Motherhood and the special moments that I share with my family are the most precious blessings.  The best way to celebrate Mother's Day is to be together and this year I will be enjoying it with my darling daughters in LA.    As mothers, we almost never take time for ourselves to relax and indulge in some well-deserved 'me time'. Astara recently launched Aquatherapy Body Care Collection to heal, nourish and protect the body while also providing an authentic spa experience at home. The 4 products work synergistically (see below for details) and remind me that my personal spa sanctuary is only a few steps away.   Celebrate your motherhood and yourself by giving yourself the gift of time alone, and the quiet sense of peace that envelops you when bathing.  I wish you a very Happy Mother's Day and blessings every day of the year.

Aquatherapy at-home Spa Ritual
Water is the primary constituent of our bodies and proven scientific studies demonstrate that the body’s composition is nearly identical (99.7%) to that of seawater. This biological affinity works because the body “recognizes” the essential elements contained within seawater and readily absorbs them through the process of osmosis. This process works so well in a bath because the combined action of heat and water allows the pores to expand, thereby receiving beneficial nutrition while simultaneously ridding the body of toxins and waste so the skin can actually heal itself.

The initial step is a multi-action exfoliation with Citrus Lavender Sea Salt Scrub to remove dead surface skin cells and stimulate new cell production. The addition of enzymatic actives softens and smoothes the skin, giving it a firmer appearance.
