2007 Seminars
“Your skin eats too!!”
Chocolate spa treatments are the latest trend. Chocolate is not only trendy,
but also beneficial for your skin. It contains strong anti-oxidant properties,
which can help to maintain the skin's general health and it can help to prevent
visible signs of ageing such as wrinkling.
Deanne Anderson, owner of Waterstone Spa and Sandra Lundeen, Waterstone's lead
esthetician, will be presenting a brief talk on why anti-oxidants are good for
the skin and you, as participants, will get to experience various chocolate
skin care products.
