Surprisingly, products sold by an Esthetician are cost effective! They have high quality ingredients and last longer than cosmetic/retail products which often have silicone, parabens, toxins, carcinogens and waxes.

Follow this simple program and you will have glowing skin! Any additional services or medical treatments will be enhanced when your skin is in good condition and much more resilient.

Acne

Acne is the most common skin condition in the United States, affecting every age group. Although it's common, accurate information about acne can be scarce. This can make it difficult to get clearer skin.

Letting acne runs its course is not always the best advice.
Here's why:

• Without treatment, dark
spots and permanent scars
can appear on the skin as
acne clears.
• Treating acne often boosts a
person’s self-esteem.
• Many effective treatments
are available.

More women are getting acne, it’s not just teens that have acne. A growing number of women have acne in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond. Dermatologists are not sure why this is happening. An Esthetician understands that adult acne can be particularly frustrating. It is important to treat the acne without creating dehydration, dryness and a rough texture. This can exacerbate and accelerate the aging process. With treatments by an Esthetician, you can recondition the skin to reach its optimal health and hydration.

Melasma or brown age spots

I’ve found that the most effective method for melasma is a 3 pronged approach. Home healing/lightening products, facials w/lightening treatments and seeing a dermatologist.
We are constantly damaging the skin and the aging process slows down our skin cell renewal. This approach counteracts that process.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a painless procedure that exfoliates and removes the superficial layer of dry, dead skin cells and regenerates new fresh tissue faster. Microdermabrasion machines can buff and polish the skin using a Diamond tip, brush or a stream of fine crystals. Some systems have suction to vacuum loosen dead skin cells from the face. It works best on problems such as dull skin, light scarring, brown spots, and age spots. The procedure makes way for a new, more youthful,smoother layer of skin to replace the skin that's been treated.This fresh new tissue will absorb and respond more readily to your quality products. Microdermabrasion works on all skin types and colors. It makes subtle changes, causing no skin color change or scarring.

Make your own scrub!!

Recipe

1 T. Organic honey
1/4 t. sugar with raw fine texture
1/2 t. Luminosity Clay mask

For body add
1 t. Organic Coconut oil
1/4 t. Organic Espresso grounds
Use mesh body scrub gloves for the body

Benefits

Honey- Raw organic honey is amazing for your skin, it has antibacterial properties and skin-saving antioxidants. Perfect for acne and anti-aging!

Clay- calcium bentonite clay has a unique composition and can absorb “negatively charged” toxins. People have been using calcium bentonite clay for centuries as a way to detoxify the body, improve digestion, improve skin tone, and more.

Cocoa powder- The antioxidants present in cocoa boost the elasticity of your skin, making it supple and youthful.

Sugar scrubs brighten tired, dull-looking skin to promote healthy, smooth, and flawless skin. Sugar scrubs also fight skin aging in a natural way.

Coconut oil- coconut oil may be linked to some potential benefits for skin, including reducing inflammation, keeping skin moisturized and helping heal wounds. The medium-chain fatty acids found in coconut oil also possess antimicrobial properties that can help treat acne and protect the skin from harmful bacteria.

Espresso grinds- It’s a rich source of
antioxidants:
The environment is full of free radicals (pollution particles, etc.) that wreak havoc on the skin. However, loading up skin with the antioxidants in coffee protects it and bolsters its natural defences. In fact, a study showed that coffee bean extracts can be responsible for skin cell energy preservation due to its free-radical properties.”

It makes skin smooth and bright: Because of its qualities that signal tissue repair, coffee plays a crucial role in regulating cell re-growth, leading to retained hydration (increased collagen) and increased skin elasticity. It
promotes blood circulation, it leads to healthy and energised skin, effectively reducing the swelling of tissues and de-puffing areas of the skin.
Protecting your skin with caffeine may protect it against UV carcinogens. According to another study, caffeine actually inhibits the DNA damage response, thus protecting skin against the adverse effects of UVB. The inhibition of DNA damage response may offer a therapeutic option for non-melanoma skin cancer.

Note- use small amounts of this scrub. More is wasteful and may clog plumbing. Use organic ingredients.

Make your own mask!

Carrot pulp face mask

1/4 c. carrot pulp
2 T. yogurt
1 t. Honey

Mix with your hand and apply to face. Leave on 10-15 minutes. One time use.

-Carrots contain vitamin C, which has healing properties. It helps skin recover faster from external wounds and trauma. Beta-carotene in carrots also reduces skin inflammation, which speeds the healing process.

-Yogurt contains lactic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid, that dissolves dead skin cells. This gentle exfoliation not only helps to create a natural glow and prevent breakouts, but works to diminish the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
When topically applied to the skin, a velvety yogurt face mask will help moisturize, fight acne, prevent premature aging, relieve sunburn, and reduce discoloration. It’s an all-around beauty multi-tasker.
-Raw honey is packed with components beneficial for your skin, especially if you have acne or autoimmune skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis. Even Candidaovergrowth may be controlled by applying honey to your skin.
Raw honey helps balance the bacteria on your skin, which makes it a great product to use for acne. Manuka honey has been studied as an anti-acne product and found to be significantly more effective than other popular products.
Honey speeds up your skin cells’ healing processes. If you have blemishes or an eczema outbreak, honey that’s unpasteurized could speed healing and reduce inflammation.
