Stay Cool This Summer at a Redlands Wellness Spa

Masks can help your skin during the summertime heat.

The summer heat can take a toll on your skin, but there are a few ways to get rejuvenated.

“We are of minerals, and our skin has the same components as clay,” said Laura Bischoff, owner of in Redlands. “That brings up an interesting point; if you can sculpt clay, why not skin, and using a diamond tool for that matter.”

Bischoff offers a Diamond Peel treatment at her spa that uses actual diamonds for micro planing. It improves and eliminates acne scarring, sun damage, deep wrinkles and fine lines.

The derma file that Bischoff uses utilizes diamonds, “the hardest, sharpest substance known to man,” she said. “It makes perfect sense, and is quite impressive in its approach to slough off the dead build-up of cellular debris while encouraging the skin to regenerate a significantly firmer, smoother, lit-from-within skin. They will see results in one visit.”

Bischoff offers several other customized facials, in addition to waxing and body wraps and treatments. She wants to remind those who spend time in the sun to always use sunscreen; in her spa shop, she sells Epicuren sun protection.

“Always slather it on before you go outside,” she said.

Feet can also take a beating during the summer, from wearing sandals and other types of footwear. Holly Mercadante at in Redlands has a remedy: the Repechage Sea Spa Foot Facial.

The special treatment includes a foot mask, callous remover, and more for $50, a savings of $15.

“Our goal is to encourage relaxation and renewal for the mind, body and spirit,” Mercadante said.

According to Mercadante, there’s no better way to spent the summer than taking care of yourself.

Everyone needs to take time for themselves - it's important, especially now,” she said.
