It's back...Pink Up with us the month of October!
Start your relaxing spa day with our number one facial the HydraFacial. This 3 step facial is truly one of a kind offering instant and long-lasting results that you can see and feel. First, we will uncover a new layer of skin with a gentle exfoliation and relaxing resurfacing treatment. Next, we will remove debris from pores with machine suction and nourish the skin with intense moisturizers that quench the skin. Lastly, we will saturate the skin's surface with antioxidants and peptides to maximize you glow and increase collagen production. The HydraFacial is great for all skin types working on fine lines and wrinkles, skin texture, brown spots, enlarged pores, congested oily skin, firmness and more. Your spa day doesn't end there! Next we will take you to the salon to receive your wash and blowout. Do you want a sleek, smooth and straight look or are you going for big curls with lots of volume? Choose your perfect style from our blowout menu. This package will have you weekend, event or holiday party ready! And the best part is, 10% of our Pink Up Package sales will be donated to the Pink Up Cape Foundation to help local women in need.

The Skin Benefits of Vitamin C
Your body needs a variety of nutrients to look and function its best, of course, but vitamin C is a particularly important player. It offers much more than the immune-boosting properties you probably already know it for; because a lot of C is stored in your skin, it helps rejuvenate and protect your complexion whether you get it from food or apply it topically. Vitamin C in your skincare regimen is just as import as washing your face and applying sunscreen.
Here’s what happens when you feed your body vitamin C:
It helps keep the skin strong and firm. Along with minimizing the appearance of fine lines, vitamin C also helps the surface of your skin appear smoother and firmer.
It helps heal skin. Injuries that lead to scar tissue need the help of vitamin C to repair damaged skin.
Here’s what happens when you apply vitamin C topically:
It provides antioxidant protection. This feeds your skin protective antioxidants that fight free radical damage and inflammation caused by the sun, pollution and other factors.
It helps improve signs of aging. Topical vitamin C triggers collagen production by turning on fibroblasts, which helps improve the appearance of fine lines. Vitamin C also helps slow the breakdown of collagen, preserving skin’s structure.
It can even out skin tone. The L-ascorbic acid form of vitamin C interrupts the overproduction of pigment. Using vitamin C over a period can lighten brown spots.
