Galvanic Spa!

Galvanic Technology has been used for decades in the spa industry but the in-spa machines were cumbersome to use; however, with the new hand held device the power of Galvanic is right at your fingertips
 to either enjoy as an add on to a treatment or you can buy the machine to use in the comfort of your own home!
    
The patented hand held device uses low level galvanic (electric) currents to transport key nutrients to the skin to dramatically smooth wrinkles and lift sagging skin. It also improves the process of cleansing the skin while increasing hydration, circulation and radiance. The galvanic only works with specially charged positive & negative ion products that were created to be used with the device.      We are proud to offer the Galvanic Spa Treatment to our clients. You can do it as an add-on to super charge the results of your treatment or buy the machine and use it at home for cumulative results! The Galvanic Spa Treatment does not replace facials or a daily skincare regimen, but was created tofurther enhance the penetration and effectiveness of your products and treatments by up to 70%!
        
     As an experiment Skindulgence's Spa Director, Tazeem, had half of her face treated with the Galvanic Spa Treatment and saw changes immediately: "I noticed a difference in the depth of my smile lines around my mouth! I also noticed the treated skin was much less oily. Bonus! I am really looking forward to using the machine at home!"     

     We are certain you will be thrilled with the results,try it today and see the amazing results for yourself!  We are quite stunned at the results we have seen so far.

Fall Nail Trends

It's time to put away the hot pinks and bright blues of summer and dust off the autumn shades. China Glaze offers a wide variety of hues that will make your nails pop!

A slightly deeper, darker alternative to the classic cherry red is China Glaze's "Masai Red". This gorgeous polish is elegant on it's own... But swipe a layer of the red-glitter polish "Ruby Pumps" on top and you've got the perfect nails for a night out!


If red is just a bit too bold, try "Secrets" by China Glaze. This deep plum has red undertones and a soft shimmery finish. It'd look fantastic on darker skin tones but will look quite striking on fairer skin as well.




Nudes and neutrals are totally in this fall but they can be hard to pull off if they are pure beige hues. Instead opt for shades with a strong undertone like China Glaze's "Channelesque" that leans towards a purple-grey base. It's very modern!

Factors that Age you Faster

The first step to staying young is prevention. People do harmful things to themselves that don't seem damaging at the time but often have long term effects. Below are the top factors that age you faster with some tips on how to manage them:

1) Smoking. You should quit. Do we even need to explain this? Besides the obvious (lung and mouth cancer not to mention emphysema!) it makes your hair brittle, your nails yellow, your skin smell and causes premature wrinkles. Gross! Make a pact with a friend, get the gum or the patch, throw out your cigarettes and force yourself to quit such a damaging habit.

2) Drinking. Who doesn't like relaxing at the end of a long work day with a glass of wine? Or two? Or three? Alcohol dehydrates the skin, causes lethargy, nasty hang overs and puffy eyes. It also takes a toll on your liver and other organs. Take it easy on the drinking and make sure you're drinking a glass of water for every glass of alcohol you have to keep your hydrated.

3) Poor diet. Eating junk food, skipping veggies or having an irregular eating schedule throws your body out of equilibrium. Eating a nutritious, balanced diet is probably one of the hardest things to do with the amount of convenience food and snack options available. If you're finding it difficult to get all your servings of fruits and veggies, investing in vitamins to supplement your diet is a good way to kick-start your road to balanced meals.

4) Being inactive. Nobody likes a couch potato! Exercise is great for boosting the metabolism, increasing energy levels, working off excess steam and sweating out toxins. Get a gym-buddy or join some classes.


5) Not detoxing or eliminating properly. Even those of us who eat relatively healthy and exercise build up toxins that can cause bloating, irritability, irregular bowel movements and fatigue... to name a few. GliSODin Skin Nutrients has an amazing Detoxification formula (laxative free!) that'll help you feeling great. Lipomassage and our new Universal Contour Wraps are also great ways to release toxins from the inside out!

6) Poor or non-existent skincare routine. Whether you're forgetting to cleanse your face or exfoliating too much, you're doing your skin a disservice. The delicate skin on your face must be taken care of properly to maintain elasticity, tone and radiance. Visiting your skincare professional is an easy way to find out how best to care for your unique skin -- at Skindulgence we offer complimentary skincare consultations!

Can I Use Body Lotion on my Face?

We know it’s tempting to rub your vanilla-coconut body lotion on your face… it just smells so darn good… but please refrain! As the name would suggest, body lotions are made for your body which is covered in skin that is much tougher than your thin, sensitive facial skin. Here are three reasons why you should invest in a quality facial moisturizer:
  • Any sort of perfume or scent in your lotion can sting the eyes or cause a skin reaction 
  • The ingredients are much too heavy for the face and are likely to clog pores (AKA non-comodogenic) and will make your face appear quite oily
  • They are not designed to treat or prevent any skin problems and are likely to make them worse
            Of course, in a pinch, a teeny-tiny bit of body lotion applied lightly to the dry areas isn’t going to permanently damage your skin but don’t be surprised if you wake up with a little “skin activity”! Think ahead and make sure you get a new facial moisturizer before your old one runs out and, if possible, keep a travel sized container of it in your purse.
