What Are the Benefits of Using a Facial Toner?

Using a toner is one of those easy-to-skip steps in your skincare regiment as you rush from cleansing to moisturizing. Not so fast! Slipping a well-balanced toner into your routine is well worth the few extra seconds. 

A quality, well-balanced toner will:

• remove any final traces of soap, dirt or soil, which can clog pores
• help to restore your skin’s natural PH
• prepare your face to “accept” moisturizer more readily
• improve your skin’s quality, especially when you chose one specially formulated for your complexion type– – dry, oily or combination. 

How to apply a toner:

If you’ve chosen a spray-on toner, simply spritz your face and allow it to dry. (I use Facelogic Skin Prep – it feels really cool and refreshing.) If your toner is liquid, generously moisten a cotton ball and smooth it on your complexion. Follow up with a moisturizer. 

10 Tips for Clean Skin

You wash your face in the morning and evening, but are you careful to keep it clean during the day? Here’s how:

1. Keep your hands away from your face. Touching or picking blemishes can cause them to rupture and spread bacteria and can even create permanent scarring. 

2. Wash your makeup brushes once a week. Bacteria can build up and then transfer to your skin. 

3. Drink green tea and water to detoxify and hydrate your skin from the inside out. 

4. Always shower or  wash your face after working out. Sweat and bacteria can congest your pores. 

5. Shield your forehead when using hairspray. 

6. Before applying makeup, always wash your hands. 

7. Learn to manage stress, since it produces chemicals that harm your body and skin. 

8. Maintain regular monthly facials for deep cleaning. 

9. Choose makeup and skincare products labeled “noncomedogenic.” They won’t clog your pores, so your skin can breathe.   

10. Change your pillowcase often.

Should You Get a Professional Waxing?

As our sunny weather heats up, you’re no doubt slipping on shorts more often. Which, of course, means you’re shaving more often — all to have prickly hairs poking up on your legs again the next day.

Enough already!

Come on in and we’ll give you satiny-smooth legs. We customize the type of wax we use, so it’s the most effective and least painful. Never had a wax before? Here are some common questions:

1. What are the advantages of waxing over shaving?
It’s faster than shaving every day and results in a much smoother look and feel.  Plus, the more often you wax, the thinner your hair will get.

2. Will it hurt?
Some women would say yes, others would say no. It depends on your pain tolerance and the thickness and type of hair you have. The good news is that if you wax consistently, it will hurt less over time.

3. How long does waxing last?
Your first leg waving will last up to 4 weeks. Over time, though, you can go up to 8 weeks between waxing.

 4. Do you offer bikini line waxing?
Absolutely. Clients come in for all kinds of waxing – facial, legs, bikini and more. The only waxing we don’t do is the Brazillian.
