At Indulge Salon we can’t stop the aging process but we certainly can slow it down. While we have to realize that the type of lifestyle we lead can lend itself to speeding up the aging process. Late nights, too many cheese fries, grease pit food, not enough quality rest, stress, anger, boyfriend issues, husband issues, children, you name it, etc. can have major impact on our biological age.
Age is more than a number. Understand that in biological terms getting older has consequences that we really don’t like but must manage. Hair can thin out, grey hair gets wiry, dry, brittle and skin of course will lose it firmness and pigmentation. Those little spots on the side of your face or they first appear on your hands out of nowhere. There is hope for us, with some simple prevention steps we can fight the signs of again and maintain a youthful appearance. I am stunned with the general attitude of women expecting a quick fix to an aging process that has taken years to appear on the skin. If we do preventative measures by using the proper skin care regime on a daily basis, the effects of aging are minimized. A myth that if you use the same product that it works forever. That is an untruth.
Our body gets used to whatever we use on the skin and it will be minimized and not take in all the nutrients it once did therefore our benefits are minimized. However; by using updated products and customizing them for the season with serums that sink deep into the layers of the skin will give more benefits and longer lasting. The cremes will penetrate on the top layer to protect those serums that had deeply penetrated. There are reasons for these amazing Guinot skin care products we use that are time tested. If your skin care professional has not updated you and recommendations it might be time to reinterview some skin care professionals for new and improved products. We are always checking and comparing whether our products hold up against the newest “thing” on the market. The “newest” thing is not always the best answer. Most importantly, make sure you always have a SPF of 15 in your base skin care. This will help prevent hyperpigmentation (dark spots) fine lines, and broken capillaries and skin cancer.
We recommend that women over 30 use a full regime such as antioxidant masks, anti-aging night creams with a treatment serum underneath. These serums are like missiles that seek out the dry spots and they are programmed to zero in on increasing the collagen production as long as it has retinol in the ingredients.
All Indulge Soaps and Body butter products are handcrafted for Indulge in small batches to ensure the freshest, highest quality products available. Soaps will continue to harden over time. They are moist and fresh and harden as they cure. Soaps with vanilla fragrance in them may continue to darken in color over time. This is normal and is a natural part of the moisturizer and soaps. The fragrance will not change. This information might be helpful about soaps.
Our Natural soaps are a customer blend of Coconut Oil Organic Sustainable Palm Oil, Castor Oil, for extra bubbles, and Palm Kernel Oil with Refined Shea Butter. This amazing soap is then scented with the finest fragrance oils, many of which are custom blends created by me! This soap has been created using more updated techniques vs the traditional soapmaking processes.
The Glycerin Soaps are contrary to what many people believe, glycerin is an amazing ingredient. Glycerin is actually a natural byproduct of the natural soapmaking process. It’s a natural humectant and emollient that absorbs moisture from the air and, therefore, helps keep moisture in. Glycerin is nontoxic, nonirritating and nonallergenic. In addition to the high end ingredients in the soap itself, many of our glycerin soaps also contain the added beenfits of cocoa butter, shea butter and other amazing oils and butters..
I wanted to talk about the minerals, vitamins and amino acids that are loaded in in seaweed. The complex values between nutritional to skincare regimes have known in cultures for centuries. Nice to know we are getting back to basics, however, with the current technology consumers are taking a closer look at their purchasing choices that feature more natural ingredients that support their skin from the inside out.
Did you know there are biological similarities between seawater and human plasma. The balance of nutrients in marine ingredients are similar to what the human tissue needs. This was explained by Angela Eriksen-Stanley, the director of education for Phytomer Group.
Our goal at the salon is to enhance and catalyze the skin’s repair process along with the marine products that will soothe and heal tissue rapidly which we call cell recovery. The process of the new skin cells coming up from underneath what you see on the top takes about 38-30 days. To appear younger and keep our skin younger looking we must work from the inside out by correcting damage underneath the cells will be repaired and smooth out the skin on top with constant renewal. This is why so many medspas and salon facial treatments are effective in removing the dead skin with fruit acids, hyluronic acids to slough off, clean off the dead cells that accumulate their appearing to “wrinkle”. When we constant remove them from the surface, our new skin will move to the top quickly and give our skin the fresh look and more youthful appearance.
Did you know there are over 40,000 species of seaweed? Fascinating. Thousands of types of algae available, product formulators have their work cut out which I have experienced. Every little item that you put into a mixture will have an effect on the result and outcome of the product. One comment was made believing that peptides extracted from green microalgae Chlorella provide amazing anti-aging benefits. the peptides derived from it provide amino acids to the fibroblasts. This helps to make collagen cellulite reduce. The bacteria Thermus thermophilus contain enzymes that help protect the skin itself. This particular bacteria was found on the coast of Japan in 1971 and is extremely stable because of the harsh environment that it was growing in. Though you might find this interesting, as we age Stem cells make repairs to our skin, but as we age they slow and even lose their ability to move around in the tissue to where repairs are needed.
At Indulge Salon we can’t stop the aging process but we certainly can slow it down. While we have to realize that the type of lifestyle we lead can lend itself to speeding up the aging process. Late nights, too many cheese fries, grease pit food, not enough quality rest, stress, anger, boyfriend issues, husband issues, children, you name it, etc. can have major impact on our biological age.
