Last week I mentioned that our Skin Care Specialists at Indulge won’t perform chemical peels in the summer months because of the risk of burning fresh skin. But even though the calendar tells us its spring, summer sun still seems to be quite a ways off. Why not take advantage and get a peel while you still can.

If you are considering a chemical peel, let me tell you about one of my favorites.  The “Baby Boomer Peel” is a little more assertive than most—perhaps that’s why I like it. It includes three phase cleansing, chemical peel, and after care check-up all for $188. This three part treatment improves discoloration, fine lines, and coarser texture that comes with age and stress or genetics. This specific peel will help reduce enlarged pores, and spice up the dull lifeless skin by a thorough cleansing of stronger additives used to clean safely. It is specialized for individual needs giving your skin the ultimate in a peel experience.

The skin actually will give a visual exfoliation for at least one week as it starts to peel. Some may peel like a fresh tan or others may not peel as much, each individual experience is different depending on the amount of dead skin that has accumulated over the years. The skin’s appearance will continue to improve from underneath the dead skin that has been layered on top and new skin will start to emerge after a week. You will be given products for immediate after care and that will be recommended for continued optimum effects. Follow up skin treatment is required for us to check on your progress or if you have questions. Post care included.

In my next few posts I will highlight a couple of alternative treatments to chemical peels—but I assure you “The Baby Boomer” is worth it and remains one of my personal favorites!

Green coffee beans have been making headlines lately, touted for having natural anti-oxidant that have been linked to promoting appetite suppression, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol , enhanced energy levels, and weight loss (see a fact sheet from Dr. Oz on green coffee beans for weight loss at  www.doctoroz.com. But coffee beans are also an excellent exfoliate that promote anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects on the skin, and stimulate collagen production for fresher, more youthful skin.

I’m a sporadic spring cleaner. With random bursts of energy (or sometimes frustration …), I find myself tackling odd deep cleaning jobs in spurts.  Totally unplanned I’ll suddenly clean out the silverware drawer, wiping down all of the different compartments and replacing clean flatware, and then pleased with that minor accomplishment, I’ll move on to a kitchen cupboard. Anything but the plastic storage container cupboard — that’s beyond help in my house!

Anyway, this weekend I found myself cleaning out the bathroom closet and vanity. But more than just cleaning — I purged!!!  It’s funny, I haven’t used any other brand of lotions or body butter since I started Indulge Pure Originals, but for some reason I still had half empty bottles of drugstore stuff just hanging around. Not anymore! I got rid of expired sunscreens and medicated lotions, moisturizers I will never use. I cleaned and organized my makeup brushes and disposed of a few not worthy of saving.

Then I made a quick list of the few things I was low on and needed to replenish. Now, not only does everything have a nice clean place, it’s grouped together by type of product and is visually pleasing instead of cluttered. It was a pleasure to get ready in my spring-clean bathroom this morning! I challenge you to do the same.

And please remember Indulge Pure Originals (https://www.indulgesalon.com/indulge-pure-originals) as you get your vanity spring-clean. I’ll write more on them later — but if you’ve tried them, it’s a great time to update them; and if you haven’t, it’s the perfect time to stop by either of our York salons at 970 South George Street or 2801 East Market Street and pick up a body butter bar and lotion.
