Ola, Reader!
Kristie
is holding down the whole fort. Not only have I left her holding the
proverbial ‘bag’, but the entire set of luggage. You see, she is moving
into her very own, first purchase house at the same time as I wave
bye-bye! Here’s the cute, fully renovated character home pictured to
your right.
When you read this, I am slurping a margarita, listening to a
mariachi band and slathering SPF 30 or 45 on my finally warm body.
Kristie is not. She is slurping water, listening to the phone ring and
slathering wondrous creams, serums and ‘magic stuff’ on our clients.
Bottom line? I’m on vacation March 5 – 19 and Kristie is ready,
willing and most able to see to all your needs. Call her at 306 1191
 My online assistant, Christina is monitoring my emails while I am
away. If you get a message from Christina instead of the expected one
from me, then you’ve heard from someone special!
Christina lives in Victoria, BC and is a ‘Virtual Assistant’, or as she
prefers to call herself an “Online Assistant”. To find out more about
her and what she does you can visit

* * * * * Ol’ Smokie
 Recently,
a regular, long-time client came into the Studio for her usual European
facial treatment. I knew right away that something was different. As
I began doing her treatment I realized that the difference was the
clarity of her skin.
Her skin was brighter, more evenly coloured. It had a luminosity to
it I had not seen before. I was puzzled and thinking what is different here?
She uses the same products as always, keeps up her regular treatments and
I’m beginning to think that she has done something different for her overall
health.
And then the mystery was solved. She had quit smoking 30 days
earlier!
I was immediately reminded of an article that I recently read in one of my
trade magazines titled “Smoke Damage”, and I will share it here with
you:
Remember those girls in school who smoked to look
older? Well, they definitely got their wish, but probably not in the way
they’d planned.
‘Smoking accelerates the natural aging process of the skin, which
leads to premature wrinkling,’ says dermatologist Dr. Sandy Skotnicki-Grant,
medical director and owner of Toronto’s Bay Dermatology Centre. ‘Smoking
constricts blood vessels impeding blood flow and depriving the skin of
oxygen and nutrients.’
Makeup artist David Goveia puts it more bluntly: ‘Whenever a young model
sits in my chair, I can always tell if she smokes. To a discerning eye her
skin has a grey and ashy undertone. Grey is unattractive. It’s a
decline.’
And as Dr. Skotnicki-Grant points out, smoking accelerates the enzymes that
break down the collagen and elastin that keep our skin firm and
youthful. Smoking also causes depletion of the body’s vitamin C which is
needed for the synthesis of collagen.
Unlike the nerve and organ damage caused by smoking, which is often
reversible over time, the harm done to a smoker’s skin is permanent.
Why?
Because when the body’s elastin tissue is destroyed, it remains below the
skin in small yellow clumps.
Even occasional ‘social’ smoking can have a negative impact. ‘Just 10
minutes of smoking can decrease oxygen supply to the skin for an hour’,
says Dr. Skotnicki-Grant.
And while a smoker may not realize her habit shows on her face, just ask a
professional whose job it is to notice. Goveia only has to glance at a new
client’s complexion to know whether or not she has a nicotine habit.
Next time you are dying for a puff, think of your skin before you light up.

O2 YOUR SKIN
And on that note, we highly recommend an
Oxygenation Treatment of your skin. This is a tremendously
healthy process at any time, whether you are a smoker or not. There
are plenty of other environmental onslaughts that our skin endures
such as pollution, sun damage and toxins to name a few.
Our Oxygenation Treatment comes from the Physician’s Choice
training and products and is beneficial for ALL and ANY types of
skin. It can be included with a peel, European facial or
microdermabrasion treatment or done alone.
What an instantly amazing look and feel to the skin! Fabulous
done prior to a special occasion.
Oxygenation Treatment $50

HORMONE BALANCE HOTLINE
 Most
of our clients are aware of the more ‘natural’ and ‘wellbeing’ approach
Kristie and I take with our products, treatments and recommendations in our
business.
As women, the ‘horrible hormone’ subject arises often. We have been
suggesting that our clients become very familiar with the works of Dr. John
Lee MD, who is now deceased, but dedicated much of his medical practice to
treating hormone imbalances naturally. He was a real rarity in that he had a
‘scientifically natural’ approach as a medical doctor.
Dr. Lee’s works are continued by his dedicated organization and the
publishing of a very important online newsletter. To check it our just click

* * * * * ROUNDING THE
CORNER TO SPRING
Oh boy! It’s that time again, when early spring does a number on
your skin. It’s that transition time when the skin becomes very
confused! Maybe it’s March winds, fluctuating temperatures and our
desire to shed the winter protections too soon.
Our skin is much more sensitive, dry, flaky, tight and prone to
breakouts from eczema, allergic rashes and psoriasis (did you know that
the IPL treatments help with psoriasis?).
So here are two excellent products that can assist you in
combating these problems and soothing a rebellious skin.
Anti-Aging NutriMinC® RE9 RElease Deep Pore Cleansing Masque
Deep cle an pores
and refine skin with this super-strength masque that reaches
deep into pores to draw
out impurities and reveal improved skin
color, clarity and visual firmness.
Thoroughly, gently clean.
Kaolin, bentonite, St. John’s Wart, clover, betula alba leaf, safflower,
avocado, cucumber all contribute to a truly healthy, naturally beautiful
skin.
NutriMinC® RE9 REveal Facial Scrub
Clean skin and then infuse it with this high-powered, anti-aging
formula that leaves skin cleansed, rejuvenated and youthful-looking.

Chamomile, golden seal, witch hazel, lemon, orange, safflower oil are

Just as we begin to put away the winter wardrobe and haul out the spring
and summer wear, we also need to remove the effects of winter on your
skin and prepare it for the change in the season. Masque and scrub away
the dull and reveal a vibrant face.
If you have been on a winter vacation to a warm and sunny locale and
then returned to your regular winter climate, your skin is really
wondering what is going on! RE9 NutriMinC to the rescue.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
