You Asked About… The Secret to Looking Better with Age

Marika Pelyvas Many people think they have reached the peak of their beauty in their 20’s. But, as the years pass, I see more and more of our clients looking better in their 30’s, 40’s and even beyond in their 50’s! This is mostly because we now take the extra time necessary to care for our skin using high performance treatments and products designed to target the undesirable effects of aging. Skin care industry standards have increased exponentially and many companies are creating products and equipment that show proven results.

The secret to aging well is simple. Empower yourself with the awareness of all treatments and products available. Consult with an experienced professional who can help you choose a skin care regime to preserve and enhance your beauty. Taking care of your skin’s appearance is integral to your physical and mental health.

 

Believe me. Looks do matter!

 

You Asked About… Anti-Aging Makeup

Anti-aging make-up promises to help minimize signs of aging, wrinkles and brown spots even if you are not wearing the makeup. The reality is that anti-aging ingredients including vitamin C, retinol and peptides must be present in the makeup above certain concentrations to see an improvement in the skin. However, beauty companies often don't tell you about the percentages of the ingredients in their products.

A good makeup infused with hydrators will minimize the appearance of wrinkles or will visibly reduce fine lines. Don't expect them to do the lifting and firming of your skin, but they can soften the look of your wrinkles with light pigment and moisturizers.

If you are serious about taking care of your skin and you want to reduce signs of aging, ask a professional skin care therapist to prescribe a personalized program that includes a daily home care regime best suited to your needs. Our specialists are at your service.

 

You Asked About… How to Prevent Teenagers’ Skin Problems

  • Their cell phone should be cleaned daily with rubbing alcohol to remove excess oils and dirt that can collect on the skin’s surface.
  • They should eat brightly coloured veggies rich in vitamin A!
  • Advise them to wash their face with WARM - not hot - water and pat dry their skin instead of rubbing with a towel. This way they won't irritate and dry out their skin to signal the glands to produce more oil.
 

At the Ashgrove Spa we offer Teen Facials to take care of those clogged pores and to clean away pimples. We'd be happy to advise your teenagers about proper skin care.
