Salon Tips and Treats for the Season
Environmental damage, sun exposure, pollution & stress are the most common triggers in free radical formation on the skin. The same process that turns an apple brown, known as oxidation, also erodes the skin via free radical formation. Experts believe that wrinkles, age spots, loss of elasticity and more are caused by free radical damage.
Our bodies are constantly creating new cells, and sloughing off old cells. To aid in this natural process, exfoliation should be an essential part of your skin care regime. The process of exfoliation removes the old cells, which allows for quicker new cell production. Exfoliation is a particularly important skin care procedure for men. First of all, facial exfoliation exposes the hair follicles allowing for a much closer shave. But also, men's skin is quite different than women's. Men have larger pores, a denser supply of blood vessels, whiskers, and it produces more sweat. All of these factors call for a superior cleanser that not only loosens dirt but that also scrubs away the old skin.
Keep in mind, too much exfoliation can be potentially damaging to the skin. Moisturizing needs to be an integral part of your skin care system as well. Our professional esthetician can assess your skin type and recommend the perfect routine, and perfect products to keep your skin glowing, supple, and healthy!
PROBOTIX is an overnight treatment containing beneficial bacteria that aid in neutralizing harmful toxins. Toxins that exit through your skin can cause allergies, rashes, and serious skin conditions, including eczema, psoriasis and acne. Environmental toxins can do the same. You need the help of friendly bacteria to handle the infectious bacteria that comes from both the inside-out and the outside-in. L. acidophilus, B. bifidum and L. bulgaricus are the friendly bacteria found in Probotix. An anti-aging formula, excellent for both skin repair, as well as preventative care, Probotix is recommended for all age groups.
