyone, from those who wish to tint their blonde lashes to women with a penchant for dark, smokey eye makeup.
  3. The formula itself:  The formula is the most subtly complicated element of a mascara.  It is always better to opt for natural ingredients to put on your body, rather than harsh chemicals.  As with food, in beauty products it is important to look for ingredients that you recognize and can actually pronounce.  Sothys uses beeswax to naturally create a creamy texture, minimizing both chemical involvement and visible imperfections.  This is the benefit of makeup made by a skincare line – it is formulated to focus on benefiting the body, rather than simply looking pretty.

Whether or not you now feel enlightened in the realm of mascara, keep one thing in mind above all else: always buy beauty products that do something to benefit your face and body.  Even the creamiest of foundations can just sit on top of your skin and collect bacteria; even the most silky and lustrous of mascaras can make your actual lashes dry and brittle.  Opting for a beneficial product will be satisfying in the long run, and Sothys has found just the right combination of wholesome ingredients and effective makeup in this volumizing mascara.

And if all this still isn’t convincing, Sothys mascara was featured in Vogue Paris.  Très chic!

Stop by the salon today to try this new product!

Iris and Litchi Body Treatment

This limited-edition treatment evokes the exotic in its combination of the essences of litchi, the favorite fruit of Chinese emperors, and iris, the flower immortalized by the Egyptians as a symbol of the renewal of life.  Treat yourself to a half-hour calming body treatment starting with a sea salt exfoliation followed by an emulsifying velvet massage.

We are excited to introduce you to these revolutionary body treatments, but even more excited that their introduction can be part of this extraordinary day of beauty.  What could be better than sampling world-renowned spa treatments in the picturesque creek-side setting of A French Touch, all while sipping champagne and enjoying French delicacies?  Take the time to indulge in a well-deserved day of relaxation and beautification, the perfect way to sample these body treatments and decide to continue them in the future.

As if there weren’t already enough benefits to the event, scheduling a treatment will enter you in our raffle for a Full-Size Body Kit and other product and service prizes.  Even if you don’t have the time to take a day of relaxation, keep in mind that a body treatment is only about thirty minutes long – perfect for a quick midday getaway!
