Aveda - The power of Tourmaline for Radiant Skin

Aveda is known for their natural flower and plant-based beauty products;the companies' vision to connect beauty, environment and well-being is at the center of their product line. The science of pure flower and plant essences bring change to the skin with enhancements that are visibly seen.

Aveda’s Toumaline, a mineral, introduces nurturing to the skin. The inspiration for the Tourmaline skincare collection comes from Ayurvedic medicine, which believes gemstones have rejuvenating properties. This ingredient elicits a natural alternative to aggressive skin treatments. A radiant complexion can be obtained without any associated side effects. In just one hour, skin can be visibly refined, balanced and infused. Aveda’s plant-based skincare products seek to protect the integrity of the skin for long term effects.

For example, the product -Elemental Nature Facial for Radiant Skin- primarily differs from more aggressive skin treatments. The spa type of treatment nourishes the skin. The approach is to have a complexion that achieves radiance - at any age - by simply bringing skin back into balance. At the root of Aveda’s philosophy is the belief that when elements of good health are in balance, the skin reflects health, vitality and radiance. Imbalances are often caused by stress, fatigue, diet, health or environmental conditions which can powerfully effect body, mind and senses resulting in dry, flaky, dull skin.

The Elemental Nature Facial for Radiant Skin restores balance holistically. For personalized self-care rituals, an Aveda therapist (at your local Aveda location) offer to analyze an individual’s skin and lifestyle to find out which elements show the most imbalance; once that’s determined, then a tailored, personalized skin care plan, as well as a recommended facial, will lead to immediate radiant results.

In clinical tests, Aveda’s Elemental Nature Facial for Radiant Skin was found to enhance skin’s natural renewal process, revealing visible results instantly. Up to 24% improvement in overall radiance was experienced, and up to 39% improvement in clarity, up to 28% improvement in smoothness, and up to 29% reduction in the appearance of pores. All of this is accomplished without the side effects that can be caused by more aggressive treatments

Because of the increased toxics in the air, one of the most important functions of the skin is barrier protection. Tourmaline is the gemstone healer that naturally energizes. Their collection of professional skincare products include:
