Clean up those brows!

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

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!

October marks Breast Cancer Awareness month and while many businesses help to raise money for breast cancer research, Facelogic has taken a slightly different approach. Facelogic Spas want to treat women who are currently battling the disease by offering FREE facials at our spas on select days nationwide. For the past 3 years, Facelogic Spas have opened their doors to women who are undergoing chemo and cancer treatments for some much needed pampering.

In addition to offering a day of free facials in our spas, many of our spas are also donating $10 per NEW membership to the American Cancer Society’s Look Good Feel Better program which helps to emotionally support women, men and teens that are currently battling various cancers.

Aging Gracefully

Lets not go overboard people!

Let's not go overboard people!

We might reminisce from time to time about how fun it was to frolic in our carefree youth, but it’s pretty likely that you wouldn’t want to actually re-live those youthful days, right? Doing it all over again might sound fun, but also a lot of work and new life lessons to learn…yikes!

So what’s this obsession with looking 20 or 30 years younger then? We want everyone to look their best, but there is no need to go overboard!

Good thing for you all, there are plenty of ways to look great at any age without having to shell out big bucks going under the knife. The advancements in spa technologies in recent years have contributed to the increased effectiveness of facials as newer treatments and products have been formulated to deliver more targeted and long-lasting results for anti-aging skin concerns.

Some of the most effective anti-aging spa technologies include LED therapy, micro-current and microdermabrasion. In addition products and services incorporating acid peels, peptides and exfoliation are great methods of minimizing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and age spots in a more natural way. Spa facials even one-up the cosmetic medical treatments in that they typically incorporate an element of relaxation, massage and pampering – a much-needed necessity in this day and age. Ahhhhhh…

While cosmetic medical treatments are a great option delivering more long term results, with the economy in turmoil these days, there are many other appealing alternatives available for consumers at a fraction of the cost that deliver excellent anti-aging results. So before you start rationing your living expenses to save so that you can go under the knife, check out the alternative measures first. Maybe you’ll come to see that with the variety of products and services these days, there are plenty of cheaper, risk-free options to choose from.

Cheers to aging gracefully!

Want the best cleanse of your life?

The family of Clarisonic brushes

The family of Clarisonic brushes

I’m going to let you in on my little at-home secret weapon for the deepest cleanse ever – Clarisonic. If you haven’t heard of Clarisonic yet, it’s ok, you’re not totally living under a rock. However, if you don’t go out and buy one right after reading this, I might be a little concerned.

I came across the Clarisonic brush about a year ago when we brought it into our Facelogic spas and have been a die-hard fan ever since.  I was a skeptic at first, as always, but after using my Clarisonic brush in my AM and PM face washing, I’ve become hooked. My skin has never felt softer or smoother!

Most of you probably know what a Sonicare® toothbrush is by now because it has been wildly popular throughout the years. Well, the makers of that toothbrush took the same revolutionary sonic technology and created the Clarisonic skin brush. After performing numerous clinical studies, cleansing with the Clarisonic micro-massage action has shown to be twice as effective as manual cleansing.

While I can’t do clinical studies on myself to see if my skin is actually cleaner, I can tell that it’s smoother, my complexion is brighter and my occasional breakouts have subsided. What I have found to be the best part of this is that although it’s a handheld device, I can safely bring it in the shower too! I know we’re all in to convenience these days. Cleansing is your first step to better skin, and having the most-effective method of cleansing is a great bonus!

It’s our goal at Facelogic to not only provide you with the best variety of facials in our spas, but also to equip you with solid products and at-home treatments that you can use to get that glowing skin everyday.

From one skincare lover to another, I’d highly recommend checking this product out. It’s flying off our shelves, so believe me, I’m not the only Clarisonic fan out there!
