Change of Season Skin
Relax, renew and retexturize!
Lately I am running into lots of girls with “change of season skin”. Breakouts, clogged pores & dryness. I’m telling you this is unfortunatley vvveeerrryyy common in September. After a humid, alibet rainy summer, tanning (horrors!) sunscreen, little time for skincare skin just freaks out. This is the time to ramp up your regime, exfoliate and have a facial to safely deep cleanse those congested pores. Scrubs, retinol / alphahydroxy serums and deep hydration are in order. Stay away from sudsy cleansers & hot steamy showers even though they feel so good. My favorite cleanser is Jan Marini Glycolic Cleanser. Non-sudsy, water-soluble (but I suggest removing to with a washcloth) and you can use it twice a day. It will remove make up but don’t use for eye make up removal. Ouch. Glo Therapeutic Super Serum or Glo Retinol CS serum will go to work on the brown spots and help with breakouts. Moisturize twice daily, “even though you get oily later in the day.” If your skin is functioning, it should get oilier later in the day. Oil is not the enemy, dryness is. And as Julianna will tell you, “Honey, everyone needs an eye cream.”
How to de-frizz your hair
Ohmy gosh! We just had a class on the new Coppala Keratin Smoothing Therapy. It is amazing! Angelque volunteered to be our in-house model so I have lots of photos of the ‘before, after and process.’ This smoothing treatment will eliminate up to 95% of your hair’s frizz and curl, while it cuts yourblow-drying time by 70% ! Our team of stylists have decided a complimentary consultation is recommended so you will have an idea as to the price and time it will take for your service. The Smoothing Therapy starts at $250 and takes several hours to process. But the results last 3 – 5 months with proper care.
Who wants a make over?
