Do you get caught up in the hype of the advertising campaigns that promise you the "fountain of youth" "reverse sun damage" "get rid of all your wrinkles" or how about the ones that target out youth "no more acne" "rid your skin of blackheads". Do you have any idea all of the toxic ingredients they put in these products. Ingredients that are proven to cause cancer, endocrine disrupters, irritants, may cause burns, allergic reactions, systemic reactions, reproductive and developmental disrupters, and much more.

TOUCH AND MASSAGE HAVE SO MANY BENEFITS. NOT ONLY ARE WE STIMULATING CELL PRODUCTION AND OXYGENATION TO THE CELLS BUT WE ARE ALSO IMPROVING THE CIRCULATION OF BLOOD AND LYMPH FLOW. WHEN DEALING WITH SUN-DAMAGE SKIN BECAUSE THE CIRCULATION IS COMPROMISED THIS IS EXTREMELY BENEFICIAL. 

ALSO, OUR BODYS AND SOULS NEED TOUCH IT LOWERS HEART RATE AND BLOOD PRESSURE. IT ALSO RELEASES SERATONIN AND ENDORPHINS SO THAT WE FEEL BETTER AND RELEASES PAIN SYMPTOMS.

WITHOUT TOUCH WOULD BE SAD FOR ALL OF US.

MAKING FACES BEAUTY BAR CELLULITE REDUCTION TREATMENT ENTAILS A AGGRESSIVE MASSAGE ALONG WITH CUPPING TO START THE PROCESS OF MOVING STAGNATION AND TOXINS. THEN WE DRY BRUSH THE SKIN TO FURTHER PROMOTE CIRCULATION AND LYMPH FLOW. WE APPLY DETOX SALTS WITH HERBS AND THEN AN APPLICATION OF  OUR CELLULITE REDUCTION STIMULATION CREAM. WE WRAP YOU IN A THERMAL BLANKET WITH INFARED HEAT AND LET THE DRAINAGE PROCESS BEGIN. THIS TREATMENT HELP TO CREATE FLOW OF LYMPH, REMOVE TOXINS, INCREASE CIRCULATION AND SMOOTH THE SKIN OUT.

HERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT TIPS FOR APPLYING MAKEUP ONCE YOU GET INTO YOUR FORTIES OR WHEN YOU START TO SEE MORE LINES AND WRINKLES.

 

FIRST AND FORMOST DO NOT USE SHIMMERS. THESE SHIMMERS ACT LIKE HIGHLIGHTERS AND MAKE WRINKLES AND FINE LINES LOOK MORE PRONOUNCED. USING MATTE, CREAMS AND/OR SATINS MAKE AREAS LOOK MORE SMOOTH AND FLAWLESS. 

 

IF YOUR SKIN IS ALSO DRY STAY AWAY FROM MINERAL POWDERS. I KNOW THIS IS WHAT WE ARE TOLD THAT LOOK BEST ON THIS TYPE OF SKIN BUT MOST OF THESE POWDERS CONTAIN "MICA" THAT IS A LIGHT REFLECTOR SO AGAIN CAN MAKE US LOOK MORE AGED BY SETTING UP IN WRINKLES.

Why are facials so important? Why do Americans still consider Facials and Massages a "luxury" instead of a necessity like most other cultures? This questions still remains after all the research proves that it increases cirulation, lymph, removes toxic waste, increases cell turnover for anti-aging, reduces stress, increases immunity, stimulates oxygenative cells to the surface, reduces inflammation, and these are just a few of the benefits of the massage aspect of these services. Holistic facials can be anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-aging, reduce pigmentation, reduce acne, reduce dermatitis's, exfoliate, brighten, nourish, purify,detoxify,hydrate,clarify, smooth, regeneralize, relax and bring skin back to its optimal health. Stop justifying why you should have these services. These services should be a priority to your health and since your health should be the most important factor ( since we cannot take care of others if we are sick) this should be routine. If you cannot afford these services like some people say get rid of some other unneccessary factors like coffee everyday, fake nails, eating out all the time, unneccassry clothes and other objects in your life. If your health is great you can save money on meds, doctors visits, gas to the doctors etc.... Why do you think alot of other countries are so much healthier than us? They eat well, live well, relax and take care of themselves! 

I GET THIS QUESTION ALOT. THIS IS A EASY ONE ABSOLUTELY! ANYTHING YOU PLACE ON YOUR SKIN WHETHER IT IS A FACIAL CLEANSER, BODY LOTION OR MAKEUP IT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE FOR IT TO BE CLEAN. AS I MENTIONED IN THE PREVIOUS BLOG WHEN SOMETHING GOES ON THE SKIN IT BECOMES TRANSDERMAL MEANING YOU APPLY IT, IT GETS ABSORBED, AND GO STRAIGHT THRU THE BLOODSTREAM THEN EVENTUALLY FILTER THRU THE LIVER. WITH FOOD, IT STARTS TO BREAK DOWN THRU THE SALIVA GOES THRU THE DIGESTIVE PROCESS AND EXCRETED THRU THE BOWELS AND FILTER THRU THE LIVER EVENTUALLY.

DID YOU KNOW THAT SOME EXPERTS AGREE THAT ACTUALLY WHAT YOU PLACE ON YOUR SKIN IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHAT YOU PUT INTO YOUR BODY. THE REASON BEING WHEN YOU PLACE SOMETHING ON YOUR SKIN IT CAN BE ABSORBED RAPIDLY INTO THE BLOODSTEAM AND THEN BECOME SYSTEMIC INTO THE BODY. WHAT YOU PUT INTO YOUR MOUTH HAS TO BE BROKEN DOWN WITH SALIVA THEN GOES THRU THE DIGESTIVE PROCESS AND THEN PROCESS THRU THE LIVER. THIS IS WHY PATCHES FOR SMOKING ETC HAVE BECOME SO POPULAR. PLEASE BE AWARE OF WHAT YOU ARE USING ON YOUR EVERYDAY SKIN REGIME THIS MEANS NOT ONLY FACIAL PRODUCTS BUT BODY PRODUCTS AS WELL.

Your skin according to Chinese medicine:

 

I hear this over and over every summer "I applied sunscreen but I still got tanned or burned" or "I use sunscreen and kept applying every 2 hours like you recommended but still got tanned." If this is the case eitherthe SPF is not strong enough for your skin type, the sunscreen expired, or you were not being diligent enough with how much you put on your skin or did not reapply like you should have.

 

I know some people still feel it is attractive to have color but being tan or burned means that your skins DNA is being change and the coloring that is associated with being tan is actually your skins mechanism that it is being damaged.

YES INDEED WE ARE WHAT WE EAT. HOW WE EAT CONTROLS OUR DIGESTIVE SYSTEM AND OTHER ORGANS LIKE KIDNEYS, LIVER, AND THE SKIN. IF WE ARE NOT DIGESTING OUR FOOD PROPERLY IT LITERALLY "ROTS" WITHIN OUR BODIES AND CREATES TOXINS THAT ARE WREAKING HAVOC ON OUR LIVER AND SKIN. THIS IS A VERY LONG AND LENGTHY SUBJECT IN WHICH WE WILL BE HOLDING A WORKSHOP AT THE STUDIO TO GO OVER THE MATTER.

 

BASICALLY SOME THINGS TO REMEMBER"
