GLOW BEAUTY BOUTIQUE GLOW BEAUTY BOUTIQUE Written by Robin Young, photography by Susan Hagstrom Y O U R T I M E TO S H I N E 36 For twenty years, Shelley North has committed herself to helping others put their best face forward. Operating at 351 Washington Street in Braintree Square since September 13, 2002, this one-woman powerhouse has made skin care her personal mission. Her recent addition to her arsenal is The Hydrafacial: a thirty-minute amped reboot of your face. The difference in appearance and feel is instantaneous and glorious. End of summer skin is crying out for mercy, and it can be found at Glow Beauty Boutique with their latest skin care technology: The Hydrafacial. Using 'a patented Vortex Fusion delivery system to exfoliate, extract and hydrate,' the Hydrafacial 'uncovers a new layer of skin with gentle exfoliation and relaxing resurfacing.' The swift yet thorough removal of debris from pores is done with painless suction while the skin is nourished with 'intense moisturizers that quench skin.' Completing the experience is the saturation of 'the skin's surface with antioxidants and peptides to maximize your glow.' Our faces take a beating day in and day out, and the statistics are alarming. 90% of skin damage is done by the sun, and after age 20 we produce 1% less collagen each year. Somehow, people have forgotten that UV rays are as equally dangerous whether the days are cloudy or sunny. No one disputes the fact sleep is vital for vibrant, healthy skin, but life and schedules are filled with deadlines and commitments, to-dos and need-to-get-done lists. That precious sleep gets easily chipped away. Revitalize your skin in the skilled hands at Glow Beauty Boutique.
