Oxygen facial is a revolutionary treatment that leaves skin looking refreshed and luminous. Everyone who has had it was wowed by it.
It is great as a standing alone treatment or an add-on to other facial treatment.

Winter Sun Damage due to lack of protection

December 20th, 2012 • Posted by Ophelia Zhao • Permalink

Many people think it is not necessary to wear sunscreen in winter time because they don't feel much from sun. Actually, the sunlight in winter is more damaging than summer time. You really need sunblock as much as in summer.

Daytime Complexion Protection

October 4th, 2012 • Posted by Ophelia Zhao • Permalink

By Exuviance

By now we all realize how important it is to apply sunscreen at the beach, but did you know you should protect your skin against sun damage in the winter? Sun exposure doesn't just happen in the summer by the pool, or only on sunny days, it happens every day.

Your skin can still experience the effects from UVA and UVB rays in the winter, even if you are not directly in the sun. The sun's ultraviolet rays pass right through the clouds and can even penetrate glass, making you susceptible to damage during daily activities like riding in your car. The reflection of the sun's rays off snow and other bright surfaces can also contribute to skin damage so we all should take precautions to protect our skin every single day.

Applying a daily sunscreen is extremely important to help prevent skin aging as well as skin cancer. Since sun exposure is cumulative, all those quick trips to the store, commutes to work, even those precious hours outside with your kids can add up to significant, if unseen sun damage. Trust us, you might not see the damage yet, but it's there! Sunscreen works by absorbing or reflecting some of the sun's damaging ultraviolet radiation to protect against sunburn, while combating cumulative sun damage. It's important to use a sunscreen fortified with antioxidants to help protect against UV-induced free radicals, which can contribute to visible signs of aging.

There are many telltale signs of sun damage; fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, even skin cancer. The simple addition of applying a daily sunscreen with antioxidants to your existing beauty routine can make a world of difference for your skin.

He-Wax has nothing on us. We do waxing better and much less pain. You will never be dramatized like the guy in the video.
