When I heard of the Anti-Aging Facial<\/a> being offered at Burke Williams<\/a>, my first reaction was that I did not need it since I’m still fairly young and have pretty healthy skin. What a naive way of thinking. It made perfect sense when the esthetician performing the facial (Brenna) stated that “it’s much easier to prevent wrinkles then to treat them.” Duh! How could I not have realized that?!<\/p>\n No matter what age you are, this treatment is fantastic! It goes above and beyond a standard facial with a thorough cleaning, exfoliation, two different masks with active enzymes and natural ingredients, extractions, and high-quality moisturizers. Brenna basically walked me through each step and made sure I was fully involved the whole time. Some of the enzymes ‘tingled’ but if it became went beyond my comfort level she quickly remedied it.<\/p>\n While waiting for the masks to ‘do their thing’ I was treated to a fantastic neck and shoulder massage. I don’t mean a little pat on the back but a full-on massage! Little did I know but Burke Williams gives each\u00a0esthetician\u00a0special massage training. That felt so good and it was just the place I needed it most!<\/p>\n I could feel and see the difference immediately. My pores were cleaned out completely and, over the next few days, I only had a one or two individual pimples develop. This was particularly notable since I was dealing with a lot of stress about my upcoming press trip and my monthly was coming up soon. Those two factors alone would usually have me reliving my teenage days of acne breakouts.<\/p>\n Not only was my skin feeling totally clean and refreshed, I also got some great tips on daily care. Based on my skin type, she pointed out which type of products would be most effective. I appreciated that she did not push me to buy the particular brands the spa carried and even mentioned other good product lines.<\/p>\n
