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!”

Pevonia RS2 LineThis 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, 2010

As 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.

Anti-Aging Skin CareMost 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…)

Is SPF Really Important for My Skin?

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Fallene Cotz Water Resistant SPF 58Some men and women would run to buy a new miracle product that has been proven to keep your skin looking as young as possible for as long as possible. And some of you will also say to yourself, “That product just doesn’t and will never exist.” Well, you’re wrong.

The miracle anti-aging product that most of us already have on hand is…. You guessed it, sunscreen. Sun damage, or Photo Damage, is the #1 cause of the appearance of aged skin. It breaks down your collagen and elastin production causing skin to sag, droop, and wrinkle. Sun damage also causes dark spots, freckling and uneven skin tone, or “hyperpigmentation” that can be buried deep within your skin layers and show up years later. Of course there is always the looming dark cloud of skin cancer that can pop up on you.

Using SPF, or skin care products containing SPF, is really the best way to insure your beautiful skin to stay fit for longer. (more…)

Finding the Perfect Spa Package

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

Kimberly Spa Packages and Gift CertificatesAh yes, the glazed look on a man’s face when he stops in to buy a gift certificate is priceless. Some people have just never been to a spa before and don’t quite understand what it is we do and how we do it. We blame this on movies and television that show a group of four girls lined up on massage tables in a wet room with a big bathtub of mud to sit in after. Places like this do exist and yep, they’ll clean out your wallet. These types of spas are relaxing, but they don’t tend to offer lasting results, and you won’t find too many in little ‘ole Nebraska!

If you’d like to book a “spa day,” here are some great things to consider:

1. What is your budget? We offer a number of packages that range from about $70 for a Foot Detox Package, all the (more…)

Quality VS Quantity Vol. 2: The Kimberly Spa Pedicure

Friday, May 14th, 2010

Kimberly Spa PedicureWarm water bubbling around your feet, a sweet aroma in the air, a leather massaging chair gently working out your kinks, soft surround sound music, and an hour to yourself just to relax.  This is what women WANT from their pedicure appointment.  Unfortunately, we have seen the American pedicure be industrialized down to a quick anything but relaxing half hour that leaves us with painted toes and not much else.

It’s a great thing that foot and nail grooming has become so socially standardized, but it causes concern about how quickly these pedicures take place in other salons and spas.  Everyone has heard on the news about nail salons getting sued and shut down over the spread of fungus and disease.  Remember Paula Abdul’s fight against California to toughen up the sanitation regulations of these “quickie” nail spas?

As part of Kimberly Spa’s “quality vs. quantity” mission, we are proud to say we created the Spa Pedicure that is quite (more…)

Quality VS Quantity Vol 1: The Stress Relief Facial

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

Stress Relief FacialKimberly has made it her personal mission to deliver quality services at a fair price since the first day she opened the door of her little esthetics studio.  Now as a spa, we strive to collectively meet Kimberly’s quality and customer service standards on a daily basis.  We are proud to offer the best value in the spa industry in our area!

Some spas have crafty schemes to book ‘em, buff ‘em and boot ‘em.  Who wants to be herded in, hardly get a moment to relax and rushed out the door while the next person practically bowls you over on their way in?  We know we don’t like to be treated this way, and we NEVER want to see our clients treated this way!

A great example of our “quality vs. quantity” mission starts with a little history about our now famous Stress Relief (more…)

It’s Pedicure Season!

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

Kimberly Spa PedicureSummer is almost here and it’s time for those cute peep-toe shoes, sexy strappy sandals and heel baring mules! But take a good look at your feet and ask yourself if the skin of your precious feet really look as good as they can? 

Do your feet look old?  Do you notice dry flaky skin? Cracked callus heels and ugly cuticles? Are you STILL going to those “nail factories”?
 
First of all, it’s important to know that the nail is made of a hard protein called keratin. Because of that, the nail is able to protect the ends of the fingers and toes from trauma. That’s extremely important to keep in mind. It’s best to have your nails groomed professionally every 4 to 6 weeks.

Acne… Ugh!

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

Acne is genetic. Thus when both parents suffer from acne, three out of four of their children are likely to share the same problem… Because acne is a dominant gene. Virtually 100% of boys and 90% of girls suffer from acne, at least occasionally. But men and women of all ages can be affected so that, even if you were among the lucky few who missed the curse of acne as teenagers, you may still run into trouble later on. More than 50% of people over 25 experience acne break-outs well into their 40’s and beyond.

acne facial treatment

There are several different types of acne. 95% of all acneis called Acne Vulgaris. This occurs when a channel from which a hair follicle has emerged, or is about to emerge, becomes blocked. The sebaceous gland attached to the lower part of that follicle continues to produce its oily sebum. But since the clog stops the sebum from emerging, it stays inside the channel and expands into a balloon full of the stuff! Before long, the sebum (warm, oily and nutritious) attracts bacteria and starts to putrefy. The result is a nasty pimple!
