Are you going trick-or-treating this year? Maybe taking the kids trick-or-treating? Or perhaps just buying bags of candy for all the trick-or-treaters? You know you’re going to give in a little and have some of the candy you bought or earned walking with the kids to all the houses. If you are going to give in a little try giving in to something that’s going to help your skin… chocolate! That’s right, I said help, not hurt. The myths that chocolate causes breakouts are just that…myths! In fact chocolate, in moderation, has large powerful antioxidants in the cocoa (the main ingredient in chocolate). Cocoa is derived from cocoa beans. It contains 10,000mg of antioxidants per 100 g of cocoa. The antioxidant properties in cocoa can help prevent free radicals from damaging the elastin and collagen in the skin preventing wrinkles and discoloration.
Take into consideration the darker the chocolate the better. Dark chocolate also contains vitamins D and E which are great for your skin and body. In a study woman who took a ½ cup of cocoa with 329 milligrams of antioxidants a day for 12 weeks saw: (more…)

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!

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…)

I have a friend that said I looked really happy in this photo. I was, and I am every time I get to spend time with my horse! I think that everyone needs to get themselves outside and into nature as often as they can. However you choose to spend your outdoor time, taking care of your skin can be simple as long as you remember to ‘Prepare, Prevent & Preserve’ the health of your skin! When you dress to go outside you think about the weather, the temperature etc…right? Do the same for your skin…to help prepare for the day. If your skin is oily or acne prone make sure to wash your face as soon as you’re done sweating to help prevent those annoying breakouts. I have an easy, inexpensive way for you to be more proactive…Wet some Viva paper towels with distilled water, add 1 very small drop of your Visual Changes Skin Clearing Cleanser to each towel and place in a zippy bag. Voila! You’re ready for even the most rugged outdoor activities! Sunscreen, of course, is a must have item for your outdoor lifestyle that will help prepare, prevent and preserve your skin. Prevent new sun damage while preserving the moisture you already have. We carry Cotz SPF Sunscreen’s with SPF’s from 58-60. You can even get them with a hint of tint added to help hide any dark spots that you may already have…cool huh?! Head outside and have some fun!

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…)

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.
Most 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… 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…)

Some 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…)
