Ever get sick of throwing out the “guts” of your pumpkin while carving them? You don’t have to anymore! Pumpkin is great for keeping your skin looking fabulous in between facial appointments here at Kimberly Spa! Pumpkin is rich in essential vitamins and nutrients necessary for healthy and radiant skin.
Pumpkin is good for all skin types, especially the ones born in the ‘baby oil era’ who now suffer from hyperpigmentation. It is rich in vitamin A (retinol), which soothes and softens your skin, and vitamin C (an antioxidant that can help to remedy damage produced by free radicals).
Pumpkin also has a high enzyme content which helps dissolve dead/dry skin, helps remove old surface skin cells and even promotes new cell production. (more…)

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011Foot Detox, What’s That?
Wednesday, September 7th, 2011
Toxins are all around us. We naturally get toxins from the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the state of stress we are in. Unfortunately, a buildup of toxins in the body can become harmful and even increase the chances of becoming ill.
Did you know that our bodies are made up of many electrically charged cells? Sometimes these cells can become off balance due to the buildup of toxins. When those cells are out of balance they aren’t able to function correctly to keep a person healthy. Foot detox baths use the thousands of sweat glands in our feet to help take out some of those unhealthy toxins. A foot detox bath also puts safe positive and negative ions back into the body through those same glands! These ions then gradually help to bring the body back into balance. (more…)
Quick Tips For The Outdoors!
Sunday, September 4th, 2011
I have a friend that said I looked really happy in this photo. I was, and I am every time I get to spend time with my horse! I think that everyone needs to get themselves outside and into nature as often as they can. However you choose to spend your outdoor time, taking care of your skin can be simple as long as you remember to ‘Prepare, Prevent & Preserve’ the health of your skin! When you dress to go outside you think about the weather, the temperature etc…right? Do the same for your skin…to help prepare for the day. If your skin is oily or acne prone make sure to wash your face as soon as you’re done sweating to help prevent those annoying breakouts. I have an easy, inexpensive way for you to be more proactive…Wet some Viva paper towels with distilled water, add 1 very small drop of your Visual Changes Skin Clearing Cleanser to each towel and place in a zippy bag. Voila! You’re ready for even the most rugged outdoor activities! Sunscreen, of course, is a must have item for your outdoor lifestyle that will help prepare, prevent and preserve your skin. Prevent new sun damage while preserving the moisture you already have. We carry Cotz SPF Sunscreen’s with SPF’s from 58-60. You can even get them with a hint of tint added to help hide any dark spots that you may already have…cool huh?! Head outside and have some fun!
Massages: How Long Is Long Enough?
Monday, August 15th, 2011
Sometimes just looking at a spa menu can cause stress and since that defeats the purpose of ‘treating’ yourself, I would like to help make your massage decision stress free!
So…How long of a massage should you get? As a massage fanatic myself, I can honestly say that a half hour has never been long enough. However, a half hour massage, if you are in a serious time crunch, have a specific issue, or scheduled at the end of a long day…may be just right for you. The one hour massage is about right for relieving the “everyday” stresses. In that time frame, your therapist should be able to get your whole body relaxed. A ninety minute treatment is great for relieving those everyday stresses plus allowing a little more time for work on one or more specific areas. Clients that have increased or intensified work out schedules are great candidates for the ninety minute Therapeutic Sports Massage. Your therapist can also adjust the intensity of your massage based on your bodies response to the treatment, so make sure to let them know.
Want to add a little ‘boost’ to your massage? Make it an Aromatherapy Massage and choose from the Aroma ‘Mood’ that suits you best…Stress Relief (for relaxation and balance), Enlightening (for meditation and clarity), Energizing (for cleansing and uplifting) or Clearing (for respiratory and muscle relief).
Once you have committed to spending the time with us, help us to help you receive your best massage ever!!
What Does Your Sunscreen Really Do For You?
Monday, August 8th, 2011
Have you ever wondered if that thick, white, pasty lotion you use during the summer is actually doing what it says on the container? Well if you’re most people, it may not be. Protecting your skin is a tricky business and a confusing one at that, so I’ve tried to simplifiy the sunscreen/sunblock, SPF, and UVA/UVB conundrum so you can be confidant in your sunscreen.
In order to choose a correct sunscreen, you need to understand the differences between UVA and UVB rays. UVA (ultraviolet-A) are long-wave solar rays that are less likely to cause sunburn; however, they penetrate the skin more deeply and contribute the most to photo-aging. Recent studies also show that UVA increase UVB’s cancer-causing effects. UVB (ultraviolet-B) are short-wave solar rays that are more likely to sunburn; however, these rays are considered the main cause of basal and squamous cell carcinomas as well as significant cause of melanoma.
Now that you’re armed with UV information, let’s talk about the why some sun protection is called sunscreen or sunblock. (more…)
Treat Summer Skin with a Pevonia RS2 Facial
Thursday, August 12th, 2010“Summer really jacks with my skin! I stay out of the sun as much as possible…wear a hat… use a high SPF Sunscreen… I’m always searching for shade! My skin feels really rough and dry… I mean really sandpaper-like. And I always feel like my nose is so red and is ready to explode off my face! I’ve tried to cover it with make-up but it just isn’t working. I need help!”
This is a scenario I put together from the many different clients that have come to me with this typical summer skin problem. The answer is skin treatments and nutrition. I’ve done a lot of research pertaining to irritated skin and I can tell you with great certainty that the Pevonia RS2 Facial Treatment will calm down, sooth and cool off your hot, swollen, aching, acne skin. I’ve seen it a hundred times! This treatment really excites me because you can see the difference in just one treatment. So imagine what regular treatments every 2 to 3 weeks could do!
We’ll make sure you’re facial bed is comfortable, the music is soothing and you’ll realize that this treatment isn’t about putting “stuff” on your skin. Your (more…)
Anti-Aging From the Inside Out
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010As a kid, our loving parents doled out the fruity flavored chewable vitamins before breakfast or bedtime, and we gladly chomped away at them as more of a treat than a chore. Things are not as easy these days.
Most of us don’t have a handy assistant ready to give us our daily intake of vitamins, and prepare our well-balanced meals for the day. It’s easy to forget about putting proper nutrition and vitamins in our bodies to fuel us for our busy lives, and treat our bodies well.
Good nutrition is key in having healthy and glowing skin. If you want a beautiful garden, you fertilize the soil to make it rich and ready to grow big beautiful plants. Well, your skin is the plant and vitamins are the fertilizer! We are all really good at applying our anti-aging creams and getting our facials every month, but we forget about what goes in must come out.
Pevonia Botanica has really addressed this with their Pevo-Vital drink mixes that are full of complexion boosting anti-oxidants. They remind us of taking the fruity vitamins as a kid, only they are perfect for on the go moms, dads, professionals, and hectic men and women. You simply add the powder pouch to your water bottle, shake and enjoy! Yum!
Some vitamins are effective for skin both internally and externally. Vitamin A can help fight wrinkles and even acne when it is applied externally to (more…)
