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…)

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!

I used to think I was alone in the world with the dreaded mustache! Thank goodness I eventually found out I was not alone. You see, growing up as a tomboy I never indulged in
pampering and everything that went along with it, until I graduated high school. Then it was about looking good and feeling good about myself. One day looking in the mirror, I realized that maybe the years of being a tomboy, well, gave me some unwanted features. There was, what seemed to be, a Tom Selleck going on above my
lip and that had me quite concerned.
I went to a dear friend for advice and she told me it was completely normal and suggested waxing. I was nervous, knowing how sensitive the lip area is, and didn’t want the pain, redness, or bumps that are sometimes associated with it.
After thinking about it, I realized the old saying “beauty is pain” and went for it. I made my friend come with me and got the job done. I have to say it wasn’t bad at all and made me more confident. The area was cleaned before waxing to help prevent bumps and the redness didn’t last as long as I had originally thought it would. It was taken care of with the hel
p of Kalo lotion and the bumps (if I even had any) were gone with a little exfoliation.
Years later, I am still waxing that lip so I don’t have to have the worry of Tom Selleck on my mind.

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.
Broken Capillaries- Small red or pink threads under the skin’s surface commonly found on the cheeks or nose area. These occur when capillary walls narrow and (more…)

“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!”
This 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…)

Kimberly 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…)

Q: “Kimberly, what kind of experience would a new client expect from Kimberly Spa?”
A: “They can expect high level customer service, comfort, and knowing that this spa knows what they are doing!”

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.
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!

Kimberly Spa has NEW Ultrasonic Treatments that our guests are GLOWING over!
Ultrasound may sound familiar to just about everyone, but you’ve probably never heard about the benefits it can give your skin! Ultrasonic Skin Therapy sends ultrasonic vibrations deep (deeper than any other treatment!) into the skin, breaking up dead cells and oil blockages. The skin can then absorb topical treatment products better, thus increasing (more…)
