The four main reasons why wrinkles and sagging occur:
1. Sun damage to the outer layer of skin (epidermis and dermis).
2. Loss of soft tissue fullness and other structural support UNDER the skin.
3. Repetitive facial movements such as frowning, smiling, smoking, laughing and even drinking through a straw.
4. Poor general health habits, such as improper nutrition, smoking and limited exercise.
One of the most common questions asked of an esthetician is, what does a facial do for me? Simple answer, plenty.
We all have professionals that we trust; our hairstylist, our mechanic, our handyman. We trust that as professionals, they have done the research and have the knowledge and experience to deliver a higher quality of service than we could do ourselves. Sure you can cut your own hair and fix your own engine-but would you?
As an Esthetician for many years I always get asked, "What should I be doing to my skin?" And, "My skin is different in the summer, should I be doing something different?" I have shared some of my knowledge with my guests and I would love to pass on some of this information to you!#1 ALWAYS Wear Sunscreen.It is so important to protect your skin and that's the first thing I tell to everyone. If you are not using a sunscreen, then you need to get up front and pick one out before you leave!
As it is with all areas of life, it's the little things that often turn into big things. It's the small, daily routines that create the habits that ultimately shape our lives. And so it is with skincare. When you commit to daily taking steps to better your skin, you are on the path to beauty. Sometimes, the results are immediate - firmer skin, brighter complexion, less wrinkles or aging spots. But sometimes, it's the accumulation of years of good skincare rituals that result in the skin you want. Today is the perfect day to start the journey to great skin!
Whether you stayed a little too long on the beach, or chased the kids in the park all afternoon - we know how the sun takes its toll on our skin! When you do find yourself or one of your family members with a sunburn, try this cooling mist to help with the pain and inflammation. In a glass spray bottle, combine 1 cup of Aloe Vera Juice, 1 teaspoon of Vitamin E, and the following pure essential oils: (12 drops of Lavendar, 6 drops of Tea Tree, and 6 drops of Chamomile). Shake before each use to gently mix ingredients.
Our skin is our body’s largest organ, and like all of our other organs, it needs special care to keep our bodies safe and healthy. Even if you don’t have the money or resources for a full-blown skin care routine (think Hollywood-style), do your skin a favor with these five basic steps.
Mardi Gras (translated as Fat Tuesday in French) is upon us! It’s your last night to eat whatever you want before your Lenten season fast! It’s time to go wild and let your healthy eating habits go to the wayside for just one day, because tomorrow, you’ll be wishing you hadn’t given up those M&Ms.
But not so fast. All of that rich, fatty food can really wreck your skin! We’re not talking about fatty food as your average weight problem, but fatty food as your overall skin problem as a reflection of your overall health problem.
JUST HOW GREAT CAN A DESSERT INGREDIENT GET?
1. At what age should skincare regimes begin?
It’s never too early to implement a skincare regime. In fact, even using sunscreen on your children is a form of skincare that your kids can take with them throughout their lives. Sunscreen should become a habit for you and your children, starting in their infant years.
