Dipped in Wax

Happy Friday boys and girls ! Let's have a great summer , as always wear sunscreen , if you wax any part of your body remember to moisturize , and last but not least always follow your skin care regimen !

Consult with your esthetician to see what works most efficient for you ❤️

GUYS IT IS PRE FRIDAY ! SO READY FOR THE FREAKIN WEEKEND !!

I learned something new today , I know as an esthetician you do not know everything and not everything you learn at school .

Wax can expire . I know "common sense" this isn't about common sense , this is about learning and wanting to be safe and have a good waxing time.

Now how long until it expires? I don't know I'm still researching. But I will give y'all an update very soon !

Having wax on heat for excess amount of time can cause the wax to be super brittle , dries ASAP , not as moveable and overall it has a burned kind of toasty smell .

So ladies and gents , before your wax and you smell that toasty smell . Just ask what that smell is , if you can possibly run out , DO IT !

My girls of darker skin complexion! Having a hard time matching foundation ? Looks like a perfect match when you swatch it but comes out either darker or light than it looked.

Remember foundation can oxidize . One way to match your foundation perfectly is by going to the store with no makeup ! 😨😨 I know scary .

Do a sample that is on the side of your face starting mid cheek by the middle of your ear down to your neck .

By doing this , it will give you a better match , no foundation mask will be happening .

Are you allergic to a lot of things and always scared to try new products ?

There's a way to figure out what you may or may not be allergic to !

Do a patch test on yourself or have your esthetician do a patch test !

There is 2 places to do a patch test , behind your ear and inner arm close to your elbow . Allow 24 hours to pass in order to see any reaction . Please while doing patch tests please please PLEASE be super careful , as it can be dangerous to some people .

Doing a patch test it can consist of serums , moisturizer , lotion , face mask , cleansers , any wax , and exfoliants .

‼️ if reaction is severe please get professional help ! do not try more than one product at a time ! If you do more than one product at a time , you will know , see or feel where the reaction is coming from ! Again please me responsible and careful while doing patch tests ! ‼️

Happy Thursday !

Here are some acids that are great and fantastic for your skin ! Remember when adding a new step to your regimen you have to be careful , make sure no new items will affect your skin . Consult with your esthetician to see what you can add and substract .

Before your skin gets better it has to purge (first to have a lot of acne , dryness , excessive oil and more ) !

You might see some blemishes after a week or two of constant skin regimen , your skin will purge , what is happening is your skin is pushing out all the grossness that is in deep in the pore ! 😨😨

Once you start seeing results on your skin , means no more nasty and yucky bacteria is in your skin anymore ! So I guess seeing pimples for a while is good !

Summer is right around the corner , June 21 . This Texas weather makes it feel like summer on steroids 🤣 !

What facials can you get during this heat ? Microdermabrasions? Chemical peels? Laser Hair Removal?

Those are a BIG NO NO ! Why ?
Microdermabrasion is basically sanding your face from dead skin cells , hair , promotes skin cell restoration , remove visible dark spot , acne scarring, etc. ( do not worry it is not painful at all ) . Being out in the sun , the heat , excessive sweating can cause hyperpigmentation (dark spots), sores , SUN DAMAGE . The things you are paying good money for to get rid of will come back , stay the same OR be a lor more worse .

Chemical Peels ? NO NO NO
Chemical peels are invasive, chemical reactions are taking place. Chemical peels help getting rid of dark spots , under the skin acne ( white heads ) , wrinkles , acne scarring , and more . The heat alone can cause great damage to your skin . Your skin can became inflamed , red , itchy and very uncomfortable!

Laser Hair Removal ? MMMM NOPE
The laser are targeting follicles that are destroying the hair . You will basically be burning your skin two times with UVB AND UVA rays and lasering . This will cause sores , hyperpigmentation, severe sun burns ( can be up to 3rd degree ) .

Getting a basic facial , anti aging , (some) acne treatments , high frequency facials can be done in the summer time . Ask your esthetician what facials you can have during the summer . We want you to have the best results from every service you want .

Most rules are not meant to be broken and if they are you pay a pretty prices leaving your skin with not so good results . I advise you to consult with your esthetician, research ( dont always believe what the internet says ) , check which weathers are recommended for facials !

Chemical Sunscreen or Mineral Sunscreen ?

🪨Mineral Sunscreen (AKA physical sunscreen ) : protects your skin from blocking and reflecting UV rays , like a shield .

🧪👩‍🔬Chemical Sunscreen : protects your skin while ingredients pe*****te your skin , the ingredients absorb the UV rays , a chemical reaction , before your skin absorbs the UV rays . Almost like sponge .

Both sunscreens protect your skin from UVB and UVB rays . Which is great 👍🏼!

Sensitive skin ? Choose mineral - based sunscreens , no ingredient pe*******on means no reaction also meaning NO IRRITATIONS ! Why is this a better choice for people with sensitive skin ? No chemical reaction is taking place .

Non reactive skin ? You can choose either or . Whatever you feel comfortable wearing and using .

Please do your ingredient research , confide in your esthetician , at home care is IMPORTANT!

Double cleanse ?

Cleanse , exfoliate , tone and moisturize .

Exfoliating at least 2 times a week , allows your skin cells to grow . Getting rid of dead skin cells , unwanted bacteria and leaves your skin super smooth . But remember do not use a sugar or a coarse exfoliant on your face, this will kill your skin barrier, skin will be sore, dry and not good .

Body exfoliation 2-3 times a week , with a sugar based scrub or a coarser scrub . Your body can handle a coarser scrub because of how thick it is compared to your skin on your face . Also exfoliating before your wax , releases minor ingrown hairs . Giving you the best outcome of your wax . Makes the waxing go by super smooth and easy !

After exfoliating remember to moisturize . Give your skin that water it needs !

Sunny , cloudy , rainy !

I don't care really . Use sunscreen , UV rays are crazy .

Can't have hot girl summer without protection !

PROTECTION FROM THE SUN !
