Acne

Saturday, August 6th, 2011

Don’t you hate feeling like a teen as an adult? Adult acne is tough to get rid of since it is generally not a sign of bad hygiene but is a sign of hormone imbalances. As someone who suffers from pretty bad adult acne, I have tried just about everything. When I started here at Kimberly Spa, my face was a mess (and still sometimes gets that way).  I got started on a skin care regimen which helped immensely but I still had scarring there as a reminder. Here at Kimberly Spa, we not only have some amazing products, but we also have some great services that help with active acne and we also have services to help get rid of that oh so lovely scarring.
 
The first step to clearing up your face is to get on a good regimen. We have several good cleansers for acne prone skin. My favorite is the Pevonia Spa Teen line and the Agera Salicylic wash. We have plenty of different spot treatments as well. The biggest thing is to not forget to moisturize your face! Most people with acne prone or oily skin don’t think they need to moisturize but that is incorrect. If you don’t moisturize, your skin will become dehydrated causing more severe issues then the acne itself. Your Esthetician can prescribe the regimen that best fits your skin type.

My Plastic Surgeon’s Advice…

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

Kimberly Owner/Esthetician, Kimberly SpaMy Plastic Surgeon’s Advice… was for me to get a total and complete blethroplasty!  What?!  Come on, really?!  Okay, let me start from the beginning because I have so many of my loyal clients asking my advice on Facial Plastic Surgery.

I had noticed a small brown spot on my right shin that through up a red flag.  Just to get it checked out, I scheduled an appointment with a plastic surgeon that did a scar revision on my arm a few years ago, and I thought he did a great job.  The doctor was flanked by a pretty young lady standing beside him taking notes.  He sat down in front of me and took a brief look at my suspicious spot and said, “This is nothing, is there anything else I can do for you?”  Immediately my over-active (more…)
