Facials aren’t just for your face anymore. They’re great for pretty much any body part for the same reasons they are for our complexion: to target dull skin, dry spots, dehydration, and any other annoying problems. Just in time for TIFF, we tested a few out and are reporting back on the best treatments for […]

If finding the perfect skin care routine is on your 2014 to-do list, listen up! Dermalogica has just announced a new program that will get your skin in fine form and reward you for going to the spa more frequently.

Open to residents in Vancouver and Toronto, the Little Grey Pass works somewhat like an actual passport. Every time you visit one of Dermalogica’s certified skin centres for a 60-minute skin treatment, you get a stamp. Once you’ve visited four different spas, you can redeem your pass for a bottle of Dermalogica’s PreCleanse, a cult favourite of the brand. If you make it to six different spas, you’ll also get a travel-sized Daily Microfoliant. Being rewarded for pampering your skin—what more could a beauty buff ask for?

For those of us with sensitive, reactive or downright finicky skin, winter can be especially challenging. Concerns such as eczema, dry skin and rosacea become even more apparent when dry air and harsh winds hit. While it’s tempting to hide your skin away until warmer weather returns, it’s actually an ideal time to seek out the services of a skincare professional.

That’s right: A little bit of pampering is just what sensitive skin needs during winter months. Spas and skincare lines alike offer a range of treatments that calm irritated skin and offer a well-deserved, relaxing experience. To help you find your next go-to facial, we’ve rounded up four notable treatments that are available across Canada.

Every week we take on your questions about makeup, skincare, hair and more and provide all the answers. This week we’re taking on questions about concealer, at-home facials and overnight skin treatments. While these may seem like very different concerns, the goal is all the same: How can you brighten your complexion? From multi-colour concealer palettes to a skincare regimen that will boost and brighten, read on for the full fix. Have a question we haven’t answered? Email us at beautyfix@fashionmagazine.com.

This year marks the centennial for the Calgary Stampede, and after last year’s Royal visit, you can be sure this southern Alberta city will see a record number of tourists passing through Cowtown—or the New West, rather, from July 6 to 15. Apart from the nightly parties taking place at a majority of restaurants, bars […]

A trip to the spa is always supposed to be relaxing (yes, there are even moments of zen during the most uncomfortable waxes!), but sometimes your pre-treatment peace of mind can get a little bogged down. From uncertainty about which services to choose to questions about spa etiquette, we’ve all been there—which is why Beauty Fix is tackling all your spa service queries this week.

The skin on my face has been looking rather “blah” lately—what can I do to brighten things up?
Nothing like the tail end of winter to really make us feel—and see!—what months of grey skies and flip-flopping weather does to our skin. Instead of having a dewy glow from an afternoon of bicycling through the city, indoor hibernation makes us prone to getting pillow-marked cheeks.

The holistic Gold Leaf Luxurious Treatment facial ($270) at Montreal’s Dr. Hauschka Spa (1444 Sherbrooke St. W., 514-286-1444, spadrhauschka.com) is a blissful two-hour escape. The 24-karat nutrients in the treatment’s Gold Cosmetica leaves (sourced from Germany) are now available for home use. Prices are determined according to market value; currently, a package of 12 is $75.

I treat myself to facials a few times a year, but sometimes I can’t resist the urge to pick at problem spots on my own. Could I be damaging my skin by doing my own extractions? Going to a spa has as much to do with pampering as it does the maintenance of your skin. […]
