Milkweed Facial at Andrea DeSimone Spa

Organic-focused esthetician Andrea DeSimone offers a facial with milkweed oil, which is the same substance caterpillars feast on during their metamorphosis stage. The formula has healing, hydrating, hypo-allergenic, and antioxidant properties. The facial begins with a double cleanse using milkweed oil and a milky-based cleanser to dissolve dirt. Then, DeSimone applies a customized mask comprised of enzyme-packed Greek yogurt mixed with skin-tightening clay. It is removed using crushed flax seed, and Milkseed oil is pressed onto the skin again to make your epidermis pliable for extractions. After your zits are popped, she wipes the area with a homeopathic toner to disinfect. Any redness is taken away with the use of rolling cold glass balls on the skin.
