Eminence Organic Skin Care is known for professional treatments that get real results. To make those results last, you also need effective at-home products. Some retail items pair especially well with spa treatments, and others are great little surprises. Below are our top suggestions for combining professional treatments with home care to extend the benefits of facials and body treatments.
Long-Lasting Facials
Professional facials boost progress and help clients reach skin goals faster. A consistent at-home routine is essential to maintain those gains — especially if spa visits are infrequent.
Since the fresh, glowing look from a facial usually lasts about 30 days, a steady home routine keeps the skin improving instead of slipping back. Other easy tips to support professional treatments:
– Drink more water: A facial is like a workout for the skin. Staying hydrated before and after the treatment helps the complexion look healthy, particularly if steam or heat is used.
– Wear SPF: Sunscreen is important every day, and even more so after a facial. The skin can be extra sensitive, especially after chemical peels or strong active ingredients.
– Avoid exfoliating right away: Professional exfoliation is usually stronger than at-home methods. Don’t exfoliate for two days before and after a facial to keep skin healthy.
– Use gentle products: Skip strong masks, cleansers, and active treatments the day before and after a facial. Choose gentle formulas to keep the skin balanced.
Product Pairings by Skin Type
Here are single professional products that work well for each skin type, plus retail favorites to use at home.
Sensitive Skin
At the spa: Mangosteen Lactic Pro Peel 10% — a self-neutralizing, non-irritating peel that leaves skin soft and smooth.
At home: Calm Skin Collection — Chamomile Cleanser, Chamomile Exfoliating Peel, and Chamomile Moisturizer. These soothe redness and dryness while keeping skin calm. The Chamomile Exfoliating Peel continues gentle cell turnover to prolong the smooth feeling from the pro peel.
Dry Skin
At the spa: AHA Fruit Pulp Treatment (contains lactic acid) gently exfoliates while hydrating with BioComplex.
At home: Citrus & Kale Potent C+E Serum and Marine Flower Peptide Night Cream deliver deep hydration for a smoother look. Use the Strawberry Rhubarb Masque once or twice a week for firmer, radiant skin.
Normal Skin
At the spa: Mangosteen Lactic Pro Peel 10% for a bright glow and minimized pores.
At home: Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Cleanser and Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Concentrate keep the lactic acid benefits going between professional visits.
Combination or Oily Skin
At the spa: Menthol Rosehip Treatment tones the skin and balances oil with honey and cooling menthol.
If extractions are needed, your esthetician may use Charcoal & Black Seed Pro Desincrustation Gel to soften and prepare the skin. Desincrustation softens and emulsifies sebum and keratin in the follicle to help clear pores.
At home: Stone Crop Whip Moisturizer and Facial Recovery Oil help keep skin balanced and healthy. The Facial Recovery Oil is lightweight and contains clary sage, which helps regulate oil production.
Product Picks
– Charcoal & Black Seed Pro Desincrustation Gel — helps with extractions
– Coconut Firming Body Lotion — body lotion for all skin types
Recommendations for Specific Concerns
Below are product combos for common skin concerns.
Breakout-Prone Skin
At the spa: Pro Salicylic Acid Peel 15% — a focused peel with encapsulated salicylic acid to help unclog pores and renew skin.
At home: Acne Advanced Treatment System (Acne Advanced Cleansing Foam, Clarifying Masque, Clarifying Hydrator) for daily care. Add Clear Skin Willow Bark Exfoliating Peel once or twice a week to reduce pore size and smooth texture.
Uneven Skin Tone
At the spa: Yam and Pumpkin Pro Enzyme Peel 20% — a potent mix of pineapple, papaya, yam, and pumpkin to help reduce dark spots.
At home: Bright Skin Licorice Root Exfoliating Peel, Bamboo Firming Fluid, and Bright Skin Overnight Correcting Cream. Together they help even tone, firm, and smooth skin between professional peels.
Signs of Aging
At the spa: Arctic Berry Pro Advanced Peel deeply exfoliates, leaving skin smooth and plump.
At home: Use Firm Skin Acai Cleanser and Arctic Berry Peptide Radiance Cream daily. Weekly, use the Arctic Berry Peel & Peptide Illuminating System followed by Firm Skin Acai Masque to moisturize and improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
Body Treatments
Don’t forget the body. At home, try Coconut Sugar Scrub and Coconut Firming Body Lotion. The scrub offers natural exfoliation, and when paired with the lotion, it leaves skin feeling soft, firmer, and well cared for.
