Facials and Hair Removal

Most conversations among women will lead to hair removal and skincare.   I definitely don't know all the answers so I asked an expert, my friend Allison Tray, the owner of www.tresbelleyou.com. In her typical sassy style, Allison sent me a hilarious yet informative blog.  Tresbelle has rave reviews on citysearch.com and I love the way Allison adds humor and comfort to her atmosphere.  Check out the stuffed dog!!

So, Oprah says that most women are wearing the wrong bra size! Tres Belle says most women do not really know what skin type they are. Did you know that skin that appears oily may actually be dehydrated?! Whoa! What?! Don't fret dumpling, jump starting a regiment is not impossible, think of it as "Skin Fitness"!We all know that fitness goals are achieved with dedication NOT procrastination! This is why a consultation with a  licensed esthetician is the perfect starting place to fresh, clean and youthful skin. A professional will have the knowledge to guide you through balancing your specific skin type and may advise you on products or ingredients that would be helpful for your skin.

It's  important to remember that YOU have a part in your "Skin Fitness" program too, ie: follow through!.How can your make up artist take you to "Masterpiece" status if they don't have a fresh canvas with which to work? It's pretty essential to have a facial by a professional. Your esthetician will clean out your pores [ ask them to be gentle if your a little nervous first go 'round ] and condition your skin in a way that you cannot replicate at home. Also, it can't hurt to get the 411 on the lastest new non-invasive treatment such as "Refirme" skin tightening.Refirme treatments are virtually painless and do wonders for tired, stressed out and aging skin. Just a hint: most medispa's offer a free little mini session, and package discounts!

Many of you lucky lasses will be hauling your aaasss...BUNS! I said buns! to a pristine tropical isle, washed ashore on sandy beaches [ or right here in Brooklyn:) ]! on your honeymoon and may be sooo over, the appearance of  your bikini area! Fact is, you probably give your bikini area more thought than you need to, whether it's because of a swimsuit or a birthday suit [ oops ;) ] well, you're so done! I'm here to tell you [ and I speak from experience ] IPL [ intense pulsed light ] laser hair removal is totally the way to go. Here's why: You don't want your bikini bumps to out shine your work outs, Girl! You will ALWAYS be "ready for your closeup", and  will never have to have a "pre-show prep" session. Hey, we've ALL been there. Laser will permanently reduce [ we're talkin' up to 90% ] the hair anywhere on the body. It's truly amazing what these things can do: resurface your skin, heal and eliminate ingrowns,  erase dark/age/sun spots, soften lines, and  leave your skin healthy and smooth. Imagine being soft and smooth all the time?! It's easy. Most IPL sessions are spaced about 4-8 weeks apart ,most clients will require 8-10 sessions. Depending on the color / texture of the hair and skin tone, this may vary. There are alot of IPL treatments being done everyday , just find a place that's right for you.  Read on line reviews about the places in your area [try Citysearch] and ask your friends! Remember Gals, "patience and dedication" two attributes which probably got you onto Bubble and Lo, right?! Now go get GORGEOUS!
