Flower Acid on Your Face?!

Yes! Absolutely! In Celebration of Spring, we are introducing a few Special Facial and Peel Treatments using Flower Acids . So we thought it only fitting to tell you why!

  As beautiful and delicate as flowers are, they are also very powerful. They contain effective acid that works to correct the skin. Among the most powerful are lotus, hibiscus and daisy flowers. The acids extracted from these flowers carry with then many benefits to brighten, improve hydration, balance oil production and provide rejuvenation. Daisy Flower (Bellis Perennis) works by influencing different pathways involved in melanin formation, counteracting age spots and balancing hyperpigmentation (discoloration and uneven skin tone). This powerful ingredient can also reverse existing pigmentation issues. Flower acids are classified as second-generation AHAs (alpha hydroxy acid) because of their ability to not only increase cell turn over, but also provide more hydration than lactic acid, and because they are non-irritating. Lotus (Lotus Japonicus Symbiosome) is a plant-based protein that closely mimics human globin proteins like hemoglobin and myoglobin. It actively works to inhibit tyrosine (an amino acid that produces pigmentation) activity, and when used in an acid formula these effects are boosted because it is necessary for the extract to work below the stratum. Lotus also has anti-inflammatory and healing properties, improves skin tone and provides hydration. Hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa) has potent moisturization and soothing properties, and contains a unique mix of organic acids that are non-irritating. Hibiscus is very effective in softening and dissolving acne cysts, balancing oil production, and brightening and rejuvenating the skin by creating the shedding of dead skin cells, and delivering healing and hydrating support. We’ve introduced several new flower-inspired corrective facials: 12 Flower Facial – this treatment uses a combination of flower acid products to infuse the skin with vital nutrients and antioxidants, provide moisturization and lightening benefits, and leave skin radiant. It also has a beautiful tropical scent that will whisk you away to an exotic paradise. Apple Flower Tighten and Lighten Peel – this treatment is results-driven and uses natural apple and red wine to firm and tighten, along with lotus to lighten and protect the skin from free-radical damage. The result is healthy, youthful skin. Flower Extract Facial – this one was created to aid with extractions. The Mandelic Arginine Peel teams with the Flower Acid in this facial to heal, soothe and help clear up skin. No matter what your skin goals are, flower acids and other flower ingredients offer wonderful solutions that will help bloom healthy, radiant, happy skin.
