Hello Kimberly Spa go-ers! If you have been feeling like most Omahan’s this spring, you definitely need a boost of Vitamin C to help your immune system fight off the nasty cold and allergy bugs going around! Your body is not the only part that needs vitamin-c…Your skin does too! Kimberly Spa’s Magic C Facial is a great preventative and healing service. It gives you a huge Vitamin-C boost and it is also extremely relaxing because of the fabulous Esthetician’s that give you the extra love that other Spa’s do not!
You don’t know what Vitamin-c does for your skin? Well, here’s the scoop:
It’s not a huge secret that Vitamin C is good for the body but some people don’t know that it is also a very effective antioxidant that helps boost your skin’s defense against free-radicals. Free-radicals are unstable molecules that age the skin. The effect of too much sun, alcohol consumption, high altitudes are all major causes of free-radicals. Vitamin C strengthens the structural support and resiliency of your skin by increasing the production of collagen.
The Magic C Facial begins with your Esthetician cleansing and examining your skin. They will then put the appropriate enzyme mask on your skin under steam for about 10 minutes. Once the enzyme mask is removed with warm water, the magic begins! Your Esthetician will begin the first step to your vitamin c boost (more…)

A “Bucket of chicken, sweats, and watch T.V. in separate rooms.” …that’s how Frankie and Mike Heck from “The Middle” will be spending their Valentine’s Day…is that your idea of a romantic Valentine’s? I don’t know about you, but after being married for 32 years, I still love dressing up and having a romantic dinner with my best friend!
Why do we sometimes wait to have a reason to look our best? I love a comment my future daughter-in-law made recently. She came in for a facial and was all dressed up like she had a special place she either came from or was going to. She said “After wearing scrubs and workout clothes all the time…I NEED to do my hair and make-up…and dress up! Sometimes I just need to feel pretty again!” I love that! We get ourselves in a rut and don’t realize it. I read a quote from Rachel Zoe…she said that in her mind being over dressed isn’t a bad thing at all…what could be the worst case scenario? That you’re the best dressed person in the room? (more…)

Color is everywhere; It’s in the iris of your eyes, the hair on your head, the paint on the wall, and of course in your food. Nobody says it better than Skittles with their slogan “Taste the Rainbow”. Some may think they are only referring to their brightly colored candies, but maybe they had something else in mind! Color plays a large part of an every day life, but did you ever think about the impact those colors actually have on you? In this series of ‘color’ blogs, you’ll learn about all the colors of the rainbow…plus a few extras!
As everyone knows, the first color of the rainbow is red. Red is the brightest color with the longest (more…)

Feeling stressed?
The holiday season is creeping up on us quick! This time of the year can cause a lot of stress.
While everyone knows that stress can take a toll on a person physically and psychologically, it also can lead to other problems, such as acne, brittle nails or even hair loss. When you become stressed, your cortisol level rises. This in turn causes an increase in oil production, which can lead to oily skin, acne and other related skin problems. Professionals have also found that stress has a negative effect on the barrier function of the skin, resulting in water loss that inhibits the skin’s ability to repair itself after an injury. Scientist’s and Doctor’s have said that skin rejuvenation procedures such as Facials, Pedicures, Massages, (more…)

Change can be such a scary word for some, but to me it’s FUN!!!! Nothing stokes my fire more than a positive change! Okay, so I’m getting ready to have another birthday…52 years to be exact, and I’m always looking for a way to change. Maybe it’s time to spice up YOUR life and change something about YOURself!
I’ll never forget the day I discovered eye shadow. I was 13 years old attending 7th grade at my Jr. High school. Yes!! I had graduated from the Little Leagues to, what I considered at the time, “The BIG leagues!”
Just a few weeks before I started 7th grade, I went to a garage sale in one of my friends’ neighborhoods. The lady holding the sale was a cosmetologist. She had “used” make-up for sale and I found a brown eye shadow that I thought was so crazy dark that I decided to buy it for 5 cents!
It really wasn’t until about the 2nd week of school that I got brave and decided to wear it. I would always show up for school early so I could sit on the steps leading to the front door of the school and chat “with the people”. That day, (more…)

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!

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…)

Women love to shop and some guys do, too. I used to spend many precious hours of my time shopping for just the right shoes, just the right jeans, just the right spa service… for just the right price. I used to be able to rely on the friendly sales person or service provider for any extra information I needed… and maybe they had a little experience with what I was looking for too. But lately I’ve found that kind of “service” to be non-existent.
I may be over 40…okay…50, but I’m still in the loop and I’ve discovered GOOGLE! You can find almost any type of information you need on what I call “the best invention since false eyelashes”. But getting through all the wordiness (is that even a word?) typically associated with whatever it is you are trying to find “the best of” … brings me to my knees! I am finding that I spend almost just as much time searcing the web as I used to spend trekking around in my Sketcher Shape-ups… spending my hard earned dollars on gas driving from store to store!
So what’s my point? While spending thousands of hours working in the skincare/customer service industry, I’ve quizzed my clients on exactly what it is they are looking for… what results are they expecting… and giving them opinions based on those many years of experience. And boy have I had experiences!
Ok, so here it is! The looking is over! You’ve found it… I’ve created it! The perfect facial, the perfect waxing, and the perfectly relaxing professional experience… With the results you’ve only HEARD about. Wow, does it feel good knowing that every time you come to Kimberly Spa for a service, you’ll walk out completely satisfied! Now if only shopping for nude colored, platform heels was this easy!

Now I know why they call menopause “the change of life”. Mood swings, anxiety and night sweats, oh my! But now pimples too??? I already cry when they send a Biggest Loser contestant home! Far beyond my freshman year, I’ve packed on the freshman 15….ok 20, but who’s counting…. Please stop counting! But now Mother Hormone has given me the skin of a 13 year old girl entering puberty?
How interesting that all of the women that have crossed over “the change” tell you all the wonders of menopause – no cramps, no bloating, no monthly visit from Aunt Flow…sounds great, right? But what about the ACNE??? No one mentioned this to me! Will my little pink estrogen pill help with that too? Sadly …no.
At least 10% of women suffer from menopausal acne. Hormonal changes during menopause, are a lot like the ones we experience during puberty. And I don’t know about you, but please put that at the top of my list of times I do not want to revisit. Our skin has glands that produce oil, known as Sebum. Although our skin cells die and regenerate, during hormone changes this becomes exasperated. Therefore, we end up with more oil and dead skin cells than we want or need. Hair follicles will be more likely to become clogged with dead skin cells and Sebum during our hormone rages, thus causing pimples. So what do we do to end these frustrating little bumps? (more…)
