The Spa 10

Best facials in Indian Wells & La Quinta, CA

3 ways to look and feel sexy on Valentine's Day!

By

Valentine’s Day is the season of love, romance, and more love.  Spa 10 would love to help you prep for this special occasion by giving you some tips on the most requested Valentine’s Day spa treatments that we provide.  Whether you are taken or looking for love we want you to look and feel beautiful for this special day of love.  BTW single ladies- there are 119 single men—never married, widowed or divorced—in their 20s for every 100 single women of the same age so always be prepared for Mr. Right.

Treatment #1 Brazilian Bikini Waxing

  1. No caffeine before your wax- it enhances your pain receptors.
  2. Plan to wax after your period. Your pain threshold is higher in the week after your period than beforehand.
  3. Take an over-the-counter pain reliever. About an hour before your appointment, take an Advil, Tylenol or other pain reliever.
  4. NO Scream Cream will help to reduce sensitivity –some of our clients say about 80%.  Advanced planning is required, as the lotion has to be applied 20-30 minutes prior to appointment.
  5. Plan ahead. Especially if this is your 1st wax or you haven’t been waxed in a while. Your skin will be sensitive for a few days after the appointment.  We recommend waxing 2-3 days prior to any special occasion.

Treatment #2 Airbrush Spray Tanning

Guidelines to follow for a beautiful sunless spray tan

  1. Shower, exfoliate, and shave before airbrush tanning
  2. Waxing should be done at least 24 hours prior to spray tanning
  3. Wear NO moisturizer, deodorant or jewelry to your appointmentWear loose fitting, dark clothing after your tanning appointment
  4. Do NOT shower, exercise, moisturize or get wet for recommended hours after your spray tan (no manicures, pedicures or massage until after your 1st post tan shower)
  5. After 1st shower, remember to Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize this will maintain and extend the life of your amazing airbrush sunless tan

Treatment #3 Chocolate Enzyme Facial

Believe it or not there is a guilt free way to enjoy rich creamy chocolate!  A chocolate enzyme facial will leave your skin looking and feeling healthy, refreshed and beautiful for your special night out.  This facial is a perfect pampering gift for yourself or a friend who is still looking for that special someone.

We do get very busy before this special day so call ahead to make your appointments!  Gift cards are now available on line and can be emailed directly to you or to that special someone!


E!'s Red Carpet advise on how to look (and feel) better the morning after a holiday party

By

Here are a few tips from E!’s Red Carpet Blog to help you look and feel better after your New Years Eve Party:

The holidays are great for your social life but the late nights and cocktail-party toasts aren’t as friendly to your beauty routine. (Think dry skin, puffy eyes…you name it.)

Read on for some nourishing skin strategies to minimize the morning-after shock:

Drink as much water over the next couple of week as possible. Alcohol and coffee are dehydrating and you’ll want to replenish yourself with plenty of fluids.

As much as you want to sink into to bed once you get home, remove your makeup before going to sleep and apply a soothing moisturizer. Your skin will thank you for it and, beside, waking up to raccoon eyes is never pretty.

If you really can’t manage to clean your face before going to bed, give yourself a gentle exfoliation the following morning to clean out clogged pores, slough off dead cells and give your skin a chance to refresh itself. Soothe swollen eyes with a cold compress or massage the area with a chilled eye cream that you’ve stored in the refrigerator.

Boost your body’s oxygen supply with a light workout or invigorating walk. It’ll get the blood flowing and improve your skin’s circulation.

Finally, give your face a fighting chance by smoothing on a tinted moisturizer to even out any blotchy spots and apply the brightest lipstick you can find to avoid looking washed out.

Thank You E! for these great tips!

My advise is to start the year of with a rejuvenating facial!  My two favorite facials for sluggish skin are the Oxygen Infusion Facial and Microdermabrasion.  Call us at Spa 10 – we would love to help you start off 2011  looking (and feeling) beautiful!

7 Factors That Determine Your Skin Type and Why It Is Important To Know Yours.

By

Yes, we all have a skin type and it is a good idea to have a licensed professional esthetician help you determine yours.  Knowing your skin type allows you to take proper care of your skin which is often a must to achieve and maintain a healthy beautiful skin tone.  Believe it or not knowing your skin type can actually save you money in the long run because you will be able to buy the most effective products rather than the ones that we have all purchased in the past that end up just sitting on ours shelves!

7 factors that determine your skin type:

1. Health Problems and Medications

If you are on prescription medications, your skin type can change and is often more sensitive to the sun.  Ask your pharmacist if your medications can influence your skin in any way and always tell your esthetican what medications you are taking before any skin care treatment including waxing

2. Skin Care Products

Using the wrong creams, over exfoliating, or using products full of perfumes and alcohol are the things that I find negatively affect my clients skin type. Some ingredients can dry and make the skin very sensitive.  Be very careful about the products you put on your skin.  An experienced esthetician who really cares about your skin will have a full line of products and and should offer a free consultation to provide you the knowledge you need to take care of your skin on a daily basis from home.

3. Diet and Lifestyle

What you eat and what you do dramatically effects your skin type.   Exercise can give you a healthy glow.  A low fat diet can cause your skin to become dry.  Smoking and drinking can deplete your skin of nutrients it needs to function properly.

4.Genetics

Genetics is just one factor that can determine your skin type.  If possible, find our your parents skin type and it will make determining yours a little easier.

5. Climate and Weather

Your skin will be affected by the changes in the climate that you are in hot, cold, dry,  damp or humid.  I often change my cleanser and moisturizer twice a year to provide less or more hydration depending on the season.

6. Hormonal Changes

Hormones are powerful and as they fluctuate, our skin and our skin type can change.  Most hormonal changes occur during extreme stress, puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, perimenopause and menopause.   These are the times most new clients find Spa 10 for facial services as no one likes to walk around with breakouts,  especially when you have these other things effecting your life.

7. Sun Exposure

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A HEALTHY  TAN. Exposure to sunlight will cause damage to your skin and influence your skin type in a negative way.  Spa 10 offers an amazing organic based airbrush spray on tan that can be customized to your specific skin tone to give you a sun-kissed glow  or a deep tropical tan.  Our solution even has a blend of anti-aging ingredients to help nourish your skin.  Spray tans have become very popular and are an amazing alternative to the damaging rays of the sun.

All of  Spa 10’s Estheticans are licensed, educated, passionate about what they do and eager to help our clientele achieve healthy beautiful skin.
