    Good Things Do Come in Small Packages – CeraVe Healing Ointment

    NEW! CeraVe® Healing Ointment is the first and only healing ointment with a non-greasy feel that combines the ideal ratio of three essential ceramides (1, 3 & 6-II) with other key hypo-allergenic ingredients in a non-comedogenic and lanolin-free formula.

    CeraVe® Healing Ointment helps protect, soothe, and relieve extremely dry chapped and chafed skin.Developed with some of the country’s leading dermatologists over a three year period, CeraVe® HealingOintment provides intense, long-lasting moisturization, even to eczema prone skin. Petrolatum, the active ingredient in healing ointments comprises 46.5% of the formula, compared to the leading brand that contains 41%.

    Unlike the leading brand, CeraVe® Healing Ointment has been accepted by the National Eczema Association and does not contain lanolin. In fact, 9 out of 10 ointment users say they would switch from their current brand to new CeraVe® Healing Ointment.1 CeraVe® Healing Ointment features a unique blend of mineral waxes such as ozokerite and paraffin, along with dimethicone, and hyaluronic acid. It delivers silky, lightweight results because its formula has been carefully honed to produce a favorable tactile feel without leaving behind a tacky residue.

    Experience the Spa at Trump

    Las-Vegas-1.3-ServicesAmenities-Header

    SPA SERVICES. For guests of Trump International Hotel™ Las Vegas, rejuvenation is never far away. Whether in search of an extended getaway or a day spa experience, The Spa at Trump® is a serene sanctuary featuring luxurious treatment rooms with services for women, men, and couples. Pamper yourself with a relaxing full-body massage, clarifying or detoxing facial, warm herbal wrap or one of the many other ways to recover from the excitement of Las Vegas.

    Since I am relatively new to Las Vegas, I have no idea what kind of amazing services are in store at the Trump! The Day Spa has body treatment, massage and the works! Once you enter the luxurious spa on the pool deck floor, you are greeted by lovely service staff that make you feel welcomed and relaxed immediately.  If you want luxury, Trump knows best.

    Las-Vegas-4.3-SpecialOffers-HeaderI was able to check out the the “Spa Flight” package which is perfect for beginners. You can select ‘mini-services’ a la carte and see if you truly like it first.  The massage and body scrub were my top choice and it was heavenly. The locker and dressing room has automatic locking lockers that were equipped with sandals, towels and a robe. In the dressing room, there are combs, brushes, hairspray, hair dryer, lotion and cotton swabs. The best part is the HUGE mirror with lights all around it. You can really see your complexion and relaxed face (or how stressed you are!) clearly.

    The Spa Flight includes the following choices:

    Choose your own combination of the following 30 minute services customizing your own ritual experience:

    • Carboxi Express Facial
    • Foot Reflexology
    • Neck, Back and Shoulder Massage
    • Custom Body Scrub
    • Relaxing Head & Scalp Massage
    • Custom Bath Experience

    Once you are ready, you are escorted into the relaxation room where fresh lemon water, iced tea and hot tea are available. There are also some fruits and magazines as well. The overstuffed armchairs and lounge chairs also include a cozy blanket for you to doze off and really relax. Some spa users opt for the day pass, and they come in and out all day long.  My masseuse was professional, friendly and amazing! He was very mindful with his strength in helping me alleviate tense muscles I didn’t even know I had. Particular stiff are my lower back and right shoulder.  When my massage was complete, I also had a body scrub (which was different than the Korean style scrub I had in Tribeca) it was more gentle and relaxing. Once everything was done, I went into the eucalyptus steam sauna and shower. What a great way to start the week!

    Stiffness and tight muscles can be caused by so many reasons like a heavy purse, backpack, sitting at a desk for long periods of time and even walking your dog, favoring one side or if he pulls. The tight muscles actually block your chi and locks so many of your chakras. It can make you feel down and you don’t even know why. Immediately after my massage, I felt so much happier and relaxed.
