Hello, Forest Lake neighbors! When we think of beauty in our community, our minds often go to the stunning natural beauty of our namesake lake, the lush parks, and those incredible summer sunsets. But what about the beauty we cultivate for ourselves? In our active, seasonally-changing climate, true spa beauty isn't just a luxury—it's a form of self-care that helps us thrive right here in Minnesota. It’s about nurturing your skin through dry winters, protecting it during sunny days on the water, and finding moments of calm amidst our busy lives.
Living in Forest Lake means our skin faces unique challenges. The harsh winter winds whipping across the ice can leave skin parched, while summer humidity and lake activities call for different care. That’s why a local approach to spa beauty is key. Start by seeking out treatments that focus on deep hydration and barrier repair during our long winters—think hydrating facials with hyaluronic acid. In summer, prioritize facials with antioxidants to combat sun exposure from boating or a stroll along Lakeside Memorial Park. Don’t forget your hands and feet! After a day of gardening or hiking our local trails, a paraffin treatment can work wonders.
The best part? You don't have to travel far to experience this. Supporting our local Forest Lake spas and estheticians means you’re getting advice tailored to our environment. These professionals know exactly what our local water is like and which products perform best in our specific climate. Make it a point to book a seasonal facial as the weather shifts—it’s like a tune-up for your skin. And for a truly Forest Lake-inspired treat, consider a massage focused on easing those muscles after a day of snow shoveling or waterskiing, followed by a calming moment enjoying a view of the water.
True spa beauty is a practice, not just an appointment. Drink plenty of water from our great local source, protect your skin with SPF every single day (yes, even in January!), and embrace the relaxing power of a simple at-home routine. Let your journey to radiant wellness begin right here in our beautiful community. Your skin—and your spirit—will thank you for embracing the local art of spa beauty.
