Glycolic Chemical Peels are a popular treatment for wrinkles, acne, rosacea and scarring. Glycolic is a fruit acid derived from sugar cane. When applied to the skin, it helps remove the “glue” that holds the older, rougher and drier skin on the surface. By peeling this layer of skin, a fresh, new layer becomes visible. This skin is brighter and exfoliated. It will look younger, with fewer fine lines and wrinkles. People with acne will often notice that their skin is less oily and much clearer. There is little recovery time and no pain relievers are necessary.

Wool absorbs 33% its own weight in moisture. Dampness aggravates muscle aches and pains and conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia and diabetes. Dust mites don’t live in wool making it a natural remedy for asthmatic conditions. It promotes blood circulation for a deep, uninterrupted sleep and allows the magnetic field of the body to keep flowing! Wool is nature’s answer to many of our health and comfort needs.
