~Essential Face Wash~

What? : Trisan antibacterial skin cleanser.

Why? : Recommended to me many years ago by my dermatologist. This product is soap free, oil free, perfume free and alcohol free. Only suds mildly and does not dry out your skin. Excellent product if you have combination, oily or acne-prone skin. Also great as an “after workout” wash – to clear out those sweat-blocked pores! Can be used for your face as well as whole body. Contains “triclosan” – the ingredient that kills germs. Yucky!

How much? : $12 – $16 CDN – depending on where you purchase.

Where? : Canada – Shoppers Drug Mart, London Drugs, Great Canadian Superstore. This product is only available “behind the counter” at the pharmacy. Ask your pharmacist.  Also available at www.allabouthealthyskin.com

~Relax~

Vancouver has a multitude of massage therapists – working from clinics, spas, or hospitals.  One such establishment has caught my attention.  Massage Therapy Centre in Mount Pleasant is a multi-disciplinary clinic which offers services such as massage therapy, acupuncture, and reflexology. A quaint neighbourhood clinic housed in an older building off of Main Street.

When you enter the premises you get the sense that you are walking into cottage home. Don’t be surprised to see the owner’s dog hanging out, keeping the clients company in the waiting area. Being in a relaxed atmosphere is a great precursor to any therapy.

The therapists and staff here are unpretentious and remarkably friendly. Because this centre boasts 13 therapists, it’s usually not difficult to book in massage sessions. The therapists themselves are skilled and possess professional etiquette. Their dedication to their clients’ health and wellness shine when they try to engage their clients. The client is able to benefit from the full experience when they know exactly what the therapy entails.

The Good Customer has great experiences here!

PS.  Prices for their services are quite reasonable as well!
