Japanese Scientists using brain scanning equipment discovered that women experience a wave of euphoria and optimism as they prepare for their make-up routine. So it isn't just about feeling good after we've put on our makeup. We even feel good before, just imagining how we're going to look. It sends us into paroxysms of joy. We are so easy to please!
Now days skin health became the number one concern with makeup and we are interested in products that don't just mask things but contribute to the health of our skin. Jane Iredale's foundations, powders and concealers allow the skin to breath and function normally. They are also anti-inflammatory, act as antioxidant and give protection from UVB and UVA. I am so grateful that we offer this cutting edge product at Ashgrove Spa.
Come into the spa and we'll check if your makeup color needs to adjust for your winter complexion.
You Asked Me About The secret to look better with age
It used to be that being in our 20s was the best looking decade in our life and we thought we reached the peak of our beauty. But as the years pass I see more and more our clients looking better in their 30s, 40s and even beyond their 50s.
Part of this change is that we now take extra time to care for ourself with high performance treatments and products designed to target the undesirable effects of aging. Skin care has high standards and companies are creating products and equipments 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 to choose your skin care regime to preserve and enhance your beauty. Taking care of yourself is a part of your physical and mental health.
You Asked Me About Anti-Aging Makeup
The promise is that anti-aging make-up will help minimize signs of aging, wrinkles and brown spots even after no longer wearing the makeup.
The reality is that anti-aging ingredients - vitamin C, retinol and peptides in the makeup must be present above certain concentrations to see improvement in the skin. But 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 you can soften the look of your wrinkles with light pigment and moisturizers.
If you are serious about taking care of your skin and want to reduce signs of aging, ask a professional therapists to prescribe a personalized program at the clinic that includes a daily home care regime best suited to your needs.
You asked me about how to prevent Teenagers' skin problems
- Their cell phone should be cleaned daily with rubbing alcohol
- give them bright colored 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 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.
