Cove Beauty News & Media

November 2010 E News

It’s that time of the month again and we invite you to experience what we are all about, here at Cove Spa and that journey includes sharing the most updated industry news with you.
As well as pampering our guests we endeavor to keep you in touch with what’s hot and what’s not….
Winter is but a distant memory now… and all that remains to remind us of this time is our skin that is in need of desperate S.O.S (SAVE OUR SKIN)  strategies ……
Thank goodness we are just a phone call away….. Why not try our Skin Rescue Cocoa Gommage which will slough off all the reminders of winter and leave you feeling that “lazy days are ahead swinging in a hammock surrounded by palm trees kind of feeling” – allow an hour for this treatment and $120.
With Melbourne Cup Day on our door step…… have you made sure you are ready for the paparazzi?
 Bronzed skin, Immaculate Feet  and Luscious Lashes  are what it’s all about…..  We recommend the Techno Tan Bronzing Program – here’s what it’s all about ………
EXFOLIATE &MOISTURIZE your skin to perfection running up to the event…..  as insufficient exfoliation  hydration & nourishment of skin prior to any tan may result in an uneven result, so prep yourself with our “scrub in a tub” this is a low foam treatment enriched with shea butter, jojoba, macadamia and avocado seed oils, the perfect cocktail of ingredients to get the skin prepped perfectly  for your golden glow! Our selection of specialized colours to suit ‘every’ skin colour will result in a perfect tan for just $50. We have taken precautions to ensure you will never leave Cove Spa with brown palms or orange knees, why trust yourself with anyone else! Our tans are hot…others are not!
Post Program make sure you manage your tan to maximize your paparazzi moments – our Tan Saver Body Wash & Body Butters, Shimmers, Bronzers & Tan Extenders have all been formulated to do this gracefully. 
With the sun out and about we are all bound to be soaking it up …. Remember; most importantly above all else your sunscreen!  Spray on tans are THE BEST WAY TO AVOID LONG TERM SUN DAMAGE to the skin  BUT remember they are NOT and don’t act as a SUNSCREEN!  Living in these  harsh conditions and with our ever depleting ozone layer we need to be protecting our skins with an SPF  – ITS NEVER TOO LATE!
Your applications should be regular throughout your day and remember that you REALLY want to be using a sun reflectant with micronized titanium and micronized zinc as your ingredients of choice – Don’t let the numbers of SPF confuse you … the higher you go in SPF number is NOT necessarily better, easier OR safer, it usually means they have had to add in LOTS of chemicals to make it such a HIGH SPF number-   all the number behind SPF means is the amount of time you can SAFELY be protected for and then it is imperative to reapply, usually every 2 – 3 hours is the norm. Our products of choice have each been researched for their cutting edge technology and ability to protect your skin without clogging your pores.
At Cove Spa, we recommend the following based on your skin type:
 PEVONIA Hydrating Sunscreen SPF 30 $ 82.00 
Skinstitut Perfect Protection SPF 15 $ 45.00 
USPA Organic Sun Defence SPF 20 $42.95
A Cove Pedicure to get your heels smooth and toe nails sparkling is highly recommended. Choose a 1hr Spa Pedicure with deep exfoliation and relaxing foot massage $100 or for the time poor, a ½ hr Mini Pedicure will do the job $60.
Try an Eyelash Perm and Tint for luscious lashes just $75. 
Now that we have got you prepped and ready to strut your stuff for Melbourne Cup Day ……. Please remember to book in early for all your preening sessions for your End of Year Functions, Christmas Lunches and hopefully that last minute much needed pampering before you get wrapped up in the frenzy of sorting out Santa’s lists to get to the north pole on time !!!!

Take Care
Warmest wishes
We look forward to welcoming you in spa soon
