You keep hearing it, “Drink more water!” But by the time the sun has set you realize you’ve only consumed a paltry two glasses. Here are a few tricks to stay hydrated. Upon rising, drink a large glass of water.  Think about it.  You have been asleep for at least eight hours and haven’t  had a single drop of water.  Your body is dehydrated.  Drinking a robust amount of water in the morning combats that dehydration. While at work do you notice that you easily forget to drink water?  I like to take a sip of water every time I do something repetitive.  Designate something that you do often as.

LED FACIALS Holistic Facials in Peoria? Yes! Looking for a non-invasive way to boost collagen?  Ever hear about Light Therapy?  NASA scientists were looking for a way to heal astronauts in space and discovered that different colored lights could penetrate the skin at different levels, seriously affecting change. I use the blue lights to heal acne clients.  This has been FDA approved to clinically kill the bacteria that causes acne.

Green Tea:  Healthy Skin with Benefits Did you know drinking 2-3 cups of Green tea could radically improve your skin, fight dementia, and keep allergies at bay?  Green tea is naturally rich in catechin, a powerful antioxidant.  Splash some lemon juice in your cup and the vitamin C will synergistically maximize your body’s ability to absorb those free-radical fighting goodies. Applied topically, it boosts sun protection factors.  I use Osmosis Skin Care at the Sanctuary Day Spa (formerly Skin Therapy by Errin).  Each facial ends with the application of Shade, a physical sunscreen enhanced with green tea extract.

How To Prepare for a Brazilian Wax

What to know about Brazilian Waxing before you go. Here are some pointers for the uninitiated. The first thing you should do before your Brazilian Wax is stop shaving and make an appointment 2 to 5 weeks out. I know, that seems like an eternity, but your hair grows in cycles, and we can wax more hair during your appointment. Make sure that your appointment does not coincide with your menstrual cycle. The week prior to your cycle can be especially sensitive! Keep a trimmer handy and trim down the hair as it grows out. I really only need a 1/4 of an inch, or the size of a grain.

Three Easy Tricks to Beat the Winter Itch

Dry skin? Here are three tips that can help: 1.

How can you eat and drink your way to beauty? This winter try beets. This amazing superfood brings a powerful punch to the table.
