If your skin is dull and lifeless…microdermabrasion may be the answer, and it is my favorite service!
Fall is an awesome time to concentrate on reversing any damage that has been done during those harsh summer days. Or maybe you have acne scars that you are self-conscious about…microdermabrasion is a non-invasive treatment that exfoliates the dermis (outer layer of skin) and gets rid of those pesky dead skin cells. Your skin becomes smooth, has more of an even texture, and there is NO down time…and that is after just ONE treatment! Just imagine how fresh, smooth, and luminous your skin will look after the recommended 4-8 weekly treatments!
One of my favorite things about micro’s (for short) is that it stimulates collagen, which is responsible for keeping the skin hydrated and helps prevent fine lines & wrinkles. It also helps to increase cell turnover aiding in the removal of blackheads & acne scarring.
Microdermabrasion is (in my humble opinion) one of the BEST things you can do for your skin without using lasers or botox…or, needless to say, ”going under the knife”!

Maybe you should try it! Whether you are looking for hair removal, acne treatments, rejuvenation, anti-aging or just plain old stress reduction, at Kimberly Spa we take pride in addressing your individual concerns.
My own father was very reluctant to get spa treatments when I became an esthetician 15 years ago. He is an “old-school” kind of guy…raised in an era when men never got these types of treatments. At first, I had to talk him in to it…but now he is not only comfortable getting treatments, he actually looks forward to them! He leaves feeling refreshed, with unclogged pores and with younger, healthier looking skin.
A first-time male client (age 50+) who had never been into a spa before describes his experience…”I had a good feeling as soon as I walked in to Kimberly Spa. It was luxurious, and comfortable…while still being clinically professional. They earned my trust.”
Ladies, if you have a boyfriend, brother, father, spouse or just a good male friend who is curious about what a “spa experience” is all about…share our “Look Good~Feel Good” secret and send them to Kimberly Spa! They will love it just as much as you do, and it will be an experience they’ll never forget!

I’ve known for a while now that I wanted to blog about the ill effects of leg crossing. I’d heard that crossing your legs can cause varicose veins along with hip and lower back problems and poor circulation.
Crossing your legs does in fact impede circulation. It puts uneven pressure on your lower back, specifically your sacrum. So why do we do it? 72% of women surveyed (Yahoo Answers) say they cross their legs out of habit. Others do it because it is more comfortable and some were taught that it is polite. Like all bad habits, it takes recognizing the habit before you can break it.
I propose a solution to breaking this potentially painful habit. (more…)

Don’t you just love the way your feet feel after a Kimberly Spa Pedicure? Ever wonder how you can keep them feeling great in between your pedicures? With just a couple quick and easy steps you can have soft heels that will last through the colder months to come.
Your first defense against those scratchy, cracked heels is a great foot file such as the Super Pro 3-in-1 Nickel File that you can find right here at Kimberly Spa. It has three different grades to work in all the problem areas and it’s even ergonomical! Take a minute at the very end of your shower or bath each time, when your feet have had time to soften, to scrub just a few times across the bottom of your foot in the problem areas such as the heels, ball of the foot and any callused areas. It only takes a minute or two each time and your feet will thank you.
The second line of defense is the Cucumber Heel Therapy from Creative Nail Design (also available at Kimberly Spa). I like to keep this product next to the bed and smooth a tiny bit on to the heels right before bedtime. This ensures the cream stays on your foot and not on the floor. Do this a couple times a week and you will have happy, soft feet between your pedicures!

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…)

Monday through Friday, 9-5…and once that afternoon stretch hits you seem to start dragging. Tired, can’t concentrate? Most people would never think of grabbing a glass of water, but this could be just what you need.
Not drinking enough water can be the problem to several of your bodily aches pains and dysfunctions. Next to air, water is the element most necessary for survival, making up 60-70% of the body. H2O assists with digestion, metabolism and joint lubrication. Lack of water intake can cause the digestive system to be less effective; increasing body fat, toxicity in the body; causing heart burn and stomach aches, poor muscle and size, and joint and muscle soreness. Digestion and metabolism cannot happen effectively without the dilution and lubrication of fluids. Kidneys remove uric acid and urea…these need to be diluted down otherwise they build up and can cause kidney stones. Dehydration may (more…)

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…)

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!

What can I say about Brazilianwaxes? They can be intimidating, but I do my best to make you feel comfortable…I’m a talker! I start by cleansing the area…of course! We use hard wax here @KimberlySpa which is very beneficial for sensitive skin and areas, NOstrips involved…yikes! I start at the top outside edges of the area and work my way in and down. I have ways of helping to alleviate the discomfort such as holding the skin tight, using pressure after every pull and maybe a cool towel if needed. For your backside, I have you lay down on your stomach (not on all fours like some places…eeek!).
The first time is always the most nerve-wracking, but don’t worry…by the second visit it’s a piece of cake! The more frequently you wax, the roots of the hair will diminish making it easier for the hair to come out. Your skin becomes smoother and less irritated. Your hair won’t grow back for 3-8 weeks, and over time waxing actually inhibits hair growth making it less and less!!
All in all, Brazilian waxes are totally worth it! Here @Kimberly Spa, Brazilians are NOTHING like the horror stories that you’ve heard about. They are only horror stories because they didn’t come here to have it done!

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!!
