Parents are always telling their kids two things about food: to eat your fruits and veggies and to NOT play with it. Well, what if parents are wrong? After having a rejuvenating custom Beauty V8 Fruit Facial at the Naz Kupelian Salon in Lexington, Mass., I am starting to believe that I shouldn’t eat my fruits or veggies, but play with them instead.

Normally leaving facials, my face looks like an oily tomato. Blech! But after leaving my Beauty V8 Fruit Facial, I was “glowing” as Anne kindly told me (since I am car-less, she had to chaperon me to my facial just like a good mom). I really enjoyed the fact that I wouldn’t scare little children if they looked at my newly-cared-for face.

My hair was a different story though. If you have plans for after your facial, make sure you at least have time to shower, because the scalp treatment will leave your hair greasy. But the temporary grease is worth the effects. After rinsing my hair, it felt silky smooth and re-hydrated (my daily blow-drying and straightening does a number on my ends).

Naz Kupelian Salon’s Beauty V8 Fruit Facial includes two masks (exfoliating and moisturizing) and a scalp treatment, all of which are custom made on site for your skin type from a variety of fruits, vegetables and oils. The ingredients are as follows:

Exfoliating Mask Pineapple Milk Peach Strawberry Olive Oil

Moisture Mask Avocado Olive Oil Sunflower Oil Orange blossom oil Almond Oil

Scalp Treatment Olive Oil Sunflower Oil Orange blossom oil Almond Oil

The facial lasts an hour and 15 minutes and costs $85. To learn more or book an appointment, you can contact the Naz Kupelian Salon at 781-676-7791.
