Prepping my face for winter, step 1: Getting a hydrating facial at Johnathan Breitung Salon & Luxury Spa

Prepping my face for winter, step 1: Getting a hydrating facial at Johnathan Breitung Salon & Luxury Spa

Winter is coming! (Imagine I said that in my best deep Game of Thrones voice.) As soon as those radiators kick in, my face dries out and starts flaking off (SO gross!). This year, I vowed to do something different. I vowed to take care of my skin and not let it get all chapped and flaky. So, when the fabulous staff at Johnathan Breitung Salon & Luxury Spa invited me to come try their hydrating facial, I jumped at the chance!

I headed down to the spa area, where I changed into my robe and slippers and relaxed in a calming, candlelit room, complete with tea and trailmix.

Then, I met my awesome esthetician, Tonya. She used her magic creams and potions to bring my skin back to life. When I asked her for details about the treatments, she kindly explained what each one did and the reason behind it. Hydration facials are designed to work deep into skin and moisturize on a more intense level, and boy did I feel it! After my facial, my face felt smooth, fresh and glowy.

Tonya provided me with a personalized assessment of my skin and some recommended products that would help keep my face smooth all winter. I even got some samples of Dermalogica cleansers and moisturizers.

And, we can’t forget about the hands! My hands get cracked and chapped in the winter too, and a hydrating spa manicure is just what I needed to start the season off right. I was very impressed that the salon used Sparitual, a certified organic, vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free, fair trade line of products. I chose this funky, sparkly gray color called Sacred Ground. Thanks to Lein, my manicurist for the fabulous treatment.

I left the Johnathan Breitung Salon & Luxury Spa feeling pampered from face to fingers!
