Make your skin glow! The benefits of Glycolic Acid

In recent years glycolic acid (one of the many Alphahydroxy acids derived from sugar cane) has achieved significant medical respect as a tool to assist in clearing acne. Studies indicate that glycolic acid appears to help in breaking down the "glue-like" substance in the pores that contributes to the formation of pores being blocked keeping skin exfoliated.
This action is believed to then assist in clearing up the pores.

In addition, research shows that glycolic acid acts as a delivery agent and may greatly enhance the effects of other topical skin medications.

Other benefits include a reduction in the appearance of the size of the pore. As the blockage of the pore is reduced, making the pore opening look much smaller & more refined giving you a smooth and beautiful glow!

Why is exfoliation so important?
Our cell turnover rate is what keeps dry, dull skin cells from building up. This process slows down with  age. The average rate of cell turnover for babies is 14 days; for teenagers, 21-28 days; for middle age people, 28-42 days; for those 50 and older, 42-84 days.

Factors influencing the cell turnover rate include genetics, the natural environment, one's medical history, lifestyle, personal care, natural exfoliation. The top dead layer of your skin is composed of approximately 15 to 20 layers and varies in thickness in different body areas. While peeling is amazing for the skin, a water & oil balance must be maintained, especially for drier skins.  That is one reason why a treatment mask is important after a chemical peel.

Why we love chemical peels?
Peels improve the texture of the skin and increases skin exfoliation & cell renewal, increases skin hydration, moisture retention, enhances elastin and collagen production. Peels also reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation. The peels that we have available at Skin & Beyond Day Spa treat skin conditions such as acne, hyperpigmentation, clogged pores, dry skin & more!

After a chemical peel your skin looks and feels smoother & softer helping you to gain or maintain a beautiful skin glow & texture.

After a chemical peel it is recommended to avoid the sun and wear a sunscreen every day. Some peels do make the skin drier at first as the top layer is sloughed off, so keeping the skin hydrated is important.
It can usually take about six weeks to notice a difference in the skin, but often  improvements are visible only after one week.

Peels are beneficials in a series of three or six, one time per week for three or six weeks. Peels can also be scheduled once a month or as needed.
To maintain your skin care goals achieved after a series we recommend you schedule a facial or peel once a month or every six weeks.

Here are a few corrective skin peels offered at Skin & Beyond Day Spa.

So.. We ask how bare do you dare?

Comment below :)

Do you let your skin suffer in the winter months?

Winter months can be harsh on your skin. This is the time where exfoliation is very important, not only on your face but also for your entire body.

Ever notice that you seem to over moisturize or seem to switch to a heavier moisturizer and you still can't seem to get enough moisture?
You still feel and see the same tightness, dryness, or flakiness?
What's happening is that the extrinsic factors like sun, the environment, air quality, lack of humidity, etc., has a negative effect on our skin by depleting the moisture that we natural produce within our cells leaving them flaky, dehydrated, dull looking, and you also start to show more wrinkles.
 When you skin has those symptoms, it means that you are building up a layer of dead dry skin cells on top of each other, making it impossible for the newer skin cells (that are underneath the dead-dry layer) get the nutrition and moisture they need.
 So how can you help the situation so your skin becomes hydrated & smooth?

Facial care at home: you need to exfoliate as least 2-3 times a week preferably at night, then use a hydrating serum and apply your moisturizer. Use Gommage 303 or 305 by Yonka Paris, or our Instant Refining Exfoliator by Jan Marini. Use Vitamin B5 Hydrating Serum by glo-therapeutics (Available here at the spa)

At the spa:  we have treatments like microdermabrasion, corrective chemical peels, or resurfacing facials (like the "alpha vital" or a more advanced facial like the "derma-brasion vitamin infusion facial" to keep your skin new, hydrated & smooth. 

Body care at home: you need to do the same as you do for your face. Use a body polish/scrub in the shower 2-3 times a week then use moisturizer all over your body.  Use Phyto-Gel Exfoliant and Lait Corps by Yonka Paris (Available at the spa)

At the spa we have body treatments like mud wraps and glow sugar scrubs. 

Coming for a spa treatment and then caring for your skin at home will help you keep your skin looking younger, hydrated & refreshed, you will notice that your wrinkles become less noticeable as you keep you skin freshly exfoliated and your body will feel velvety smooth all winter long! 

Your skin does not need to suffer in the winter months. The power of obtaining beautiful skin is in your hands!

Cellulite, Toxins & How We Can Help You To Get Rid of It

January is National Staying Health Month.

Today we are going to talk about an issue that most people deal with even from birth.

Cellulite!

What is cellulite?
Cellulite can be described as a condition of uneven deposits of fat, water, and wastes that have become trapped in connective tissues of the body, just below the skin's surface. Cellulite occurs primarily in the hips, knees, upper thighs, abdomen, buttocks, and upper arms. Studies of cellulite found the biggest contributor toward a cellulite condition was poor blood circulation. However, toxic accumulation and fluid retention are major contributing factors in the formation of cellulite. Loss of blood flow to an area, whether from lack of exercise, excessive sitting, clogged arteries, or nutrient deficiency, can have a disastrous impact on cellulite formation.

According to cellulite experts, cellulite generally accumulates in areas with poor circulation, and as a result, the toxins and waste materials get more clogged and harder to remove. The amount of damage  that inhibited blood and lymph flow can do in fragile connective tissue cannot be calculated, but every system of the body is adversely affected when cleansing systems are reduced or blocked.

• Cellulite is not fat, but rather a toxic body condition combined with edema and a lack of circulation.
• A person does not have to be overweight to have cellulite-thin people are also affected.
• Cellulite does not respond to normal weight loss and exercise programs.
• 8 out of 10 women have cellulite, as well as many men.

Causes of Cellulite Formation:

• Water retention.
• Lack of blood, lymph and water flow through cellulite prone areas.
• Toxic body and lifestyle.
• Imprisonment of waste materials.
• Slowing down of the body's waste removal system.
• Hardening of the connective tissue.

Cellulite is a toxic body condition!

In order to permanently eliminate cellulite, you must start at the source of the toxic body, and detoxify internally. If you have a toxic colon, and in return are hampering the elimination of toxins, you will ALWAYS have cellulite.

Toxins and puthrefied materials stored in the colon are carried into connective tissues, where they are deposited, forming cellulite.

The M'lis Detox Program works hand in hand with the M'lis Body Contour Wrap, not only to enhance the elimination of cellulite, but also to help prevent it's formation in the first place.

Our M'lis Body Countour Program Includes :

Body Contour Wrap- to help free and remove trapped waste in the connective tissue, eliminating internal disfiguring deposits and stimulating inch loss.

Internal detoxification- it cleanses the systems of the body and the tissues internally. Natural body functions become stronger and more efficient, and established wastes and toxins are eliminated.

Eating Cleansing Foods- Fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins rather than clogging foods, chemicals, and empty calories.

Daily Exercise-To encourage circulation and overall health.

Massage-Lymphatic & Circulatory

Body Buff or Body Exfoliants- Helps to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells before the wrap. This helps dilate capillaries, enabling nutrients to get to the cells and activating the metabolism of the skin for better wrap results.

Cell-u-rid Formula- Stimulates and strengthens the elimination system. Helps soften and break down cellulite through increased circulation and reduced water retention. Appeases the appetite naturally.

Maintain Lotion-A milder form of the spa-strenght Contour Cream that is used at home on cellulite-prone areas to stimulate circulation and continue the contouring process on a daily basis.

The following are contributors to cellulite-

• Overcooked. fatty, dead foods
• Increased hormonal activity
• Drugs (prescription or recreational)
• Alcohol, nicotine, caffeine.
• Crash dieting followed by weight gain.
• Not drinking enough water.
• Constipation.
• Excess weight.
• Lack of exercise.
• Stress.
• Toxic lifestyle.

How is the M'lis Body Contour Wrap better than others?

M'lis wraps use herbal formulations which work externally to internally.

This type of program aids in the removal of wastes that have become trapped in vulnareble parts of our bodies. It is basically a cleansing process of the tissue underneath the skin, and helps restore elasticity to loose, flabby skin. It does not dehydrate and age the skin.

This is definately the healthiest type of wrap!
