Darphin's core belief is that outward beauty emanates from inner balance and harmony of the body, mind, and soul.

Each aspect of Darphin's products elicits luxury, privilege, and pleasure.

In 1958 Darphin founder, Pierre Darphin launched a new entity: a serious, luxurious line dedicated to comprehensive, head-to-toe beauty. He believed that a woman's skin is a mirror, reflecting her life. Genetic predispositions, lifestyle practices, mental state, environmental exposure, and beauty care are projected clearly on the "screen" of a woman's skin.

Mr. Darphin's high standards lead to the development of one of the world's leaders in skin products.

Every element of every Darphin product delivers a mood-awakening experience.

Experience the textures, fragrances, and the results. Be one of the first 25 to book your Darphin Facial and receive a FREE GIFT! Qualifying facial appointments are available in September and October only. Event ends October 31, 2010. Call 340-1700 to book your appointment.

This Green Science skincare ritual from Aveda is made for all skin types to address the signs of premature aging. It is clinically proven to perform in 4 weeks! This ritual can provide up to a 41% more lifted appearance and a 37% reduction in the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

STEP 1 - Perfecting Cleanser. Gently removes makeup, dirt, and excess oil and prepares the skin to receive the maximum benefit from this skincare process.

STEP 2 - Replenishing Toner. This milky lotion-like toner leaves a thin veil of moisture on the skin. It exfoliates with naturally derived salicylic acid and glucosamine.

STEP 3 - Lifting Serum. Helps skin boost its natural collagen production for a more lifted appearance and promote surface skin cell turnover and visible skin firmness.

STEP 4 - Firming Face Creme. Helps to improve visible skin firmness and strengthen skin's barrier function.

STEP 5 - Firming Eye Creme. Moisturizes, helps smooth fine lines, and reduces the appearance of puffiness and dark circles.

TARGETED TREATMENT - Line Minimizer. Targeted treatment concentrates on deeper lines and wrinkles.

Perform this skincare ritual daily and watch your skin transform before your eyes! The above Aveda skincare products are available at Cottonwood Salon Spa.

We recently implemented a whole new line of facials from Darphin. Darphin's products are renowned for their transformational results. Their guiding principal is an individualized approach to problems and a multi-sensory approach to solutions.
