SKINCARE TIP:Hello lovely ladies. Can I ask you a guestion? Why do people go to Day-spas,Medical Aesthetic Centers,Salons etc…Well, most people probably would say to improve or correct a skincare concern,which is actually right,however many people go just to be touched.The power of touch is amazing. There’s hundreds of medical,holistic, mental health,mind-body wellness,and massage therapy that have proven that “Touch “is significant pathway to healing. In my many years of teaching aesthetic students facial massage manipulations, which takes practice, practice and more practice but is one of most important steps in the Spa-Facial. The facial massage has many benefits: micro-circulation, stimulates barrier functions,muscular tone,and loosen corneocyte adhesion etc… Most importantly, the facial massage revives a sense of well-being and relaxation for the client. The Aesthetician holds that power in her hands 🙌. Well ladies, until next time and remember to be gentle with your skin ♥️

SKINCARE TIP: Hello lovely ladies. Just remember this,inconsistent anything brings minimal results,but consistency brings optimal results. My advice is to stop wasting your money on: Minimal Skincare Products, because you’re never see Optimal Results , and that is a fact. As always, be gentle with your skin.♥️

SKINCARE TIP: Hello lovely ladies.Today let’s discuss “SOAP”, a product we all have used.Remember when our mothers would tell us,” get that soap and you better wash behind those ears and don’t forget to wash your behind “, 😄.Well, in most cases we would use whatever soap was on the tub or in the bathroom . Maybe it was , Ivory. Zest. Palmolive, Dial,etc… Whatever kind it was we used that same soap on our entire body including our face. In those days who knew or could afford to invest in both Facial Bar Soap and a deodorant soap. If you love soap, just remember deodorant soaps could be to drying and could strip the skin of its outer layer of natural oils or it beneficial microbiome.My advice is to first ask yourself what you want from a facial bar soap and does it meet your skincare concerns. If you’re on a budget, like me, go check out CeraVe bar for normal to oily or dry.For mature skin, look for ingredients like rosehip seed oil,jojoba oil, glycerin, ceramides, hylaluronic acid,cocoa butter, just to name a few. If you suffer from onset adult acne, look for ingredients like, sulfur, salicylic acid, kaolin clays, and tea tree oil, benzoyl peroxide,and anti-inflammatories like bisabolol and licorice extract. Remember, when you start to see cracks in your bar soap, it’s time to toss it , those little cracks can harbor bacteria and store your soap in a dish that drains. Well ladies as usual don’t forget your sunscreen and be gentle with your skin ♥️

SKINCARE TIP:Hello lovely ladies.Let’s discuss beautiful Skin of Color and Chemical Peels.Chemica peels have been around for centuries,the Asians,Egyptians,Greeks and Romans all used different forms of chemical peels to rejuvenate the skin.Still today chemical agents are one of the most frequent requested skincare services at Day Spas,Medi Spas and Aesthetic Cosmetic Centers. Peels used correctly,regularly and safely can dramatically improve such skin conditions as,acne,skin discolorations,fine lines and wrinkles,photo-damage,hydration and stimulate collagen renewal.Undoubtedly, chemical peels are effective especially when partnered with other advanced active and non-ablative modalities.Remember,a chemical peel is actually a “controlled burn”of the skin which can range from a very superficial to medium and deep wounding of the skin depending on the peel depth and the type of chemical agent. This is especially significant for people of color,because your pigment cells “Melanocytes “are super active,larger and more spread out and highly reactive and overstimulating these pigment cells could result in light/dark blotches and dark marks. Known as “PIH” post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, an adverse reaction usually in darker skin,which your DNA is the determining factor. My advice is,Less is Better. Consider starting out with a superficial peel, my favorite is Lactic acid (AHA) it’s both an exfoliate and humectant, it brightens and smooth the skin without compromising the skin’s natural moisture factor. However,if you are more sensitive a better choice may be a enzymatic peel.Remember, beautiful ladies your skin is alive and it talks to you, the guestion is are you looking and listening hahahaha 😊. Be gentle with your skin ❤️

SKINCARE TIP: Hello lovely ladies. Now that you understand the purpose and benefits of a daily skincare regimen,allow me to introduce you to what I call , BOOSTERS. These are the specialized products/ingredients that are actually formulated to target and deliver active principles to intercellular levels in the skin. If you really want to see a difference in those signs of premature aging or healthier looking skin, invest the big $$ bucks in the products that mostly stay on your skin overnight. These products may include: antioxidant/collagen and peptide rich overnight creams,serums ampoules,AHAs,and retinols. Ladies without hesitation please don’t forget to use your eye and neck creams faithfully am/pm. Be gentle with your skin ❤️

SKIN TIP: Hey lovely ladies! I wanted to take a moment to discuss another key part of your daily skincare regimen – MOISTURIZER. I know shopping for an effective skincare can be overwhelming, but the benefits of great moisturizer cannot be understated. Without getting too technical, the best moisturizer is multifaceted. It should contain a combination of humectants and emollients, meaning the formulation should attract and increase the hydration or water content of your skin and the emollients will seal in this moisture. I recommend moisturizers, that at a minimum, include, all-powerful topical antioxidants, vitamins and sunscreens. Look for basic ingredients, such as glycerin, urea, hyaluronic acid, and lactic acid. An esthetician can educate you on your skin type and recommend a moisturizer appropriate for your skincare needs.
Be gentle with your skin❤️

SKINCARE TIP: Hello lovely ladies. Let’s discuss another important step in your skincare regimen - Exfoliation. The skin has a natural cellular enzyme controlled process that actually dissolve the bonds that hold those surface dead skin cells together. However, as we age, that metabolic process slows down, which may leave the skin looking dull, rough, and lifeless 😞. Well, there is hope. Exfoliating your skin can help restore and rejuvenate the skin; thus rendering a smoother, more vibrant, healthier complexion. My only advice is to use the correct exfoliant, whether chemical or mechanical, and to avoid adverse reactions and skin sensitivity. Please don’t over do it ladies. Be gentle with your skin. ❤️

SKIN TIP: Ladies don’t ever downplay the cleansing step in your daily skincare regimen, it’s like -Genesis- in the beginning, it’s prepares the stage for everything that follows. Your main concern here is the correct type of cleanser and it’s pH. Without the correct cleanser for your skin type, you unknowingly could be compromising your skin’s barrier function, so learn your skin and be gentle with your skin.❤️
