Spa Facials are so relaxing



I have to be honest. I am obsessed with monthly facials. They are not only so relaxing but so ggod for your health too. Facials are skin treatments for the face, generally given by licensed estheticians, that maintain and improve the quality of the skin. Facials tend to include an analysis of the skin, followed by a series of cleansing methods of the skin, exfoliation, a facial massage, steam and a cream or moisturizer.


Let's talk about the benefits:

  • Facials regulate the immune system
  • aid in detoxification
  • reduce the amount of fluid that has built up in the head area
  • and aid in stress relief when it includes "aromatherapy
  • people with sinus problems will feel much better after service
Types: Benefits of Facial Massages in Facials

Facials involve massages. These massages aid in blood circulation. Massages during facials also help with lymphatic drainage, and aid in the relaxation of the facial muscles which can slow the onset of wrinkles in the face. Skin cells can also be renewed by using this technique, which can also reduce puffiness and sagging in the face.

Function
When a person is struggling with acne, suffering from a dull complexion, or facing a superficial skin issue, regular facials can help fix these problems. Facials can give a person a clean and bright complexion, as well as remove dirt and blackheads. Paraffin facials which penetrate deep into the skin, have anti-aging benefits, too. Additionally, when a face mask is applied to the skin during a facial, it helps tone and clarify the skin.


Types of Facials and Benefits
There are a variety of facials that can provide many health benefits. Google salons around your area and find out of the many facials around. If you live close to me then contact me and I can give you the best facial you ever had $60.00 best price your face is worth it.

FLAWLESS skin, let me tell the world the secret



Let me tell you guys something. I hate tea and the only hot drink out there that I like is hot coffee! I have to tell you the importance to drink water. It is so good for your inside body and out. Keeping your self hydrated is also important for your face. When you are dehydrated it shows in your skin and you start getting a headache.  Then you can see fine lines around your eyes and lips. A big No NO!
 
My secret and I am 34 with no lines anywhere is that I drink warm water with lemon. Yes not very appeticing but I am all about skin care. It is very important to me. Also it speeds up my metabolism and it acts like a moistorizer. Cool huh?

Last but not least you might wonder what's with the lemon. Well lemon is good for so many reasons and used so many ways. Here is just a few benefits:
 


 
Benefits:

Health benefits of lemon include treatment of throat infections, indigestion, constipation, dental problems, fever, hair care, skin care, internal bleeding, rheumatism, burns, overweight, respiratory disorders, cholera and high blood pressure. Lemon helps to strengthen your immunity system and cleanses your stomach. It is not only a blood purifier but also enables body to fight diseases. Lemon juice, especially, has several health benefits associated with it. Useful for treating kidney stones, curing heart strokes and reducing the body temperature, lemonade helps you to stay calm and cool.


Just fyi I don't believe in skin peels but I do love and recommend facials and murad products!

Sex Benefits, Everybody finds sex enjoyable. While others perceive sex as entertaining and fun, do you know that sexual intercourse has a variety of health benefits? Sex can improve our psychological and physical state. Let's chat about the common benefits of love making.

1. Improves skin health Sexual intercourse stimulates the mind and body which makes skin smooth and beautiful. It releases hormones and toxins that help improve skin smoothness.

2. Relieves stress Sex also helps to relieve stress.
3. Sleep well Sex activities can make you alert the entire day and sleepy at night. People who have sex regularly do not experience difficulties in sleeping.

4. Enhances cardiovascular health Sexual intercourse is a great exercise as it significantly helps lower your calorie levels. Sex also regulates proper blood flow in the body making it heart friendly.

5. Reduces constant headaches Sex is a natural pain reliever. When making love, oxytocin increases when you get aroused. This is how orgasm comes about. A steady rise in oxytocin actually helps in relieving pain and stress as well.

6. Reduce risk of cancer Sexual intercourse can help reduce prostate cancer and also boost immunity from illnesses. Cancer cells will not be able to spread faster therefore reduce the risk of having prostate cancer.

7. Boost self esteem Sex contributes to a healthy union between a couple. It boosts self-confidence and self-esteem. For couples, it is advisable to have sexual intercourse often in order to have a healthy and pleasurable lifestyle. Making love stimulates the mind and body so as to ensure you spice up your sex life. On the other hand, sex also has its demerits as well. Unprotected sex has been known to cause health related problems such as gonorrhea, syphilis and AIDS. Please be safe and educate yourself in sex education.

Detoxing your body with a full Body Wrap plus loose inches....Guaranteed!



 

Not only you detox those nasty toxins in your body but you loose inches instantly in one hour and keep it off for 30 day. Inches will not come back as long as you keep eating healthy and exercising. You will feel better especially those who stopped smoking (congrats) take that old nicotine out of your body. Feel great! What I am talking about is a spa full Body Wrap. It is an all-natural way to enhance and moisturize your skin, decrease excess water from your body, or just provide a rejuvenating treatment for yourself, a body wrap can do wonders for your appearance.

Body wraps are designed to improve the texture and appearance of skin by removing excess fluid and toxins from the body. This method also firms loose skin and treats the unsightly appearance of cellulite. In addition, body wraps offer a variety of benefits that include detoxification, contouring, skin softening, and giving a boost to the lymphatic system and metabolism. People who have enjoyed a body wrap treatment may have also noticed another benefit: losing a few inches around the waistline and all over.



How are body wraps performed?



For those who are new to body wraps, it's a straightforward, as well as an indulgent treatment. Typically, the person receiving the body wrap has her torso, legs, arms, and neck wrapped with special cloths which have been soaked in a special mixture of ingredients. Oils, sea salts, and other mineral essential, natural ingredients are used during the wrap to provide the body with an overall exfoliating scrub. These ingredients help to improve the texture and appearance of the skin, while also cleansing the body through the process of detoxification. Body wraps are safe as they use only natural ingredients.

In preparation for the treatment, the cloths are wrapped snugly around the body, creating a kind of thermal blanket that promotes sweating and aids in the emptying of unnecessary interstitial fluid, or the fluid located between the small spaces of body tissues. Results sometimes may be realized immediately.


While bundled snuggly, the client lies peacefully as the body wrap begins to do its work. A warm sensation may be felt as the body begins to sweat out excess fluids and toxins. It's believed that this process is what actually allows a few inches to be melted off. Toxins and interstitial fluids eventually re-accumulate, so regular body wraps may provide better long-term benefits.

Once the cloths are removed, a soak in a mud bath or other body treatment may follow. Most spas offer a variety of body wraps to cater to skin type and the body's needs so body wraps may be customized as the client desires. Body wraps will vary depending on the spa where the treatment is performed and what services are included with the body wrap.



Benefits of a body wrap:



* Body scrubs use salts and other natural ingredients to exfoliate and detoxify the skin.



* Body wraps use detoxifying organic materials such as mud or aloe vera to draw toxins from the body and soften skin.



* Most body scrubs use a blend of oils with fine and coarse grains, and are followed with the application of emollient lotions to further soften skin.



* Skin will feel soft and fine lines will lessen after just one treatment.



* Such deeply relaxing treatments are shown to decrease stress, thereby lowering blood pressure.



* Since the skin is our largest organ, detoxification can have profound effects on our health and sense of well-being.



* Body wraps help to tone skin and rid the body of unwanted inches.



Body wraps typically cost between $100 and $500 (depending on your location) at most day spas. Body wraps are often performed as part of a larger body treatment that may include aromatherapy, mud baths, hot tubs, and saunas. Day spa body wraps can be less expensive when performed in conjunction with other body treatments or day spa therapies that may include facials, massages, or waxing.
 



I charge $200 for an hour, I recommend a massage before if you want. Ask for me and you will love the experience.

How to feed your hair!

How do you feed your hair? Hair is fed by what you put in your body. You eat good food, your hair will show it. You smoke? Your hair will also show it. Here I put together some vitamins that you can purchase at any local store to help any vitamis you lack. Check it out and tell me what you think.

Vitamins:

Vitamin C


Vitamin C prevents hair loss because it acts as an anti-oxidant. The suggested dose is 500 to 1000 mg taken twice daily. Fruits and vegetables contain vitamin C, especially citrus fruits such as lemons, limes, grapefruit and oranges.



Omega 3 Fatty Acids

Omega 3 fatty acids are a healthy form of oil found in fish, especially salmon and sardines. The recommended dose is one tablespoon of fish oil a day to prevent hair loss. Those taking aspirin and other blood thinning drugs should consult with a doctor before taking fish oils, because they can increase the tendency for bleeding.



Lysine

Lysine is an amino acid and one of the building blocks of protein. Because hair is made of protein, adding lysine to the diet helps prevent hair loss. The suggested dosage is 500 to 1000 mg daily. Lysine is found in meat and eggs.



B vitamins

B vitamins reduce the stress that can cause hair loss. The best way to take B vitamins is in a complex where all of the B vitamins are combined. B vitamins are found in brewer`s yeast and in red meat.



Vitamin D

Vitamin D is actually a hormone and because hair loss can be connected to hormones, adding vitamin D to the diet grows hair. Vitamin D can be synthesized on the skin after it is exposed to sunlight, but taking additional vitamin D helps prevent a deficiency. The recommended daily dose of vitamin D has been 400 IU per day but research now suggests that daily intake as high as 4000 IU is beneficial.



Vitamin A

Vitamin A stimulates the hair follicle where hair growth begins. Carrots are a good source of vitamin A, as are other dark green and red vegetables.



Vitamin E

Vitamin E is important for the circulation in the body and has been shown to grow blood vessels, which increases circulation. The increased circulation improves the body`s ability to make new hair. The recommended daily dose of vitamin E is 400 IU. Capsules of vitamin E can also be applied to the hair and scalp as a hair tonic for dry hair. Topical application also directly stimulates the capillaries on the scalp and helps prevent hair loss.
