To every thing, turn, turn, turn.there is a season, turn, turn, turn.You are cordially invited to turn your attention to Ettia's corner, a holistic lifestyle
classroom, offering seasonal tips for healthy, beautiful living. Ettia's valuable advice will teach you how to turn over a new leaf, as the leaves turn themselves.

At Ettia's, the changing seasons signal time to realign you with the world around you, so every treatment is adjusted to restore balance and harmony to the body, mind, and soul. As cooler weather barrels down upon us, changing our skincare regimen is imperative. The fall is a time to repair the summer's harsh sun damage and replenish the skin's moisture. For the fall, the most essential skincare tips are:

Step One: Exfoliate to Look Great
Air pollution, the sun, and harmful UV rays cause a buildup of dead skin cells, creating a 'carpet' on our skin. This 'carpet' acts as a shield, blocking air, moisture, and important nutrients from penetrating the skin's surface. To banish this 'carpet,' begin with Ettia's Glycolic Polish for face. This Glycolic Polish biologically sheds dead skin cells and allows newborn skin cells to grow. Skin emerges appearing healthier with refined pores and a perfect pink glow, ready to absorb moisture, nutrients, air, and light, to penetrate inside the skin's cells.

Now that the face has been attended to, get the rest of your body as you dreamed it could look and feel with Ettia's Dreamsicle Body Polish, an exfoliant for the entire body. Made from Jojoba, Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Vitamin E, Aloe Vera Gel, and essential oils, this body polish will wake you up from your flaky skin nightmare, to exfoliate your skin for a smooth, silky, softened glow. How dreamy!

Step Two: Moisturize to Harmonize
For normal to dry skin, Ettia recommends the Daytime O2 Protection moisturizer for the face. This high-performance moisturizer containing Revitalin, chamomile, and bisabolol, provides proteins to help you maintain elasticity for glowing, beautiful skin. For the body, try Ettia's Aloe Avocado Body Lotion, a rich avocado and sweet almond oil based lotion designed to repair rough, dry skin.

For normal to oily skin, Ettia suggests her Calendula moisturizer. Made from the healing medicinal plant calendula, it combines five herbal extracts and vitamins to protect and re-hydrate the skin. For the body use Ettia's Purifying Body Lotion, a luxurious lotion in which oils of orange, Italian lemon, peppermint, rosemary and geranium provide a blend of purifying compounds to invigorate the skin while Jojoba, avocado and sweet almond oils nourish and hydrate, while sealing in moisture.

Step Three: Eat Right To Radiate Bright
Beautiful, holistic living requires a fully balanced lifestyle, which includes paying attention to what you eat. For beautiful winter skin, you must eat well starting in the fall. Ettia advises:
