Smoke has been in the air here in Calgary for about 10 days now, and I'm not sure about you but I have noticed the toll it has taken on my skin! Your skin absorbs all of the pollutants in the air and can also starve your skin of oxygen, over prolonged periods of time this can cause wrinkles, premature aging, and loss of skin elasticity. If you are already prone to eczema, this smoke may be bringing that out in you, or, if you do not normally suffer from eczema, you could be noticing dryer than normal skin!

There are many things you can do at home to make sure you are protecting your skin, such as regular cleansing, Wake Up & Glow oil application in the morning and at night, as well as Wake Up & Tone- the tea tree oil is extremely beneficial in smokey climates and as always, drink plenty of water!
These steps are great action to take, however, due to the extended period of time we have been exposed to this poor air quality, booking in for a Deep Cleansing Extraction Facial could be the best way to get your skin back to were it should be! Due to demand we have opened up our books for extra facials this week to help all you beauties get your skin glowing!
