With the holiday glow from flickering candles, crackling fireplaces and colorful lights, wouldn’t it be great to have your skin reflect that warm, healthy radiance?
Estheticians Margaret Midlick and Maria Keller, at Cosmos Salon and Day Spa, are offering a quick, effective December facial special to get you ready for those holiday parties and events. For only $79, relax during a 30-minute, basic mini-peel, which exfoliates for fresh, glowing skin. The package, which normally costs $125 or more, includes face, neck and décolleté.
Our skin is a powerful, but often unappreciated organ of our bodies. It is our first line of defense against damage and infection. Keeping it healthy helps keep us healthy, but how do we do that?
“Well, think about your stove top,” suggested Margaret. “What happens when you don’t clean it regularly? It builds up a layer of grime and oil. What happens if you don’t clean it with the products recommended for that particular surface? The grime and oil might not be removed and continue to mar the surface,” she continued.
“What if you get too aggressive,” Margaret asked, “in your attempts to make that stove top bright and shiny—after all, more is better, no? That can cause the surface to look older and even more worn. The same holds true for caring for our skin, especially as we age. Because anyone over 40 can tell you, Mother Nature becomes a wench.”
According to Margaret, genetics play a key role in how we age, but environmental factors weigh in, as well, and that’s something we can control. She further believes smoking, excessive alcohol, carbonated drinks, unprotected sun exposure, lack of exercise and using the wrong products on our skin will age us faster than most genetic influences.
“So, stop smoking, drink a little less wine, drop the soft drinks from your diet, take a walk a couple times per week, and use sunscreen daily,” Margaret advised.
Perfect skin means keeping the pH of your skin balanced. Harsh soaps, and even too much cleaning with the proper cleansers, can destroy the balance. “You might need to change products, or change how often you use certain ones,” said Margaret.
To find the perfect skin care regimen for you, arrange a consultation with an experienced, licensed skin-care professional to discuss your skin’s needs. A true professional has the knowledge and tools to evaluate just what you require, and can recommend treatments, home care and products right for you. Cosmos Salon offers a free 15-minute consultation with one of their estheticians. Just call and make an appointment.
“Our clients often joke with us that when they book a facial treatment, they tell the receptionist, ‘If I don’t know what kind of treatment I want, I know they’ll provide me the treatment I need,’” Margaret stated. “Skin changes with the seasons, and a professional knows how to keep skin looking good.”
Besides having years of hands-on experience, Margaret and Maria have earned high professional certifications in their field.
Whether you need a quick microdermabrasion to brighten your skin, a light peel or facial to provide a holiday glow, or an advanced, oxygenated peel to remove the ravages of time and sun, the two professionals can find the solutions appropriate for you.
