Sunscreen All Year Round

2009-09-28T18:16:00.000-07:00

Summer may be over, but that doesn’t mean you should shelve your sunscreen. In Fact, The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends using a broad spectrum sunscreen year-round with an SPR15 or higher. Many doctors also recommend that sunscreen application becomes a daily habit, like brushing your teeth.
DID YOU KNOW?
Both UVA and UVB rays play different roles in damaging our skin. UVA has long been known to play a major part in skin aging and researchers have recently found that it may initiate the development of skin cancers. UVA is present with relatively equal intensity during all daylight hours throughout the year, and can penetrate clouds and glass. These rays are also 20 times more abundant than their UVB counterparts, which are responsible for sunburn and are the leading cause of skin cancer. UVB rays can damage your skin year-round, especially at high altitudes and on reflective surfaces such as snow or ice.

Hyperpigmentation

2009-09-28T18:03:00.000-07:00

Hypergipmentation affects a majority of the population and is caused by a process known as melanogenesis. It is important to know what triggers melanogenesis and how to help correct and prevent this process.

The background: Melanin is the natural component of our skin that gives us pigment, thereby determining our skin tone. It is “manufactured” by cells called melanocytes within the basal layer of our epidermis. Melanogenesis is the result of the immune system triggering an inflammatory response to protect the skin from things like heat and injury. This response causes a darkening of the skin as a result of melanin production. Here’s how the reaction works:
There are three main melanogenesis triggers:
1) UV rays, which skin gets from exposure to the sun, tanning beds and fluorescent lighting.
2) Fluctuations in hormone levels (such as pregnancy or menopause).
3) Surface irritation or abrasion of the epidermis from, for example, acne, dermatitis, psoriasis, ingrown hairs, eczema and bug bites.
There are also three steps to lifting hyperpigmentation:
1) INCREASE CELL TURNOVER. Exfoliating skin treatments, like superficial chemical peels, gently bring pigment to the surface of the epidermis and trigger the production of new skin cells. In addition, using products with low levels of retinol – part of the Vitamin A family – also helps cell turnover and is considered the most effective anti-aging ingredient.
2) INHIBIT TYROSINASE PRODUCTION. Using topical inhibitors of the enzyme tyrosinase will help stop the chain reaction that ends in melanin deposit. Common tyrosinase inhibiting ingredients include kojic, lactic, ascorbic and azelaic acids, as well as arbutin and licorice root extracts. These ingredients gently fade spots and even out skin tone.
3) PROTECT FROM FURTHER DAMAGE. Everyone should use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF25 or higher) on a daily basis on exposed skin. This is particularly important for those trying to rid themselves of hyperpigmentation because daily UV exposure slows the process of evening the complexion and can trigger new damage. It is even more important to wear sunscreen after a peel treatment and when using exfoliating ingredients, which make skin more sun-sensitive.

What is Reiki?

2009-06-25T19:45:00.000-07:00

Reiki is an energy healing and an enlightenment system. It is non-invasive, and treatments can be given to people of all ages. It works well as a complement to a massage. It balances your energy centers and energizes and heals your body for a feeling of wellbeing. Reiki flows in response to the demand or need of the recipient. It treats symptoms, but it also goes to the root cause.

Reiki energy works on all levels, the physical, spiritual, and emotional. Research studies have shown that it speeds wound healing time, lowers blood pressure, reduces stress and is effective as part of a regime to manage pain. Reiki is balance. It complements other health care and medical treatments, speeds the healing process and can minimize the side effects of conventional medical treatments.

Giving or receiving Reiki is a peaceful, relaxing and joyous experience.

Why Choose Mineral Make-up?

2009-06-22T14:08:00.000-07:00

Sourced from nature, fused with science... Skin life-sustaining minerals, the purest elements of earth, are essential to the line. Micronized minerals protect and correct skin without irritation. Minerals are a chemical-free sun block, naturally shielding skin against damaging ultraviolet light. Their powerful, light reflective properties also make flaws and imperfections look less visible.

Mineral makeup allows skin to "breathe" freely while shielding against age aggressors. Every product is free of heavy fillers and pore-clogging ingredients. Our skin-safe formulas contain no potential irritants, such as fragrance, oil, talc and dyes.

Mineral makeup is the perfect choice after cosmetic surgery, chemical peels, laser treatments, and waxing, or for individuals who suffer from acne, rosacea, hyperpigmentation and other skin conditions.

Modified protocol for diabetics and adolescents.

Ideal Protein's targeted approach and detoxifying effect shrink fat cells, thereby eliminating most cellulite.

Skin Revitalization:
Our protein packets contain high-biological value protein, which revitalizes and softens the skin by providing it with the nutrients it needs.

Improved Convalescence:
Protein plays a major role in the treatment of illness, as the body is primarily composed of protein. Protein maintains vitality and strengthens the immune system.

Fats Off!!! The Universal Contour Wrap

2009-05-12T18:09:00.000-07:00

Fats Off – The Universal Contour Wrap

Don’t get a mother started about her post-baby body. We’ve got a name for (and a complaint for) every weathered and worn bit: chicken arms, saddle bags, chin waddles, love handles mummy tummies, muffin tops, arm pit swag and more… But what if we told you that we’ve got a guaranteed solution to improve these much-loved mommy parts?
Affectionately known as the UCW, it’s been helping to firm and tone mothers’ skin everywhere. The UCW promises to take six inches off, regardless of your size and shape, in just one wrap treatment or it’s free. We’re not suggesting that you retire the sneakers, but the average loss is 10 to 14 inches from just one treatment. This six inch loss is guaranteed to stay off for at least 30 days, or you will be re-wrapped for free. With Claims like these, it is no wonder that the UCW is a red carpet secret(Just ask Paula or Paris)
So, what’s the skinny on this wrap? The UCW is a detoxification treatment that involves a person being wrapped in about 30 tensor bandages soaked in a special warm sea clay concoction from head to toe. But before you are wrapped, 21 points all over your body are measured (yes, completely naked) and you also get weighed. Sound fun yet? While you relax mummified for an hour, the UCW removes toxins (like caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol) from your body by causing a purge of these pollutants, which accumulate in your fatty tissue, through your lymphatic system. When you are unwrapped, you are re-measured to show how much your fatty tissue has been compacted, and you are weighed to prove that you have lost nothing in water weight. While the result isn’t stark, your clothes will feel looser.

A home care kit is also available at the spa for “touch ups”. There aren’t many guarantees in life. With the UCW, you’ve got both everything and nothing to lose.

During the facial the Esthetician let her know there was a way to remove a red bump on her nose deep under the surface. For years "Sue" had this red bump. No one else really notice it, but she did. Sue came in for a Vasculyse session and within 10 minutes of Zapping, it was gone. "I can't believe the results! It's amazing that for 6 years I couldn't get rid of it and you did it in 10 minutes! It was painful, but worth every minute! Thanks so much!" The Vasculyse can be used on any number of skin tags, broken capillaries, ect... Ask us how!
