TheSouthShoreMagazine.com 19 rejuvenating Violet facials cater to a range of different skin types and they go beyond a simple mask and cleanse. These facials are so popular that they've even won "Best of Boston" awards from Boston Magazine four years in a row. What makes the Violet facials so special? For a start, all of their facials take place in a serene treatment room reminiscent of a boutique hotel, complete with top-end spa features such as private shower and heated beds. These luxurious facials use customized masks that are freshly made and tailored for your skin type, and they also include therapeutic upper-body massages. This means that clients get two treatments in one: skin rejuvenation and anti-aging benefits, as well as relaxation. Your aesthetician can also recommend some Violet products that will continue the effects of the facial, and clients often see noticeable improvements within a week. All in all, according to Kate, "The facials really are an experience…you leave looking and feeling amazing." In addition to customized facial treatments, the Violet Skin Boutique also offers waxing services. About this, Susanna says, "We use all- natural hard wax that makes waxing feel much less painful and it's also suitable for the most sensitive skin. We are very well known for our eyebrow styling, as well as our bikini waxes." If you're looking for something a bit more relaxing, the Violet Skin Boutique also has a range of massages—including a couple's massage—during which their highly trained therapists use organic aromatherapy body oils to ease your tensions away. If you're considering giving one of their products a try, Susanna recommends that you start with one of the masks or the argan face oil. In particular, she states that active South Shore clients will benefit from using the Violet pure argan oil. This popular product is perfect for the winter as it strikes the delicate balance between being very hydrating but also quite light. How soon can you expect results from a Violet product? "Immediately—your skin will be healthy and glowing…the first time you use them, you will see a difference" says Susanna. Continued use will yield even greater results, with most clients finding that common skin problems and signs of aging are visibly reduced once they switch over to the Violet product range. The efficacy of their product range has not gone unnoticed and in 2013 the Violet skin care line was awarded the accolade of "Best Local Product" by the Improper Bostonian. Why are these natural products so effective? Has nature created something that science has yet to match? While many of us might think that the secret to good skin is in some chemical concoction in a Swiss lab, "Not so" says Susanna. "Natural products are very, very effective. More so than plastic surgery! It's really amazing." This family certainly offers personal testament to this fact; at age 38, both sisters still have the skin of 20 year old girls, whereas Violet herself is almost 70 years old and has no wrinkles on her face! Aside from the aesthetic results that natural products can produce, many people with sensitive skin won't be irritated by these products or need to worry about what is being put on their skin during a facial. The needs of customers with sensitive skin are met by several specialty lines at the Violet Skin Boutique. These include a rosacea treatment, acne program and a maternity and baby product line. The rosacea line has proven to be particularly successful and the acne program is a popular alternative for parents who want to steer their children away from harsh chemicals or acne medication. What's next for the Violet Skin Boutique in Hingham? At the moment, they're committed to building their South Shore client base and have gotten involved with the local community through charity events and other outreach activities. They're also bringing out some new products and this spring they plan on offering an educational seminar about skin care for parents and teenagers. Next time you find yourself in Hingham Square, make a point of dropping in to the Violet Skin Boutique and seeing what they have to offer. Your skin will thank you for it!
