Luxury Skincare Powered by the Sea

When you want skincare that feels luxurious but also focuses on visible results, ELEMIS Pro-Collagen has become one of the most recognizable collections in professional skincare.

At DanielShay’s Salon Boutique Spa, we use ELEMIS because it brings together two things we believe a great facial should provide: a luxurious spa experience and professional skincare designed to improve the way your skin looks and feels.

At the heart of the Pro-Collagen collection is one of ELEMIS’s signature marine ingredients: Padina Pavonica.

What Is Padina Pavonica?

Padina Pavonica is a brown macroalgae found in the Mediterranean and used throughout ELEMIS’s Pro-Collagen collection.

Why algae?

Marine plants survive in challenging environments and contain naturally occurring compounds that make them particularly interesting in skincare. ELEMIS describes Padina Pavonica as an antioxidant-rich marine active that helps support skin hydration.

Hydration becomes increasingly important as we age. When skin becomes dehydrated, fine lines can appear more noticeable and the complexion can lose some of its smooth, plump appearance.

By helping support hydration, Padina Pavonica plays an important role in the soft, supple and refreshed appearance associated with the Pro-Collagen collection.

More Than One Powerful Marine Ingredient

Padina Pavonica may be the star, but it doesn’t work alone.

ELEMIS combines it with other marine and botanical ingredients, including Chlorella Vulgaris, a green microalgae used to help improve the appearance of firmness, fine lines and wrinkles, and Porphyridium Cruentum, a red microalgae that helps support the skin’s barrier.

Together, these ingredients help address some of the most common changes we notice as our skin matures:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Loss of firmness
• Dehydration
• Changes in elasticity
• Dull or tired-looking skin
• Rougher or less supple texture

The goal isn’t to make your skin look artificial or completely different. It’s about helping your skin look hydrated, smooth, radiant and beautifully cared for.

Clinically Tested Results

One of the reasons we appreciate the Pro-Collagen collection at DanielShay’s is that ELEMIS combines its luxury spa heritage with clinical testing.

ELEMIS reports that its iconic Pro-Collagen Marine Cream is clinically proven to significantly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in 14 days and provide instant and 24-hour hydration.*

That makes Pro-Collagen more than simply a moisturizer that feels wonderful on the skin. It is designed specifically around some of the concerns that bring many of our clients into the spa in the first place.

A British Luxury Skincare Icon

ELEMIS was founded in London and has grown into an internationally recognized British skincare brand.

Its Pro-Collagen collection has become one of the company’s signature ranges, earning numerous beauty awards and developing a loyal following around the world.

You may have even discovered ELEMIS while traveling.

ELEMIS has a major presence at sea, with its professional facial and body treatments available aboard more than 100 cruise ships. Millions of treatments are performed using ELEMIS products aboard cruise ships each year.

For many people, their first ELEMIS experience happens while they’re on vacation—relaxing in a beautiful spa aboard a luxury cruise.

At DanielShay’s, you don’t have to wait for your next vacation to experience it.

Pro-Collagen With or Without SPF

One of the things we particularly like about the Pro-Collagen Marine Cream is that there are options depending on your skincare routine.

The classic Pro-Collagen Marine Cream provides the hydrating, wrinkle-smoothing benefits for which the collection is known.

There is also Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF 30, which combines those skincare benefits with broad-spectrum UVA and UVB sun protection.

That can be particularly valuable because protecting your skin from UV exposure is one of the most important steps you can take to help prevent premature visible skin aging.

For someone concerned about fine lines, wrinkles and maintaining younger-looking skin, it makes sense to think about both sides of the equation: treating the visible signs of aging while helping protect the skin from additional sun-related damage.

Pro-Collagen Is More Than a Moisturizer

While Marine Cream may be the product that made Pro-Collagen famous, ELEMIS has developed the collection into a complete skincare regimen.

The range now includes cleansers, serums, eye treatments, night creams, oils, essences and other products designed to work together.

This allows our estheticians at DanielShay’s to help clients build a home-care routine instead of simply recommending one product.

Professional facials can make an incredible difference in how your skin looks and feels, but what you put on your skin every morning and evening matters too.

Think of your facial as the professional treatment—and your home skincare as the maintenance that continues between appointments.

Bringing the ELEMIS Spa Experience to DanielShay’s

There is another reason we chose ELEMIS that goes beyond ingredients.

Skincare should be an experience.

The textures, aromas, massage techniques and professional products used during an ELEMIS facial are part of what transforms skincare into a true spa treatment.

At DanielShay’s, we want you to leave feeling relaxed, but we also want your skin to look refreshed, hydrated and radiant.

Our ELEMIS facials combine professional products with personalized esthetic care and relaxing facial massage. Depending on your skin and goals, your esthetician can also discuss whether other treatments available at DanielShay’s—such as HydroDiamond™, dermaplaning, radiofrequency or SkinPen microneedling—could complement your skincare plan.

Is ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Right for Your Skin?

You don’t have to understand every ingredient on the back of a skincare bottle to have great skin.

That’s what we’re here for.

When you visit DanielShay’s Salon Boutique Spa, talk with your esthetician about what bothers you most about your skin. Maybe it’s fine lines around your eyes. Maybe your skin feels dry. Maybe you’ve noticed a loss of firmness, or perhaps your complexion simply doesn’t have the glow it once did.

From there, we can help you determine which professional treatments and home-care products make the most sense for you.

For clients looking for a luxurious skincare collection focused on hydration, firmness and the visible appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, ELEMIS Pro-Collagen is one of our favorites.
