I hope that everyone enjoyed their holidays. My weight shows that I did...in the "food department". Now it is time for me to get back to normal consumption.
Take this time to take advantage of our new Laser Hair Removal prices to get rid of one time-consuming part of skin-care. Check out the prices on the website.
As you start on your goals for better skin, I thought that I would mention that there is a myth out there that layering products with different SPF numbers will add more SPF protection; this is untrue. Also a product with SPF 50 is only marginally more protectuve than SPF 15, so don't waste your money. A good produce of 30 SPF is sufficient.
I had a call from a client before Christmas after she bought and tried the Obagi Roseaclear Sun block. She called to thank-me for the recommendation. To her, it was a real blessing...went on like silk and still gave her the protection she wanted.
The other factor was the natural products of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Joynjoyed their holdidays. My weight shows that I did... in the

Holiday Specials and Follow-up on Obagi Results
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I know my treadmill seasons will be longer this week.
Check out our website for Holiday specials and save the Open House date of December 10th. The time is 5-7pm.
I mentioned returning to the Obagi system for my pigmented areas. I have been on the products only two weeks and the peeling has been going on. The really exciting thing is that this is one of first time (in years) that I can use a light foundation without concealer. I am on my way to my goal of just using moisturizer and sunblock!

Clarisonic News
Yesterday before we left for work my husband had QVC on the screen, and they were promoting Clarisonic which I am sure everyone has heard of as one of Oprah's "favorite things". This is a handheld make-up cleansing system with a rotating head. The inventor-- a Dr. Ron or Rod was explaining all of the features. This brush features a nicely shaped holder, the charger and three trial sizes of cleanser. There is also a card that informs the purchaser that with registration, they can choose a second brush.
I was surprised that the price on QVC was the same as ours at Ageless and if you come into the store you do not have the shipping and handling charge.
The inventor mentioned that the brush cleans the face six times better than a washcloth, and besides removing make-up, also takes away much of the outer layer of dead skin. This process in turn makes skin products last longer,because less has to be used to penetrate.
The brush also keeps a thirty day charge and is waterproof so you can keep it in the shower. I have been using the brush for quite awhile and like the results, the fact that pleasing intermittent beeps alert you to move the brush to the next area of the face and that I will be able to take it with me without the charger when I travel. Any skin cleanser can be used so if you are on any skin-care system from us, you can use the cleanser that is the brand you already have. My husband keeps his personal one in the shower, but I am more excited with the travel ease.
If you have given us an up-to-date e-mail, you will receive the blast on the December specials. We will have a special Champagne Holiday-Glow facial the whole month for $125. This feature includes a Cranberry/pomegranate facial served with either Champagne or Sparkling Cider with cranberries. There are other specials mentioned on the e-mail and will also be on the website. Hold the time and date for our Christmas Open-house which will be Wednesday, Dec. 9th from five to seven pm. There will be drawings and other specials. To holiday cheer...! Joy

Obagi already showing results
I mentioned in an earlier blog that the Obagi Condition and Enhance kit adds to Laser treatments and injections. Last week I went back to my Obagi system to enhance the Cynosure Elite Laser treatment of my pigment treatment. I have only been back to the system for five days, but I already can see my pigmented areas lightening more. The other benefit is that it will make any wrinkles less predominant as it penetrates into the dermis and transforms this at the cellular level, resulting in improved surface texture.
Some clients are purchasing the travel kit which is less (of an expense) and allows them to see results and then continue with the larger kit later. Since in prescriptive products, less is better than more, the end-product allows one to use less make-up. Happy Turkey Day...Joy

Spray Tanning Tips and Latisse Results
In an earlier blog, I mentioned tips for post care of a spray tan to make sure that your tan lasts. Today, I am going to offer pre-care for airbrush tanning: 1. Exfoliate completely and do not apply any lotions two hours prior to tanning. 2. Wear dark, loose fitting clothes and shoes (like flip-flops) to help prevent uneven color on your body. Do not exfoliate or use a loofah before your next tanning session.
If you need to review the post-treatment, it appears in an earlier blog.
Latisse is still our most requested product. Latisse works on the majority of people. Check with your eye-professional if you have glaucoma. Latisse.com is an excellent website that you can refer to before you order your product held for you here. There are excellent visuals, and questions and answers. Make sure that you are committed for best results and remember that everyone does not experience a tremendous difference in four weeks. It takes sixteen weeks for the full transformation.
Our staff members that are using Latisse are very satisfied. Join the group with longer, fuller lashes! Joy

Sun Damage Repair Continued
My last blog concerned sun damage prevention. Our specials this month have several procedures related to repairing sun damage.
You can have the Chemi-abrasion which includes a chemical peel and a microdermabrasion which is a $40 savings. We also have brought $99 microderms (Wednesday only).
Don't forget our Laser treatment for brown pigmented areas of the face (you need a consult with the Nurse Practioner for this) and our Obagi kit.
I recently (in our spa in Sugarloaf), had the second of three Laser treatments on my brown pigmented areas and I plan on returning to my Obagi kit to supplement this. The Obagi also retexturizes the skin; making lines less noticable. If you have been on the Obagi for a long time, please talk to one of our Aestheticians about switching to SkinCeuticals for awhile to maintain and return hydration to your skin. Joy

Repairing Sun Damage
Prevention is always cheaper and easier than treatment. This season (as the rain and the leaf color reminds us), we are not as involved in sunning as we have been. If you are one of the lucky ones who have not had much sun damage, a good physical sunscreen can be obtained here at Ageless and questions of ingredients can be answered.
Recently there has been a lot of media coverage on sun-bed tanning. If you have been a constant user, try our spray tan. You can with experience get a good facisimile of a sun tan without the damage. We have seen several clients who have used sun-beds constantly and have presented with damage that can not be reduced.
To make your spray tan a pleasant experience you need to be clear about the darkness you want, and follow the post-treatment protocols to have your tan last. It is best to wear light-fitting clothing so your color will not rub off. Avoid exercising for a day and try to put off showers until the next morning or your "tan" may wash away. We cannot refund for a spray tan if post-treatment protocols were not followed or you wait to complain till several days or weeks later. Come in right away so we can help you understand your results.
Even with adequate protection of a physical sun-block, there are many options available here to reduce the ravages of too much sun.
Our specials are also an incentive this month to start you on the way. Chemical peels and laser treatment packages of many kinds can be purchased and you can be on your way to cleaned up skin. Come in and take advantage of our free skin-consult to determine with your aesthetician the best option for your skin type.
