A few simple additions to your mani/pedi routine will kick your experience up a notch!

ADD A SCRUB
A great foot scrub can work to exfoliate both hands and feet.  Sugar scrubs are great, especially if you have cracked hands and feet, but look for one loaded with essential oils.

ADD A MASK
Believe it or not, masks for your hands and feet actually DO exist! This will infuse the skin with moisture and ward off environmental stresses!

TRY OPI Manicure / Pedicure Cucumber Mask
Apply to hands, wrists, feet and ankles and then wrap with a warm, damp hand towel and leave on for ten minutes.  Rinse afterwards.

TRY A WAX
You may have heard of expensive paraffin wax treatments for hands and feet at the spa, but now you can even do this at home with a paraffin bath.  Dip each foot and hand into the wax 5-6 times, allowing a few seconds between each dip.  When the wax hardens, peel it off and moisturize.

After almost a week hiatus, Stetson Creative is back online, and this week we are looking at an interesting set of products that are perfect for your at-home beauty collection: BEAUTY FROM THE SEA.  The ocean provides many effective ingredients for some of the most luxurious skincare and beauty!

At the top of the list for oceanic skincare is one of my favorite brands, H2O PLUS!  This fabulous line utilizes marine botanicals (algae and seaweed) and sea minerals to help their products improve skin's vibrancy and health.  Below are a few of my favorites:

Sea Results 3-in-1 Foaming Cleanser
If you love a good foaming cleanser, you will LOVE this one!  Not only is it a makeup remover and a luxurious cleanser, but it tones as well.  Tri-peptides, amino acids, and the anti-aging marine blends firm the skin and refine the tone and texture.  I really like to pump this cleaner onto a cotton pad and rub into the skin with water to remove makeup, then use fingers to massage and gently cleanse and tone.

Sea Clear Refining Facial
This fabulous scrub contains the H2O Plus Signature 5 Essential Sea Mineral Blend (zinc, copper, iron, silicon, and magnesium) as well as marine plant cellulose for a gentle exfoliation and an oil-controlling seaweed blend.  Make sure to follow the directions and use on a dry face, and your skin will look polished and glowing!

Sea Results Deep Sleep Recovery Cream
Marine collagen and kudzu root from Japan provide powerful antioxidant power to rejuvenate, firm, and tone, and an anti-aging blend of seaweed extracts AND it's oil free.  TIP: A little goes a long way.  Warm the cream in your palms and then apply to the face, especially if you have concerns with oily or combination skin!
