An ingrown hair is when a hair grows sideways or curls back into the skin.  If the pore the hair grows in is clogged or blocked the hair is forced to grow irregularly.  They are most common in areas we shave or wax, and in people with curly hair.    Some symptoms of an ingrown hair are itching skin, red bumps, small pus filled papules, and sometimes even a rash.  Ingrown hairs can sometimes cause discomfort and can even lead to infections or scaring.  If you see an ingrown hair, you can use a warm wash cloth on the area and tweeze it out. This may cause a slight discomfort, but you want the ingrown hair out so it won’t lead to infections.

None of us want any of these symptoms, so you may ask…How do we prevent these awful ingrown hairs?  Easily!  The most effective way to make sure to keep your ingrown hairs away is to exfoliate… Exfoliate…EXFOLIATE!  Exfoliating is simply a method of sloughing off the layer of dead skin cells that can build up on your skin.  You can exfoliate in OR out of the shower, and it’s best to focus on the area you shave or wax regularly.

We have many products and services here at Kimberly Spa to help keep away those pesky ingrown hairs, and help keep your skin feeling soft and smooth.  My personal favorites are the Full Body Exfoliations, and the Sugar scrubs! We also have detox bath gels, and scrubby gloves to help exfoliate the skin.

  So remember, before and after you shave or wax, EXFOLIATE!

Parafango is a mixture of ‘Fango Mud’ and Paraffin.  Fango Mud is from the sea and contains dehydrated ‘mud’.  This mud contains healing ingredients, such as minerals & converted plant parts.  Some of the benefits of the Parafango Mud alone are: Detoxifying properties, Stimulates blood circulation, Soothes sore muscles, & it relieves tense muscles, spasms, and joint pain. 
 
In the Kimberly Spa Parafango Full Body Wrap:

                – We first use a professional exfoliating cream to remove dead/dry skin. We then find the right serum to help combat your specific concerns.  The Aminocel A.H.A Serum effectively treats hard cellulite. It is very rich in Iodated Extensine, Ruscogenine, Caffeine and Lemon extracts, and it breaks down fatty tissues while stumping “orange peel”. The Aminodren Serum helps with slimming and draining. It contains, Fucus Vesiculosus, Guarana and L-Carnitine. Decongests tissues, fights liquid retention working on adipocytes, mobilizing and destroying fat. Your Esthetician will then apply the Parafango Mud, wrap you up and let you relax for 30 minutes.

                – Once the mud is removed, Your esthetician will apply the lotion that helps most with your needs. The Aminofirm Cream is a multi-phased firming cream enriched with elastin, collagen and centella extracts promotes elasticity and toning of the skin after the treatment. Increases skin elasticity and can be used as an anti-stretchmark cream. The Lipoaminocel Cream effectively drains tissues and helps with the elimination of toxins. 
 
For best results, the Parafango Full Body Wrap should be done in a series of treatments. We do not promote this as a weight loss treatment but as a toning and detox treatment.  This is personally my favorite body wrap because of the amazing benefits you get in such a short time.

My favorite way to do it is with a Total Body Exfoliation…I just LOVE it!  It sluffs off the old, dead skin cells and hydrates my skin at the same time.  Plus, regular skin exfoliations speed up the skin renewal process allowing healthier skin cells to take their place.  It is a great way to relieve stress, and encourages natural blood flow.

Salt scrubs are perfect for rough, coarse skin that needs a little extra love.  Sugar scrubs are best for sensitive skin.  Try adding a little aromatherapy oil to your scrub…it’s a great way to enhance your treatment.

• Stressed?  Try adding Lavender, Chamomile or Sandalwood to ease
• Poor Memory?  Add some Rosemary.
• Postnatal Depression? Adding some Bergamot, Chamomile or Neroli to help lift your spirits.
• Anxiety? Cedarwood, Lavender and Bergamot are soothing and calming.
• Mental Fatigue?  Adding a little Peppermint makes you feel like you’ve just had a 15 minute power nap!

Q:  “What should I do to prepare for my first facial?”
A:  “If you are coming in the morning, avoid putting any makeup on.  Cleanse and moisturize your skin before leaving home, wear comfortable clothing.  If you are concerned about your hair style, bring a hat or hair band to pull it back after.  We offer a ladies lounge to prepare yourself for the rest of your day, including an available shower, blow dryers, lighted makeup mirrors in a comfortable powder room setting.”

Q:  “What if I don’t know what kind of facial to get?”
A:  “That is where your consultation over the phone should take place.  We do recommend starting out with a Stress Relief Facial, particularly if you’ve never had a facial, or if it’s been longer than 3 months since your last facial.  Within the Stress Relief Facial, it lets us see how your skin reacts, and it gives you an opportunity to get to know the spa and your esthetician.  Usually when you’re coming into a spa for the first time, you are a little nervous.  This facial will relieve the stress of your skin, your body and your mind.”

Q:  “Do you offer Massage?”
A:  “Yes!  We have a beautiful private massage room designed for comfort and relaxation.  We also offer treatments such as the Stress Relief Facial, the Parafango Body Wrap, and Men’s Back Wax Back Facial that incorporate massage techniques.”

Q:  “What should I do to prepare for my first Brazilian Wax?”
A:  “Up to a couple hours before coming in, shower and gently exfoliate the area to be waxed and apply a body moisturizer.  You must make sure that the hair growth is at least ¼ inch long, the wax needs to have something to adhere to, to have an effective waxing.  Everybody has a different rate of hair growth, but the average length of time between shaving is about two weeks.   If your hair is very long, do not trim it.  Your service provider can take care of that for you.”

Q:  “Do men come to the spa often?”
A:  “We actually have a large male clientele!  Men like the privacy of Kimberly Spa, and they appreciate feeling confident with the knowledge our service providers display.  Most males have had a history experienced breakouts not treated with proper treatments the right products, and maybe picking.  Our services cross both genders, and our products are scientifically formulated to help reduce past abuse to facial skin.  Kimberly Spa treats the problems with results oriented services and men should understand and feel comforted in knowing they need hair removal from their nose, ears, and eyebrows to give them a groomed appearance.”

Q:  “Why are there sealed doors to the spa?”
A:  “The doors are sealed to create total privacy for our guests at the time of their treatments.  We have found it to be more convenient for the guests that come in after your first initial visit you know exactly what to do.  This also gives you a sense of privacy when you’re waiting in our comfy lobby.  When you check in to the computer kiosk, this pages your personal service provider that you have arrived for your appointment.  You will be greeted by your own personal service provider, and you end your time at the spa with your service provider.  You are never handed off to a receptionist that can keep you waiting on the phone with other guests, or talking with other guests.  My experience working in spas with receptionists has given me insight to how important it is for our guests deserve to have their service provider’s complete and total attention.  This helps to build a personal relationship with your service provider.   If you need to use the restroom facilities after you have checked in for your appointment check in again that you are “here for other reasons” and a spa coordinator will escort you to the restroom or help with whatever you need.”

Q:  “What makes Kimberly Spa different from getting my pedicure or manicure at a cheaper salon?”
A:  “We use odorless nail enhancement products, sanitation levels are at their highest.  We will never hide sub-standard products in deceiving containers, such as using Windex as a sanitation spray.  Our pedicure chair is completely sanitizable and pipe less.  We take time to thoroughly clean and sanitize our tools and pedicure chair in between clients.  We provide a private tranquil that both men and women will be able to relax with full privacy.”

Q:  “Why are your skin care products better than the products at my local drug store?”
A:  “Through my years of experience with many different skin care products both over the counter and professional cosmesuedical grade I have seen the results that the products we carry produce.  I will only offer the best!  There are literally thousands of different skin care names and I have taken my experience to do the research for you.”

Q:  What if I can’t make it to my scheduled appointment?”
A:  “We do ask for a 24 hour courtesy call to reschedule.  Our service providers get paid only if our guests come in for their appointments.  Just how the guests would feel disappointed in having their appointment canceled, our service providers deserve to have the right to make an income.  Many of our service providers have treatment regimens personally designed for your skincare needs if you don’t follow what is recommended, your service provider cannot guarantee the results you are looking for.  We take your skincare needs very seriously.”

You’ve entered into the most important decision in your life. And through all of the endless preparations and hectic days that lie ahead, don’t forget the most important person in all of this…. YOU! It’s important that you look good so you feel good. After all, the Wedding Day is ALL ABOUT YOU!

Looking your best for Wedding Photos, and of course The Big Day, can be easy. If you have concerns about your skin, whether they are minor or major, there are facial treatments available that can control, and in some cases, even cure those problems. For example, there is no cure for acne and no pill that can turn back the hands of time.  But, there are facial treatments to help control acne breakouts, as well as treatments to smooth and soften lines and wrinkles in the skin, as well as sun-damaged and sagging skin. A consultation with an experienced Esthetician at Kimberly Spa will help you determine the course of action you need to take to give you the look you’ve always wanted. 

 We recommend starting your spa experience with a Stress Relief Facial.  This treatment includes all the relaxation and skin care consultation you could ask for!  We take extra time the first time we meet you to examine your skin care needs and goals, so that your facial and home care are customized just for you.  We hand select an at-home skin care regimen for each of our clients from our wide variety of retail products that will help enhance your facial results as well as get you to your skin goals as fast as possible.

Once your skin is evaluated, we can then recommend treatments can include future facials, microdermabrasion, hand and eye treatments, as well as waxing. These treatments can help with acne breakouts, scarring, dark circles around the eyes, hyper-pigmentation (sun-damage spotting), rough looking hands, as well as un-wanted facial and body hair.

Your big honeymoon plans will be complimented by the ease of not fussing over unwanted body hair.  Starting your body waxing early will help to enhance your results when it’s time to fly off to your REAL relaxation!  The more frequently body hair is waxed, the slower and softer it will grow back.  Some clients experience dramatically less body hair after a few treatments with the help of Kalo Hair Growth Inhibitor Cream.

For all-over body glow, try one of our Full Body Facials.  We use a mixture of Parffin Wax and Deep Sea Mud that is painted on your entire body, then you are wrapped up tight in foil and wool blankets.  As your body warms, toxins and even cellulite is released from your skin.  This treatment will detoxify and refresh your skin, all while giving you a little relaxation right before your big day.
