Why You Should Get Your Feet Tuned Up
When your car’s odometer hits 100,000 miles, you start considering if it’s time to get a new car. Unfortunately, we don’t have that option for our feet.
On average, we take about 8000-10000 steps each day, which could add up to about 115,000 miles in a lifetime.
Just like we spend a lot to make sure our cars are in perfect running order, we should also invest in the health of our feet. So, think of pedicures as a tune up for your feet.
Constantly under pressure, your feet can develop calluses, corns, and ingrown nails. That’s why professional pedicures are so therapeutic.
Our licensed pedicurists are highly trained to care for hardworking feet. They know what to look for and the questions to ask to make sure your feet get outstanding care.

Do You Really Have Dry Skin
We always hear this complaint: “My skin is so dry.”
But believe it or not, people who suffer from real dry skin is actually not common.
What most are experiencing actually dehydrated skin with itchiness, tightness and flakes.
Of course, nobody likes having flaky skin. Once they see flakes, people immediately gravitate toward exfoliating aggressively. However, this only causes irritation and inflammation, and your skin still flaky.
People also tend to buy crèmes that are extremely rich and heavy. The molecules of these products are large and hard to penetrate. The product just sits on your skin, not doing any good at all.
The key is to first know exactly what you’re dealing with. Then you must approach this skin type with this motto: Everything in moderation.
Limit your exposure to the sun and use sunscreen. Make sure all your products do not strip away much needed moisture. You want your skin care to replace the water you’ve lost overnight.
This is a common, yet tricky skin condition. It requires understanding and proper care to effectively balance its demanding needs. Over the counter products rarely address it.
If you’re frustrated with your skin, come in for a consultation. We can get you on the right track in no time!

Our skin is affected by the seasons, so we have to cater its different needs throughout the year.
This means your skincare regimen will change as the seasons do.
There are several things you can do to get glowing skin.
– Regularly get facials.
– Use retinoids to keep pores clear and skin smooth.
– Mild chemical peels exfoliate dull, dry summer skin, accelerating new skin growth.
– Brown spots will fade with IPL treatments
– Laser will tighten skin that was over exposed to the sun.
Turn up your skin’s glow regardless of the season—and get rid of dull, damaged skin with luscious skin care treatments.

Do Your Eyes Betray Your Age
It’s a common notion that eye crèmes aren’t necessary. The skin regimen we do on our face is enough to include the skin around the eyes. Unfortunately, this belief is 100% wrong.
It does make sense that the skin on our face would have the same depth as the skin around our eyes. But that is not the case.
Of all the skin on your body, the thinnest part is the around your eyes. This is why your facial moisturizer stings or burns if you apply it to close to your eyes.
You should use eye crèmes that are tested and approved by ophthalmologists. Just like facial moisturizers, eye crèmes were created to tackle specific problems like:
• Dark circles
• Puffiness
• Fine lines and wrinkles
There is also another way to get younger looking eyes. Professional eye treatments!
Think of them as a facial just for your eyes! Using a patented dermal delivery system, nutrients essential to your eyes melt into this sensitive area, deeply hydrating and nourishing them without irritation.
Just like a facial your eye treatments provide a considerable boost to your at-home eye care.

Red Carpet Makeup Secret Revealed!
Celebrity makeup artists have a difficult task for red carpet movie stars. They have to keep their makeup in place all day and night—and it has to look flawless!
How do they do it?
Believe it or not, the secret is setting powder. This hardworking product is the reason celebrities look polished and beautiful, even under the harshest lights.
Setting powder works beautifully with concealer, too. It boosts its staying power, while enhancing the look of your foundation. Just make sure that the setting powder is the same shade as your natural skin tone.
Apply setting powder mainly to the center of your face, on the outer corners of your nose, and to your chin and cheeks.
Avoid the outer edges of your face because you want your natural radiance to shine through. You can apply a highlighting product to this area, if you want. It will help to pick up the radiance of your skin.
Setting powders create a natural-looking finish that keeps your makeup performing all day!
