Facelogic Spa

If you’re like me, you’ve probably had almost every chemical peel on the planet, always looking for the latest and greatest blends to give my skin a youthful glow. Whether it be straight up high percentage glycolics or lactics or a new-age concocted chemical blends, peels are a great way to exfoliate the skin and slough off dead surface skin cells, leaving your skin looking glowing and refreshed.

If you’re like me, sometimes you (and your skin) need more than just a 30% glycolic treatment to give your skin a boost. Luckily for you, Facelogic recently launched gloTherapeutics skincare, and we now have a new peel for you all to try…the Jessner peel. A Jessner peel is a combination peel that consists of salicylic acid, lactic acid and resorcinol. It is a medium-depth peel that penetrates beyond the top layers of the skin. The most common uses for Jessner peels are to treat sun damage and skin discoloration.

When you’re skin becomes too tired and sundamaged for a 30% glycolic treatment, step into Facelogic Spa and let us bring out the ‘big guns’ on you…try our new gloTherapeutics Jessner peel!

Gone are the days when baking in the sun all day is ‘cool’. Most smart women (and men) today wouldn’t be caught dead within 20 feet of tanning oil, let alone laying out without at least an SPF of 15 smothered on every exposed inch of skin.

Over the years, we’ve all been educated about the dangers of the sun and skin cancer. So what can you do to protect yourself before you end up looking 15 years older than you are?? Here are some quick inside tips from Facelogic Spa on how to stay sun safe and still enjoy the summer:

Tip #1 – Apply sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or more every morning. Make it part of your routine prior to putting on your makeup. Then you will be protected whether you are in the sun or not.

Tip #2 – Cover up! Hats, umbrellas, whatever it you like! Take a queue from the likes of Nicole Kidman, Anne Hathaway and Amanda Seyfreid, and embrace your natural (albeit whiter) skin color. The 90s are over and unnatural shades of brown are not ‘in’.

Tip #3 – Reapply throughout the day. Everything in moderation might be a good motto for most things in life, but for sunscreen, the motto should be everything in excess! Pile that stuff on…and do it multiple times per day to stay protected.

Resist the urge this summer and protect your skin. Ask any beauty over 35 her anti-aging secret, and if she doesn’t include the liberal application of sunscreen in her answer…perhaps she has had a few rounds with the doctor.

Stay sun safe my friends!

It goes without saying that people don’t stop to smell the roses enough these days. Lives have become increasingly hectic and stress levels are at an all time high. But when we’re always going, going, going, we don’t have time to stop and really enjoy what we have in our lives. Relaxation and ‘me’ time is so important to your overall well-being and mental state that we all should really take a few moments each day to take a breather and just chill.

As I was getting my monthly facial at Facelogic last week (yes we do get monthly facials too), I was really thinking about the whole concept of relaxation. After having a busy couple of weeks prior to my facial appointment, I was not my usual high-energy self. As soon as I collapsed into the zero-gravity facial chair at Facelogic Spa, it’s like all my stresses melted away…then the facial massage began and I was in bliss! I walked out feeling totally rejuvenated, relaxed and de-stressed. Ahhhhh…..

Whether you find relaxation in facials, massages, yoga, walks on the beach (or in the park), or reading a magazine, it’s so important that you FIND that place/method of de-stressing that works for you! Life is already short, so instead of sprinting through each day, try to wander through at a mild jog pace.

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!
