Saving Facewhen temperatures plummet, local spas slather on the skincare salves. by kristin detterline
The winter months were made for spa days: There is no better way to ease
holiday stress and escape the cold weather than a day of pampering that also
serves the dual purpose of treating skin’s seasonal ailments. According to
Sophia Brodsky, owner of the new Le Rêve Rittenhouse Medical Spa
(255 S. 17th St., 215-563-8888; lereverittenhousespa.com), the most common
complaint among her clients is dryness.
“Winter [weather] can take a toll on skin, so it’s important to keep your
skin hydrated and moisturized,” says Brodsky, who cites indoor heating
and plummeting temperatures outside as the main reasons for cracked,
red, irritated skin. Although all of Le Rêve’s facials are customized, a
skincare approach that Brodsky honed while growing up in Russia, she
says that moisturizer is the one treatment that is a must for most skin
types. “You should apply moisturizer twice a day, at minimum,” she
explains, adding that glycerin, jojoba oil, shea butter, and grapefruit seed
extract offer the most hydrating benefits.
Many of these Brodsky-approved ingredients make up the formulas
behind Aveda’s skincare line. Rizzieri Salon and Spa at Moorestown,
which recently moved into an expansive new home in South Jersey (400
Rte. 38, Ste. 1440, Moorestown, NJ, 856-985-1225; rizzieri.com) complete
with a barbershop, no-appointment-necessary blow-dry bar, and medi-
cal spa, has carried Aveda products for years and designed its spa menu
around the benefits of their natural, plant-based ingredients.
“Exfoliants and moisturizers are helpful in removing cells that build
up on the skin’s surface, allowing moisture to penetrate and then seal
water into the skin,” says owner Frank Rizzieri, who recommends
Aveda’s Lip Balm and the Tourmaline Charged range, which includes
products like an exfoliating masque and a hydrating crème. Many of
these lotions and potions are used in the Tourmaline Botanical Skin
Resurfacing Facial, a signature service that mimics microdermabra-
sion—minus the irritation and redness.
Whether it’s winter or not, Brodsky urges clients to take their skincare
cues from European spagoers. “Many women go to the spa once a week
all year long. It’s not a special occasion—it’s a part of their routine.” PS
Le Rêve Rittenhouse Medical Spa is known for its salt therapy body treatment.
