I mentioned a few posts back that we recently celebrated my Mom’s birthday. As part of her gift, I took her to a spa day at the MGM Grand’s Immerse Spa in Detroit. I like this spa because they are one of the only spas that are open on Sundays which is usually a free day for me. I recently learned that the Immerse Spa switched all of their products to the Eminence Organic Skin Care line, which I am a huge fan of. I was excited to go there and learn about some of the new products I hadn’t tried yet. For those of you not familiar, Eminence is an all natural line of organic skin care products.
My mom and I both got 50 minute Immerse Classic facials which are described as:
A high-performance facial designed to address dehydration, acne, sun damage and fine lines. The skin is cleansed, steamed, exfoliated and extractions are performed if needed. There is also a massage of the neck, shoulders and face as well as hands. The treatment is finished off with a toner, eye cream and moisturizer.
My spa tech was great and they gave me a prescription card with all of the products I should be using:
Here are the recommendations I received:
Cleansers
Lemon Grass Cleanser ($38) – this is for all skins including sensitive. I currently use the Eucalyptus Cleansing Concentrate ($28.82) with is for combination to oily skins. I would definitely want to try this one since I have sensitive skin. When I went to my appointment I was had a few sensitive areas, so this makes sense.
Toniques
Stone Crop Hydrating Mist ($30.25) – This is hydrating & healing for normal to dry skins. I am currently using the Mimosa Champagne Tonique which is refreshing for normal to dry skins. You apply this after cleansing, after moisturizing.
Eye & Lip Care
Wild Plum Eye Cream ($47.29) – For dark circles, hydrating for all skins.
Masques
Stone Crop Masque ($29.99) – This is regenerating for all skins especially oily to mature skin, irritated skin types and uneven skin tones.
Firm Skin Acai Masque ($34.94) – This is for anti-aging.
Serums
Stone Crop Serum ($31.46) – for all skins, this is hydrating and is good for pigment lightening. You apply a thin layer of this after cleansing or after a masque or exfoliation. You apply moisturizer over this and you can reapply 2-3 times daily. I bought this and have been using it daily. It is good for skin blotches which I have been experiencing on my chin.
Moisturizers
Apricot Whip Moisturizer ($43.28) – This is for normal & combination skins and is a day cream.
Stone Crop Whip Moisturizer ($41.27) – This is for dry & dehydrated skins and is good for day or night. Alicia Silverstone is a fan of this moisturizer.
My technician also recommended the new Firm Skin Starter Kit for me. This comes with a one-month supply of products including:
- Firm Skin Acai Cleanser
- Firm Skin Acai Moisturizer
- Firm Skin Acai Masque
- Firm Skin Acai Booster-Serum
These kits just came out, so they didn’t have them in stock yet.
I also learned that Eminence products are meant to be mixed and layered, so you can have a lot of fun experimenting with them. Also, it is really important to buy from an authorized distributor. Since Eminence products use all natural ingredients they have a limited shelf life – when you buy them online you don’t always know what you are getting.
