Local Gem Arcona: Skin Care that Works

Guest Post by Tracy Hepler of Yourdailythread.com

The Arcona Skin Care Company has been around long before Al Gore helped green get into the mainstream. In fact, the company has been providing everyone from Hollywood starlets to plebeians (every day people like us) with active treatments that are a safe, natural alternative to chemical-laden skin care for 20 years.

Arcona’s effectiveness comes from the way it processes its ingredients (enzymes, antioxidants and amino acids). Many a skin care line employs heat processing-heating up ingredients, causing them to lose their nutritional value (Arcona compares it to overcooking veggies). Arcona, on the other hand, uses cold processing to ensure that every ingredient remains alive and potent.

In addition, the line is free of parabens, chemical stabilizers, sodium lauryl sulphates, fragrance and petrochemicals.

Arcona even has its own L.A. chic beauty studio and day spa in Santa Monica. There you can find the complete line and sample one of its custom services. Each treatment uses ingredients that are specifically tailored for you skin type and the specialists there keep a record of what was used on you to guarantee that you get a personalized treatment with each visit.

basic-fiveI had an opportunity to go to the spa and test the Arcona Organic Enzyme Peel. Arcona facialist Debbie Moss gave me a relaxing, therapeutic treatment and used an aromatic pineapple enzyme mask to cleanse, an LED light therapy treatment to strengthen, and a soothing chamomile balm to replenish my skin. I left Arcona glowing and continued to feel radiant for days. I was also introduced to Reozone SPF 40 tinted sunscreen, which is perfect for the coming summer months (it works perfectly under make up too).

Arcona has an extensive line for women, men, hair, body and kids too. For more information on these lines visit their website.
