beingTrue Anti-Aging Night Light Kit- $125 (for a limited time only)



Very few signs of aging arrive on time. Most emerge early, brought on by the environmental stress of daily living. In our world, the constant oxidative attack of free radicals is unavoidable, but finally the effects are not. The exclusive technology behind Idebenone helps counter continuous aging at the structural level with constant defense and repair at every step of your regimen.


BeingTRUE® products featuring Idebenone are for those who have plateaued with their current skin care regimen and want the next level of skin rejuvenation!

What is it?

Idebenone is a breakthrough cosmeceutical and multifunctional antioxidant known for its powerful, anti-aging and skin brightening capabilities. By effectively neutralizing toxic free radicals, Idebenone reduces cellular oxidative stress to revitalize cells, visibly regenerating and strengthening skin from the inside out. What results is smoother, brighter and more youthful-looking skin.

The benefits of Idebenone:
Decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Improves uneven skin tone and texture
Brightens the look of skin
Reduces the appearance of unwanted pigmentation
Offers maximum protection against environmental stress – EPF 95

Are there any side effects?
Idebenone is a scientifically produced and rigorously safety-tested antioxidant. It is one of the few antioxidants capable of affecting the skin without any irritation or the skin-sensitizing side effects found in most active de-agers.

How is Idebenone unique?
Idebenone is superior to the leading antioxidants for its efficacy against all causes of aging. It’s proven in a new independent measure, Environmental Protection Factor (EPF). Objective studies prove:
Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) - scored EPF 52
Ubiquinone (Co-Enzyme Q10) - scored EPF 55
Kinetin (Furfuryladenine/plant hormone) – EPF 68
Tocopherol (Vitamin E) - scored EPF 80

Danger: Inattentive Eater

Studies have shown that distracted driving leads to car accidents. Now, a new study is pointing to distracted eating as a dangerous practice, health-wise, when TVs or computers are concerned.


To test the effects of eating while engaging in a screen-related activity, researchers from the Nutrition and Behaviour Unit at the University of Bristol in England divided participants into two groups. Both were given the same lunch consisting of nine different foods. However, one group played a game on a computer while eating and the other ate lunch without any distraction.

After the meal, the group members who were playing while eating reported being less full than the non-distracted group and ate significantly more snacks 30 minutes later. These results lead experts to conclude that, given the sedentary nature of screen-time activities, the increased food intake of those who eat while watching or playing could be contributing to increased obesity levels.

The study results appear in the January American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Lava Shells by PerfectSense


Lava Shells™


For hundreds of years, South Pacific Islanders have harvested beautiful Tiger Striped Clams for food, and then thrown the shells away. Now, PerfectSense™ Professional has turned these discarded shells into the world’s most powerful heated massage tool. When filled with the patented self-heating technology of Lava Gel™, Lava Shells™ heat for up to an hour, giving you the same heat as a full hot stone massage with just two shells – no electricity or equipment needed.


The Lava Gel™ that powers the shells is available in four formulas:


•Facial Blend – The mildest heat for sensitive areas such as the face.


•Home Use Blend – Mild charge for sensitive areas.


•Comfort Blend Medium Heat – Moderate heat for targeted work.


•Comfort Blend High Heat – More powerful heat ideal for full body massage.

With so many products that are far removed from nature, Lava Shells™ allow you the opportunity to interact with something that is raw, individual, and natural. Made with 100% real Tiger Striped Clam shells, each shell is hand-selected in the Philippine Islands for its unique size, shape, and structural integrity. The shells are personally matched by size, sanded and polished to reveal their natural luster, then bonded together to form a beautiful implement for massage therapy.


Each delicate shell passes an intensive quality control process to ensure the preservation of its natural beauty and characteristics. Being a product of nature, variations in color, thickness, and texture are to be expected. Each shell’s pattern is as unique as a fingerprint, making it truly one-of-a-kind!


Natural Lava Shells™ are composed of calcium carbonate, the same material found in our bones and teeth. When the shells are heated they produce calcium ions, which are transferred directly to the skin during the massage process. The calcium helps to regulate the skin’s natural renewal processes and can help to give a client firmer, healthier looking skin, while also reaping all the benefits of a heated massage treatment.

Now Available at the Primrose Retreat for $29.99

M'Lis Body Contouring Wrap



The M'Lis Body Contour Wrap is an all-natural holistic approach to body contouring that has been around since 1979. When the body's circulation and elimination system becomes impaired, toxins and waste materials become trapped in the vulnerable fat cells of the connective tissue. The M'Lis wrap uses circulation and gentle pressure to flush toxins and waste materials from the system through internal detoxification of the body. Stored toxins are permanently removed at the cellular level through the circulatory and lympatic systems. This creates a permanent inch loss of up to 14 inches, while improving general health, nourishing the skin, and contouring the soft areas of the body.



The wrap acts upon all factors that cause body mis-shaping, including excess fluids, trapped waste, cellulite, and tissue weakness. With this ability, along with the natural ingredients in the cream, inch loss is just one of the benefits of the M'Lis wrap!



Other advantages include:



  • re-contouring,


  • skin hydration and smoothing,


  • the restoration of blood circulation, and


  • cleansing of body tissues for improved health

A series of 4 to 6 wraps is recommended, with 4 to 7 days between each wrap. If you are on a weight loss program, a wrap is suggested for each 5 to 10 pounds lost.



The M'Lis Wrap is a 120-minute


treatment for $120



At the Primrose Retreat, we offer discounts for multiple appointment bookings.

Ready for a Sizzling Hot Summer?




Schedule your waxing appointment today!




Waxing is still the most popular method of temporary hair removal after shaving, and it is a frequently requested aesthetic service at the Primrose Retreat.





Waxing lasts 6 - 8 weeks, as the hair is removed at the root. This means it is not necessary to spend time shaving.





Hair regrowth after waxing is often softer, as the tip of the hair has a finer tapered point, unlike the stubbly tip of shaved hair.





Reduced growth is a side benefit of waxing. When body hair is regularly removed at the root, the result is damaged and weakened roots and some diminished growth, especially for women reaching menopause. However, be warned: the opposite is true for chin waxing!!





Body waxing produces soft, smooth skin, as it exfoliates dead skin cells, along with the hair, therefore allowing a better absorption of sunscreen and sunless tanning products.





Waxing services are an affordable way to temporarily remove unwanted hair. For those who do not have the budget for more permanent methods of laser hair remover and electrolysis, waxing by a professional effectively removes unwanted hair in hard-to-reach areas for long-lasting results, without breaking the bank.
