You deserve beautiful eyes
Customized eye lids and dry-eye treatments have been shown
to reduce some of the fine lines and baggy eyelid skin that can
make eyes look tired and contribute to the appearance of age and
discomfort. Dr Jaccoma, a leading pioneer in this new technology, offers a customized treatment. This is a unique, professionally
delivered, cosmetic medical procedure that is safe, effective, and
affordable, and can be accomplished during a lunch break. Come
in for a complimentary consultation by our Registered Nurse, Laura
Reddington, or plan to attend the complimentary Akari symposium
with Dr. Jaccoma and our staff on June 4th at 5.30pm.

Twenty
Sauce
has created sexy,
sporty, secure bathing suits for women of all sizes and
shapes with an emphasis on quality and comfort.
The Twenty Sauce look is a blend of the classic east
coast style suit and the brazilian/pacific style suit.
We’ve created cuts that render enough coverage
to feel comfortable and confident, while offering
you a unique, sexy, sporty look that only Twenty
Sauce can deliver.
All of our bathing suits are handmade in
Maine, USA with the highest quality materials. Our suits are constructed with high
quality, four-way stretch material, lined
with antimicrobial liner to keep you dry
and comfortable, and are designed for
the most secure fit possible.
We love our suits.
We hope you
do too!

Sandals Flip Flops
These flip flops are perfect for wearing to the pool or the beach. There are so many fun colors and patterns to choose from. They are great to bring along with you when
you get a pedicures as well.

Twenty Sauce Bikini Top
I love these bikinis because you
get the best of both worlds; sexy
yet sporty. They fit like a glove on
all body types. I love the different
patterns you can mix and match.

Bb. Surf Spray
Surf Spray is one of my favorite products Bumble and bumble makes. When the product is sprayed on damp or dry
hair you get that sexy, beachy hair you would
have after an ocean swim.
Kari
Smashbox Limitless Long Wear Lip Gloss
This lip color lasts for hours like a lip
stain, but shines like a gloss.
Stephanie
Lip Enhancing Gloss
This gloss is perfect for a date
on a hot summer night because
it stays put, even in humidity.
Jessica
Alicja
Phytoplage Protective Sunveil
I mist this lightweight hydrating spray
in my hair when I’m at the beach, going
for a run around the back cove or before
work if I want a tossled slept in look. I love it
because I don’t have to stress about losing
the integrity of my color when I play outside!
Butter London
Nothing makes you feel more beach ready than a much needed
pedicure. I get shellac in the color “Lobster Roll.” Nothing beats long
lasting primped nails in the color of my favorite summer time snack.
Amy
JI Glowtime Full Coverage
Mineral BB Cream
BB cream is the best
“do it all” product I have ever
used. It gives you foundation-like
coverage while acting as a
moisturizer, sunscreen and
anti-aging cream.

Jane Iredale Amazing Base Loose Mineral Powder
I love using the amazing base to even out my
skin tone, protect my skin with SPF 20, and as
a concealer with my camouflage brush for my
undereyes! It’s truly amazing!
Evelyn
Smashbox O-Glow Intuitive Blush
Smashbox O-Glow works with my skin’s natural
pigments to bring out my glow! Sometimes I like
to pop a little on my eyelids and lips for
some extra color all over!
Terra

Bb Texture
This matte finish texturizing
gel tames my hair and gives it some
beachy texture. I love to mix it with grooming
cream for a little more moisture. Whether you
diffuse your hair or let it air dry, this product is fun
for the summer!
The Wet Brush
It has always been a rule
to not brush hair when
wet. Then a miracle occurred. The wet brush. It
brushes through wet hair
and detangles without
pain. Best of all it doesn’t
damage your hair! It is
amazing on extensions
and is super inexpensive.

Pain Management
Sick of the kink in your neck that’s been bugging you for days?
Tired of not being able to reach that itch in the middle of your
back? Is constant lower back pain making you miserable? It’s
time to do something about it. Akari’s experienced massage
therapists are here to help you!
Our Pain Management massage is designed for those in need of
therapeutic work. Whether it is pain post-surgery, injury related,
or chronic, we will customize each session to your specific needs
and tailor treatments for maximum pain relief. We are skilled in
techniques such as myofascial massage, deep tissue massage,
trigger point therapy, positional release, range of motion exercise
and many more. We also provide hydrotherapy and essential oils,
including our homemade Akari scents such as our “Aches and
Pains” blend, which is full of anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic,
and analgesic qualities that will leave you feeling great, as well as
smelling wonderful.
Since the root of pain is often layers deep, we encourage you to
meet with a member of our trained team to discuss the best approach for you and your pain. While one session can provide a lot of relief, a treatment
plan can take that relief to the next level.

Ready to wash away the winter blues?
Living in Maine, we experience long,
cold winters, and humid summers, which
means our skin takes a beating. If you
are looking to refresh, hydrate, and revitalize your appearance you are in the right
place. Our three SkinMedica peels are
the solution to your problems.
Whether you are a bride longing for radiant skin on her wedding day or someone
with more acute skin concerns, look no
further. Our SkinMedica peels are exactly
what you’ve been waiting for! Schedule a
complimentary consultation with one of
our knowledgeable aestheticians today.
Refined, Renewed & Rejuvinated
hile maintaining our forward momentum towards what is cutting
edge and what is best for our clients, at The Westin Spa we also
pay tribute to the beauty of what is local and take pride in what
Maine has to offer. With that in mind we have created three new
treatments exclusive to the Westin, each showcasing the best of
what this great state has to offer!
The Honey Bee Polish:
Honey is known for its replenishing and healing properties. This
treatment is great for sensitive skin that needs a little extra attention. It includes a full body massage that is tailored to your needs
and uses our signature almond body butter.
The Maine theme doesn’t stop there. We’ve introduced a new
line, Airelle, to both our aesthetic and nail departments. Airelle is
a skin care line that uses the antioxidant rich nature of blueber-
ries, specifically Maine blueberry stems, with amazing results.
The Blueberry Detox Treatment:
The blueberry fruit seed is not only a wonderful exfoliant, it also
carries antioxidant protection properties that are great at helping
to prevent the look of age. This treatment is a full body exfoliation
paired with reflexology, acupressure, and deep tissue massage
which all work together to provide you with a full body release
and cleanse.
The Ocean Breeze Massage:
This has been our most popular treatment at the Akari spa at the
Westin. It begins with a full body algae gel and sea salt mask to nourish, moisturize, and balance your skin. The mask is removed
with hot towels, preparing your skin to invite the relaxing full body
Swedish massage which uses Akari’s own Ocean Breeze Body Balm.

Summer is fast
approaching and
we all want to be
sure we are
looking our best
while wearing a
little less.
One of the best ways to whittle away
your waist and sculpt your hips and
thighs is with Ba RoundBack section.
Usually this exercise is done with the
ballet barre for support, but we have
modified it for your at-home needs!
12
During this portion of the group class
we would already be warmed up, so
you should prepare by doing ten pushups and a one minute plank. Then you
can begin.
• Start seated on the floor with your
shoulders pressed into the wall and
your hips and buns pulled slightly
away.
• Hold your right leg up over your right
hip as close to you as possible to
check and challenge your flexibility,
then switch legs. Without the ballet
barre you will focus on one leg at a
time, pressing your hip down into the
floor and challenging your back and
hamstring flexibility.
• Switch back to your right leg and
slide your left leg straight out on the
floor. Keep your right leg pulled as
tight to your body as you can, making sure it is over your hip and your
back is as straight as possible. Your
back will be rounded but you want to
“think straight”.
• Pulse, circle and bend your leg. Repeat the exact motions on the other
leg to keep balance.
• Finish with a forward fold hamstring
and lower back stretch.
With this exercise we are striving
for balance of our upper and lower
abdominals while we lengthen the
hamstrings, flatten the outer hips and
thighs, and strengthen the back muscles. This exercise will also help raise
and shape the seat while building bone
density in the pelvis.
