The Basic Hot Stone Facial

• Relaxes the muscles that form and hold wrinkles.

• Exfoliates the skin's surface to remove the widest part of skin's wrinkles where dead cell build-up is greatest.

• Accellerates the delivery of fresh, plump new cells to the complexion's surface to naturally fill in lines, wrinkles and creases.

• Softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles using the instant line/wrinkle filling action of silicone

• Inhibits the formation of new lines and the deepening of existing lines with regular use.

• Diminishes and helps prevent redness and inflammation.

• Moisturizes with a boost of intensive, long-term surface hydrators

• May be used on any part of the body for a unique self-massage. Especially effective for joint pain and stiffness in hands and feet. The heated rocks are ideal for rehabilitation and flexibility work because they increase the elasticity of the muscles and tendons.

• Great for sinuses and migraines, too!!

Here's what Hot Rockers are saying about this cool, natural, rejuvenator!!

"You are a GENIUS!! I tried the new Black Velvet & Hot Rocks Anti-Aging Therapy last night. I think the Primer Plus is going to be my new favorite, it's like magic. I applied some primer before applying my foundation this morning, and guess what? No big ugly expression wrinkles on my forehead. Where did they go? I can see fine wrinkles there but the large ones appear to be gone. Can I have a bottle for my entire body? I'll definitely need more info on these products. I think New York will love it! Thanks!"
Phyllis, Wooster, OH

"I tried this yesterday morning, having just received it. It is amazing ....when I finished with the 50/50 and the Smooth & Fill, ...looked in mirror and had to do a double take! Which I find I am doing a lot with using my DayBreak products! I will be doing this Hot Rocks often! I had never used the Black Velvet before. Wish I could adequately describe my skin after this treatment. Suffice to say I am one very happy woman! I have pain in my right hand [probably Arthritis coming on]......these stones soothed that so very much that I will be using for that purpose as well! This is an incredible system! Be prepared to be amazed......this is the absolute ultimate!"

Breaking Black Velvet news!! When one Black Velvet user was just too pooped to grab her regular shampoo, she shampooed with her BV. Lo and behold, she had more volume, soft to the touch and super shine! She told our Forum Members and many have recently discovered that this bar is actually a fantastic volumizing shampoo bar. Zoom on over to our Forum and see what everyone's talking about. Clicking here will take you to DayBreak's Forum.

By the thousands - via emails, your skin profiles, consultations in our store and at shows, you asked Kathy, Kirsten & me: "Give me something natural to fight the visible signs of aging, something to refine fine lines and control deepening wrinkles, something that is ...

We heard you! And Black Velvet & Hot Rocks Aromassage Anti-Aging System is THE answer.

That's because I created it for me ... but I think you'll love it as much as I do. This amazing home spa treatment "irons away" the signs of time we'd all like to leave behind. As many of you know, I've lost over 150 pounds over the past two years. So the skin on my face became very loose. I looked thinner but boy did I look older. And I tend to carry stress and tension in my face too and that didn't help! So I went looking for a non-invasive, pure system that would firm my sagging skin, sand my wrinkles into oblivion and get for a face lift. So, one day I had one of those "Aha!" moments during a Hot Stone Massage ... why not the face? I asked the masseuse and she told me the Esthetician offered a Hot Stone Facial for $125. Well, I couldn't wait to get home and create the same kind of healing, sealing, deep cleansing experience for my complexion. And finally it's here!!

WHAT IS MOOR MUD?

With the retreat of the glaciers in the last Ice Age, remarkably fertile valleys were sealed off from the outside world. And lakes were formed. For the last 30,000 years, a unique process has been taking place. From the surrounding mountain slopes, a unique biological phenomenon and geological process evolved. This has resulted in a microbial decomposition of a whole plant kingdom, producing a homogenous deep, rich, black magma.

These phenomena occurred via photosynthesis of the plants which absorbed the solar energy through chlorophyll and transformed them into a solid substance of cellulose. These organic matters were then transformed into a therapeutic mud. Due to the constant humidity, the organic substances in the flora have been preserved through a slow natural process.

An analysis of the mud shows that it contains a truly unique collection of plants, minerals and trace-elements, organic substances such as volatile oils, amino acids, waxes, resins, phyto-hormones, vitamins, enzymes and natural antibiotics, all in the most natural balance.

The therapeutic properties of Moor Mud have been known for thousands of years. Its unusual qualities have been recognized by man from the times of Europe's earliest civilization. As far back as 120 BC the Romans took advantage of its curative powers and Renaissance physicians praised it as the Quinta Essentia.

For ages, Moor Mud has been successfully used in spas all over Europe for natural preventative medicine because of its curative properties. Modern scientific research provides for new application techniques with Moor Mud in many therapeutic treatments, particularly in the fields of Rheumatology and Dermatology.

A SHORT HISTORY OF HOT STONES

This is an age old therapy dating back 5000 years to India and most possibly even the Mayan culture. Ayurveda, the ancient healing tradition of India, spoke of a universal source of all life. The energy called "prana" is the energy, or the breath of life which moves through all forms to give them life. Yogis work with this energy with breathing techniques, meditation, physical exercise and massage to produce altered states of consciousness, healing and longevity. They would not only use their hands for manipulation and healing but also utilize "tools†the earth would provide such as herbs, flowers, crystals and stones.

Stone Massage Therapy came from the healers using rocks from the river beds and warming them either in hot coals or hot water. By placing the hot stones on cloth on the body and arranging them along the energy centers of the body, a healing process would occur. The hot stones have a tendency to relax the muscles and "draw out†muscle pain and discomfort. Verbal and written history confirms that the Chinese used heated "Pi†stones over two thousand years ago as a means of improving the function of internal organs.

In Japan, these traditional Asian stones were known in Japan as yen stones. Yen means, 'rounded disk shape with a hole.' Traditionally many Japanese forms of currency were made in this shape. This is why these stones share the name yen with the modern day currency. In traditional Asian folklore the donut shape of these disks is known as the symbol for heaven. According to ancient custom when you anticipate upcoming problems in your life, rubbing these stones or massaging with them will prevent the problems from manifesting. Due to this ideology these stones became a favored object and have been formed from many materials into jewelry and decorations for thousands of years. Yen stones have been carried as good luck charms and used for massage since the beginning of Asian culture.

Ancient Greek and Roman cultures have a long recorded history of many forms of massage and thermal bodywork. The Roman Empire, which dates from 27 BCE to 476 CE, is noted for its creation of the Roman baths. That tradition is still with us today in the form of modern hydrotherapy practices. The Romans used stones in saunas and combined the effects of hot immersion baths with the cooling effects of marble stone and cold pools.

Hot Stones were - and are today -- used for healing work in Native America, South America, Africa, Europe, Egypt & India. These traditions included laying stones in patterns on the body, carrying or wearing stones for health and protection, using stones in the diagnosis and treatment of disease and ceremonial uses, such as in sweat lodges and medicine wheels. The healing practices of "curanderas" and other women caregivers often included dealing with disease as well as pregnancy and childbirth. These Native folk healers used heated stones to diminish the discomfort of menstruation, and the application of cold stones to slow bleeding after labor. Some cultures believed that holding stones during labor added to a woman's strength and endurance. I know that when I look better, it adds to my strength and endurance too!!
