The Alila Hotel & Resorts Group Director of Spas and Development, Steve Jeisman shares his summer tips from Alila Living for damaged or dry hair and sun kissed skin.

Avocado & Coconut Hair Smoothie

For reviving sun damaged and dry hair, an intense antioxidant treatment designed to detoxify, balance and hydrate the scalp delivering the optimum environment for new hair growth and a healthier looking scalp. “Healthy hair begins with a healthy scalp, but occasionally the trials of everyday life can easily put our hair and scalp out of balance. The Avocado & Coconut Hair Smoothie is an earthy, grounding, herbal concoction designed to help repair hair by increasing blood flow to the hair follicle ensuring a perfect youthful glow,” noted Steve.

Key Attributes

·      Avocado oil is beneficial in treating frequently chemically processed hair. It is high in nutrients such as amino acids and vitamins A, B, D and E, all of which help repair and support hair and scalp health.

·      Coconut oil frequently used throughout the Asia Pacific region for both food and medicinal purposes helps the healthy growth of hair and provides a shiny complexion.

·      Rosemary essential oil stimulates hair follicles and growth, in addition to slowing down or premature hair loss.

Key Ingredients: Aloe, Avocado Oil, Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Honey, Tamarind, Rosemary and Lavender essential oils

PRICE 100ml for AED56 (USD 15)

Cucumber & Aloe Facial Cleanser

For sun kissed skin, this facial cleanser is a delightfully-fresh, calming blend of lavender, lemon and cucumber seed oils in a soothing aloe vera juice base. “One of the most important parts of maintaining healthy skin is thorough cleansing. An effective cleanser should remove excess oil, perspiration, dirt, dust, pollution, make-up and dead skin cells from the surface of your skin but should be gentle enough so as not to strip the skin of its natural oils,” adds Steve.

Key Attributes

·      Cucumber Seed oil is rich in both oleic and linoleic acids helping the skin prevent moisture loss and promoting elasticity.

·      Nutrient-filled Chlorophyll made from Alfalfa is rich in vitamins and minerals that nourish tired and exposed skin accelerating the formation of granulation tissue.

Key Ingredients:  Aloe, Wheat Germ, Chlorophyll, Lemon and Cucumber essential oils

PRICE 150ml for AED83  (USD 22.50)

Indian Fig Dream Cream

For nourishing skin, this cream is an effective moisturiser with excellent repairing, antioxidant and anti-aging properties. The cream protects, balances, repairs and hydrates all skin types. “It is perfect for summer months as the cream leaves a dry matt finish. For an extra cool summer treat, keep it in the fridge,” noted Steve.

Key Attributes

·      The star ingredient, Tamarind (aka Indian fig), is rich in organic acids and is an antiseptic, anti-allergy, and skin tightening; excellent anti-freckle and anti-aging remedy.

·      Vanilla is a premiere aphrodisiac, warming and gently stimulating.

·      Aloe vera has been used for thousands of years as a healing and medicinal plant. Men particularly appreciate this product as a soothing and repairing after-shave moisturiser that helps to heal razor burn, small cuts and nicks.

Key Ingredients: Aloe, Olive Oil, Kukui Nut Oil, Jojoba Oil, Wheat Germ Oil, Shea Butter, Tamarind Extract, Vanilla, Lavender, Patchouli Oils
