Studio Clients: Generations

 

We had the absolute pleasure of having three generations grace our studio on Saturday.  These lovely local ladies have two very important events this Summer.  Jessica (right) and her sister (not pictured) are getting married two months apart!  

Needless to say, Stacy (left) and her daughters are very busy with wedding preparations.  And we were happy to help by creating custom makeup looks for Jessica and her mom and grandmother (center).

We have the largest selection of Jane Iredale makeup available in town.  So, finding just the right colors and textures is a snap. As you can see, we had no problem accommodating the different needs and styles that spans multiple generations.  

Our makeup consultations are a free service to our clients.  We also provide makeup classes, special occasion and wedding makeup services.   

If you are interested in a free makeup consultation call 747-7170 to schedule.

BEST WISHES TO JESSICA!

Refine Peel System: Aimee Days 4 & 5

WOW!  Aimee's skin is resurfacing like crazy! Check it out! Even in low light, you can see major areas of peeling and flaking on her forehead and chin.  This photo was taken on the evening of the 4th day. 

Aimee says that her skin continues to feel "chapped" in addition to the new areas of peeling.  Those chapped areas will most likely loosen and flake off by tomorrow or the next day.

With or without this beautifully sunny spring weather, it is important for post-peel clients to use a broad spectrum sunscreen. Our Marini Physical Protectant has an SPF of 45 and protects against both UVA & UVB rays.  This is a very light weight formula with a universal tint. This product also contains green tea extract that calms and soothes skin that has been exposed to the sun's heat and ultraviolet rays. 

Refine Peel System: Aimee Day 3

Today Aimee reports that peeling did not start until later in the day.  The peeling is most noticeable around her nose and the area above her upper lip. 

 

This afternoon she noticed rough patches of skin on her chin and around her mouth.  This evening those same areas started to lightly peel when she cleansed her face. Tonight, in addition to cleansing, she added the Skin Zyme mask, which will gently aid in her skin resurfacing.  This remarkable product uses proteolytic enzymes to digest dead & damaged skin cells without irritating sensitive skin.  This makes the Skin Zyme mask the perfect post-procedure product for the Refine Peel System.

Aimee has not reported any itching, burning, pain, or discomfort while her skin has started to resurface.  We'll be back with more tomorrow...

Refine Peel System: Aimee Day 2

Aimee checked in with us today.  She reports her skin feeling a little rough and on the verge of resurfacing.  She also experienced redness again as she cleansed her skin.  Aimee is cleansing with Age Intervention Gentle Cleanser.  She then applies C-esta Serum and Transformation Cream both morning and night. During the day it is important to use one of our Jan Marini daily skin protectants with SPF.

Refine Peel System: Aimee Day 1

Jan Marini Skin Research has developed a brand new peel system and we have it!  It's called the Refine Peel.  This peel is a combination of salicylic, lactic and citric acids with a highly concentrated retinol activator.  The retinol activator contains additional peptides and antioxidants.

To achieve the best results the peels are done in a series of three about four weeks apart.  It is also vital that Jan Marini skin care products are being used at home 2-3 weeks prior to the peel and during the peel process, while the skin is resurfacing.

This peel is perfect for clients who are concerned with fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and acne.

Today we tested the Refine Peel on one of our estheticians, Aimee Pennington.  The photo above is Aimee before the application of the Refine Peel. 



The skin is double cleansed and prepared for the application of the Refine Peel.  Frosting of the skin may occur after the peel is applied. The peel and retinol activator are not removed.

Aimee experienced mild stinging at first. Her skin had a "pins & needles" sensation.  She stated that her skin felt hot at times throughout the peel application process.  Aimee had minimal frosting around her nose and redness on her cheeks.  Redness also developed on the area around her nose and mouth.



The redness lasted for about an hour after the peel.  We expect her skin to show signs of resurfacing around the second or third day post peel.  We will keep you updated on Aimee's progress over the next 5 days.

If you are interested in the Refine Peel System you may contact your esthetician at our studio.  Aimee, Teresa, and Christy are all happy to answer any questions you might have.
