Dermalogica Ultra Calming

Itching, burning, stinging and redness are the obvious signs of sensitive skin. The triggers behind these sensations are less clear: genetics, hormones, stress, chemical assaults, foods and even aggresive skin treatments can intensify skin's highly reactive state.

When skin demands serious relief, trust new Ultra Calming from the skin health experts at Dermalogica.

The common thread behind irritation, flushing and stinging is inflammation.

Immunogenic Inflammation - Triggered by the immune system, skin inflammation is caused by a foriegn substance such as pollen or artificial fragrances.

Neurogenic Inflammation - Triggered by the nervous system, sensitizied or inflammed skin may be the result of the enviroment, chemicals or physical or emotional stress.

If you are experiencing any of the above make sure to come in and see me Amanda and I will do a Microzone with the UltraCalming line it takes 20 min and your skin will have immediate results.

Fashion Fall 2010!

WOMAN - We are seeing a lot of looks from the 50's, 60's and 70's this fall. Lots of dresses and skirts, fur, big jewelry, textured handbags and lots and lots of those bright colors yellows and oranges! I have also read that  the belly button rings are coming back into style, I wouldn't recommend :)

MEN - Suits are huge for you guys this fall, they never go out of style but you will see a lot more of suits outside of the 9-5 , you can also use velvet lapels if you want a more lax look.  Brooches are huge as well, feathered or just a basic piece on your suit coat and don't forget the bowtie.

Hope your inspired,
Amanda

sweet nothings.

Collagen, essential to skin strength and elasticity, is a protein. A diet rich in sugar can create excess waste products in the form of glucose. Instead of "burning off", this glucose (sugar) attaches to proteins in our skin. The process is classified as glycation, and leads to the formation of Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs), which increases inflammation in the body. Inflammation breaks down collagen and leads to the loss of elasticity: in laymen's terms, this means wrinkles, sagging and loss of tone.
