I Thought The HydraFacial MD® Was To Good To Be True.

I’ve practiced facial treatments for over 30 years and learned one major lesson: products rarely do all they promise. So, when I first heard about the HydraFacial MD® and its claims to deep clean, exfoliate, and unclog pores…painlessly,  I had to experience it for myself.

This treatment is recommended for all skin types and targets skin issues such as fine lines and wrinkles, oily or congested skin, sun damage and uneven skin tone, and dry or dehydrated skin. It provides immediate results with no downtime or discomfort.  Instant results will leave you looking radiant and refined. I thought, this is too good to be true!

What I discovered was a welcomed surprise.

This thing is the real deal.

Here Are 3 Reasons To Fall In Love With The HydraFacial MD®

1. It Really Cleans Your Pores

Free your skin of congestion and sebum. The combination of  GlySal, (a blend of Gyclolic/Salicylic Acid) and Beta-HD Acid are used to expertly dislodge impurities. This opens pores to deeper hydration and loosens lodged debris which are then vacuumed out with a special tip used exclusively by HydraFacial MD®  to create Vortex-Extractions™.

This is followed by a HydraFacial MD®  serum that helps control the production of oil and bacteria causing acne.

2. Firm And Repair Fine Lines And Wrinkles

Firm And Repair Fine Lines. No, seriously.  The skin is Vortex-infused with a Phytonutrient–rich formula combining antioxidants and multi-peptides, plus a TonePerfect™  blend shown to reduce and prevent the appearance of brown spots, and help keep any discoloration from coming back.

Derma-Builder dual-peptide is a feature that can be added to address deep aging and wrinkle repair.

3. Instant Gratification

Not only does The HydraFacial MD® technology repair current damage,  it improves overall health, quality and function of your skin.

And then it gets even better, your skin keeps improving day by day. You’ll begin to see brighter skin, reduced fine lines, and the continued healing of any existing acne. The HydraFacial MD® actually helps your body repair damage, producing healthier, even-toned, clear, and more firmer looking skin.

A series of 2-6 treatments are recommended for skin that has multiple challenges or skin that has been suffering for a while.

Who enjoys stress? I think the answer to that question is resoundingly clear…no one.

From the moment we wake up, life demands our attention. Pulling us here and dragging us there, sometimes before we’ve even had our necessary cup of coffee. Whether its kids, stress at work, or the demands of one of life’s many interruptions; spending needed time with our sweet friends seems to be the last place we land. Our, “Let’s get together soon!” or “We really need to catch up!” seems to drag out longer each time.

We find ourselves in the midst of a hectic life, lacking community. How did we get here? A landmark study by UCLA duo Laura Klein and Shelley Taylor showed that women are genetically hardwired to need friendship in high-stress seasons.

Did you hear that? We need each other! Science says so.

It also mentions women’s natural inclination is to, “tend and befriend” as they benefit from connecting and nurturing one another when stress peaks.

There’s no denying when you get together with your sisters, or best girlfriends, all feels right with the world again. Stress, fear, and insecurity slip away as laughter takes its place. Catching up and feeling understood by those we love does something inside us that nothing else could.

I fondly remember growing up in a house full of sisters. There were four of us, between two brothers. You would normally find us spending evenings around the kitchen table sharing the events of the day, assisting mom while she demonstrated her Tennessee magic, “how to create a meal for eight on a low budget”. After dinner, we girls would gather in our room on the two twin beds where we slept two by two and begin our girly talk on random subjects. The latest gossip at school, newest lip color being worn, and the cute new boy in class were popular topics. I treasure those moments of simple connection and think of them often. They were more than my sisters; they were my best friends.

A Nurse’s Health Study from Harvard University showed a lack of time spent with female friends is as detrimental to your health as being overweight or smoking cigarettes. Can you believe that?
Like most close families or best friends, our lives become full so quickly then leaving little time for those special moments. But when we do, my mom and my three sisters create a magical moment. We explode like little girls with giggle boxes all turning upside down. My mom referred to this as a belly hugging, uncontrollable laughter that brought endless tears streaming down our faces. If you’ve never had one you’ve never really laughed.

Women are under increasing pressure at work, and at home, and spending time with female friends is a wonderful way to recover from this pressure. These studies show that women who take time to reconnect, share common experiences, and receive acceptance from their female friends; experience reduced stress, increased self esteem, and boosted confidence. It’s your turn to make a move. Grab brunch with your sister, get coffee with your best friend, or enjoy a spa day with your closest pals. It’s time to reconnect. You not only need it, you deserve it!

You’re engaged, now what? The countdown has begun. Endless wedding dates, venues, flower options and caterers are likely on your mind as you plan your fairytale day. Stress and sleepless nights have likely befriended you and your last pedicure feels like a distant memory. Is there a way to get it all done and take care of you? Countless brides around the world face this challenge as cultures and traditions are brought into the mix.

In Cuban tradition, it’s all about the wedding dress. The more layers the better! Welsh engagements begin with a wooden spoon the groom carves himself and if his love wears it as a token around her neck they are to be wed. Japanese brides are painted pure white from head to toe as a sign of physical devotion and purity to their in-laws. Many American bridal traditions are still so popular today that even modern brides participate without hesitation. Marriage is one of the most universally celebrated traditions in the world. Whether it’s wearing something blue, or carving your love a wooden spoon there are many ways to prepare for, “I do.”

Getting your body on a monthly beauty regime will allow you to look your very best, come wedding time. Nails, hair and skin should begin prepping six months in advance.  When you begin planning your special day, allow part of your budget to go toward beauty treatments at your favorite spa.

Here are 6 ways to ensure you’ll shine as bright as the sun on your wedding day:

 

  1. Get Friendly With Your Aesthetician:

Monthly facials will ensure your skin is every brides dream, soft and glowing.  Take advantage of your aesthetician’s knowledge, after your service is completed they can recommend aftercare products best for your skin. Most of which you can purchase at your spa before you leave.

  1. Get Embodied:

When it comes to your body, exfoliation is the name of the game. Who wouldn’t want their skin soft and toned without ever stepping foot in the gym?   Dry brushing, body wraps, body scrubs along with cellulite, firming and slimming treatments are available at most day spas to enhance your natural features.

  1. Plan Hair Removal:

No one has time for peach fuzz or razor burn on their wedding day! A monthly wax session will yield best results. Plus, each waxing reduces thickness and quantity. If you’re a waxing newbie, have your aesthetician test your skin a few months in advance to avoid a negative reaction.

  1. Consider Your Brows:

Brow and lash tinting will allow your honeymoon to be makeup free. Beautiful ‘I woke up like this’ brows and lashes? Sign me up! It’s even better when the dye used is safe, all natural and FDA approved like this one.

  1. Get Your Glow On:

What bride doesn’t want that “I’m in love,” glow all over? Start experimenting with your shade a few months out for best results. Working with the same technician will help you avoid any unplanned surprises. Brides should get an Airbrush Tan 3 days before their wedding in case a touch-up is needed. Your spa can work with you to create a customizable tan to best suit your skin tone.

  1. Take Your Look On A Test Run:

A hair and makeup trial should be scheduled at least three months before the big day. For best results schedule your trial the same day as your engagement photo session. This run through will show you just how your makeup and hair will look on camera. If your makeup looks too harsh or too subtle it can be adjusted before you encounter a wedding no-no.

Better yet, have someone plan your bridal beauty preparation for you with an inclusive timeline and treatment plan just like this one.
