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!

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…)

What can I say about Brazilian waxes? 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 at Kimberly Spa, which is very beneficial for sensitive skin areas, NO strips 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 begin to diminish… making it easier for the hair to be waxed the next time. 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 at Kimberly Spa, Brazilians are NOTHING like the horror stories that you’ve heard about. They are only horror stories because they didn’t to Kimberly Spa to have it done!

Kids can be so mean! Growing up I was teased constantly about 2 things. One, being tall enough to reach the treetops, nothing I can do about that (thanks dad). And second…my eyebrows. Or maybe I should say my ‘uni-brow’. That’s right, my least favorite nickname growing up was…….Bertie. As in ‘Bert and Ernie’ of Sesame Street fame. When I was younger it bothered me but, like my height, I didn’t think that there was anything that I could do about it. Boy was I wrong! Thankfully, a dear friend showed me how to go about saying bye-bye to Bertie!
I tried tweezing (since that is what she recommended) but I could never get the right shape, and it took so darn long! With all of the fuzz that grew across my brow it was like pulling weeds along the highway…never ending! There just had to be a better way to keep Bertie at bay. (more…)

These days we are bombarded with information from TV, radio, billboards, print and the internet. This can get quite confusing when you know you want to improve your skin but don’t
know who to trust and how to communicate your concerns. Hopefully we can help with a little technical jargon of some common skin conditions to get you asking the right questions. Knowledge is key in gaining results!
Hyperpigmentation- Darkening of the skin in areas due to sun exposure, a wound, inflammation, acne or injury. Hyperpigmentation can be temporary or permanent. Also known as sun spots, age spots, liver spots, or larger areas of hyperpigmentation can occur during pregnancy, known as melasma. Common Treatments: Skin lightening serum or cream like Visual Changes Lightening Serum daily and facial treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion and Photo Rejuvenation based on your esthetician’s advice.

My 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…)
