Collagen: Strength in Beauty

July 9, 2020 by IndivaSpa

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. It is found in bones, muscles, skin and tendons. Collagen provides structure to the body and helps to hold tissue together. So why do we need it as a supplement? Collagen taken can help our bodies produce more of its own.

According to Yale University, there are many benefits to Collagen. Collagen is made in our bodies from the foods we consume. Over time, as we age, our bodies break down collagen. Even though there are studies that show little improvement during a short period of time of collagen therapy for osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and other diseases, currently.

Imagine if we could harness the essential benefits of collagen by taking it. Imagine if we helped our own bodies produce collagen by taking it over the course of our life. Studies show a collagen supplement could help impact our bodies in a great way. We know that collagen naturally decreases as we age. Along with a healthy diet, and good lifestyle habits, collagen can help.

Light and Life Back Into Your Skin

June 19, 2017 by IndivaSpa

Why is following a basic skincare regimen important?

Following a basic skincare regimen (cleanser, toner and moisturizer) is important to keep

skin balanced and healthy. If skin is too dry, it reacts by creating sebum (oil), causing oily or combination skin. If skin is too oily, it can lead to unwanted breakouts and the appearance of larger pores. It is important to cleanse, tone and moisturize so skin maintains optimal equilibrium.

Think about it.  Your face is always exposed and naked.  Take a moment to imagine what it comes across.  What is in the air, whether outside or inside?  Are you in environments with other people?  Are you exposed to the sun?  What touches your face other than your fingers?  Do you sweat?  Do you think sweat can make other stuff stick to your face??  Do you ever feel stingy tingles on you face?  Does your face ever feel uncomfortable?

Everyday your face is exposed to pollutants, dirt, and who knows what else.  It is because of this reason we need to take care of the skin on our faces and give it that little extra care.  The skin on our face needs to breathe.  A cleanser removes impurities and over time, helps reduce the signs of aging.  A toner is an extension of this process to clean away the rest and pH balance the skin so it can be ready to absorb your next step(s).  Your moisturizer should complete the process by balancing your skin and leaving it feeling soft and happy.
I have been working with the NutraMetrix Skincare Line: Lumiere de Vie for quite some time now.  I have clients on this particular regimen of different ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds.  Lumiere de Vie, I know for a fact, delivers on its promise.  I have seen, first hand, a clarification, brightness, and evening of skin tone and texture for ALL of my clients.  What my clients immediately notice within the first few days is a feeling of refreshment and softness in their skin.  This is the feeling that happens when the skin is happy.  Over time, 3 to 6 months in, they notice their skin change and some have described it as “brighter”, “glowing”, “younger” and “softer”.  Those clients with an oily/combination skin type rejoice as they notice a more balanced appearance.  Those clients with a dry/dull skin type have reported a bright and supple but firmness in their skin.  Those clients dealing with uneven skin tone and a darker complexion who are more prone to pigmentation, report an all-over change that appears to look soft, new, even, and youthful.  The Value kit for Lumiere de Vie is what all of these clients have in common.  Lumiere de Vie uses the power of the sea and the earth.
NutraMetrix Lumiere De Vie Skincare Kit

The Lumière de Vie Skincare Value Kit is ideal for ages 18 – 30 with dry skin type, ages 31 and older with normal skin type, and ages 51 and older with combination/oily skin type.  (We offer over 20 percent in retail savings compared to purchasing the products separately.) The Lumière de Vie Skincare Value Kit includes a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer that work together to cleanse impurities while reducing the appearance of rough, dry skin and supporting normal collagen production for skin that is even toned, hydrated and radiant. This kit provides a complete regimen for basic skincare at home.

Lumière de Vie Facial Cleanser is a powerful cleanser that helps to moisturize while cleansing, refreshing and invigorating the skin. The appearance of rough, dry skin is visibly diminished, creating skin that is softer and smoother.

Lumière de Vie Toner is an intensive toner that helps to support a radiant complexion by promoting healthy skin hydration, effectively reducing the appearance of rough, dry skin for a softer, smoother complexion. The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is visibly improved while helping the skin to maintain a healthy balance.

Lumière de Vie Intense Rejuvenation Crème is a super-hydrating, intensive repair treatment developed for chronically-stressed skin and designed to work with the skin’s renewal process. An ultra-rich, fast-absorbing formula specifically formulated to reduce the appearance of lines, wrinkles and age spots as it imparts skin with the look of improved radiance and newly-found firmness.  What makes this product so special?  Matrixyl Synth’6 just to name one ingredient!

 

Matrixyl synthe’6™ Matrixyl synthe’6™ is a cutting-edge peptide ingredient that promotes the normal production of six major components of the skin’s matrix and dermal-epidermal junction and hyaluronic acid. This helps to ensure optimal skin support and hydration, and dramatically reduces the appearance of wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes.

The Path to Healthy Skin

August 17, 2015 by IndivaSpa

Positive Body Image

What I do as an Esthetician is all about healthy skin. Esthetics is the application of various treatments to the skin’s epidermal layer. As professionals, we use many different techniques best suited for your skin type including facial steaming, wrapping, exfoliation, waxing, pore cleansing, extraction, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion.

TYPES OF SKINCARE THERAPIES

Chemical Peels – An exfoliation process usually used to minimize fine lines and wrinkles, and help change the skin texture.

Exfoliation – Removal of dead skin cells with manual manipulation or chemical application.

Microdermabrasion – A technique utilizing a diamond-tip machine to to exfoliate the uppermost layers of the skin. This modality is used to treat hyperpigmentation, and uneven surface texture.

microdermabrasion

 

Waxing – Hair-removal technique using warm wax that is applied to the skin, allowed to cool, then removed carefully using professional techniques.

What are the expectations? We discuss your goals, skincare issues, and concerns right in your private skincare consultation before each treatment. Once we have evaluated your skin, we work together to determine a course of action to achieve those goals. This plan set just for you will likely include treatments, an at-home regimen, and follow-up appointments.

As a licensed professional, in addition to providing face and body treatments for personal use, we can educate clients on proper cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, and stimulating regimens for home care support between visits. We can supply you with information on lifestyle choices such as nutrition and exercise to further support your skin health.

I am a member of Associated Skincare Professionals and have met stringent requirements regarding training and adhere to strict code of ethics in order to maintain membership.  Take a look at my Bio.
