SKIN CARE IN A CUP
By LeAnne Nguyen. M.E.
Based on the work of Shelly Burns, N.D.

For the last 27 years the Alternative Salon has been known for its excellent hair services for all our guests. What you might not realize is that we also have advance skin care services available.

Skin care services are provided by our Medical Estheticians. Our medical estheticians are highly trained, certified cosmetic therapists that are trained in helping to prevent the effects of aging, reduce the effects of aging and help those people with skin disorders or inflictions to remedy their skin problems.

A way to help maintain healthy skin tone and condition between facial treatments is through proper consumption of foods, minerals and nutrients. One of which is Green tea. Green tea, a longtime Chinese elixir, has been used historically to treat headaches, body aches, poor digestion, and improve life expectance. It’s also good for skin.

Due to the steaming process green tea leaves are left full of polyphenols, which serves as powerful antioxidants that help fight free radicals encountered from food consumption and environmental stress.

Green tea also is rich in vitamin K, which allows calcium to be formed in the matrix of bones and supports mental acuity. Green tea also has thermogenic effect, which aid in weight loss without causing unwanted side effects, such as the “jiffers”.

Drink 6 to 10 cups of green tea daily, preferable by steeping the leaves, will provide you with all the benefits associated with its polyphenols. Decaffeinated green tea has all of the antioxidant benefits without the caffeine side effects.

In support of all the benefits that Green tea has to offer, The Alternative Salon & Spa is now serving all variety of Green Teas to our salon guests. Whether you like your tea hot or cold, we encourage our guests to raise a cup to Green Tea and reap the benefits.
