The Spa At Sanibel Harbour Resort Offers Sonya Dakar Skin Care Products and Anti-Aging Treatments

Feb. 2007 – Have you ever watched celebrities stroll the red carpet and wonder how they manage flawless, glowing skin that doesn't seem to age? The same revolutionary skin care line that solves the problems of the stars and leaves them with beautiful skin is now available exclusively in Southwest Florida at Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa.

Sonya Dakar has been the skin guru to a list of clientele that reads like a who's who of Beverly Hills. Cameron Diaz, Gwyneth Paltrow and Paula Abdul are just a few of the many celebrities who praise her treatments and product line. Her approach is to correct skin imperfections using the purest botanical extracts and healing aromatherapy with the most advanced scientific breakthroughs.

With years of experience working with the Sonya Dakar products and treatments, Terri Beckham, director of the Spa at Sanibel Harbour Resort gives the products the highest possible marks. What sets them apart from so many others that make promises? "They work," explains Beckham. "The products are results-oriented. They are designed to reduce the effects commonly associated with acne, discoloration, sensitive, irritated and aging skin."

Beckham notes that the new products along with treatments that have been developed at the Spa at Sanibel Harbour will focus on anti-aging and on reversing sun damage, which is common in sun-drenched Florida. The philosophy of the spa skincare program is an emphasis on aging well.
