Men’s Skin Care

Got Arm Candy?  Why shouldn’t your fella take good care of his skin like you do?  All of my facial treatments and peels are appropriate for men, and I would be delighted to receive your referral.  Common male skin care concerns include oily skin, acne, enlarged pores and shaving bumps/ingrown hairs.  And, of course, anti-aging!!  All of these can be addressed with facial treatments and/or peels, along with appropriate home care.

For Men Only, during the month of July, 2014 I will apply 25% of the price of any facial treatment toward home care products purchased that appointment, currently in stock.  Does not apply to special orders, future purchases or past purchases.  Please call, text or email if you have any questions.

PCA Peels

I am now a Certified Provider of PCA Peels and Skin Care!!  These amazing custom treatments are results oriented with little or no downtime.  Another plus is that most of the time we can get you in and out in 30 minutes!!  A true “Lunchtime” treatment, you even have time to grab a salad at Trader Joe’s on your way back to work!!  Please call, text or email for all the details.  These treatments are $150 and include your after care kit.

Cancellation Policy

You all are so great about giving me plenty of notice when you change your appointments, and I need to put this out into the world and make sure it’s official.

I require 24 hours to change or cancel an appointment - otherwise 50% of the amount will be charged at your next visit.  This includes “reducing” your appointment (keeping some treatments and cancelling or rescheduling others), and rescheduling.  If you make an appointment within the 24-hour window (for example, we make the appointment at 6pm for 11am the next day), the cancellation policy still applies.  THANK YOU so much for your understanding!!

yours, lynne

Your skin is worth EVERY PENNY!!

Hi Friends,

Just a few quick thoughts about FACIALS:

*  Your skin turns over every 28-40 days, depending on your age.  Having a facial every 4-6 weeks allows us to work WITH your skin's natural rhythms and create tangible results.

*  Skin resurfacing and peels actually help INCREASE HYDRATION - not dry out your skin.  How?  By removing sluggish dead skin cells, professional treatments AND home care are more effective.  Now we can really address those issues that matter most to you:  fine lines, acne, sun damage, dullness, rough texture and redness.

*  Professional Home Care Products - worth every penny!!  When your car is making a funny noise you don't go to the auto parts store and brows the aisles looking for an interesting part, and think that maybe that will fix the problem, right?  Why would you do that with your skin!!  Browsing the aisles of Target, Sephora or Nordstrom is no different!!  You need a few, professionally recommended products to transform your skin, not a bathroom cabinet full of "good intentions".

I've spent years of my time and thousands of dollars on my professional education, and I'm here for you!!  Let's get your skin looking it's very best!!

yours, lynne

Professional Skin Care vs. Counterfeit Cosmetics - honest words, harsh reality

Friends, I want you to have the healthiest, most beautiful skin you possibly can have.  This means professional treatments and professional skin-care products.

I have spent YEARS getting educated and thousands of dollars on my treatments and retail products in order to provide both of these things to you. 

I recommend effective treatment protocols and home-care products because that's what you pay me for.  I DO NOT send you to CVS or Target to buy skin care, because I don't believe that will serve you best. 

I will no longer discuss over-the-counter, drugstore brands with you.  I don't believe they are the best choice for your skin.  I will find an affordable regimen for you based on professional products.   Further, I will not provide you with a list of professional skin care products so you can shop around the internet.  Read the following article for some of the reasons why:

Counterfeit Skin Care Products

A straigh-forward article about the risks you take when you purchase skin care from third-party websites, written by Abigail Hatcher, LE.

I'm sharing the truth because I truly care about you and your skin!  I'm honored that you've chosen me to manage your professional skin care!

Dry Skin Tips

I've had many conversations these last few weeks with clients complaining of dry, itchy skin.  It's a very common problem in the winter as the outdoor temperature falls and the air drys, combined with the indoor dry, heated air.  Feels like you can't win!!

But, you can, with some clever adaptations of your existing skin-care routines.

Examine your skin-care products and routine.  You may need to choose a milder, non-foaming facial cleanser, and reduce your exfoliating from 2-3 times a week to once a week.  Please use tepid to mildly warm water - no hot water washing for face, body or hair.  Yes, I know, nothing feels better than a steamy shower after a day of chilly temps, but that hot water will draw out precious moisture from your skin.

After cleansing your face, leave your skin just a little moist and then apply a hydrating serum (such as Dermaquest Advanced B5 Serum) followed immediately with a rich moisturizer, such as Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance.  Those with extremely dry, chapped skin will benefit from Dermalogica's Super Rich Repair, a balm-like moisturizer.

Wait a few moments, then apply a full-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more.

Keep it brief!  Quick showers and baths will hydrate your skin but spend too much time under that spray and you're washing moisture down the drain.  Be sure to use an SLS-FREE and PARABEN-FREE body wash such as WHISH Body Wash.  I'm loving it and you can find it for sale in my studio.

Seize the moment!  Once your skin is clean (not stripped) and hydrated, get some moisture on there asap.  Hydrating body wash is a start, but this simple routine will take it to the next level.

While still in the shower, apply a rich body lotion while your skin is still wet.  WHISH body butter is amazing, and for scaly, flaky skin you can try PCA Body Therapy.

Massage in for about 30 seconds, then blot gently with a towel.

Now, apply a body oil such as sesame oil, raw virgin coconut oil or even a little light olive oil, and massage into the skin.  I also like spray oils.  Solstice Scents makes one that I use frequently, and there are many amazingly blended scents to choose.  Another option is shea butter and/or cocoa butter, which are available online and at places line Whole Foods.  Skindecent.com is a company in Canada that carries a wonderful whipped shea butter!!  The shipping is pretty steep to the States, but I think it's worth it!!

You will need to wait a few minutes before dressing to allow the oil to penetrate.  If you've been a little too generous and you're afraid it will stain your clothes, buff lightly with your towel.

You might also find that including more healthy fats in your diet might make your skin more comfortable.  You could try almonds, avocados, olive oil and coconut oil.  Salmon is a wonderfully healthy fatty fish for those that eat fish.

You can improve your dry skin!!  Please call me for more tips and professional treatments.  310.487.3663 or email appointments@goddesslynnebodyandskin.com

Memorial Day, 2014

Friends, I wish you a blessed and meaningful Memorial Day.

If you served our Country, I thank you for your service, and acknowledge your family's sacrifice.  If your spouse, parent, grandparent or child served,  I thank you for your contribution, and pray that they were returned safely.

It's easy these days to make this a political statement, but what I remember is that those who serve do so with a heart full of love and commitment for this great country!

So, before the BBQ's and parties, the beach and cocktails, the fireworks and celebrations...let's take a few quiet moments to remember that we live in the greatest country on earth, and be grateful for all the opportunities available to us.

And please, wear sunscreen!!

xoxo
