A diet of organic fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices isn’t only necessary for a healthy body, it’s also considered an excellent diet for the skin. A refined and sensual blend of fruits and herbal extracts can restore a natural balance. When the largest organ of the body, the skin, meets bits of parsley and cucumber layered under an herbal paprika treatment, the encounter draws blood to the surface and speeds up the circulation. This helps skin to breathe and increases its absorption of oxygen. Such a natural process brightens, clarifies, and evens the skin tone.

At Purely You Spa, in Naples, paprika is more than a pretty red spice; it is a great source of vitamin C, even more than most citrus fruits. Paprika protects the skin by packing an age-defying antioxidant punch that fights the effects of free radicals. It also restricts the production of the pigment melanin, which makes the skin brighter and lightens age spots. Improving skin health and reducing systemic inflammation are important for a radiant face. 

Fresh pulp from the stone crop cactus plant finishes off the oxygen facial, increasing the skin’s capacity to attract water. A succulent plant native to Hungary, stone crop is super-hardy, growing in several other climates outside Hungary while maintaining critical moisture. Aside from helping to reduce hyper-pigmentation and lighten the complexion, the versatile plant also assists in firming stressed skin, toning the epidermis and moisturizing to reduce early signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles and crow's feet, as well as dark or age spots.

Just as stimulating the body’s circulation is a benefit of exercise, increasing the circulation in the face has the same effect. Considered an immune-enhancing treatment, the skin gets a great workout that encourages cell turnover so young cells can rise to the surface. 

This facial includes an LED light therapy treatment. Options are 50 minutes or 70 minutes.
