Facelogic Vitamin C Defense Serum

For those of you who use serums, you already know that they are magical little concoctions created to treat all of your nagging skin concerns. But for those of you who don’t, let me shed some light!

What is a serum? A serum is basically a concentrated concoction of ingredients aimed to treat a specific skin concern. The concentrated ingredients are formulated in order to penetrate the skin with more potency and treat the specific concern at a deeper level. For example, Vitamin C, in its most potent form, typically comes as a serum. Based on what results you desire, there are hundreds (more like thousands) of serums on the market aimed to treat a variety of concerns including fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, dullness, redness, etc.

Why should you use serums? Serums will deliver better results when combined with your typical skincare routine because the highly-concentrated concoction is formulated to target a specific concern (i.e. fine lines) and deliver quicker results. While products like everyday moisturizers may contain some of a serum’s ingredients, they are not formulated in as high of a concentration.

If you’re looking to find a product that will treat one or two of your specific skin issues, look to a  serum. Your moisturizers are great for overall treatment and protection, however serums are better ‘equipped’ to tackle the specific issue head-on!

Do you have some specific concerns? Here’s some serums we recommend:

Skin Concern: fine lines and wrinkles

Peter Thomas Roth Unwrinkle – an amazing patent-pending peptide blend that is highly concentrated as a wrinkle-fighting solution with the highest degree of effective ingredients found in clinical studies.

Skin Concern: skin protection and repair

Facelogic Vitamin C Defense Serum – boosts the skin’s collagen and elastin production, repairs premature aging caused by environmental damage and brightens skin tone while minimizing areas of discoloration.

Skin Concern: hyperpigmentation

Eminence Organic Stone Crop – utilizes the natural concentrated stone crop juice and bearberry extract to lighten and minimize discoloration.

Skin Concern: redness

MD Skincare by Dr. Dennis Gross Redness Soothing Serum – contains multiple ingredients to control redness due to inflammation, rosacea and flushing.

If you’re ready to take your skincare routine to the next level, or just looking to treat a specific skin issue that has been bugging you, get started with a serum that treats your concern. The concentration of ingredients from the serum is sure to minimize your concern, if not alleviate it completely (depending on the severity, of course)!

Protect your skin from the sun, or you could end up like this!

Just because the temps have started to drop doesn’t mean you have to lose that summer glow. If the porcelain look isn’t your thing, even though you are naturally fair-skinned, you can still have a beautiful bronze year-round without sacrificing your skin.  At Facelogic Spa, we love skin in all shades, but there is one shade we don’t encourage or enjoy seeing and that is sun-tanned/burnt skin.

We encourage routine skincare and services in order to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation and improve skin texture and tone. And when your skin is exposed to UVA and UVB rays, the resulting tan (or burn) is the body’s desperate attempt to protect itself from the sun’s harmful rays. UVA and UVB rays are the number one cause of fine lines and wrinkles, collagen breakdown, hyperpigmentation and in many cases, skin cancer. So all of your facials and skin maintenance prove futile when you bake in the sun all day or even lay in a tanning bed for a few minutes.

So how do you get that bronzed Giselle-look without the damaging long term effects? We’ve got some great products that you should try:

• Celebrity favorite, Xen-Tan’s extensive array of sunless tanning products are a must-try product if you want a natural instant tan. Our favorite product is Xen-Tan’s Deep Bronze Luxe, it’s paraben-free, fast drying and will give you a gorgeous tan for about a week!
• For a short-term bronze, try gloMineral’s gloBody Bronzer. It’s great for an overall bronzing glow or a night out on the town. Plus it’s not permanent, so if you only want one night of tan, it washes off with soap.

With all of the great sunless tanning products on the market including some of our favorites at Facelogic Spas, there is no reason to bake in the sun or the tanning bed anymore. We’re all trying to look younger and have great skin, so there is no reason to jeopardize your complexion by tanning!

Remember, SPF 15 or higher should be worn at all times (even when you’re just going to the grocery store), if you need a bit of natural daily Vitamin D, get your 10 minutes of sun exposure at non peak times before 9:30 am and after 4:00 pm…and embrace your natural complexion! Porcelain is beautiful! If you need a bit of bronze for an event or for your everyday look, try some of these products.

A healthy diet can lead to great skin!

You know how the old saying goes…but did you know that eating well and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can lead to better skin? Better put down that bacon cheeseburger! It’s not that you can’t splurge (because I certainly do ), but a well-balanced diet consisting of the adequate amount of vitamins, minerals and proteins is essential to an overall healthy body and healthy looking skin.

While there are many skincare myths linked to certain foods, it basically holds true that if your diet is grossly deficient in certain elements, then the skin can develop problems. So what are some foods you should you look to incorporate into your diet?

- Vitamin A is essential for maintaining a healthy glow.  Incorporating foods rich in Vitamin A like carrots, broccoli and milk will help to protect your skin from the effects of aging and the environment.

- Fish are a great source of Omega-3 fatty acids which appear to have anti-inflammatory properties that have been linked in studies to the prevention of skin aging. Generally fatty fish such as mackerel, salmon, sardines, lake trout, and herring have the highest quantity of skin enhancing omega-3 fatty acids.

- Vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps slow the aging process and promote great skin. Foods such as hazelnuts and almonds contain a high amount of Vitamin E and are great snack options when you’re on the run.

Maintaining a healthy diet and an active lifestyle will assist you in getting great skin. Crash diets, smoking, consuming too much alcohol and high-levels of stress can lead to skin that is dull, broken out and lacks elasticity. Focus on eating well and taking care of your body and your skin and you will see the results in your face. Great skin comes from the inside out…put your best face forward and stay healthy!

As many of you know, well-shaped brows can make you look instantly better. They help to draw attention to your eyes and give you that immediate put together look, even without much fuss with makeup. if you’ve been a dedicated waxer, you know that spending a couple of minutes with your esthetician one to two times per month can make a world of difference. For those of you who haven’t ventured into the world of waxing, or for those who have and left disappointed, here’s some quick tips on how to get that great shape that flatters your facial features.

Brow Shaping 101:

1 – Natural is IN. Out are the days when super thin, penciled in eyebrows are in. If you’ve tweezed or waxed them too thin and they aren’t growing back? Good news, products like Peter Thomas Roth’s NEW Brows to Die For can help stimulate brow hair growth.

2 – A good arch will make all the difference. Everyone’s brows will have a unique arch based on the way the hair grows. Consult with your esthetician about the right shape for your face. A good rule of thumb for measuring where your brows should start and end?  Hold a makeup brush vertically along the side of your nose. Then use the side of the brush as the marker of where the brow should begin. Next, angle the  makeup brush outward so that the bottom end is against your nose, and the top and is even with the iris of your eye – this is the point where the brow should arch. Finally, angle the brush out even more toward the outermost corner of your eye – that’s where the brow should end.

3 – Brows aren’t perfect and often times you might need to fill in some gaps. Use a good brow pencil, like the gloBrow from gloMinerals to lightly feather in color to the areas where it’s needed.

Once you have created the shape that is right for your face, you’ll need to get them done every 2 to 4 weeks depending on your hair growth and your level of OCD with stray hairs . I get mine cleaned up every 2 weeks and it makes all the difference!

If you don’t get your brows done, you should try it out – it’s a great way to clean up your look!

Plump it up!

How many of you are envious of Angelina Jolie’s lips? The rest of her lifestyle isn’t half bad either, right?? But wouldn’t it be great if you could have natural looking full lips all the time like hers? Lip injections are a hot commodity these days and it seems that so many people are racing to get injected. Now, I’m all about having full lips, but I keep seeing these women with seriously bad lip injection work and it makes me think twice about the concept of injections. Instead of having naturally full looking lips, these women look like Donald Duck wannabes. I know that’s harsh, but it is just not natural!

However, there are many ways you can get plumper lips without the cost of injections. My favorite way to plump my lips for a night out is with the Facelogic Lip Plumper. It’s my handy little beauty secret that, without fail,  gives my lips a quick plump every time.

How does it work? This Lip Plumper contains peptides that stimulate fibroblasts in the skin to stimulate collagen which helps to plump the lips. It also contains avocado oil and jojoba oil which help to moisturize and lubricate the lips. So basically your getting plump AND moisturized lips all at the same time…you know how we love our two for one products!

My favorite part about the Lip Plumper is that when applied, your lips feel a slight cooling/tingling sensation that gives you a fresh, clean feeling. Our Lip Plumper is a clear gloss, so it still works the same when worn over your favorite red lipstick or gloss.

Next time you’re going out for a night on the town, or just heading out to lunch or dinner with friends, bring along your Facelogic Lip Plumper and try it for yourselves. Believe me, by the end of the evening, all of your girlfriends will be begging you to use it.

Glossed lips are on trend this season, so why not take it one step further and have glossed lips that are nice and plump. We’re all about looking beautiful and natural at Facelogic Spa, so before you think about injections, give the Lip Plumper a try and see how it might revolutionize your lip gloss-loving life. We are all addicted, and it’s a top seller, so we can all but bet that you will be too!

Plump it up ladies…
