Why Winter Hydration is Important

Feel that chill in the air? Winter is well on its way. And while many of us look forward to sweater weather with relish, you wouldn’t know it by looking at our skin. Between the icy outdoor air and the desiccating indoor heat, it’s no surprise that the biggest beauty gripe of the season is dry skin. However, what most see as a minor inconvenience could hold serious consequences for your complexion years down the road. In the fight against premature aging, winter hydration is just as important as summer sun protection.

While the cold alone isn’t enough to signal a four-star beauty alarm, the drop in humidity compounded with around-the-clock heating are solid clues that its time to step up your skin care regimen. To keep your home cool in the summer and toasty in the winter, your air conditioner dehumidifies the air to control the climate. While this saves you from constantly bundling up when it’s cold outside, it also throws your skin into a state of panic.

Like a sponge, your skin absorbs moisture from the environment to keep its cells healthy and functioning. It also creates a lipid (fatty) barrier to maintain optimal moisture levels even when the humidity fluctuates, like during the winter. Between this lipid barrier and sebum—natural oils secreted by the sebaceous glands—the skin helps combat trans-epidermal water loss, or TEWL. If these natural defenses are compromised, the skin’s cells can quickly lose vital moisture, dry out and die. Over time, dead cells can build up, creating a dull appearance and blocking topical ingredients from reaching the healthy cells below.

What threatens the skin’s natural defenses? Anything that strips its lipid and sebum barrier leaves skin vulnerable to dehydration. Talc-based cosmetics, common cleanser detergents like sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and topical irritants, like alcohol and benzoyl peroxide, that can cause inflammation all pose a threat to skin’s delicate moisture balance. Chronic barrier abuse can lead to cracked, broken skin, contributing to signs of premature aging. With skin immunity and repair function in jeopardy, lines and wrinkles can easily follow.

Fortunately, you can prevent the type of winter damage that can lead to premature aging with topical ingredients that work with the skin’s barrier to minimize moisture loss. In addition to natural emollients like shea butter, moisture-enhancing ingredients like jojoba oil, liquid crystals and heavy water can work wonders on both seasonal and persistent dry skin.

Jojoba oil comes from the jojoba shrub, found throughout the southwestern United States and Mexico. Jojoba oil acts similarly to human sebum, conditioning the skin and helping to trap in moisture. Combined with other key moisturizers in a formula like CosMedix’s Hydrate+, this highly prized emollient encourages healthy hydration, especially in skin stripped of its own natural oils.

While jojoba oil helps hydrate skin by locking moisture inside, liquid crystals, like those found in Emulsion, help support the natural liquid crystal matrix of dermal tissue and cell membranes. Existing in a state between liquid and solid, liquid crystals help enhance the absorption of topical hydrators that might otherwise remain on the skin’s surface. Because all cellular components in the body exist in a liquid crystal state, liquid crystal skin care products communicate with the skin’s cells to help correct concerns like moisture loss.

One ingredient you’re not likely to hear a lot about is heavy water. However, with a list of benefits that includes ionizing radiation, boosting immunity and fighting acne bacteria, this little known substance is a skin care powerhouse. Heavy water, or deuterium oxide, is water enriched with deuterium, a hydrogen isotope found naturally in the ocean. Denser than water (hence the name), it’s more resistant to evaporation, making products rich in this moisture-binding ingredient, like Mystic, dry skin must haves.

By targeting moisture loss from outside and within, multi-active hydrating products like those in CosMedix’s chirally correct skin care line can help eliminate winter dryness and prevent the aging effects that build with time. Used in conjunction with a skin care regimen customized to your skin’s needs, corrective hydrators can help you give dry skin the cold shoulder this season and every season.

Clear Skin 101 with Suede Salon Spa and Body

Clear Skin 101

By Drew Pizzini

Whether you’re heading back to school or just hanging out with friends, don’t let breakouts bring you down. Take back control of your complexion with commonsense tips and uncommonly effective products from CosMedix. It’s time to clear up problem skin and greet the day with confidence.

Be Disciplined

While most acne sufferers will see a difference in the first couple weeks of their skincare program, it can take up to 28 days for your skin cells to turn over. Getting your skin in balance requires time, consistency and discipline. Establish a regimen of cleaning and treating your skin twice a day to eliminate pore-clogging excess oil and cellular debris. Using an exfoliating cleanser, like Purity Clean from CosMedix, is an important first step toward clarifying the appearance of problem skin. As lactic acid gently removes dead skin, soothing botanicals–including aloe vera, peppermint and lavender–calm visible irritation and unsightly redness. This powerful formula also preps the skin for additional correctives, like CosMedix’s blemish-fighting Clarity serum. Combine your home regime with a Professional Facial will ensure your ability to have bright, smooth and healthy skin.  The type of facial will depend on your skin's individual needs.

Don’t Pick

Scratching, pinching and squeezing might feel like the right thing to do, but avoid giving into the temptation. “Popping” blemishes can lead to permanent scarring, increased irritation and redness. Additionally, dirt and bacteria from unclean fingers can find their way into pores, making matters worse. A soothing facial mask, like Clear, can keep pores clean help create a more comfortable complexion. Packed with problem-solving salicylic acid, sulfur and willow herb, A 10-minute application in the morning can absorb excess oil and put you in the fast lane to clearer looking skin.

Keep Clean

To minimize the spread of bacteria and other impurities, be sure to wash all pillowcases, towels and makeup brushes weekly. If your skin is particularly sensitive, look for a detergent that’s free of irritating dyes and fragrances. When you’re out and about, avoid over-cleansing your skin, especially with harsh cleansers that contain sodium lauryl sulfate or alcohol. These common additives can rob skin of vital moisture, prompting it to produce more sebum–natural oil that conditions the skin–than normal, increasing the risk of clogged pores and breakouts. Try to also avoid touching your face, and keep long hair tied back throughout the day.

Don’t Sweat It

After exercise, be sure to use a mild cleanser to wash away sweat, which can attract pore-clogging impurities and lead to body acne. For persistent blemishing, turn again to Purity Clean. In addition to lactic acid, it also features tea tree oil, which acts as a natural astringent. An exfoliating back scrub or loofah can also help slough away potentially pore-clogging dead skin and debris; however, exercise caution when using exfoliating products with an abrasive surface to avoid irritating the skin.

Lash and Brow Tinting with Kristen

Tired of the winter blues?  The season we've all been waiting for is finally here, SUMMER!  It's time to break out some beauty tips to help you achieve a carefree, fresh new summer look that will cut down the time on your morning routine and leave you ready to go.

Ok Ladies, what if I told you that you can achieve the look of longer, darker, thicker lashes without even wearing mascara?  It's true, lash tinting has been around for quite a while but surprisingly most people don't even know it exists.  We use a vegetable based dye, so it's not harmful to the eye or skin around it.  We protect the skin with a barrier and apply the tint to your lashes.  The dye only colors the existing hairs.  The dye processes for 10 minutes and after we rinse it off, your lashes look as though you've just applied mascara.  There are different shades available, however the most popular is deep black. 

Now onto the brows.  Eyebrows are the key to shaping your face.  A well shaped brow can define your whole face, as well as give you a more youthful appearance.  A brow tint can work for everyone.  It is especially good for the mature woman who is starting to lose her eyebrows.  The same vegetable based dye is matched to your hair color and applied to your brows and allowed to process.  The dye picks up on the soft hairs to create the illusion of the thicker brow.  When taken off it gives you an eye opening result that looks like you just had a mini face lift!  For all you light haired ladies, the results are even more dramatic as it makes a huge difference if your hair is naturally light.  Both the eyebrow and eyelash tinting will last 4 to 6 weeks. However, the more frequent you do it the more it will build layers over time and last longer.  Avoiding oil based cleansers and moisturizers will also make your results last longer.  Now it's time to put on your SPF and hit the beach with your maintenance free brow and lashes and enjoy the summertime!

Migraine and Massages

Far from being simply a feel-good treatment, massage therapy helps relieve the debilitating pain of migraine headaches by relaxing muscles, improving blood flow, reducing stress, lowering blood pressure and improving sleep. In addition, massage therapy seems to provide some long-term benefits for migraine sufferers even after the treatment.

Evidence of Effectiveness

Scientific research has confirmed anecdotal evidence that massage is an effective therapy for treatment of migraine headaches. Researchers at the University of Queensland in Australia randomly assigned 47 people with migraine to a massage group and a group that received no massage. Those who received weekly massages experienced fewer migraines, reduced stress and anxiety, better sleep, slower heart rate and lower levels of cortisol, the stress hormone.
"The findings provide preliminary support for the utility of massage therapy as a non-pharmacologic treatment for individuals suffering from migraines," the researchers declared in a research paper published in Annals of Behavioral Medicine. Furthermore, there is evidence that massage therapy may reduce incidence of migraines after treatment is ended.

Incidence of Migraines

Some 18 percent of women and 7 percent of men in America endure the torment of migraines. Common signs are excruciating headache, nausea and extreme sensitivity to sound and light. Migraines are commonly triggered by stress and lack of sleep. In many cases, an initial treatment to control an attack involves lying down in a dark, quiet room free of sensory stimulation.
Medications frequently prescribed to prevent migraines, such as pain relievers, when used heavily over a period of time can actually produce another type of headache known as medication overuse headache that is more difficult to treat than migraines. Those with gastrointestinal problems and cardiovascular disease---plus pregnant or breastfeeding women---are sometimes unable to tolerate such medications.

Self-Massage

You can massage certain pressure points on your body to bring relief from migraines. Place the pads of your thumbs or first two fingers on the pressure point and apply light to moderate pressure. Press until you feel a lump or tension in the point and allow your thumb or finger to gradually go deeper, then massage with small, circular motions. If the pain at any point is too intense, reduce the pressure.
Keep your thumb or finger on the pressure point until you feel a relaxation, softness or perhaps a feeling of warmth. Slowly release the pressure and lift your fingers from the point. Repeat the procedure as needed. The crucial pressure points include the base of the skull (gently massage the bony based of your skull on the back side), mid-forehead (apply pressure to the point at the middle of your forehead between the eyebrows), eye corners (carefully massage your temples, or spots behind your eyes just behind the bone), hands (apply pressure to the fleshy area between your thumb and index finger) and foot (massage the area on the top of your foot between your big and second toes where the bones come together).

Professional Massage

In addition to self-massage, there are other holistic methods of treating migraines practiced by specialists. These include craniosacral therapy, neuromuscular massage, reflexology and deep-tissue massage. Reflexology involves pressure and massage of points on the soles of the feet. Neuromuscular massage causes tense muscles to relax by massaging "trigger points" on the body. Deep tissue therapy employs pressure, movement and stretching to relieve muscle soreness. Craniosacral therapy focuses gentle touch on the scalp and skull.

Combination Therapies

Whether applied by a professional therapist or by your own hands, massage can provide much relief for migraine sufferers. This holistic approach is indicated when the patient can't tolerate prescription medications. Others who can tolerate medications often combine massage and lifestyle modifications to control their migraines.

Call for an Appointment today 856-985-0700 at Suede Salon Spa and Body.  We offer Swedish, Deep Tissue, Reflexology Massages that can be received in combination.

Let Us Teach You How to Get the Most From Vitamin C

It’s no secret that vitamin C is a skincare powerhouse. From fighting harmful free radicals to creating a visibly brighter appearance, the topical benefits of this super-nutrient have been proven many times over. However, despite its myriad uses, vitamin C nevertheless poses a challenge for skincare companies. Its hydrophilic nature means it degrades quickly in aqueous solutions—an Achilles heel for an industry dominated by liquid and cream-based products.

As an antioxidant, vitamin C reduces the oxidative damage to cells (including skin cells) by neutralizing free radicals in the body. It’s also required for the conversion of procollagen to collagen—the protein group responsible for the skin’s structural integrity. While most vitamin C comes from dietary sources, its benefits are diffused throughout the body when taken internally. Topical application more directly affects the skin—but only if a substantial concentration reaches the desired location without degrading.

For most skincare brands, some degree of degradation is an acceptable—even inevitable—part of product development. Customers expect serums, creams and lotions, and meeting these expectations—even at the cost of ingredient integrity—is often easier (and cheaper) than offering potent alternatives that challenge customer perceptions. However, despite such challenges, one company has done just that.

CosMedix has built a reputation for rethinking the way products are packaged and even delivered to the skin. From molecular purification to cutting-edge ingredient encapsulation, the Atlanta-based company has developed novel ways of solving skincare’s biggest challenges. Their answer to the problem of vitamin C takes advantage of a purification technology that allows the synthesis of vitamin C into its purest powder form.

Made of 100 percent, pure L-Ascorbic Acid, in a unique, crystal form, Pure C preserves this key nutrient’s potency for maximum effect. The result is a highly concentrated powder that mixes with any serum or cream to dramatically enhance its brightening, antioxidant and anti-aging benefits. By delaying liquid interaction until the moment of application, Pure C sidesteps the issue of prolonged breakdown within a liquid formula to deliver the highest concentration of vitamin C possible to the skin.

As a powder, Pure C also allows users to incorporate vitamin C into their existing regimens. For instance, a person battling hyperpigmentation might mix it with a brightening serum, like Simply Brilliant, for added spot reduction. Someone concerned with premature aging might add several crystals to a firming serum or exfoliating cream, like Affirm or Serum 16 respectively.

By combining maximum potency with user customization, it’s no wonder that Pure C is a perennial bestseller. For CosMedix, the success of its innovative vitamin powder is proof positive that thinking outside of the box—or bottle—pays off.

Cosmedix is available at Suede Salon Spa and Body.  Pure C retails for $52.00.  Call to book  your Complimentary Skin Consultation  856-985-0700

Expert Advice from Our Skin Care Specialists

The Power of Professionals

No one knows the skin better than the people who treat it every day. From clinical-strength corrective products to complex procedures, like peels and facials, there’s a reason why professional treatments require a professional touch. If you’re looking to visibly transform your skin’s appearance, you probably have questions about which products and procedures are best for you. Fortunately, Suede's skincare professionals have the tools and the know-how to help you achieve your healthiest complexion ever.

What’s Right for Me?

Wrinkles, dark spots, acne–you know what concerns you most. However, each condition is unique, and what helps one person’s skin might not work for yours. Using CosMedix’s Seven-Point Skin Analysis, our skincare professional can accurately identify the source of your unique skin concern. Weighing such factors as sebaceous activity, skin thickness and accumulated photodamage, a qualified skin expert can then tailor a corrective regimen to your needs–eliminating time-and-money wasting guesswork.

Facials

Facials can be used to combat a number of skin concerns, including mild discoloration, lines, blemishes and oily skin. Among professional skincare’s least invasive procedures, facials generally affect the upper, superficial layers of the skin and require little to no downtime. CosMedix facials are particularly gentle, though powerful enough to produce real, noticeable change. Using chirally corrected enzymes, peptides, antioxidants and growth factors, these unique, nonirritating treatments are safe enough to be applied 365 days a year!

Peels

Unlike most peels, which wound the skin with harsh chemicals, CosMedix professional treatments use chirally correct natured-based ingredients to encourage healthy renewal. Known as metabolic peeling, this process can penetrate from very superficial to medium depth and correct a broad range of troublesome concerns–from oily, problem skin to hyperpigmentation to wrinkles and sun damage.

CosMedix treatments fall into one of two categories, based on their level of intensity. Today’s Treatments refresh and exfoliate the skin without prior preparation. Meanwhile, Tomorrow’s Treatments correct more persistent signs of damage and include pre-treatment skin preparation. Based on your custom skin analysis, your CosMedix skincare professional can pair you with the best solution for your needs.

Today’s Treatments

Today’s Treatments use natural, chirally correct forms of Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs) to exfoliate away dead skin cells and promote the appearance of healthy skin. These procedures offer a gentle alternative to aggressive treatments using glycolic acid and benzyl peroxide, delivering visible results without the typical irritation or downtime.

Tomorrow’s Treatments

Tomorrow’s Treatments are CosMedix’s most powerful professional tools. Providing medium-depth resurfacing, these one-of-a-kind formulas make the skin appear dramatically tighter and smoother without the long-term damage of traditional peels. Due to their intensity, these treatments require a 10 to 30-day pre-procedure regimen that may include additional products your skin expert recommends for your individual concerns.

Lash Extensions with Patty Leigh Day

When meeting someone for the first time, one of the first things that we notice are their eyes, they are said to be the "window to the soul." True inner and outer beauty can be seen by looking into someone's eyes. What makes the eyes so beautiful and alluring? The color, shape and eyelashes. Women have been wearing makeup on their eyes & false eyelashes since the 1900’s and mascara since the time of the Ancient Egyptians. We have come a long way from those days!

The latest trend that the most popular celebrities have been rocking on the red carpet are eyelash extensions. Stars like Kim Kardashian and Beyonce aren’t just naturally blessed with those super thick long lashes.  They have lash extensions. 

Lash extensions are individual tiny hairs adhered to each one of your lash hairs with a medical grade adhesive. The relaxing service is completely safe and done in the spa with your eyes closed the entire time. Most people fall asleep. With just an hour or two of your time for the first application the lashes last about a month. They will shed gradually with your natural lash hairs or can be touched up after 2-3 weeks by filling in any areas with new lashes.

 Lash extensions come in a variety of lengths and thicknesses to customize them to each individual. The lashes look completely natural and are so light weight they feel like nothing is on at all. From very natural to lush and dramatic there is no need for mascara with lash extensions. You can also throw out your eyelash curler, the extensions even come in different styles of curl.

If you want to draw more attention to your eyes without having to put on a lot of makeup or thick mascara, lash extensions are for you!

Esthetician Sharon Pichoto: Intro to Skin Care 101

Good Skin Care starts with proper nutrition.  Sometimes those late nights of studying and not always grabbing the right food can take its toll and wreak havoc on your skin.  CosMedix Skin care offers supplements that can be taken in the morning before you start your day:  Clarity provides powerful internal defense blend of detoxifying cleansing and supportive herbs to help acne.  Balance is a complete green formula with 44 unique fruit and vegetables which boost your energy!  Restore is a proprietary blend of herbs and probiotics to detoxify the colon.  Most importantly drink lots of water!  Half your weight = the amount of ounces you should drink each day.

Keeping a daily skin care routine “simple and affordable” is easy with the following regiment:

Cleanse in the morning and evening.  Going to bed without cleansing will age your skin 7 days!  Select a cleanser that is gentle enough to remove makeup but will also be effective for your personal skin type.  CosMedix Benefit Cleanser is great for most skin types while Purity Clean is perfect for oily/congested skin.

Tone for added protection against clogging pores. Spray a cotton ball with toner and simply swipe your face.  Benefit Balance is gentle enough for all types while Purity Balance works well with clogged conditions. 

Enhance your cleansing by using the Clarisonic brush, which will clean your skin 6 times better than you can manually!

Moisturize to protect and hydrate according to your skin type.  CosMedix Mystic provides hydration without the greasy feeling.  Phytoclear works as the best moisturizer for those “hormonal breakouts”.  Hydrate+ is a light moisturizer with and added protection of SPF 17. 

This simple routine will only take you 3-5 minutes morning and night.  Create the habit within 21 days and see the results.  Suede Salon Spa and Body offers Complimentary Consultations to help you jump start into a Skin Regiment that works best for your skin type.
