Avance French Seaweed Wraps

Here in beautiful Santa Barbara we are so fortunate to have such an easy access to the ocean. While walking on the beach or swimming in the water we are in contact of seaweed, and many of us find it icky, when in fact it is the quite opposite. Many are not aware that seaweed contains many beneficial ingredients for your skin. Fortunately, if you choose to continue reading along I will begin to inform you on the nature of seaweed and how it can improve and nurture your skin.

Here at Spa Del Mar, we combine the qualities of organic seaweed with an exceptional French product, called Cures by Avance, in a hand-blended treatment.This product alone focuses on skin conditions, rather than specific skin types, meaning that it treats the root cause of the condition for long term results. For our seaweed wraps, we offer two choices of wraps, to focus on your specific needs. They include, the Detox Algae Wrap, which eliminates water retention. While the Seaweed Remineralizing Wrap focuses on hydrating and toning the skin.



With either seaweed wrap, they offer the following benefits:

Detoxification:
By applying the warm hand-blended paste to your body, this causes your body to sweat, relieving the toxins within. After, a relaxing rinse washes away these impurities that were brought to the surface.

Moisturizer:
Your skin feels dry because the dead skin on your body prevents you from absorbing moisture. The wrap loosens and removes dead skin, as well as providing it with ingredients that can then be easily soaked into your skin. These include proteins, vitamins, minerals, and lipids. After your body is fully moisturized you are left feeling smooth and glowing.

Improves your body’s appearance:
Seaweed wraps also reduce the appearance of cellulite, wrinkles, and stretch marks. The antioxidants, fatty acids, and vitamins that seaweed contains helps improve your skin’s elasticity, regenerates damaged skin cells, and produces a natural collagen that firms and tones your skin.



If that alone is not enough attention to your body, the full body wraps also includes a dry skin brushing, a re-hydration treatment, and a 20 minute massage by our amazing and highly knowledgeable therapists.
