To better serve you and for your safety, please always sign & check in at the Golf & Nordic Center before using the trail system, as conditions are variable.

Skin longevity is about supporting how your skin functions over time by keeping skin cells healthy, which helps slow premature aging.
What does skin longevity mean? Are peptides better than retinol now?
Peptides support collagen signaling and skin repair, while retinol still encourages cell turnover and renewal. In 2026, smarter formulations often combine gentle retinoids with advanced peptides to minimize irritation while maximizing results.
How many steps should my skincare routine include?
Less is more. Mornings should focus on protection with Vitamin C and sunscreen. Evenings should support hydration and repair with moisturizer and collagen‑boosting ingredients.

What is Hyaluronic Acid and its benefits?
Hyaluronic acid helps your skin stay hydrated, plump, and flexible by holding onto moisture. It’s naturally found in the body and also supports smooth joint movement.

How do I identify what my skin type is?
After cleansing, leave your skin bare for an hour. Tightness signals dryness, shine indicates oiliness, T‑zone oil suggests combination skin, and balanced skin is considered normal.
What order should I apply my skin products?
Apply skincare products in order from the thinnest to the thickest consistency. Start with a cleanser, then a toner, serum, spot treatment, and finish with a moisturizer and sunscreen.
Meet the award-winning Eminence Organic Skin Care we can’t stop glowing about at The Cove. Our skincare treatments use professional level formulas, but you can build your own homecare regime with a series of products available for purchase at the spa or can order online to be sent directly to your home.
