The Zen Ten

Sweet Dreams

Do your clients spend more time counting sheep at night than they do resting? More than 40 million Americans suffer from chronic sleep disorders each year. An additional 20 million experience occasional problems, including minimal, disturbed or excessive sleep, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.

Dehydrated skin, puffy eyes and dark circles are telltale signs of insufficient shut-eye. "Because sleep is an ideal time for cellular renewal and overall repair of the skin and other organs, poor sleep becomes quite apparent in the complexion," says Howard Murad, M.D., associate clinical professor of medicine (dermatology) at UCLA and founder of Murad Inc. "Your body naturally produces the ultimate sleep aid—melatonin—so sometimes the trick is just to encourage the body to repair its own cycle."

Star Treatment

Take Your Vitamins

Many facials claim to be antiaging and pro-hydrating, but few actually deliver these results. The Iderm Dermaculture signature facial treatment (60 min./$125) at Face to Face in Studio City, California, is an exception to the rule. Its deep-skin ionization process delivers vitamins and minerals into the dermis with galvanic current to refresh, replenish and restore.

The result is a glowing, dew-like appearance. "After a thorough extraction of the skin, we have a holistic approach that we believe works from the inside out," says Robert van den Hurk, co-owner.

"Our exclusive method opens pores, evens pigment, and tightens and firms skin," adds Marianne Kehoe, co-owner and esthetician.
