Treat Summer Skin with a Pevonia RS2 Facial

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

“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!”

Pevonia RS2 LineThis 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…)

Anti-Aging From the Inside Out

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

As a kid, our loving parents doled out the fruity flavored chewable vitamins before breakfast or bedtime, and we gladly chomped away at them as more of a treat than a chore.  Things are not as easy these days.

Anti-Aging Skin CareMost of us don’t have a handy assistant ready to give us our daily intake of vitamins, and prepare our well-balanced meals for the day.  It’s easy to forget about putting proper nutrition and vitamins in our bodies to fuel us for our busy lives, and treat our bodies well.

Good nutrition is key in having healthy and glowing skin.  If you want a beautiful garden, you fertilize the soil to make it rich and ready to grow big beautiful plants.  Well, your skin is the plant and vitamins are the fertilizer!  We are all really good at applying our anti-aging creams and getting our facials every month, but we forget about what goes in must come out. 

Pevonia Botanica has really addressed this with their Pevo-Vital drink mixes that are full of complexion boosting anti-oxidants.  They remind us of taking the fruity vitamins as a kid, only they are perfect for on the go moms, dads, professionals, and hectic men and women.  You simply add the powder pouch to your water bottle, shake and enjoy!  Yum!

Some vitamins are effective for skin both internally and externally.  Vitamin A can help fight wrinkles and even acne when it is applied externally to (more…)

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…)

Is SPF Really Important for My Skin?

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Fallene Cotz Water Resistant SPF 58Some men and women would run to buy a new miracle product that has been proven to keep your skin looking as young as possible for as long as possible. And some of you will also say to yourself, “That product just doesn’t and will never exist.” Well, you’re wrong.

The miracle anti-aging product that most of us already have on hand is…. You guessed it, sunscreen. Sun damage, or Photo Damage, is the #1 cause of the appearance of aged skin. It breaks down your collagen and elastin production causing skin to sag, droop, and wrinkle. Sun damage also causes dark spots, freckling and uneven skin tone, or “hyperpigmentation” that can be buried deep within your skin layers and show up years later. Of course there is always the looming dark cloud of skin cancer that can pop up on you.

Using SPF, or skin care products containing SPF, is really the best way to insure your beautiful skin to stay fit for longer. (more…)

Quality VS Quantity Vol 1: The Stress Relief Facial

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

Stress Relief FacialKimberly 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…)
