Gratitude, well-being and giving thanks to my clients during the Thanksgiving Holiday!

Thanksgiving seems like the perfect time to say thank you to all of my clients who have supported my business over the last 10 years. Most of my clients have heard me talk about “The Secret”, and how important I believe it is to live your life thinking positively, feeling grateful and putting out to the universe what you would like to happen in your life. I found this bit of information online and hope you all take a moment to read it as you will see how being grateful can make you look and feel amazing!

“A large body of recent work has suggested that people who are more grateful have higher levels of well-being. Grateful people are happier, less depressed, less stressed, and more satisfied with their lives and social relationships. Grateful people also have higher levels of control of their environments, personal growth, purpose in life, and self-acceptance. Grateful people have more positive ways of coping with the difficulties they experience in life, being more likely to seek support from other people, reinterpreted and grow from the experience, and spend more time planning how to deal with the problem.Grateful people also have less negative coping strategies, being less likely to try to avoid the problem, deny there is a problem, blame themselves, or cope through substance use. Grateful people sleep better, and this seems to be because they think less negative and more positive thoughts just before going to sleep. Gratitude had been said to have one of the strongest links with mental health of any character trait. Numerous studies suggest that grateful people are more likely to have higher levels of happiness and lower levels of stress and depression.”

Are Your Hands Telling Your Age?

By Lori

As a licensed esthetician I get asked by a large number of clients how to keep our hands from showing the signs of aging. I found this article by Jennifer Linder, M.D., Chief Scientific Offer at PCA Skin Care to be very informative so I thought I would share it with you.

“Our hands are a dead give-away of our age. The face lift used to be considered the gold standard for facial rejuvenation, but now superficial chemical peels and injectables are sometimes touted as the best and least invasive ways to achieve dramatic, visible results. This strategy can be applied successfully to the hands as well. Some volume-replacing injectable options are Radiesse, Restyland and Juverderm. These are temporary, yet effective solutions for the sunken look that is so common in older hands. But, although effective in restoring volume, it is also critical to improve hydration levels pigmentation and collagen production to get the best, lasting results. Chemical peels applied to the hands will help reduce hyperpigmentation, stimulate collagen deposition and increase exfoliation.

The most critical step in keeping hands young is to apply broad-spectrum sun protection with at least an SPF of 30 every day. Additionally the hydrating and collagen-building benefits of Hydrating Serum and C-Quench Antioxidant Serum have dramatic benefits for the hands. An easy way to get in the habit of protecting your hands is to take whatever is left over on your fingers after applying to your face. ”

At Spa 10 in Encino and Palm Desert we offer some wonderful anti-aging hand treatments and a bit of education on how to care for your hands every day to keep them looking and feeling young!

Healthy Cells = Healthy younger looking skin….it's a fact!

Spa 10’s #1 anti-aging facial and body toning treatment!

Many of you have experienced these amazing treatments and often ask me how it works. Here is clinical information on all the benefits you receive during your appointment.

1. Muscle re-education is most related to the term “facial toning”. There are 32 different muscles of the face that are manipulated during the average microcurrent treatment.

2. Emil Y Chi, PhD, director of the University Of Washington’s department of pathology, performed clinical studies using microcurrent equipment. He notes,” The fact that technology works in harmony with the body is evident. Examination of the skin tissue treated with microcurrent showed a 45% increase in the number of elastin fibres in the dermis, and the length if the fibres on average doubled. The collagen thickness in the connective tissues increased 10%, and the numbers of blood vessels increased by 35%. The application of microcurrent to skin and tissue produced a firmer and tighter feeling on the skin surface.

3. Many of the studies detailing the massive increase in speed regarding wound healing refer to ATP as one of the attributing factors. The other attributing factor is an increase in blood circulation. Blood circulation has everything to do with the function, condition, color, and overall health of the skin, as underlying tissue.

4.Chi’s 1999 study also proved that the redness, irritation, and inflammation of surgically traumatized tissue could be decreased significantly when treated with microcurrent. Related to this, the buildup of hardened collagen that makes up scar tissue was noted to be 3 to 5 times less in tissue treated with microcurrent.

5.In terms of product penetration, microcurrent allows superior penetration of products into the skin. At Spa 10 we customized the products used during this facial specifically to what your skin needs at the time of your treatment to ensure the best possible anti-aging results!

6. Post- surgery treatments also are vital to maintain the results of the surgical work. It’s the same theory as wearing a retainer after braces – you want to keep everything in post surgery place!

P.S.- Suffering from any post injection bruising…call Spa 10 for help! We have had amazing results just by applying a quick amount of microcurrent to bruised area! Clients are telling us it healed almost overnight!

Cutting-Edge Skin Care – What You Need to Know

By Lori

Here is a quote from Myra Michelle Eby Author of “Return to Beautiful Skin” (and I couldn’t agree more), “Stop putting the same cheap, toxic ingredients on your skin. Stop using artificial coloring and fragrances when the natural alternatives look and smell better anyway. Stop ignoring cutting-edge technology. And stop thinking of your skin as an inanimate object rather than the living, complex organ that it is!”

So many ingredients in our skin care products are actually contributing to inflammation which is the cause of acne and hyperpigmentation in the 1st place.

INGREDIENTS TO LOOK FOR IN YOUR SKIN CARE PRODUCTS:

-Peptides – A protein shown tho stimulate and repair skin which will in turn slow the aging process

-Plant Extracts and Marine ingredients- Nontoxic and natural healing ingredients

-Vitamins – Packed full of anti-oxidants which can help to lighten, brighten and tighten the skin. Look for products containing vitamin A, C and E in your skin care.

INGREDIENTS TO AVOID:

Benzoyl peroxide – over use can make the skin sensitive and vulnerable to environmental damage.

Synthetic Fragrances – Allergy causing and irritating to the skin

Parabens – A chemical based preservative that is “considered” to be dangerous and trigger inflammation, which is enough said for me. There are plenty of amazing skin care products out there that are paraben free so why take the chance.

We offer a complimentary skin care consultation at Spa 10 so if you have any questions or concerns about what’s in your skin care products come in and we will go over them with you.
