A Hidden Treasure &#8211; Experience the Best Kept Secret in Spring at Evia Spa<br />
<i>ReviewIt Magazine &#8211; July 2012</i></p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Evia Spa is proud to offer a full-service luxury spa and salon experience in a uniquely friendly environment. Enjoy a serene and relaxing pedicure in the private two-chair nail salon, perfect for a mother-daughter day out, unwind with a private or couples massage, or get your girls together for a fun spa day. All the while, Evia’s friendly and down-to-earth staff will be on hand to ensure you have the best experience possible.</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With a full complement of luxury spa services on the menu, from PCA Chemical Peels to hot stone massage to full body waxing to a full-service salon, Evia is the perfect place to take a break from your busy life. With so many services offered under one roof, Evia strives to pamper all of your parts from head to toe.</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The top-notch service offered at Evia doesn’t supersede the need for friendly service. In fact, the Evia staff prides themselves on their ability to offer luxury spa service and quality without the oft-expected hauteur that comes along with it. Every staff member is handpicked not only for their outstanding skills, but also for their friendly personality and their ability to make each and every guest feel comfortable and confident.</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;“People expect a certain level of service and it shouldn’t come at the cost of a friendly, welcoming environment,” says spa owner Chas Schultz, “I think many places have forgotten that going to a spa or hair salon should be fun.  We want our clients walking away not only looking fabulous, but also talking about how great a time they had.  Nothing makes me smile more than to have a client go out of their way to tell me how friendly and inviting we are and that this is their new favorite spot.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With a large facility and outstanding quality of service, Evia Spa is the perfect location for your next outing. Invite your girlfriends along to enjoy a pedicure, a facial or even shop for the latest Miss Me fashions. Whether you’re looking to host a bridal party or that one-of-a-kind girls night out, Evia is ready to provide you and your guests with a truly unique experience from start to finish.</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Evia’s owner Chas strives for perfection in all things and each member of the Evia team is happy to follow suit. “I know it’s very hard to be perfect all the time, but that is our goal here, because the alternative is not acceptable,” he shares.</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At Evia, perfection comes down to communication and skill. Creating an environment that puts clients at ease instantly creates an open line of communication between employees and guests. This comfortable and welcoming attitude allows clients to communicate their needs effectively and honestly. Knowing exactly what a client expects is the first step toward perfect results.</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;“I have worked in a number of different environments and nothing compares to Evia,” shares Russell Jones, Master Stylist and Salon Educator at Evia Spa, “Our guests love coming here because our stylists are in a class of their own.  We have people travel hours to see us because they know what we provide is truly exceptional.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Evia lives up to client expectations by offering services provided by confident and skilled employees. “Our employees are the absolute best in the area.  Our stylists are confident and skilled enough to step back, and really listen to your expectations and feedback. There is a reason our return rate is over 90%, we don’t just cut hair, we are building long-term relationships.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Russell warns though, “There’s definitely a certain level of responsibility that comes with getting your hair done at Evia Spa. Be prepared to be stopped in random places and asked who does your hair or be ready for a lot more attention.  I don’t know if it is more the extra confidence our guests have walking around or the actual hair, but it is pretty much a daily occurrence that we hear another great story.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you’re still drifting from spa to spa looking for the perfect experience, your search is over. Evia is eager to see each and every guest arrive feeling comfortable and leave feeling confident.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;<br />
Don’t Bow Down to Your Blow-dryer<br />
<i>Klatch Magazine &#8211; April 2012</i><br />
By: Lauren Barlowe</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That’s Russell Jones’ philosophy, anyway, and it can be yours too after one session with the Master Stylist and Salon Educator at Evia Spa, who believes hair should be easy, natural and entirely wash-and-wear.</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The uber-talented stylist graduated from Aveda Institute in the Woodlands and has been wowing clients ever since in a number of different capacities, including being the official hair stylist for the Houston Dynamo cheerleaders, numerous fashion and tv shows.  </p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So how did Evia Spa land such a talent?  “This was a once in a lifetime opportunity,” Russell reveals, “We have built an extraordinary team of talent that give our clients a truly unique experience that can’t be found anywhere else in the area.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He also served as an educator at Redken for a couple of years.  “I have always enjoyed teaching and learning,” says Russell, “Hair styles are constantly changing and staying on the cutting edge is paramount.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Through the years, Russell has developed his own special style he likes to call wash-and-wear cuts, which are designed to giving his clients cuts they can style themselves. And everyone who’s ever had a daily struggle with the blow-dryer or straightening iron knows that’s the ultimate test of any haircut.</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;“My main thing,” Russell says, “Is quality over quantity. If a haircut takes an hour, or an hour and fifteen minutes, I’m going to put that time in. I’m all about molding hair so that the client can achieve great style at home.  I take great care in educating my clients about how to get a salon-look themselves each morning.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When asked his specialty, Russell insists that he likes doing everything, from color to cuts to styling. “I love having the chance to create something special with someone’s hair, rather than doing the same thing every other stylist on the block is doing. When a client sits in my chair, I am not just cutting hair, I am creating a work of art.  I definitely think outside the box.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So give your blow-dryers a break and come into Evia Spa and be Russell’s next canvas.</p>

An Invitation to Luxuriate<br />
<i>Klatch Magazine &#8211; February 2012</i><br />
By: Lauren Barlowe</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You may prefer some of your appointments to be over quickly—the dentist, for example, or a meeting with an IRS agent—but the spa?  It’s the tranquil getaway you look forward to all day.  Unfortunately, so many spas want to get you in and out, and onto the next client as soon as possible.  Not so at Evia Spa, the luxurious oasis in Spring, Texas!<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8221;I think many places have forgotten that going to a spa or hair salon should be fun.  We want our clients to not only walk away looking fabulous, but also to walk away knowing they had a great time and experienced something truly unique,&#8221; says Evia’s owner, Chas Schultz.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When was the last time you had your hair color processed while enjoying a drink at a beautiful bar?  At Evia, they feature top-of-the-line color processors that are silent and process your color much better than a traditional dryer and best of all, they are conveniently positioned right at a full scale bar.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8221;At most salons, they put you off in the corner to read a magazine from 3 years ago while having your head under a jet engine,&#8221; Chas says, &#8220;At Evia, we feel our clients should look forward to their time processing with a luxurious seat at our Color Bar with their favorite cocktail and pleasant conversation with their girlfriends.&#8221;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There is good reason Evia’s clients travel from as far away as the Galleria, Cypress and even from out of state.  “Our employees are the absolute best in the area,” Chas adds, “Sometimes, I have to take a double take because the transformation is so unbelievable.  Our clients often walk out looking like they should be on the red carpet in Hollywood.”<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Whether you come in for a new look, a relaxing massage, a mani/pedi, a full day of beauty, or a fun getaway with your girlfriends, you are sure to enjoy every minute of your stay at Evia Spa.  There may be a lot of spas in the area to choose from, but as Chas flatly states, “There is only one Disney for adults in the area and that is through the doors of Evia Spa.”<br />
&nbsp;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Have you ever wished that you could lose inches, dramatically decrease the appearance of fat deposits and cellulite, and decrease the appearance of those stubborn stretch marks all by just lying around for an hour or so? It sounds too good to be true doesn’t it? Well, I would like to introduce you to Bioslimming.<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Bioslimming is a slimming program from south France. In clinical trials, this program has shown to dramatically reduce the appearance of stubborn fat deposits and cellulite by 67% from less than one month’s worth of treatments!  In my years as an esthetician, I have used a number of different wraps on my clients and this is the only one that I found to consistently work.  Not only do you get the great benefits of reducing the appearance of cellulite, the wraps also:<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#8211;  Enhances weight loss</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#8211;  Dramatically reduces &#8220;Orange Peel&#8221; skin</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#8211;  Slims, firms, and tones</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#8211;  Eliminates toxins</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#8211;  Stimulates the lymphatic system</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#8211;  Helps burn fat by thermo-regulation</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#8211;  Induces Lipolysis and fat burning in layer below the skin’s surface</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#8211;  Improves appearance of varicose veins and stretch marks</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#8211;  Prevents spider veins and capillary redness</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#8211;  Improves circulation and metabolism of fat cells</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#8211;  Increases consumption of calories</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#8211;  Fights inflammation</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#8211;  Average loss of 1-4cm in each area on first application</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The treatment consists of 3 gels and 1 cream which are applied in a two step process. Stage one of the service consists of applying the Detox Base, Active Slim Gel, and the Active Slim Cream. The Detox Base is used particularly for slimming, detoxifying and increasing the circulation of your skin. The Active Slim Gel helps dramatically reduce cellulite and fat deposits. It has slimming effects and acts on skin’s firmness. The Active Slim Cream offers a dramatic reduction of fat and cellulite from the thighs, buttocks, stomach, waist and arms. It also enhances weight loss, improves the appearance of varicose veins and stretch marks. As each layer is massaged into the skin, you will start to feel your body melting into the table. Next, a plastic film is wrapped around each of your problem areas. After the film is applied you relax comfortably for 40 minutes. During stage two, the film is removed and the 4th product is massaged into the skin, the Ultra Slim Effect. The Ultra Slim Effect is a cold tonic gel that is an excellent slimming and anti cellulite treatment. You then relax for 20 more minutes. And that’s it! So I am sure you are wondering what’s in this miracle product, right? Here is the breakdown:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In clinical trials, 98% of women saw dramatic improvements of “orange peel” skin with a reduction of cellulite in just two weeks. 100% of women observed a decrease of 1-4cm around their waist after one treatment. The recommended treatment plan is 8-10 treatments over the span of 4 weeks, then maintain the results once a month. Bioslimming is a strong formula that provides fast results and, in my opinion, is the best slimming wrap on the market!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Getting rid of unwanted hair has been the goal for women all around the world since the 90’s. It seems like every time I turn around there is a new hair removal process that claims to be better than the previous, whether it’s waxing, sugaring, threading, laser, or even tweezing. You would think by now, a service would be available that didn’t pull the skin like waxing, take as long a sugaring, hurt as bad as threading, cost as much as laser, or be as dreadful as tweezing. That’s where NuFree comes in!<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I am very excited to share the benefits of this great system.  My clients have been raving about this new way of waxing and cannot believe how much of a difference it makes!<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NuFree isn’t a wax, sugar, thread, laser, or tweezer! It’s a soy based hair removal system that is safe, effective, less painful (which means less redness), and antibacterial! What else could you want from a hair removal experience?<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NuFree works the same way as wax. It is applied with a wooden stick in the direction of the hair growth and is removed with a strip in the opposite direction. The difference is NuFree doesn’t stick to the skin like waxing! Since it does not stick to the skin, you can use it safely essentially anywhere on the body.  It is the perfect solution for all your waxing needs, especially for more painful situations such as lip, bikini and brazilian waxings.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NuFree also removes the entire bulb and the hair shaft, which is something wax doesn’t always do. Wax is known to sometimes break the hair off at the surface, which will cause that stubble to grow in, something that no one wants!<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Also, as a licensed esthetician, my clients skin health is of utmost importance.  Many people do not know that there is a chance of getting a fungus on their skin from getting waxed with unclean wax. This will never happen with NuFree because it is both antibacterial and antimicrobial, so it is always safe, clean and germ free!<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;After removing hair with NuFree, we always apply Finipil. Finipil is a patented product from NuFree that instantly cools and soothes the skin, slows the development of new hair growth, reduces swelling, and provides further antibacterial action. You can actually take Finipil home and use it to soothe burns and prevent scarring, as a germ killing lotion that won’t dry out your hands, to heal and soothe damaged cuticles, and it is great for chapped lips and cold sores!<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With hair removal, I do not think it will ever be completely pain free.  But NuFree goes a long way to freeing my clients from many painful aspects of traditional waxing and I have never seen my clients so excited about what the difference means for their hair removal!&nbsp;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you would have Googled the words “Gluten Free” 10 years ago, you wouldn’t have found much information. Google it today and you will find over 52 Million web pages with information about gluten sensitivity and intolerance.  Needless to say, going gluten free or organic is all the rage now!<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Most people think of gluten as something you need to worry about in foods.  However, the skin is like a sponge, absorbing whatever it comes in contact with, including gluten.  Gluten intolerance often results in common symptoms such as skin rash and blisters, many of which could be resulting from the skin care products that the individual is using.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At Evia Spa, we know how important it can be for our gluten free friends to provide a skin care line of products that will protect them from unnecessary exposure to gluten.  One of our favorite all natural skin care lines is from Farmhouse Fresh Goods. Their products are 88-99.6% natural and 100% paraben and sulfate free. In addition, a large number of their products are vegan and gluten free as well.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In our Gluten Free Facials, the two main products we use are the One Fine Day Shea Sugar Scrub and the Splendid Dirt Nutrient Mud Mask with Organic Pumpkin.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.eviaspa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/One-fine-day.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-477" src="http://www.eviaspa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/One-fine-day-218x300.jpg" alt="" width="218" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The One Fine Day Shea Sugar Scrub is 98.5% natural, gluten free, and is used as a dual cleanser and exfoliant. It boosts radiance, reduces redness and discoloration, won’t strip the skin of its natural oils, and is scented with pure grapefruit and citrus. It is also safe to use both morning and night.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.eviaspa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Splendid-pumpkin1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-479" src="http://www.eviaspa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Splendid-pumpkin1-300x163.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="163" /></a><br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Splendid Dirt Mud Mask is 99.6% natural, gluten free, and should be used at least once a week. It contains Illite and Bentonite clays, active yogurt cultures, and fresh enzyme rich organic pumpkin. This mask boosts radiance, deep cleans and shrinks the pores, improves the look of broken capillaries and uneven skin tone, and provides oxygenation and circulation to the skin.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We not only feature both of these products as options in our european facials, but we also provide them for sale for home skin care use.  For many individuals, the importance of gluten free skin products should not be overlooked.  The results of your next facial or skin care regime could be dramatically improved by taking this simple extra step!&nbsp;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Most clients like to change up their looks with the seasonal changes. There are several popular trends that are HOT this season!<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For redheads, intensity and shine is always popular, as is a natural copper or strawberry blonde shade all over.  If you are color shy, we offer demi-permanent color options which fade gradually as you wash your hair.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For brunettes, it is trendy to have a multi-tonal, or Ombré hair color, which is dark at the roots to lighter color on the ends. This look was first popularized in France in the 1970s. It is still fresh and ultra popular in Hollywood now with celebrities such as Drew Barrymore and Fergie. This look can be achieved by blending two or more hair colors down the same strand of hair which creates a beautiful dimensional look. It is also popular with clients as they do not have to come in as often for a retouch.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.eviaspa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/drew_barrymore_obmre.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-456 alignleft" title="drew_barrymore_obmre" src="http://www.eviaspa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/drew_barrymore_obmre-232x300.jpg" alt="" width="232" height="300" /></a><a href="http://www.eviaspa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/fergie_ombre.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-455 alignleft" title="fergie_ombre" src="http://www.eviaspa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/fergie_ombre-228x300.jpg" alt="Fergie With Ombré Hair Coloring" width="228" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For blondes, highlights are going more natural, with balayage, or paint on highlights as a prominent hair color option. An example of this technique can be seen on celebrities like Jennifer Aniston and Gisele Bundchen. Usually the roots are not colored to result in an easier regrowth and clients like it because they do not need to come in as often for a retouch. If you do decide to go lighter, it is important to keep your hair hydrated with a deep conditioner!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-440" src="http://www.eviaspa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/jennifer_balayage-193x300.jpg" alt="" width="193" height="300" /><a href="http://www.eviaspa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/gisele_balayage.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-439" src="http://www.eviaspa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/gisele_balayage-249x300.png" alt="" width="249" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Another look for the color shy client that is very popular is a semi-permanent clear gloss which will not affect the natural color but adds extreme shine and lasts about 4 weeks on the hair.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Remember, if you are looking for a certain look or color, make sure to bring in a picture so your stylist can have a point of reference to help achieve your desired look!  In addition, make sure their color quality is designed for these types of styles.  At Evia Spa, we use Redken color, which is known for its vibrant reds, brilliant brunettes and multi-tonal blondes and is perfect for these types of hair styles.&nbsp;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Being a Skin Therapist, the most common question I get is, &#8220;Can you make these wrinkles go away?&#8221; This is usually followed by a laugh because most people believe it is not possible to reverse aging. This is where Vitamin C comes in!<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Everyone knows that Vitamin C boosts the body&#8217;s immune system and is a powerful anti-oxidant. But what does it do for our skin? Vitamin C, also known as L-Ascorbic acid, can benefit the skin in several ways and is an excellent ingredient for ALL skin types.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The most important effect, I believe, is its ability to slow free radical damage. Free radicals are unstable molecules that cause skin dryness, fine lines, wrinkles, and collagen damage. Collagen is what adds that plumpness to our skin, which is what everyone wants! The only way our body can produce collagen is through the use of Vitamin C and protein, and because the skin is the last organ in our body to recieve nutrients, all that vitamin C you are eating/drinking is probably not even making its way to your skin! Also, because our bodies can not create Vitamin C on its own, nor can it store the Vitamin, we must consistantly use Vitamin C on the skin to witness its benefits. Vitamin C also is known to lighten discoloration on the skin from solar damage and acne scarring, reverse DNA damage in the skin, and shrink the appearance of the pores. It also gives the skin that healthy glow that we all want!<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So, how do you know what brand of Vitamin C serum to buy or what to look for? Studys show that the range of efficacy for Vitamin C is .3% to 10%, so anything within that range or higher will be okay. It is also important that the Vitamin C is in an air/light-tight container. If the vitamin is exposed to air, it will become oxidized and non effective within hours. It is also light sensitive, so it needs to be in a container that will block light out. Many companies sell cheaper versions of Vitamin C without the research to back it up, or the container to make it last.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Here at Evia Spa, we carry the PCA product line, which is THE BEST line I have used in the past 6 years of being in this industry. My favorite product in this line is&#8230; the C-QUENCH serum! It is a blend of <strong>15%</strong> Vitamin C (well above the reccomended amount) and Hyaluronic Acid (which I will talk about in a later blog!). It is dispensed with a pump, which keeps it from oxidizing until seconds before it touches the skin, and is in a frosted brown glass bottle to keep light out. It retails for $74 and should last you about 4 months. Stay tuned for my future blogs and let me know if there is a certain topic you would like to read about! Thanks!</p>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As part of Teacher Appreciation Day at Northgate Crossing Elementary in Spring, TX, Evia Spa donated over $4,000 in gift cards to every teacher and staff member to enjoy for any services at our spa.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Everyone of us at Evia Spa have been fortunate to have had special teachers in our childhood that helped to shape our future. We may not have known at the time how lucky we were (I apologize Mrs. Hairston!), but looking back now, we know how much that little extra time they gave meant to us and our futures.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We had a great time meeting all the many teachers that came in during the month of November, especially the fun stories! Without a doubt, our specialized spa pedicure and manicures seemed to be preferred choice and we were very pleased to see all the smiling, refreshed faces leaving our spa!<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We know the little ones now might not realize it, but they are blessed with some wonderful teachers and their lives will be better for it. From all of us at Evia Spa, we tip our hats to all teachers and we thank you for your tireless efforts everyday.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
