Oleksandra Spa & Salon soothes sunburned skin with special products
Sunbathers, tourists and residents can rehydrate sun-exposed skin, reduce peeling and cool the heat of a sunburn with the Skin Quencher treatment at Treasure Island’s Oleksandra Spa & Salon, one of the few spas on the Las Vegas Strip to offer this specialized service.
The treatment begins with a body mist of lavender and sea algae extracts, followed by a cool recovery gel made with healing aloe and tea tree for the face and body. A rehydrating aloe lotion is applied to the entire body, sealing in nutrients and keeping skin hydrated.
“People go out in the sun and don’t even realize that they’re baking their skin in this extreme desert heat,” said Jennifer Martinez, director of the Oleksandra Spa & Salon. “The Skin Quencher alleviates the pain of the sunburn, reduces redness and minimizes peeling instantly after the treatment.”
All products used in the Skin Quencher treatment comprise natural ingredients and contain no chemicals. The products are from the TARA Sun Therapy collection and retail from $10 to $15, making the luxury of getting rid of your sunburn affordable.
n Lavender Face & Body Mist — Made from purified water, lavender oil, sea algae and herbal extracts, this mist relieves discomfort from sunburned skin.
