Exfoliants – A Neccessary Component in Maintaining Healthy Skin
Exfoliants are a necessary component in maintaining skin’s health and protection against the environment. A result of not exfoliating enough can show up as dull skin, poor texture and an increased aged appearance on your skin. Too much exfoliation can result in oversensitive skin. The best recommendation is to create a natural, healthy exfoliation that removes only excess cells while balancing the health of the skin.
At C.Joy Salon we have both chemical and mechanical exfoliants and your therapist will recommend the best product and routine for your skin type. You will see a significant difference in your skins appearance and an increased absorption of the good nutrients from your serum and moisturizer. You will get more benefits from your products and better results for your money.
We recommend Daily Macrofoliant from Dermalogica.
Book an appointment today 425.577.6232 for your skincare consultation and exfoliating facial and we will get you started on the path to gorgeous, healthy, age defying skin.

Properly Cleansed Skin Improves the Appearance and Health of Your Skin
Cleansing the skin is essential, since grease, grime and pollution adhere to your skin and clog the pores, every time your body rids itself of toxins through perspiration.
If you do not thoroughly cleanse your skin, it will look ruddy and un-healthy and can result in minor skin irritations and problems. Your skin type is determined by your age, sex, genes and environment. How you take care of your skin will show on your hands, face and body. It is never too late or too early to start caring for your skin – to accomplish that glow that enhances your beauty.
Here Are Tips For Choosing The Correct Cleanser For Your Skin:
- Shiny and oily skin that is susceptible to pimples and other blemishes should be cleansed by using a “foaming wash”: this offers a clean after using and will not strip your skin of its natural, beneficial oils.
- Dry skin, with a tight feeling, no shine and no open pores, should be cleansed with“cleansing milk” which is formulated for dry skin. Dry skin needs a gentle cleansing formula that will add moisture and replace lost oil in the skin that is replenished by most cleansing milks.
- Combination skin refers to skin having an oily “T zone”, meaning the forehead, mouth, chin and nose. This area of the skin normally has large and open pores and the cheeks are generally normal or dry. Use a cleansing gel to clean your face as will cleanse your skin gently and will not leave your skin harsh and dry after cleansing.
- Mature skin or skin that which is losing its “elasticity”. With this type of skin, facial lines will be apparent on the skin’s surface the skin tends to be very dry. A vitamin “E” rich “cleansing milk” will be perfect for this skin type, it provides nourishment for your skin.
Facial Peels, Scrubs And Exfoliants;
Scrubs and exfoliants are generally formulated with a creamy base that contains fine grainy elements. The finer grains, the more efficient it is in exfoliating the face as it lifts out dirt particles that clog the pores.
Dermatologists recommend using peels, exfoliant and scrubs once a week to deeply clean the pores.
Fine granule exfoliants are gentler on the face than those with larger granules that can irritate or scratch your skin. Peels are generally applied and left on the face to dry for approximately 15 minutes or so before peeling them off. Choose mild peels to avoid irritation.
When problems arise during the use of these products, stop their use and immediately consult a dermatologist.

Must Know Bridal Beauty Tricks
Work your Waves:
Play up your natural assets if your wedding is outdoors and your hair tends to be frizzy, a pulled back ‘do’ can be the perfect touch to your perfect dress
Eye Catching:
Curling your lashes makes them two to three times longer. So, before adding that luxurious mascara try using a metal lash curler to pump up those lashes.
Detox to Depuff:
Consider a detox program to rid your system of the negative effects of your food. These allow you to eat healthy and de-puff – helping you look younger and more energized.
Lose the Shampoo:
Avoid shampooing your hair the day of the wedding in order to keep your hair the perfect texture to maintain and style appropriately. It will also hold its shape far better throughout your big day!
Drink to Radiance:
We have all heard the experts say that drinking eight 8-oz. glasses of water a day will improve skin’s luminosity in no time. Severely dehydrated skin can be the cause of significant stress.
A Few Tricks For A Younger Looking You
Focus on Your Skin
Your makeup will only look as fabulous as your skin does. Professional facials are essential to keep your skin in tip-top shape. In addition, regular skin care at home is also recommended. Cleanse, Tone and Moisturize daily in order to keep your face hydrated and radiant! Don’t forget your sun screen. Tip: use a daily moisturizer with SPF like PTR oil free moisturizer or Eminence Vanilla, both available at Facelogic Redmond.
Use Bronzer Sparingly
Don’t over-do the fake tan look! It is all about the hint of color. Just fluff some bronzer over your cheekbones and along your jaw line.
Flushed Apples
Skin-warming cheek color will complete any look! Though, the older you are, be mindful that the rule of thumb for applying blush is to apply the color higher up on your cheekbones for instant definition.
What Are the Benefits of Routine Facials?
At C.Joy Salon, we believe facials are an essential skincare luxury everyone can enjoy. Here are 4 of the many benefits.
Facials clean more deeply than you can at home
A facial is a luxurious, deep-cleaning treatment that’s wonderfully relaxing to both body and spirit. Every facial includes cleansing, exfoliating, the application of a mask and moisturizer, and therapeutic massage.
Facials promote healthier skin
Routine facials hydrate the skin for a radiant, glowing complexion. They relieve the stress that causes fine lines and wrinkles; they also stimulate collagen to encourage cell renewal, resulting in a more youthful look. Facials help clear up acne, breakouts and other problems.
Facials offer you a complete skin analysis
We evaluate your skin under a magnified lamp, so we can tailor your facial to your specific needs. This helps us uncover any skin issues you’re experiencing as well. We’ll make recommendations for skincare treatments and products, and discuss your regular routine at home.
Facials are a pampering ritual just for you
We all need restorative rituals, and a facial is your time to feel relaxed and renewed. The serene environment envelopes you the moment you settle into our anti-gravity chair — so comfortable, you’ll feel like you’re floating on air.
Massage in particular feels wonderful as it exfoliates skin, tones muscles and stimulates circulation. Gentle music and aromatherapy scents complete the feeling of bliss.
C.Joy Salon invites you to experience all the benefits for yourself. We’d love to see you!
