Skincare and wellness brand Naturopathica is celebrating its 30th anniversary season with the launch of a new treatment called the Caffeine and Peptide Gua Sha facial, using products from its new Caffeine and Peptide collection.
The facial features a gentle lymphatic massage using the brand’s new signature stainless steel gua sha, which was designed to be cooling in order to reduce puffiness.
The new products used in the treatment include a Caffeine and Peptide Hydrating Face and Neck Serum, as well as a Caffeine and Peptide Smoothing Eye Serum. Alongside four molecular weights of hydrating hyaluronic acid, the products contain a botanical blend of ingredients such as caffeine and peptides to boost collagen production and firm the skin. Pear and fig fruit enzymes also feature in the blend, as well as manuka honey for smoothing and hydration.
The one-hour treatment is available at all Naturopathica Spa locations and costs US$250 (€217, £186).
Cathy O’Brien, CEO, Naturopathica explains, “Like your morning cup of coffee and a tall glass of water combined, our Caffeine and Peptide Collection was created to awaken the skin with ingredients that are clinically proven to firm, smooth and hydrate.”
