Which facial is right for your skin?
June 17th, 2010 • Posted by Penny Limperis • Permalink
Which facial is right for your skin? Facials are just one of the steps to maintaining healthy, clear skin but can also be a relaxing way to pamper yourself. Facials consist of the cleansing and exfoliating of the skin and the extraction of blackheads or whiteheads that clog pores. Often times, facials are designed or catered to a client’s skin type or problem areas. Everyone’s skin is different, but whether skin is dry, oily, a combination of the two, sensitive or normal, there is a facial to cater to its needs. * acne facial * anti-aging facial * back facial * custom facial * exfoliating facial * men's faciall * sensitive skin facial * signature facial * teen facial What to expect: When having a facial it is important to be clear about how your skin reacts to products or to being touched. Your facial technician will be able to diagnose what sort of products will be used during the treatment and what sort of regimen should be followed after your appointment. Facials usually begin with a cleansing and analysis of the skin under a bright light. How the aesthetician proceeds will depend on their diagnosis, but the process usually consists of: 1. Exfoliation 2. Extraction 3. Massage 4. Mask 5. Moisturizer Because everyone has different levels of comfort or tolerance, be clear with your technician about how much extraction you can stand as some find the procedure uncomfortable. Extractions are usually followed by a relaxing, stroking massage to stimulate blood flow and circulation to the face muscles. Finally, a mask catering to your skin type will usually be applied before the facial wraps up with the application of moisturizers and home care advice is given. www.spaconstantine.com

IN THE BURBS: FRIENDS -- Spa days pamper, bond friends
Submitted by Allison Horne on July 23, 2009 - 11:46am
How better to spend a day relaxing and unwinding than in the company of friends.
Once
seen as a solitary activity, spa visits have gained popularity as a
sure bet for mellow and quality time amongst pals, as many west
suburban destinations now offer packages catered toward groups.
“I never went to a spa until right before I got married,” says Anastasia Tsatsakis, manager at Spa Constantine, which has locations in Downers Grove and Oak Park. “I wish for the life of me that I did it before then, because now I realize the benefits of relaxation and unwinding. Also, it’s nice to be able to treat myself and my friends to massages so they can relax and pamper themselves.”
Long a favorite of bachelorette parties, friends’ trips to the spa are seeing increasing mainstream and cross-gender appeal.
“We get friends that come in at least a couple times a week,” Tsatsakis says. “We have groups of friends coming in to celebrate college graduation, birthdays, engagements, weddings, milestones, and we even have people that come in to celebrate pregnancies.”
Downers Grove resident Julie Smrz likes to share spa time with friends.
“I usually get the large packages that don’t expire, and I can share them with my friends and family,” she says. “I recently purchased a gift certificate for my friend’s birthday, and I also have gotten one of my friends a manicure and pedicure before their bridal shower.”
The spa isn’t just for women either. Tsatsakis says they encourage men to indulge too with their “guys day in” specials.
“People always return to the spa, but they bring their friends back with them because it is an awesome experience,” Tsatsakis says.

Fit for a queen (and a king)
Spa Constantine, in the western suburbs give patrons the royal treatment.
September 10, 2007
By Erin Calandriello STAFF WRITER
Every woman -- and man for that matter -- has something in common with the famous queen. They might not have a crown, but they do.Legend has it the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra VII's feet were doused in oils and her back was rubbed by gentle hands enjoying luxurious relaxing treatments.
Whether you're a stressed-out husband or a nervous bride-to-be, the Western suburbs have some spa gems along it to relax one's nerves and ease one's mind. Here's a looks at one of them.
Spa Constantine-A 'pampering' place
If you're up for ornate decor based on 19th-century European art and a cup of tea while listening to soothing music and inhaling the sweet smell of lavender and eucalyptus, try Spa Constantine in Downers Grove at 5333 Main Street, or Oak Park at 136 North Marion.
Frank Limperis, Spa Constantine's owner, said he's in the spa business because, "I love seeing people feel relaxed"
But his isn't any spa -- it has a European touch. From the furniture to its beauty technicians, it's 100 percent European, Limperis said.
He was born and raised in Greece and came to the United States in 1998. He has opened Spa Constantine's over the past five years in two locations -- Downers Grove and Oak Park.
He says treating oneself to spa treatment is deserved in today's society.
"We're living in 2007 and everybody works a lot. There's a lot of stress in our lives. People have too many jobs and are facing too much pressure. They have to take their kids everywhere," said Limperis. "To spend $70 on your body to feel good is well worth it."
The spa offers several services to take a break from normal life for both men and women.
One is a thermal-style stone massage, which uses individually collected smooth, steamed lava stones, covered with rich almond oils. This procedure increases circulation while releasing congestion and tension, according to Limperis.
There's ear coning, where a cone-like candle is inserted into the ear, then lit. As the candle burns, it draws the wax and pollen from the ear. Asian ear coning is ideal for allergy sufferers, said Limperis.
Prices depend on the service. A 75-minute pedicure will cost you $55. An hour-long Swedish massage runs $70.
