Enzyme Peels
An enzyme peel is a surface exfoliation that removes the top layer of dead
cells without wounding the skin. It uncovers the underlying layers of younger,
smoother skin with more uniform pigmentation, improved texture and contour, and
a more translucent, glowing appearance. After the surface layer is removed,
products applied to the skin, such as moisturizers, creams or lotions,
penetrate it much easier and more effectively. Enzyme peel

professional to decide whether enzyme peeling can benefit your skin condition.
Facial Redness
While exercise can be good for the body, it may not be as good for someone
with rosacea, an acne-like facial disorder that affects an estimated 13 million
Americans. A recent survey published in Rosacea Review found that rosacea
sufferers nearly always are able to minimize flare-ups by modifying their
exercise routine. Exercises caused flare-ups in 55% of runners; 46% bicyclists
and swimmers; and 39% of those who performed aerobics. Moderation is the key to
a satisfactory exercise program for many rosacea sufferers. Some steps to take
include:
· Avoid heavy exertion or high-intensity workouts that
cause overheating and bring on flushing. Replace with low-intensity exercise
routines.
· Exercise for shorter, more frequent intervals.
· During warm weather, exercise early in the morning
or early evening.
· Protect the face from the sun, and avoid humid,
windy or cold weather.
· Make sure the room is well ventilated when
exercising indoors. Use a fan or air conditioner to avoid overheating.
· Keep as cool as possible. Drape a cool, damp towel
around the neck, drink cold fluids, chew on ice chips or spray the face with
cool water.

Facial Experience
One of the first services you’ll see listed on most spa menus is facials—and
usually you’ll find a variety of choices—from basic, deep cleansing,
hydrating, aromatherapy or exfoliating—to
name a few. Every spa has unique names for facials, too, and customizes them to
suit your needs. Although the choices can be overwhelming, an esthetician can
decide what is best for your skin, based on its condition, history and
sensitivities.
It’s probably safe to say that no two facials are exactly the same,
because no two clients are exactly the same. Basic procedures
are similar, but the length of time spent on each step, the amount of product
used and application sequences can differ from one client to another. That’s
what makes facials, or any body treatment for that matter, so special. Caring
for the face, one of the most exposed areas of the skin, truly is one of life’s
rewards and part of your total well-being.

symptoms, and remedies to increase the

that “like cures like.” Following this principle, remedies extracted from
flowers, herbs and plants are introduced to the body in small, diluted doses to
strengthen the body’s natural immune and defense systems against the
identified symptoms.
