Canyon Ranch Spa Skincare

Canyon Ranch Your Transformation is a new line of skincare from the uber famous spa of the same name.

One if the selling points of this new line is ProNad- a trademarked , bioactive form of niacin. This form is a 12 hour continous release and enables the niacin to get deep into the layers of skin. ProNad is also being tested by the National Cancer Institute as a possible cancer prevention agent.

Each product also has a host of other top ingredients, ranging from antioxidants to skin soothing oils. All have been clinically tested and and are made to be serious anti-agers.

I have been using the Elasticity Body Balm. It's highly emollient and contains 4 various oils including Borage oil. Borage Oil, I read many years ago, is one of the only oils that can penetrate the upper layer of the epidermis. In other words, it really works. The balm goes on smoothly and takes a little while to sink in, but is not greasy and has 3% of the ProNad complex. ( and no parabens or mineral oil). I am all for a lotion that anti ages . I especially like to use this on my arms. They need to be taken care of since they see more sun than much of your skin. ( ever compare the top of your arms to the underside? 'nuff said.)

Canyon Ranch also offers a cleansing cream and facial scrub. Age Transforming concentrate serum( 5% ProNad), Age Transforming hydrating mist, several face moisturizers including an SPF 30 UVA/UVB one, and eye cream.

The products are currently exclusive to Saks Fifth Avenue and Canyon Ranch properties. So if you can't get to the spa, the spa can come to you.

The Elasticity Body Balm sells for $ 50.00
