Do you know what Rosacea is? Read on to find out.....
Rosacea is a common skin condition effecting over 14 million Americans. This chronic skin disease can be mistaken for "Adult Acne" because it generally effects middle aged adults and contains redness and pimples.
Women who are middle aged and have fair skin are bigger contenders for this skin disease. Characterized by flushing or blushing easily, visible pimples, visible blood vessels in the center of the face, forehead, chin and nose. About half of effected people have eye dryness, irritation and swollen eyelids. The cause is unknown but some researchers think that heredity and environment could be a culprit. Rosacea flare-ups can last weeks up to months and diminish for a period of time before flaring up again.
Rosacea sufferers can reduce the swelling and irritation by avoiding:
  • Vasodilators such as spicy foods & caffeine
  • Hot drinks and food
  • Alcohol
  • Excessive exercise
  • Hot tubs or saunas
  • Heat
  • Cold
  • Sun
  • Stress and anxiety
  • Skin products that are abrasive or aggressive
Feature Product

Rosacea Relief reduces the appearance of Rosacea naturally and effectively without prescription drugs or chemicals. Cell Science Rosacea Relief decreases the redness and inflammation associated with Rosacea. Aescin, which is the primary ingredient in horse chestnut extract, instantly calms skin as it protects against free radical damage and improves the skin elasticity.

Back To School...Revamp Your Skin!


Revamp your skin before the new school year.
Just like starting a school year off with Straight A's, your skin should be in tip top shape as well. Whether you've experienced a summer full of sunshine or cooped up inside, your skin needs a recharge. It could be dry, dull, pigmented or acneic . Come in for a highly beneficial facial today...deals await!
Hydrating Facials:

If your skin is lacking moisture chances are it is feeling dry, itchy and appears flaky. Our facials exfoliate the surface dry skin allowing for moisture absorption. A soothing hydrating enzyme masque will exfoliate and detoxify the skin leaving it firmer and hydrated. The facial is then finished with a soothing Comfort Cream.
ANTI-AGING EXFOLIATING MASQUE

Designed to amplify the penetration benefits of alpha hydroxy acids, Anti-Aging Exfoliant Masque improves skin firmness, tone and texture with a blend of glycolic, lactic and salicylic acids and jojoba beads. Essential lipids and pharmaceutical grade botanicals help repair and protect the skin.

COMFORT CREAM

Enhance the skin's natural defense system with Comfort Cream. With 200% Aloe, it immediately soothes skin irritation caused by waxing, permanent makeup, chemical peels, extractions, active clinical products, sun exposure, insect bites, and more. Comfort Cream also aids in the prevention of melanocyte injury with the potent skin lightening ingredient arbutin.
ULTRA HYDRATING MASQUE

Ultra-Hydrating Enzyme Masque exfoliates and detoxifies skin as it boosts cellular renewal. Packed with hydrating botanicals and antioxidants, this energizing masque instantly moisturizes and firms dry skin.
Pigmented Skin

After a summer full of sunshine your skin is paying the price. Our Estheticians can help direct you in the right direction as far as reversing splotchy, darkening or just overall evening out your skin tone. We have a wide array of choices that can combat pigmentation from products during the facial, at home maintenance, chemical peels or laser treatments.
Listed below are some products that can help with at home maintenance:
RETINOL RESTART REJUVENATION SERUM

Retinol Restart Rejuvenation Serum delivers the maximum concentration of retinol available (5.0%) in a serum to speed skin cell regeneration and build collagen to diminish the appearance of fine lines, acne scarring, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.

AHA Accelerator prepares the skin for chemical and surgical procedures and extends their effects.

Acneic skin has pimples, blackheads and is generally on the oily side. Going to school with the inflammation and breakout under control will help with the confidence boost to walk down the hallway with pride! Our Estheticians will help customize not only your facial, but your at home maintenance routine to combat the breakouts. Our acne facials include a cleanse with a benzyl peroxide wash, an AHA combination exfoliation to soften the skin for extractions, and a pimple power masque.
