Keep Your Summer Figure with Body Wraps


As we soon Approach the fall festive season there's always the dreaded worry of weight gain. We work so hard all spring to get that amazing summer figure so why toss all that work down the drain because you want a few extra slices of turkey? Well here at Organic Rose we have a solution that will let you cook your pumpkin pie and eat it to. How you ask? With Body Wraps.

Body wraps have been used for centuries as a proven method of removing toxins and excess fat from the body. The process starts by using dry brushing on the entire body starting from the feet, and ending with the hands. This method helps to stimulate the blood cells and help with proper circulation to aid in the removal of toxins . Next we use an organic based honey and almond scrub, mixed with yogurt. The honey acts, as a natural moisturizer for the skin. The Almond grannuals  create a form of exfoliation to aid in the removal of dead skin. Why the extra exfoliation in the body you ask? Being that the skin on the body is much thicker then the skin on the face, we find that the body needs extra exfoliation to remove the build up of dead skin. Yogurt is next in our body cleansing process the yogurt is used for its natural enzymes, which help create a lighting, and brightening effect on the skin. 

After the skin has been cleansed and exfoliated we apply an herbal based  warming serum. This allows the body to create its own heat and help speed up the removal of toxins. Next a unique formula combines a proven combination of plant and algae extracts with high concentrations of caffeine, essential oils and thermal agents that help our bodies largest eliminating system - our skin- to release the toxins trapped below the surface and between subcutaneous fat cells. This produces an immediate visible effect as inches are lost, skin is toned and tightens, and cellulite is reduced to smooth out that cottage cheese look we've all come to know - but not love. 

The body is then wrapped in thermal blankets, to maintain the heat within the skin. The guest sit wrapped for approximately 30 mins. The total timing of the complete body wrap is at-least an hour and 1/2. Once timing is up your Esthetician will remove the thermal sheets and apply warm towels to remove the excess serums. We like to add a custom blend of organic Shea butter, and lavender as a body moisturizer to complete the treatment.  Clients have said to lose record amounts of inches from as little as 6 inches in a single treatment to over inches done on a consecutive basis. So how many times can one have this done? We here at Organic Rose Skin Care Center ask our guest to come in for weekly wrap treatments for best inch loss effects, and at least once a month as a detox treatment.

Top Natural Ingredients that help reduce hyperpigmentation aka dark spots sun spots

Now that Summer is almost over this is usually the time where my clients start coming in for their resurfacing treatments. They are noticing that their hyper-pigmentation is more noticeable due to the damage from UV rays caused by the sun. Hyper-pigmentation is the medical term for dark spots, sunspots, and age spots. This occurs when the skin has an over production of melanocytes. 
   Ingredients used to inhibit the melanin production such as hydroquinone,and mercury chloride used to be the go to ingredients of slowing down this process . However they have been linked to a variety of health issues even when used in smaller percentages. With more, and more consumers, and skin care therapist taking a stand against these harmful ingredients, we have listed a few of the top plant extracts that nature has given us the answers to help reverse the signs of hyperpigmentation. The following are 5 strongest Natural alternatives to slow down the signs of hyper-pigmentation.

1.Licorice Root Extract
Reduces hyper-pigmentation by blocking tyrosinase a skin enzyme responsible for the pigmentation process.

2. Willow Bark Extract
 It provides a natural Beta-Hydroxy Acid ( an anti aging ingredient )without skin irritation. It enhances cell renewal and encourages the shedding of dead skin, revealing a brighter looking complexion.

3. Bellis Daisy
A skin-brightening agent derived from Daisy Flowers. Known to help reduce melanin activity, provide even pigmentation and makes age spots less visible.

4.  Watermelon Extract
 Highly purified watermelon extract protects DNA in skin cells from damage caused by UV-ligh induced free radicals. Decreases erythema (redness) after UV expousure. Also Contains Amino Acids.

5. Kojic Acid
 Derived from a variety of fungi, its able to help decrease the number of melanosomes and dendrites helping to treat hyper-pigmentation.

Sunscreen Sunscreen Sunscreen!

How much SPF is enough? Is a higher SPF better? What about UVA and UVB protection? These are a few of the questions, I get in the treatment room now that its summer. It is now known that UVB rays cause sunburns, but UVA rays are responsible for skin cancer and premature aging. So, it is important that you make sure your sunscreen is targeting both. 
   So what are these terms, and what dose it mean for me? SPF. This is a measure on how long a sunscreen will protect skin against sunburn. The FDA has proposed that SPF will be capped at 50+ unless the manufacturer can provide information that supports a higher SPF number. SPF higher than 50 has been shown to offer minimal additional protection compared to sunscreens with SPF 50 and under. 
   SPF of a sunscreen tells you two things: how long you can stay in the sun and how well the formula filters the sun’s rays. First, if you take the amount of minutes you can stay in the sun before turning pink and then multiply that number by the SPF rating, you get the amount of time you can spend in the sun using that sunscreen. For example, if you are normally able to stay in the sun for 10 minutes without burning and the SPF of your sunscreen formula is 20, and it is applied correctly, your sunscreen will protect you for 200 minutes before your skin starts to burn. How well the formula filters the suns rays goes as follows.
  • SPF 2 blocks about 50% of UVB rays.
  • SPF 10 blocks about 85% of UVB rays.
  • SPF 15 blocks about 95% of UVB rays.
  • SPF 30 blocks about 97% of UVB rays.
What is Broad-spectrum? A sunscreen must meet broad-spectrum testing, which measures the UVA protection in relation to the UVB protection in a product. Sunscreens that pass the broad-spectrum test may be labeled “broad-spectrum,” indicating that they protect against both UVA and UVB rays. Sunscreens with an SPF of 15 or higher can claim to reduce the risk of skin cancer or premature aging of the skin. Experts do recommend you re apply sunscreen at least every two hours.
I also listed additional questions, and myths about sunscreen.
But what about clogging the pores? You can always make sure that this is avoided by using a sunscreen that is oil free, or made for Oily, and Acne skin. Knowing that you only need to apply the higher amount of sunscreen, when you know that you are going to be out in the sun. And most importantly knowing that is should be removed when you return home, and are no longer in the sun.
My Moisturizer or Makeup has a SPF of sunscreen so I don't need to re apply sunscreen when I'm out. When you have products, that contain more than one product you are usually getting less of the add on. Lets take your common Moisturizer that has a SPF protection of 15. You have to take in consideration that your moisturizer company dose'nt specify in making SPF. and that the ingredient content cant hold on to much without cutting into the main product in this case its your moisturizer. So in conclusion, where not saying that its bad to use a product that contains most just remember that the ingredients are more effective to what the main use of the product was for, in our example case it would contain more hydrating ingredients,than SPF. And if you will be exposed to the sun out doors, that you will Apply a higher facial SPF.
I like getting a little Tan in the summer so I don't apply sunscreen because I wont tan. This is another SPF myth. Your skin will tan regardless because when your body increases its melanin production (what gives you color) It is doing so in protection of the skin. Your body is fighting the damage that will be done by trying to block the free radicals, so the rush of melanocytes that you see rise to the surface, is the result of your body blocking the sun from entering the skin so quickly. But your skin will still tan the SPF again just aids in the process of slowing down the time it will take your skin to burn,
I've included a copy of a Sunscreen Ingredient chart Below Take a look at it and see what your sunscreen is doing for you.
