We’re Back to Work! You know how life just sometimes blindsides you with a two-by-four right between your eyes? We got blindsided. Both of these ‘milestones’ were responsible for Kristie and I becoming very sick! Here we were, on opposite ends of the continent, miserably ill on the exact same days. Are we in sync or what! I was laid low with the “Mexican Misery”, in bed for four days, attended to by doctors, IV’s and medication for dehydration, etc. Kristie’s “new” house was undergoing some renovation during her first few days of occupancy, which caused old insulation to be circulated throughout the home via dirty ductwork and lack of a furnace filter. The result was insulation in her lungs that put her in the hospital with severe breathing problems. But hey, we are both strong, gutsy women and it takes more that a Mexican “bug” and lack of oxygen to put us down! We’re back in the groove, health restored and very grateful for it. Even though I was ‘down’ for four days I still had the other 10 days to enjoy the sun and warmth. But I purposely did NOT come home with a tan! Why? In my profession I have seen far too many examples of irreversible sun damage and that’s not for me. A ‘tan’ is the body’s way of screaming at you. It is saying “damage, damage, damage!” Here’s how I avoided it. I wore an SPF 45 on my face at all times and an SPF 30 on my body. Add sun glasses and a visor and lounging by the pool in the SHADE 80% of the time. Now this is all well and good, but alone that is not enough. The effective use of sunscreen means using it correctly. That means re-application at least every two hours and when exiting the water. It means applying it thick enough, you should be able to see it on your skin. It will gradually absorb. Now here is one tip that is rarely used. If you are wearing a bathing suit you will need at least one entire ounce of sunscreen to cover your exposed skin adequately. Most sunscreen containers hold 4 to 6 ounces. That’s 4 to 6 applications! How many of us actually use that much!? Most of us purchase one bottle in the spring and still have some left over in the fall. Most of all we need to change the programming that we have to return from a vacation with a tan. To prove what? And that a ‘tan’ makes us look “healthy”. Far from it. We are destroying the skin’s immunity system, breaking down connective tissue, exploding capillaries, gouging deep wrinkles into the skin and accelerating aging at a tremendous rate. I know we all long for the sun after a dreary winter, but there are safe and healthy ways to enjoy the outdoors. Try using your sunscreen differently this summer and see how much your skin thanks you in the fall. In this issue:

If Kristie is always on top of new treatments and brings them to you on a
regular basis. Her excitement this time is the arrival of the
Ultrasonic Microdermabrasion Treatment! break-outs. Ultrasonic waves penetrate into the skin increasing metabolism of the cells, thus gradually removing the coloured marks. • Lightens dark spots from sun damage. • Diminishes puffiness and dark circles • Penetrates ampoules, serums,
Ultrasonic Microdermabrasion is one of the most advanced non-invasive mechanical exfoliation systems which painlessly loosens and removes dead skin cells from the surface. In addition, the ultrasonic wave will cause a thermal effect that can penetrate cosmetic products or medicines into the skin. The Ultrasonic Microdermabrasion 1500 Model comes with a treatment wand that vibrates with ultrasonic waves at 28,000 cycles per second providing massage that stimulates and expands the cell membranes in the skin and accelerates blood circulation and lymph plasma without down time. Ultrasonic waves travel through the skin and stimulate the underlying cells, promoting cutaneous micro-circulation. This enhances tissue oxygenation, increases new cell growth, and stimulates collagen formation. By pushing specific products deeper into the skin, the ultrasonic wave can induce micro-ionization of other topical products. Okay, that’s the scientific mumbo jumbo, but how does it make you feel? Look? Ahhhh, it feels wonderful. So soothing, almost puts you to sleep. A very gentle method of removing those dead, dull surface cells, kind enough for skin that does not tolerate the more rigorous methods of exfoliation. As for how you will look………….radiant is a word that comes to mind. Moist, glowing skin that feels like it really belongs to you!
