3 Reasons Why You Need a Facial

April 9, 2024

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to forget the importance of self-care. However, taking time for yourself is crucial for maintaining your overall well-being. More than just a luxury, facials offer numerous benefits for your skin and your mental health. Here are three reasons why you should include them in your self-care routine:

Reason 1: You’re feeling stressed and could use a little ‘me time’ to unwind.

In a world filled with constant pressures, stress has become unavoidable. From work deadlines to personal responsibilities, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Self-care practices like getting a facial can provide much-needed relief from stress.

Our spa locations offer a serene and calming environment where you can unwind and focus solely on yourself. The gentle massage techniques used during facials help to release tension from your facial muscles, promoting relaxation and rejuvenation.

Reason 2: Your skin is feeling dry or dull and needs a little boost to feel refreshed 

Environmental factors, aging, and lifestyle habits all take a toll on your skin, leaving it dull, dry, and lackluster. A facial can work wonders in restoring your skin’s natural radiance and vitality.

Our range of facials involve a combination of cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating treatments tailored to your skin’s specific needs. By removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores, facials help to reveal fresh, glowing skin underneath. Additionally, esthetician-selected nourishing masks and serums used during facials deliver intense hydration, leaving your skin feeling soft, supple, and rejuvenated.

Whether you’re struggling with dryness, dullness, or uneven texture, facials can provide the boost your skin needs to look and feel its best. With regular facials, you can maintain a healthy and radiant complexion year-round, regardless of the external factors that may be affecting your skin.

Reason 3: You want to smooth fine lines and promote collagen production

As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen and elasticity, leading to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. While aging is a natural process, there are steps you can take to slow down its effects and maintain a youthful appearance.

Facials offer several anti-aging benefits that can help minimize the signs of aging and promote a more youthful complexion. Our facials incorporate ingredients such as retinol, vitamin C, and peptides, known for stimulating collagen production and improving skin elasticity. Facial massage techniques also help increase blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, promoting a more toned and lifted appearance.

By investing in regular facials, you can effectively target and address the signs of aging, helping you to maintain a youthful and radiant complexion for years to come. Rather than resorting to invasive procedures or harsh skin care products, opt for a gentle and holistic approach to anti-aging with regular facials.

In conclusion, facials are not just a luxury indulgence; they are an essential component of a well-rounded self-care routine. From reducing stress and promoting relaxation to addressing specific skincare concerns, facials offer a multitude of benefits for both your skin and your overall well-being. So why wait? Treat yourself to a facial today and experience the transformative power of self-care firsthand. Your skin will thank you for it!

How to Help Treat Rosacea

April 9, 2024

Embracing clear, radiant skin is a journey, and for those navigating the ups and downs of rosacea, it can feel like a winding path. Modern skincare science offers a plethora of medSPA treatments, facials, and specialized products to help soothe the symptoms of rosacea and reveal a complexion that glows with confidence.

At milk + honey, MedSpa treatments harness cutting-edge technology and expertise to target rosacea at its source. Here are some tried-and-true options that we offer:

  1. BroadBand Light (BBL) Therapy: BBL therapy delivers pulses of light energy to target redness and visible blood vessels associated with rosacea. It’s a non-invasive treatment that can yield significant improvements in skin tone and texture.
  2. Chemical Peels: Gentle chemical peels exfoliate the skin, removing dead cells and impurities while promoting cell turnover. This can help reduce redness and inflammation associated with rosacea, revealing smoother, more radiant skin.
  3. Moxi Laser Treatment: Moxi is a gentle laser treatment that targets pigment irregularities and uneven skin tone. It can help reduce redness and improve skin texture, leaving behind a more even and youthful complexion.

Facials are not only a treat for the senses but also a therapeutic experience for rosacea-prone skin. Here are some soothing options offered at our spa locations:

  1. Signature Facial: a customized experience with gentle products to help relieve and redness. It includes cleansing, masques, extractions, toning, and intense moisture.
  2. Brightening Facial: to help brighten the skin, this facial includes a same-day peel, jelly masque and red light LED

Skincare products play a crucial role in managing rosacea on a daily basis. Here are some essential ingredients to look for:

  1. Niacinamide: Also known as vitamin B3, niacinamide has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce redness and calm rosacea-prone skin.
  2. Hyaluronic Acid:Hyaluronic acid is a hydrating powerhouse that helps replenish moisture in the skin without clogging pores or exacerbating redness.
  3. Ceramides: Ceramides are lipid molecules that help strengthen the skin barrier, preventing moisture loss and protecting against environmental aggressors.
  4. Green Tea Extract: Green tea extract is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, making it an excellent ingredient for soothing and protecting rosacea-prone skin.

Treating rosacea is not just about skincare; it’s about self-care, compassion, and embracing the journey towards healthier, happier skin. Remember to be patient with yourself, listen to your skin’s needs, and celebrate every step forward, no matter how small.

With the right combination of MedSpa treatments, rejuvenating facials, and targeted skincare products, managing rosacea can become not just a challenge, but a triumph of self-love and resilience. So, here’s to unveiling radiant skin and embracing the beauty of every moment along the way.

Our Founder’s Favorite Spa Treatments

May 7, 2021

I always receive the same text when a friend visits milk + honey for the first time. It’s always a little something like “What should I do?” or “Which service is your favorite?” And of course, it can be difficult to recommend just one spa service. For one, I haven’t tried all of them yet. And secondly, every single one I have experienced has been a dream. So, I decided to go to the top for advice. I sat down with milk + honey founder, Alissa Bayer to ask her for her current top three favorite services. Scroll for Alissa’s picks (in no particular order.)

Before and After: How the HydraFacial Saved My Skin

January 18, 2017

If you haven’t experienced a HydraFacial yet, what are you waiting for? It’s nothing short of amazing. And if you’ve ever heard one of your friends singing its praises, I promise you — that friend is not exaggerating. In fact, I’m about to join in the chorus and share a few nuggets, including a before-and-after shot, from my most recent HydraFacial treatment.

My skin type: Combination Dry

Current state of skin: Dry and red irritation; oily patches (mostly cheek area), clogged pores, and a hormonal breakout around the jawline. Oof. General dullness. I’ve been traveling more than usual and the stress — and indulgence — of the holidays certainly caught up to my skin. Between major climate changes (cold, frigid Boston air vs. Austin’s warmer temps) and over 30 hours of flight time (Austin > Japan > Shanghai > Austin > Boston > Austin) logged, let’s just say my skin wasn’t looking its best.

Goals for HydraFacial: I know not everything can be “cured” in one session, but I wanted to leave with clear pores and lots of hydration. My skin was screaming for it.

Results Post-HydraFacial: Glowy-ness! My skin feels rejuvenated and undeniably clean. It’s the most hydrated version of itself right now and I couldn’t be more pleased. The jawline breakouts, while still visible to me, have been stopped in their tracks. Finally, the sallow tone of my skin is gone. Success!

Acne, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and discoloration have met their match with our CosMedix corrective peels. Peels work by gently removing the top damaged or dry layer of the epidermis to reveal smooth, youthful renewed skin. At milk + honey, we offer two types of peels: Same-Day and Advanced Peels. While both options reveal beautiful results, our Advanced Peels require two weeks of skin prep, given the potent combination of rejuvenating acids and enzymes utilized.
