We are thrilled that Seattle Magazine readers voted for us in the magazine's Best of 2017 Readers' Choice Poll, giving us top honors for "Best Facial!" Pick up the December issue to check out all the winners and to read more about our Perfector Treatment and Remodeling Machine Facial.
We all love our P50. It's true love, our skin's soulmate. In fact, many of our clients can’t live without it. Biologique Recherche’s Dr. Allouche has called it a “potion in a lotion” and it is the keystone to BR’s skin care treatment. There’s nothing else like it on the market.
There are a few different versions, but all are the unique result of 30 years of development and experience. P50 balancing exfoliators speed up the epidermis' natural exfoliating process and the reconstruction of the epidermal shield. The fortified epidermis protects the skin, boosting its self-regeneration abilities. All BR treatments begin with the P50 ritual in the morning and evening. It gently exfoliates the skin, regulates excessive sebum secretion, moisturizes and helps maintain the epidermis' acid pH. It prevents and treats in-grown hairs, and is therefore ideal for pre- and post-shaving skin care.
Sound too good to be true? Well, don’t take it from us. Here are a few of the articles praising P50 (and dissing the smell, which, truth be told, is a bit acrid but it’s a small price to pay for the many benefits of this loved potion).
Find your perfect P50:
Lotion P50 is the formulation that started it all, the original P50 is recommended for seborrheic or hyper-keratinized skin.
Lotion P50 V is the kinder formulation developed for less toned and devitalized skin.
Lotion P50 W is the gentlest exfoliator of the bunch. It is chock-full of anti-inflammatory active ingredients and ideal for fine, sensitive skin prone to redness.
Lotion P50 PIGM 400 is an exfoliating and brightening lotion perfect for dull complexions with hyperpigmented marks. Unexpected ingredients pack a powerful punch: Palmaria Palmata extract lightens pigmentation and inhibits melanin synthesis, AHAs exfoliate, and Vitamin B3 and Wasabi extract are powerful antioxidants.
To use P50:
The first week, soak a cotton pad moistened with water with Lotion P50 and apply to the face, neck and cleavage, patting upward gently without rubbing. The following days, skip the water and soak a dry cotton pad with Lotion P50. Follow with your other favorite BR products. And don’t worry if you first feel a bit of tingling upon use. When the pH of the epidermis is unbalanced, you will feel the P50’s acidity. Once the skin is balanced, that sensation goes away.

Yay! Seattle Magazine's blog just gave us some love. Style Editor Ali Brownrigg visited Svetlana for a treatment and got an added bonus: an interview with Tata Harper herself (she's pictured with Svetlana at right)! Tata was in the spa for a facial as well, and shared her experience with Ali. "My Jill Bucy facial was to die for—completely relaxing and rejuvenating.
They have a beautiful space and are charming people. It was really such
a treat during a busy trip, and really made my day," Tata told Ali.
Ali wrote about her experience in the spa as well. "It was a sweltering late summer afternoon and I was finally about to cross the threshold of Jill Bucy Skincare, hallowed ground for Seattle’s skincare obsessed and widely considered as the place for a facial in town…Inspired by the techniques, machines and products of French line Biologique Recherche, Jill Bucy is one of only two spas in town that uses the Perfector machine, a non-invasive device that uses low frequency micro-currents to revitalize the skin and Ponomareva is a master with it," Ali reported.

The word is getting out that Svetlana is Seattle's best-kept secret in the quest for glowing, youthful skin! Seattleite recently experienced a Ultimate Lift Facial with Svetlana, which returned her 16 weeks' pregnant complexion to normal. Her words speak for themselves:
"After descending into a bliss that can only be brought on by the
hands of Svetlana (and only momentarily startled when she used the
Perfector which I had never experienced before—it was a painless
“zapping” sensation), I came out from behind the sliding doors
fresh-faced and fancy-free."
"A few weeks later and my skin seems to be almost back to
pre-pregnancy normal. So with that, I can officially say Svetlana at
Jill Bucy is worth a visit and a relaxing hour out of your day."
Come experience the magic that is Svetlana and Jill Bucy Skincare today!
We were thrilled to see that Laura Cassidy, Seattle Met's Style Editor, loved her facial treatment with Svetlana. It had such an impact, that she continued to think about Svetlana and the treatment days later. "Som spas rely almost exclusively on wands and microcurrents," Laura wrote. "When I was in Ponomareva's care, she used the French-formulated product
and her hands: gently but purposefully pushing up, over, and somehow
vaguely in the direction of a better and if not younger than not-older me."
Laura also sees how Jill Bucy Skincare's philosophy fits right in with the current trend toward slow, thoughtful, and non-toxic. "It seems to me now," she said, "when I eventually remember to snap out of the hot
water each morning, that hands-on 'face lifts' are right in line with
canning your own tomatoes, car-sharing, and roof-top solar panels. In
other worlds, if you're commited to non-toxic, low-impact living and you're interested in slowing the march of time, you might consider spending 90 minutes or so at Jill Bucy to see if this small-batch approach to skin care is right for you."
