We often hear complaints from women who take meticulous care of their skin but still have skin problems.
Some says their skin looks greasy though it feels tight. Others say moisturizers make their dry skin worse. And some with oily skin complain of too much oil.
All of these gripes have one common factor. Each person used over-the-counter products to try and treat their skin condition.
Drugstore products have a fixed formula and dosage. But not everyone has the same skin types or the same problems with their skin.
In order to get the proper treatment for your skin condition, you need to have a professional take a look at it. The skin is the largest organ of the body and it’s complicated! So having a highly trained aesthetician conduct an analysis will help immensely.
Skin craves ceramides, essential fatty acids, hyaluronic acid, and sodium PCA, (an amino acid derivative). But please, take note:
You have to know which one (or more) works best for your skin type and apply it in the right amounts.
Secondly, even if you do guess correctly about your skin condition, drugstore products simply do not have the potency of our professional line.
There is a secret to unlocking the natural beauty of your skin. Whether you have oily, dry, mature, or combination skin; pay attention to the symptoms. It’s your skin telling you what it needs.

How To Make Acne A Vanishing Act
Acne. You might as well say the word, “taxes,” it has the same effect on your psyche.
Acne can be a debilitating disease that damages your self-esteem and your looks. And like taxes, it can also destroy your bank account trying to get rid of it!
When you’re looking for ways to treat this infamous disease, you may think you need aggressive treatment, after all, acne is an aggressive disease.
Or, maybe you’ve already experienced high-octane treatments with previous therapies. If so, you know how rigorous they can be!
The plain fact is you’ve suffered enough. Why should your treatment possibly threaten your health (like Accutane) or, as with chemical peels, cause severe drying, flaking, and hiding out for days at a time?
We treat acne with LED (light emitting diodes) therapy, and we treat it very successfully. And believe it or not, you will actually look forward to your treatments because they are so relaxing.
For severe, chronic acne, we use the LED blue light because it kills the P. acnes bacteria, the bacterial cause of this debilitating disease. The acne bacteria absorb the light, which kills the bacteria.
Acne vanishes as a result.
The LED red light is a healing light and reduces the inflammation caused by acne. It also reduces scarring, oil and oil production. We may also use this color on your acne as well.
How would we use these two lights for you? Schedule a consult today and we’ll discuss your individual treatment plan for clear skin!

Tips To Fight Sagging Skin
As we age, we begin to notice parts of our skin that starts to droop a little. The more we grow old, the more it starts to sag.
Unfortunately, as gravity anchors us to Earth, it does to same to our skin.
With the medical advances in skincare, a solution to sagging skin can be achieved. The trick is to start early with prevention and don’t stop. EVER. But where do you begin?
– Your moisturizer. You need to find the right one for your skin type. If the crème is too heavy, it will clog pores. Get a skin analysis to determine which exact product to get for you.
– Active Treatments. Add a vitamin C serum or vitamin A (retinol), alpha or beta hydroxy acids (AHA or BHA) to your skincare routine. These products are usually applied at night and help your skin renew itself faster and to look firmer while you sleep.
– Corrective Facials. There is a reason why we always tell you to get a facial regularly. They work! You’ll look younger and your skin will look a lot healthier too.
– Intensive Treatments. Go for body wraps, dermabrasion peels and more to smooth out sagging skin, large pores and brown spots.
Follow these tips and you’ll feel confident and look beautiful every day of your life!

If you have oily skin, moisturizer is the last thing you think you need.
Oily skin types are generally dehydrated, and that’s where the problem lies. If your skin is dehydrated, that makes you produce more oil. But what you actually need is water.
So yes, even with oily skin, you do need a moisturizer… for moisture.
And that is where oil-free moisturizers come in.
With all the advancement in medicine and skin care, there is a wide variety of products offered at drugstores and department stores. So which one is right for you?
Rather than spending a ton of money trying to find out, the best and first thing you should do is seek a professional.
You wouldn’t want to experiment on your face. Some of these products don’t have a lot of active ingredients to help balance your skin, and might cause more damage.
When we work with you, we carefully examine your skin, make recommendations and follow up on your progress. We want to be your partner in dealing with your oily skin and making you look beautiful!

Keep Calm And Tan
Tanning on the beach can be quite stressful. You can hear the people next to you talk about changing the baby’s diapers, or kids shrieking while little brother pours sand down big sister’s two-piece. You can also smell the aroma of cigarette smoke wafting into your personal bubble.
For a calmer way to get that bronze glowing skin, opt for spray tanning.
Lying under the sun to get a tan is not good for your skin. So make the healthy, more sensible choice. We promise you won’t have any harsh chemicals to make your skin look leathery.
Our system is all natural. There are no parabens, preservatives, alcohols, perfumes, or oil.
It’s quick, easy and quiet with no cigarette smoke, stinky diapers or madcap kids.
And best of all? No risk of skin cancer.

People all over the globe are singing the praises of peptides. While there are many kinds of these natural wonders, there are three that are used most successfully in cosmeceutical skin care formulations:
– Signal peptides: Encourages the production of collagen while decreasing the breakdown of existing collagen.
– Neurotransmitter peptides: Limits muscle contractions. Please note: Peptides do NOT deliver the same results as Botox. If it did, it would be classified as a drug.
– Carrier peptides: Stabilizes and delivers trace elements necessary for wound healing and enzymatic processes.
The challenge with peptides is their size. Fortunately, peptides are easily modified to improve their ability to work in skin care formulations. Only when the peptide product is absorbed through the skin and to the targeted area will it have the most potential of generating results.
Because the signs of aging include fine lines and wrinkles due to a breakdown of collagen and elastin, peptides’ abilities seem to be a perfect match for those seeking anti-aging skin care formulations.
Combining peptides with regular professional treatments such as facials, LED and IPL can help preserve the natural beauty of your skin.

FAQ’s About LVL
1. What does LVL stand for? It stands for length, volume and lift.
2. What does LVL do? LVL represents the latest technology in lash enhancements. Using a silicon shield at the base of your lashes, LVL lifts even the straightest lashes for a big lash look.
3. Why does the initial appointment take longer than follow up appointments? We must choose a silicon shield for the shape of your eyelid. Once we know which silicon shield to use we can use that size on all subsequent appointments.
4. How is LVL different from lash perming? Lash perming is a harsh treatment that curls the lashes in much the same way rollers curl your hair. It can sometimes make your lashes appear shorter, as a result. LVL doesn’t use any adhesives, rollers, or extensions. The silicon shield lifts the lash from the root for a big lash look that also makes your eye color pop.
5. Is it painful to get LVL? Not at all! In fact, it’s very relaxing.
6. How long does it last? LVL treatments last between 2-3 months, depending on your lash quality.
7. What kind of maintenance is involved? Hardly any. We do recommend the LVL Eyelash Conditioning Serum. It nourishes lashes, coating and sealing in moisture for a shinier, healthier appearance. It’s also excellent as a primer before using mascara.
8. Can I still get lash extensions if I want to? Absolutely. Just wait 48 hours before doing so. For downward sloping lashes, LVL is recommended first because the extensions will further slope the lashes if you don’t.
9. Can I swim with LVL? Yes. There are no stipulations with LVL.
10. How does LVL work? Instead of forcing straight lashes to curl, it lifts them from the root of the lash. The straight lash now appears longer and fuller looking without any adhesives or extensions.
11. Can I get my LVL Lashes tinted? Yes, we can tint them during the same session as your LVL treatment. Tinting gives you much more freedom and convenience.
12. Are there any other eye types that especially benefit from LVL? Yes, hooded and mature eyes love this treatment. It makes the eye appear more alert and sparkly.

Excuse #4: “I’ve Tried Absolutely Everything And Nothing Seems To Work”
Excuse #4: “I’ve Tried Absolutely Everything And Nothing Seems To Work”
This excuse is an interesting one for several reasons. Trying “everything” is a huge task and quite expensive!
There is so much on the market these days it’s difficult to try them all, but we get the point. You’re frustrated and tired of trying skin care products that don’t work, right?
So stop the madness!
Instead of going *to home parties and letting your hostess decide what’s best for you skin, get a professional skin analysis with a trained aesthetician. We’ve spent X number of hours learning about how skin functions. We even had to pass a state exam to practice our passion!
Hostesses for home parties don’t have that kind of training.
Forget cheap drugstore brands of skin care. These are loaded with filters that greatly reduce the minimal effectiveness of the brand. With this line of skin care you PAY for it.
Skin care from Oasis Health & Beauty Spa is an INVESTMENT. Why? Because it’s loaded with quality ingredients that are very active. Drugstore brands? Not so much.
There are no junk fillers, just pure, top-of-the-line ingredients that enhance your natural beauty. And just as important, our professional products last and last.
So take action. This time make it the right action, though. Get a skin analysis with us. Save money, look younger, and feel more comfortable in your skin.
We guarantee it!

Habits that Sabotage the Skin
Skin saboteurs…. There are three common habits that can wreak havoc on your skin. Let’s see what they are and what you can do about them.
Keeping outdated cosmetics – If you can’t remember the last time you used it, it’s probably been longer than three months.
Throw them away! Outdated products are bacteria-breeding farm. Everyone wants to save money, but you might end up spending more if your skin starts having problems. Mark the date on the container when you buy it. Better to be safe than sorry!
DIY Facials – We’ve all done this at one point or another, squeezing a zit, peeling off a scab, or picking a pimple until it bleeds. When you do this, you’re injuring your skin, which can lead to scarring.
Try to resist the temptation and let us handle these problems with the greatest of care.
Sleeping with your make-up on. You’ve been warned against this time and time again. Why? Because this bad habit not only ages your skin up to four days in one night, but it also creates a breeding ground for bacteria. That means blackheads and pimples.
If you think you can’t wash your face before hitting the hay, wipe your face with a pre-moistened towelette to remove the day’s make-up and grime.
These three skin saboteurs are really more about lifestyle choices. They’re easy to slip into, but with little effort, just as easy to slip out of.
