Facelogic Spa

Stay protected this spring!

As I was taking a visual inventory of my skincare products in my medicine cabinet yesterday, I started to think about what products I had and what I was missing in my arsenal (yes, i’m obsessed with products). As any skincare enthusiast might do, I decided to make a list of what I need now that the sun is starting to peak it’s face out from the clouds. As we all know, skin changes from season to season. Especially if you live in climates where there are drastic difference between summer and winter weather. Skin typically becomes more dry and flaky during the colder winter months, and the natural oils start to appear more so in the summer months.

So what are my 3 must-have products for the spring? Ahhheeemmm…and the list begins:

- Peter Thomas Roth Botanical Buffing Beads – time to slough off all my dead winter skin…yuck!

- gloTherapeutics gloBrightening Serum – a quick refreshing serum to get your skin glowing!

- Facelogic Complete Sun Protection SPF 30 – the sun is coming out…prevent sun damage and wrinkles with SPF!

Time to start the spring cleaning ladies and gents…update your spring product collection to help you get glowing, hydrated skin.

Whether or not you watched last night’s 82nd Annual Academy Awards, unless you live under a rock, you have most likely seen a celebrity or two in your life via the internet or gossip magazines. We’re award show junkies at Facelogic and we love to check in and see how beautiful the stars look at every event! While we definitely get excited about who wore the best dress and who looked like a mess, we love to see who is ‘looking old’ and who has the most beautiful skin and makeup.

You can imagine our excitement last night when we saw the likes of Sandra Bullock, Meryl Streep and Sarah Jessica Parker looking gorgeous, age appropriate and with beautiful, flawless skin! What’s the secret to looking beautiful as you age? Keeping your skin in shape! While you can opt for (and many stars do) less natural treatments involving injections, there are many less expensive/less invasive options that will certainly do the trick. Celebrities have to look camera-ready at all times and they do this by getting regular facials and exfoliation treatments and sticking to a good skincare routine and healthy diet (plus they have some very talented makeup artists prepping them for these soirees).

Want to look like a star? There are plenty more affordable ways to get glowing, healthy skin on a budget! Here are some tricks to try at home:

- Incorporate exfoliation treatments - exfoliation treatments help to slough off dead surface skin cells and make way for brighter, new skin to shine through. Depending on your skin, you can exfoliate 2 to 3 times per week.

- Moisturize and protect – hydrated skin will give off a more dewy-supple look and adding SPF to your skincare routine everyday will ensure that you are fending off the sun and protecting yourselves from sun damage (which leads to fine lines and wrinkles).

- Add a little color - whether or not you are going to the grocery store or for an evening out, adding a touch of tinted moisturizer, foundation of powder will give you a more flawless complexion and make you look awake. Plus when you throw in a bit of mascara and blush, you’ll be looking ‘ready to go’ in no time and these 3 products will take under 3 minutes to apply!

There are plenty of skincare tips that the stars use to always look great, but routine skincare (starting with washing your face daily) is the best place to start. The more you focus on exfoliating, hydrating and protecting your skin, the longer you can fend off the signs of aging.

Embrace your age! If you need a little help…we’re always ready to pamper you!

Depending on where you reside…spring is just around the corner! Springtime – my favorite time of year – the season to start anew. What better place to start than with your beauty routine? The winter’s harsh conditions have taken a toll on your skin and your relentless moisturizing and exfoliating can only do so much in the dry, cold weather. As the winter weather subsides (hopefully soon!) and the days become filled with warmth and sunshine your skin will begin to feel the positive effects.

So how do you jumpstart your beauty routine to look radiant for the spring? Here are a couple of insider’s tips from Facelogic Spa that will give you a spring-fresh look:

Clean up those brows – whether you wax, thread or pluck, having well-groomed brows will dramatically change your look.

Rejuvenate your skin – your skin is recovering from the winter and finally once again moist. However, receiving a facial is one of the best ways to speed up the rejuvenation process and bring your skin back to normal. Facials help to cleanse, exfoliate, re-hydrate and firm up your skin leaving it feeling dewy and fresh. It’s the best way to prep your skin for spring.

Plump your pout – instead of always reaching for your favorite red lipstick, change it up a bit this spring with a bright colored gloss. Want a bigger pout? Try a lip plumper over a colored gloss or lipstick for fuller effect.

Protect yourself from the sun – with the cold weather and lack of sun over the past couple of months, your skin has had little exposure to the powerful UV rays and is more vulnerable to sun burns and sun damage. As springtime warmth begins to lift spirits and lure you out of your hibernation, protect yourself and your skin by applying a sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher – sun exposure causes aging and could lead to cancer so it is important to be protected.

The best way to celebrate the coming of spring is with a new clean look. So take a risk, try something you haven’t in the past!

Spring is here! Get out and enjoy a bit of sunshine…just don’t forget your sunscreen!

Photofacials, light therapy and LED are relatively new spa buzz words that I’m sure you’ve heard about in all of your favorite glossy mags. Are you curious about what this is?? I know I was when I first heard about it!

For those of you curious spa and skincare lovers, here’s the skinny on this new cool skincare technology:

There are a million marketing names for phototherapy – LED, IPL, light therapy, photo facials – basically they all focus on utilizing the healing power of light. Phototherapy is based on the idea of isolating specific wavelengths of light within the light spectrum for a variety of treatments and applications.

Spas, dermatologists and health clinics might call the service different names, or use different equipment, but the overall results and effects of the treatment are essentially the same.

What’s even cooler about this newer technology is that companies are now producing LED products that you can use at home! Facelogic Spa just announced the launch of ANSR: in our spas in order to offer LED treatments in our spas and to give our customers an option for a great at-home device!

The ANSR: device helps to:

Red Light:

-Reduces fine lines and wrinkles

-Reduces pore size

-Reduces redness

-Improves skin texture and tone

Blue Light:

-Kills acne causing bacteria

Skincare and technology is advancing at a rapid pace and Facelogic Spa is focused on providing the latest and greatest services and treatments for both in-spa and at-home use. We encourage everyone to try a treatment and see how phototherapy can help you achieve your best skin ever!

Embrace the season!

Tip #1 - All moisturizers are not created equal! The weather this time of year (regardless of your locale) will wreak havoc on your skin! If you’re feeling that your skin is uber dry due to the colder air, and your summertime moisturizer is not making the cut, try a richer moisturizer like Facelogic’s Skin Perfecting Therapy to give you that added hydration.

Tip #2 - Less is best! Contrary to what you may think, loading on the moisturizer does not necessarily mean you’ll be more hydrated. Applying coat after coat of moisturizer will just end up in product waste. So, apply what is needed for your skin, usually about a dime-size amount in the morning and before you hit the pillow at night.

Tip #3 – Protect your skin! Just because you’re not out sunbathing and lunching with your girlfriends in sundresses and platforms, doesn’t mean that your skin is safe from sun damage. The colder, less visible winter sun can be just as damaging as the hot summer sun. Everyone should be wearing an SPF of at least 15 on a daily basis. Try Peter Thomas Roth’s Uber Dry Sunscreen SPF 30.

Tip #4 – Don’t over exfoliate! We know you love a good scrub as much as we do, but if your skin is really dry slow down on the peels,  scrubs and acid-based products which can strip the vital oils from your skin. It’s important that you exfoliate, but instead of doing so twice a week, switch to once a week or every ten days until the dryness subsides.

Tip #5 – Drink up! We know the myth that water doesn’t help make your skin look any better, BUT it does help with your overall health, so drink up this winter season! If it’s too cold to drink water, switch to green tea for some added antioxidants and flavor.

The season’s change in weather doesn’t have to ruin all of the holiday fun! Follow these 5 easy tips and you can say good-bye to dry, flaky skin until next year!

Can you believe it’s almost 2010? We know you’re wrapped up in the holidays (as are we!)…but as we’re always trying to stay one step ahead of you and with 2010 right around the corner, we have some great ways for you to put your best face forward!

We’re excited to announce that with the variety of results-oriented facials, skincare products, cosmetics products and new services like body waxing and massage (in select locations), Facelogic Spa is truly the beauty and skincare destination for everyone in 2010! Not to mention our very affordably priced services make the experience a lot more relaxing for your budget and your mind.

Here’s some ideas to get your skin in shape for the new year:

• Begin a daily at-home skincare routine – this is the easiest way to start seeing results. An at-home routine can be as easy as just washing your face and applying moisturizer in the AM and PM, or you can get much more advanced by incorporating vitamin C and anti-aging serums, exfoliation and eye treatments. Wherever you are with your skincare routine – make it a point to stick to it both in the AM and PM.
• Consult with an esthetician, nurse or doctor for more advanced treatments and products. Although you can achieve excellent results from at-home exfoliation treatments, seeking the professional exfoliation treatments (i.e. peels, microderm, LED) from a professional will give you your desired results quicker. At-home skincare work best when supplemented with professional treatments.
• Focus on eating healthier in order to achieve hydrated, glowing skin. We all know that eating poorly will show on your body, but it also will show on your face and in your skin. Poor diets that are made up mostly of junk food and lack vegetables and good fats can lead to dull, dehydrated, broken-out skin. Sticking to a well-balanced diet, full of antioxidants, vitamins and essential fatty acids will lead to better skin.

It’s that time of year when we are starting to think of our resolutions and we all want to look our best, so why not focus on your skin in 2010? Facelogic Spa is a perfect place to go to get you started on a routine skincare plan that is customized for you!

Enjoy the holidays and let’s put our best face forward in 2010!
