SkinTherapist: Getting that Glow on your Skin
Sometimes when life seems all about deadlines, full calendars, and endless to-do-lists it might feel overwhelming and all you’re longing for is some me-time. This is the perfect moment to book a facial! In my twenties, I didn’t grant myself this luxury, but since my first treatment, I was convinced it’s worth the money and time and astonishingly helpful to regain the balance of the skin.
SkinTherapist Zurich is a place I can highly recommend because trust is important for me when it comes to my skin and the owner Cornelia Fäh has totally gained mine. Her treatments put the individual needs of her clients first and she works only with selected, high-quality products. The wonderful ambience of her salon, which is located just a short walk from Sihlcity, does the rest. Cornelia offers facials, massages, manicures, pedicures, makeup, permanent makeup and a wide variety of holistic and medical skin treatments, such as the fire & ice facial (you might have encountered this in magazines since stars like Gwyneth Paltrow or Halle Berry swear on it).
When I visited Cornelia, she recommended me the St Barth Pureness face and décolleté treatment including a hand massage after asking a lot of questions about my health, nutrition, and habits. It’s an intensive, cleansing and relaxing treatment which takes 90 minutes to purify the skin. St. Barth is a luxury line that has been creating products that unite outstanding results with unbeatable quality for over 30 years. They create their products in their family business on the island Saint Barthélemy using natural ingredients with Carribean floral overtones to create a sensual harmony.
The treatment felt like one of the best things I ever experienced and Cornelia is a very kind and calm person. Generally, I find it very hard to relax and just close my eyes, but in Cornelia’s hands, I felt so well it happened easily. One of the strongest memories is the beautiful smell of the products and how radiant my skin looked afterwards. I was not surprised to hear that Cornelia has clients who return to her salon for years and hope I’ll be back too! Some St. Barth products moved into my shelf as well (Cornelia’s secret advice to calm my skin that tends to redness: The Aloe Vera gel with mint. I would have never tried this since it’s labelled as an aftershave, but I’ve been using it on my face for a while now and it’s a little miracle) and I now use them on a daily base, to keep that glowing skin as long as possible.
