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.

Simple Ways to Spice Up Your Fall Haircolor with Heather Nieves and Mara Solano

For many of us, coloring our hair is a monthly necessity, but have you ever considered it an accessory?  Just like we add earrings or a necklace to add sparkle to our look, hair color can be used in the same way.  There are several ways this can be accomplished, and these are some of the more common ways;

1. Accent pieces- these are strategically placed foils that can allow the chosen color to “pop” from the rest of the hair. These are great for anyone who is color shy, or on the more conservative side.  Hair dipping-this technique focuses the color from the middle of the hair shaft to the bottom.  This can be done on random strands for a more natural effect or all the strands for a more dramatic effect that would mimic your ends being “dipped” in color.  Ombre-similar to hair dipping, this technique creates a more natural, sunkissed finish where the color gradually becomes lighter or more vibrant towards the ends. 

Pairing these techniques with a fun color is the ultimate hair accessory for the holidays!  Brunettes may consider adding an accent piece in a deep violet, crimson red, or jade green.  Blondes may consider pastel tones of pink or lavender, For those who aren’t as daring, imagine your copper hair with a beautiful piece of strawberry peeking out, or a chocolate brown flowing into rich amber ends.  There is an option for everyone. Color is meant to be fun & expressive!

Properly maintaining your new color is imperative to making the results last.  Highlights may require a glaze in between touch-up services. This helps to keep the vibrancy and shine of your new color. In addition, home care is just as important.  We offer several products to address all hair types. Some of our most recommended are L’Oreal Professional Vitamino Color Shampoo and Conditioner or Lumino Contrast Shampoo and Treatment. From our Label M Line, we like the Color Stay Shampoo and Conditioner.  Remember that heat styling can cause color fading! For this, we recommend always treating your hair with a heat protectant before blowdrying. For this, we love Label M’s Heat Protecting Spray or Black Miracle Treatment.

The holidays are fast approaching. When will you choose to accessorize your hair? Book an appointment with one of our talented colorists today. Let the festivities begin!

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!

One might think, "Do I really need a pedicure in the winter months? No one will see them." It is true that your feet may not be seen as frequently in the winter.

You provide this perfect environment when you get out of the shower, slip on those cozy socks and into those warm shoes. One in three people will experience a foot fungus in their life time. Our trained pedicurists can identify this condition and can help you treat it before sandal season rolls around. So keep up with one of Suede'€™s three pedicures throughout the winter months!
