Truth: Skintervention at Spa Gregorie's

A woman’s skincare routine is just as personal and custom tailored as her closet of peep toe pumps and sky high stilettos. There are some things in life we simply refuse to share, and beauty products and designer heels are definitely top of my list. Price tag aside, no two women have the same skincare needs or fashion sense.

I am a lucky local in that I frequent San Diego spas on a bi-monthly basis for facials, massages, and seasonal body wraps. Before a moisturizing facial or rejuvenating peel, estheticians analyze your skin and cater the treatment to your exact needs. So, this makes me an expert on my own skin, by association, right?

Think about it: when you are cozy in a plush bathrobe and half-listening to the consultation while reading the latest issue of Vogue and sipping on your bottomless peach mimosa, how much are you really learning about your skin? I think I heard her say dry, so I guess I’ll pick up some extra moisturizer. That’s the eye cream she uses, so it’s probably the best for me, too. And then we wonder why the products we purchase never actually impact our skin’s condition. Let me ask you this: would you ever wear a stranger’s pair of heels in a hideous color, during the wrong season, two sizes two big, just because of the designer label? When it comes to our skin, it’s true what they say; you may think you know, but you have no idea.

It’s not that we don’t want to protect and pamper our skin, we just don’t have all the information we need. To help you make the most of your spa experience and at-home beauty regimen, Spa Gregorie’s in Del Mar now offers a new Skintervention and Skincredible Monthly Facial Club, starting this May.

Putting knowledge first, Spa Gregorie’s offers complimentary skin evaluations, AKA Skinterventions, that are conducted by trained estheticians who will reveal and address individual skin care concerns. But different from the standard spa consultation, the esthetician won’t just tell you, he or she will show you through the use of a high-tech skin scope and moisture probe application that are designed to identify the specific problem areas, including hidden sun damage, dehydration and more. Not only will your esthetician know what to focus on during your facial, but you will leave the spa with a map of your skin and a step-by-step guide to exactly what areas on your face need what kind of attention and why. I guarantee you’ll be surprised with the results, just as I was. Starting in May, Skintervention appointments are available the last week of the month.

Now that you know what to do, it’s time to put your knowledge to the test. Skincredible is a new personalized monthly membership program that is custom designed to soothe and repair in sync with the results of your Skintervention. For $99 per month, Skincredible membership services include one monthly professional grade facial, two complete homecare kits valued at $240, and 20% off all additional skincare purchases. Members will also receive discounts on super booster treatments for areas requiring special attention, including the NuFace lift, a glycolic peel, Arcona eye treatment, brow wax, bikini wax, microdermabrasion and more.
