issues,” she says. “It is no longer enough
to offer ‘pampering’ massage and facial
services. They want a natural way to get
healthy and relieve their issues without
the need for physicians or drugs.”

When it comes to aging, skin issues like
wrinkles and hyperpigmentation often top
many of baby boomers’ lists of concerns.
“As skin ages, it produces less oil, collagen and elastin—elements that make your
skin look smooth and youthful,” says B.
Kamins Laboratories’ Vice President
Global Sales and Marketing Jocelyne
Horst. “Aging skin can look dull and as
wrinkles begin to appear, the concern is
always elasticity and overall firmness.”
Horst estimates that over 60 percent of
the Canada-based brand’s clientele falls
within the senior age group. “This is the
time in their lives when signs of aging
begin to show dramatically,” she says.
Horst notes that sun exposure and
improper skin care is cumulative and
begins to appear in the late 40s and
throughout the 50s.
“But it’s still not too late to begin the
healing and repair process. Quality skin
care with peptides can replenish the skin
even after the damage has been done,”
she says, adding that B. Kamins formulates its skin-care products using a unique
proprietary ingredient called Bio-maple
Compound which helps to hydrate and
protect the surface of the skin.
Like Horst, Ling says evidence of
increasing age includes loss of skin elasticity, causing wrinkles and sagging skin,
dryness and thinning of skin, age spots or
more heavily pigmented skin, itching and
sensitivity, allergies, and so on. “We
address these concerns that our clients
have with the anti-aging treatments we
offer, as well as the range of Elemis products that we carry,” she says.
Aside from advising clients to hydrate
their skin by regularly using moisturizing/
night cream, eye and neck cream, as well
as sunscreen to prevent further damage,
St. Gregory Spa also offers Elemis Visible
Brilliance Facial and Computer Aided
Cosmetology Instrument (CACI) treatments. “The Elemis Visible Brilliance
