Enjoy a Complimentary Custom Make Up Consultation with any Jan Iredale Purchase

A message from our Medical Esthetician, Lindsey Tisdale:

Jane Iredale mineral powders have changed the perception of makeup. They have become an integral part of patient care world-wide because of their benefits to the skin and their ability to conceal almost any distraction. Known as The Skin Care Makeup, they are a foundation, concealer, powder, and sunscreen all in one. They contain a physical, not chemical sunscreen. This means that the powders begin their protection immediately and do not absorb into the skin. The mineral bases are concentrated pigment-undiluted by talc-they give unsurpassed coverage while allowing the skin to breathe and function normally. They also contain algae extracts that help prevent dehydration, calm the skin and provide it with much needed antioxidants. They resist running, creasing, and smearing. They hold tightly to the skin because they comprise a variety of particle sizes that cling together and create surface tension that overcomes gravity. They were awarded a “Very Water Resistant” rating in an FDA-approved lab because they withstood 80 minutes in moving water and also maintained their SPF rating!

Tip of the Month: MINERALS FOR CAMOUFLAGE

Because the minerals are concentrated pigment, camouflage can be fast and easy, especially when covering any type of redness or erythema. Skin conditions such as rosacea or acne, or procedures like chemical peels and microdermabrasion often result in red, inflamed skin. A yellow base such as Warm Silk or Golden Glow is the key to covering pronounced redness. You do not need green, which gives you an ashy pallor to the skin. You may need additional mineral camouflage for conditions such as bruising, scarring, hyperpigmentation and vitiligo.

More Helpful Tips:

*It’s better to layer minerals than try to cover everything at once.

*If the minerals look too powdery, wait a few minutes for your skin’s natural oils to emerge.

*An uneven finish may be caused by the use of traditional cosmetic sponges, which drag product on the skin instead of blending it. If you use a sponge, I recommend the Flocked Sponge. It is the perfect tool for blending.

*Light colors pull things forward. Dark colors make things recede.

IMPORTANT: NEVER ATTEMPT CAMOUFLAGE AFTER A MEDICAL PROCEDURE WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF THE ATTENDING PHYSICIAN.

Tip of the month:

The daily use of broad-spectrum sun protection is proven to reduce the incidence of skin cancers and premature skin aging. Sun damage contributes to an estimated 85% of skin damage and aging. Are you covered? Even during the winter months, sunscreen is an imperative step for your beauty regimen. I suggest PCA’s Perfecting Protection spf30. Its light-weight formula combines superior UV protective benefits with five melanogenesis inhibitors to reduce current and prevent future skin discolorations. This revolutionary product is suitable for all skin types.

Pumpkin Peel 1/2 half off special continued by popular demand!

Pumpkin Peel half off for October and November -  $37.50 (regularly $75)

The PCA Pumpkin Peel is a powerful antioxidant keratolytic treatment that can serve as a seasonal (or all year round) alternative to other peels and therapeutic treatments. It has a built-in fruit enzyme profile and contains vitamin A derivatives that target the receptors responsible for activating cell turnover, resulting in smoother skin and more even surface texture. This therapy unites exfoliation with reduction of oxidative and free radical stress by introducing a nutritional vitamin and enzyme infusion into the skin. The aromatherapy aspect (smells like homemade pumpkin pie) is to be appreciated, as well. This treatment is appropriate for any skin type or condition and can be performed as frequently as every three weeks.
