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.
