“What is that?!”

“It looks like (dropping into a whisper) something from an S&M movie.”

“That looks (gulp) scary…”

Aaaah, the poor Iderm machine. I know it looks scary, but unless you suffer claustrophobia the Iderm facial will be your new best friend. I swear! It’s built on 50 years of skin care technology and designed to be very comfortable, soothing even, as it makes deep and lasting improvements to your skin.

The Iderm Facial

The galvanic power of Iderm has been praised by Oprah, The Doctors, and Housewives of Beverly Hills. This galvanic facial provides dramatic results for the skin from the inside out. The Iderm is known as Hollywood’s best kept secret because the science behind the Iderm’s exclusive process increases circulation and provides nourishment, while decreasing inflammation, minimizing bacterial growth and pore size, and evening out pigment.

Uhhh, So what is it exactly?

Okay, okay. Let me see if I can explain this in a more simple way. The Iderm is an exclusive process that increases circulation and provides nourishment, while decreasing inflammation, minimizing bacterial growth and pore size, and evening out pigment. By acting like a magnet (that’s what galvanic is really, a magnet) it draws impurities out of the skin (imagine two magnets with the same polarity pushing apart) and pushes product deeply into the skin’s cells (imagine two magnets of different polarity pulling together) while exercising the muscles and tissues of the face (think those stimulating ab belts) at the same time.

Oh! That’s cool. What it like?

You can expect wet pads of various solutions to be put on your face, neck, and chest and then those leather pads with the metal numbs on them to be placed over the wet pads. It’s those nubs that allow the galvanic to push and pull. The leather is there because it can withstand all the solutions and be sanitized. Most people say the treatment is very comfortable and even soothing. You lie and have your hands and feet rubbed for 40min or so. Many fall asleep or zone out.

Neat! What can I expect?

With your treatment your skin will experience immediate results feeling refreshed, tightened and hydrated. Maintaining your facial treatments over time with Iderm will improve the color, texture, firmness, tone and health of the skin. With a series the benefits will go deeper and last longer. Fans of the Iderm say it can make them look 10 years younger and increases the results of any of their other treatments. So go ahead. Love the Iderm. It’s totally heavy metal!!

Fall 2013 Makeup Trends

Posted on Cybil SolynLeave a commentPosted in Makeup

This year, the hot makeup trends are both subtle and bold. Check out these three trendy looks.

Bold Lips
Be daring with a bold lip color like candy apple red or hot pink. Jane Iredale has 6 new shades of red and 5 pinks so you’ll be sure to find the one perfect for you. It might be a little intimating to breakout a blast of color, but I swear that once you start sporting a bold color you will be the envy of all. I literally just had a client in my office who I put a bold red on. She freaked out saying to was too dark and looked freaky. I asked her to wear it for me until she left the studio. My next client walked in a few minutes later, looked at her as she was putting her shoes on and said, “OMG! I wish I could pull off that color. You look amazing.” I smiled and the both ended up buying a bold color that they now love getting compliments on.

Metallic eyes
Shining blues and shimmering pinks will grace the lids of many women this year. I’ve seen the Jane Iredale Pearl Powder on just about every model gracing a cover this month! While this look is typically reserved for a night out on the town, more and more women are sporting the fun look everyday. Of course, metallic eyes must carefully be paired with bold lips or a more mellow color for daytime, but at night be bold by pairing them both together.

Barely-there makeup
If you wouldn’t dream of wearing bold lips or metallic eye colors, there is a more subtle trend in makeup too. Trendsetters say the barely-there look is in. The foundation of this look is, you guessed it, your foundation. This is simple with the right Jane Iredale base. Come in for a color match if you aren’t already using the best barely there, perfect coverage, skin care makeup on earth. Add a warm eye shadow color and glossy lips and you’re set. A trick I like to use for barely there makeup is add the blush color to the eye lip in the crease. It will pull the look together seamlessly.

Remember, makeup is something to have fun with. So many of us get in our heads about what we can and can’t wear, but for every so called makeup “rule” out there, there’s another one that tells us to break it. So try something different. It’s not a tattoo, you can take it off. Play! Have fun! And see how changing up your style turns heads and gets you noticed.

Solving the Facial Mask Mystery

Posted on Cybil SolynLeave a commentPosted in Skincare

Facials aren’t a one-size-fits all process. Every person that schedules a treatment is as unique as the treatment provided. When you come in for a facial, we will ask several questions about your skin and create a specific mask for your skin type. Here’s a look at the benefits of various facial masks.

Clay and mud masks
These masks are great for oily skin types. The thick cream will absorb excess oil and clear your pores, which will prevent blemishes from popping up. People with oily skin often have problems with acne and use clay masks to balance their skin. While clay masks wage war on oil, it can also leave behind dry patches. You’ll want to apply a facial moisturizer after a clay mask.

Hydration masks
If your face is prone to dry skin, you’ll want to look into a hydration mask. These moisture-rich creams infuse your skin with the ingredients it needs to stay flexible. These masks are particularly helpful for people with hard water, which often leaves skin rough and patchy.

Firming masks
If you want to fight the signs of aging, you’ll want to apply a firming mask. These masks are used to treat sagging or loose skin. The masks are chock-full of ingredients that stimulate the collagen in your skin, promoting a younger look. While the main purpose of this mask is to tighten the skin, it can also improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles.

Facial masks are one of the primary components of a facial. Be sure to schedule a facial to experience the rejuvenating effects of these great masks.
