Can you shrink your pores?

Looking through a women's magazine I came across an ad for a "pore-shrinking" skin perfecting lotion. Over the years I have seen dozens of products promising to shrink the pores.

Shrinking pores is big business but is it possible? 

Can you shrink your pores?

Smaller, nearly invisible pores are the ideal for perfect, flawless skin. Unfortunately you cant change the size of your pores. Why? Because pore size is directly related to the amount of sebum/oil that your skin produces. Is it hopeless? Is there is there nothing we can do?

NO! ...  and YES!

How to get the best results after your Microdermabrasion

Follow 3 Easy Homecare Steps for  the Best Results

Your smart must-follow skincare for the best results

Recommended home care after any light, medium and strong peel, microdermabrasion and aggressive skin treatment.

• CLEANSE: Only wash your skin with a mild, gentle cleanser, once or twice a day as needed. A clean-rinsing milky or lotion texture cleanser is preferable. 

The Pelasante Pure Cleanse lotion-texture facial wash is our recommendation

• HYDRATE: Twice a day apply moisturizer that creates a seal to protect the skin. Your moisturizer should NOT contain antioxidants, exfoliants (scrubs/AHA), essential oils or any active ingredients. Note: If it tingles WASH IT OFF. 

We recommend Pelasante Cellular Recovery Cream or LRS - lipid recovery serum capsules

• PROTECT: Sunscreen is vitally important. . Apply SPF daily. Reapply every 2 hours especially if you are sweating, swimming or are outside for long periods of time. 

NOTE: Your skin is at a higher risk of irritation, sunburn and sensitivity after your treatment. 

After our treatments we recommend: Pelasante Anti-PhotoAging SPF 50+ or the Pelasante BB Cream SPF 50 with universal tint

•  Hats are also your friend! So be stylish and put on your wide brim chapeau. 

Follow this home care routine for 3 to 5 days or until recommended by your skincare professional. Then go back to your normal skincare routine.

If your skin tingles unpleasantly when you return to your normal routine then you should continue with the above 3 step routine for a couple more days or until your skin has completely calmed.

3 important tips for best results after aggressive treatments

• Avoid using anti-oxidants after your treatments.

- the skin is going through its natural repair mechanism so using an anti-oxidant will interfere with that process.

• Avoid anything exfoliating (removes skin cells) 

Continuing exfoliation will just make your skin sensitive and raw. Plus it interferes with the skins natural healing process. Exfoliants include all scrubs, AHA's such as glycolic acid, lactic acid, BHA's such as salicylic acid or citric acid, facial brushes and washcloths.

• Avoid any essential oils, perfumes or active ingredients.

Essential oils are VOC's - volatile organic compounds, and instead of being good for the skin after treatments it can make the skin more sensitive and inflamed. Note: Tea tree oil should be avoided too.

The trick after any aggressive treatment is to avoid irritating, stimulating or interfering with the skins natural healing process. It takes 3 to 5 days for the skin to heal, repair and rebuild itself. This process will create stronger, smoother and firmer looking skin - which is the goal all along. So don't do anything to mess with it.

Did you know that this 3 step homecare is recommended whenever your skin is irratated or sensitive?

The Best antiaging treatment that will leave you glowing

Anti-Aging Treatments, this is your 1st step.

Your 1st step in anti-aging facial treatments 

Oldie but a Goodie

Tidying up old brochures I picked up one I had created for our Microdermabrasion Facial Treatment.  Looking it over I realized that fancy laser treatments get more media attention these days but a Microdermabrasion still delivers immediate results without a scary healing stage.

Start your anti-aging HERE

Dr. H. Lancer recommends Microdermabrasion as the 1st step towards Anti-Aging & Recapturing your skins youth. Microdermabrasion followed by peels, are his top 2 got-to anti-aging treatments. He suggests having these treatments BEFORE getting Lasers and fillers.

Trained by leading Dermatologist

When Microdermabrasion launched onto the skincare scene, Hermina and I were trained by Dr. Moy. His specialty treatment was quite the rage and included a standard chemical peel after Microdermabrasion.

Nurse Debbie performed the Dr Moy method on me and we were impressed.  (But not so thrilled that the Moy method made me scary to small children for a week...I peeled like a snake.)

Created our own complete facial treatment

In creating our Microdermabrasion Facial Treatment we started with the Moy method then transformed it into our own:

4 Element Complete Microdermabrasion Facial

Our Tuscany Spa 4 element Microdermabrasion facial includes:

• Surface Exfoliation and smoothing with Microdermabrasion, 
• Deep Exfoliating Rejuvenation with custom chosen (non-scary) peel, 
• Deep pore cleansing to clearing out congestion and acne, 
• and Intense Hydrating Relaxation with a specialty mask and restorative massage.

The 4 Element Microdermabrasion Facial Treatment is a 90 minute spa service that leaves your skin with a smoother, clearer, brighter appearance without irritation or excess redness.


You can go right back to work or pick up the kids, and everyone will comment on how good you look. We simply call it our MICRODERMABRASION FACIAL.

Tuscany Spa's Complete Facial Treatment. Unlike anything you've had before. You gotta try it

Your skin continues to improve over the next 3 to 5 days.

Another benefit of our 4 element microdermabrasion facial is that your skin will continue to rejuvenate over the next 3 days. This treatment stimulates the skins natural repair response. It helps your skin look firmer and nearly flawless by triggering the inflammatory cascade. This means the next 3 to 5 days the skins healing process continues to create additional improvement in your skins appearance.

"When you apply your makeup 3 days after our 4 element microdermabrasion treatment, you'll notice your foundation applies better and smoother. Seriously, you can see the difference in your skin for yourself." Michelle G. Lathe

After your 4 Element Microdermabrasion Facial I recommend that you "treat your skin as if you've had a sunburn." Which means to me to be gentle and kind to your skin; avoiding anything that would inflame or irritate a sunburn such as heat, rubbing, exfoliation and especially, scrubs.

(Find out what happens when post-care explanation were NOT followed by Senseless Susie. Truth is stranger, and stupider, than fiction.) 

3 simple steps for best results after your microdermabrasion 

1. use a recommended gentle cleanser,

2. use the recommended moisturizer,

3. use sunscreen.

There are also 3 important things you need to avoid. Get details in the next post: "How to get the best results after your microdermabrasion".

Yes this is a great treatment! And yes,  I've seen outstanding results; especially with severe acne scarring, reduction of fine lines and wrinkles,including around the mouth.

Skin Care Myths, 10 Lies You Need to Know

1. Chocolate causes Acne

How to get that Sexy Decollete at the Spa

When treating the delicate skin of the decollete at the spa our focus is on exfoliating, or removing, the surface damaged cells to reveal your healthier, younger and fresher cells that are hiding below the surface.

The exfoliating treatments have the added benefits of triggering the "Inflammatory Cascade" which is how your skin regrows stronger and healthier tissues. An example of this process is working out your muscles, which creates minor trauma, only to grow stronger better muscles.

In part one we gave you several home care regimens to treat your decollete. Your skin will have improved already but you may want stronger treatments to speed up the benefits . Here are 5 Spa/Salon treatments you have at your disposal.

Did you know 1 month of bad skincare habits can age you?

I have a confession to make: I have gone to bed WITHOUT washing off my makeup. "NO!" I hear you gasp (got pretty amazing hearing haven't I?) Sadly, it's true. As an esthetician with 18 years experience I too am guilty of the #1 BAD for your Skin habit.

"It can be THAT bad" you say? Oh but it is! According to a heartbreaking article "What sleeping in your make up does to your skin: Our shocking experiment exposes the truth" they performed an experiment over one month that had horrible results; it proved that the skin aged 10 years in just 30 days!

Soothe angry inflammed skin: quickly, easily and naturally

Recently, I was consulting with a client that wanted a more natural way to treat a red, inflamed patch on her skin. I recommended she start with the estheticans GO-TO, 1st step treatment, before she do anything else.
Can you guess what it is?

THE BEST ACNE TREATMENT SECRET YOU NEED TO KNOW

Tuscany Spa's best kept acne secret

Acne sucks. 
Unfortunately, the most common and effective acne bacteria killing ingredient prescribed, turns oily, spotty, pimply skin into dry, scaly, red and raw skin. 
NOT an improvement.

How would you like to use the same powerful acne killing ingredient and look dramatically better, without the terrible side effects? 

NOW you can with this insiders trick.

How to really get more beautiful skin with oxygen

This is the tale of the fish-faced Oxygen Facial.

In the early days of the Oxygen facial fad we had the company rep demonstrate the treatment. She said it would be an "amazing treatment especially for smokers skin". I was excited to see it in action.

I managed to suppress my horrified visions of oxygen-induced fireball explosions when she sauntered into the spa with a full size Oxygen tank on wheels.

How to actually get beautiful, smoother skin ... instantly.

3 cents per day for Gorgeous Skin

The Tuscany Spa team and I have found the at-home secret to improving your skin, clearing out dead skin cells and giving your face a beautiful glow. The secret is an Exfolia Micro-Exfoliation Cloth. This reusable cloth gives you a smoother complexion in 2 minutes; just add water (lots) and your favorite cleanser.

The Exfolia MicroExfoliation Cloth has impressive properties:

What is Glycolic?

What is the buzz about Glycolic Acid and Glycolic Acid peels?

Today's blog will cover the basics about Glycolic: what is it, where its from, what it does, any concerns and why you should get a Glycolic Acid Peel.

Great prep before getting a Gly Peel Bar Treatment

• What is a Glycolic Acid?

Glycolic Acid is part of the Alpha Hydroxy family of acids. It has the smallest molecular size so works the quickest.

• Where does it come from?

It is found originally in sugar cane.

• What is a Glycolic Acid Peel?

It is an acid based exfoliating agent that has a minor tingling, heating sensation on the skin. In a peel form we use it as a Rapid Exfoliation Peel - quickly removing excess dead skin cells but without any peeling, flaking or irritation. 

• What does it do?

A Glycolic Acid Peel works by dissolving the glue that binds together dead epidermal skin cells so that you can remove the dry surface layer, revealing the smoother, brighter skin.

• Are there any concerns?

Sensitive skin may find the Glycolic Peel Bar too strong unless they prepare the skin for 2 weeks by using a Glycolic cream nightly at home.

As with all ingredients, if you havent used it before it is a good idea to use this 2 weeks before your peel to make sure you are a good candidate

• Why should I get one?

A Glycolic Peel will quickly bring back the skins natural glow, reduces the "food" (dead skin cells) that feeds the acne bacteria and reduces the appearance of dark spots, fine lines and wrinkles.

• At only $39 for peel with the March Gly Peel Bar, its a great time to get one.

SKINCARE IN-A-PINCH: Acne solution

SKINCARE IN - A - PINCH

Everyday Solutions for Skin Care Concerns

Tuscany Spas' Skincare In A Pinch

Sometimes your skin flares up and you need to do something, anything, to take care of it. Alison, RN/Esthetician, and I were discussing the skin care "in the pinch" solutions that we've used when we are desperate. Hermina, Cidesco Esthetician and MaryJaye, Esthetician/Massage Therapist joined in the discussion and we had a slew of skin care "in-a-pinch"solutions. So this series of Skin Care"In-A-Pinch" skincawas born. Let me know what you think, leave me questions and suggestions. Enjoy!

Acne is a four-letter word and it inflicts itself on both male and female, from our teen years to adulthood, on women in perimenopause through menopause. So pretty much throughout our lifetime. Our first Skin Care In-A-Pinch blog addresses Inflammatory Acne, the red, swollen, pus filled breakouts that often hurt and cant be covered by makeup. Redness may be but you cant hide the bumps. So this "in a pinch" trick is thanks to Alison Fritchie, RN and Esthetician at Tuscany Spa.

Alison, RN,LE recommends a witch-hazel as an acne compress . She was not a witch-hazel fan, too stripping and irritating for her already sensitive skin. But a Tattoo changed her mind. This tattoo actually.


Cool Tattoo on Alison of Tuscany Spa

To care for her new tattoo, Jorrel, tattoo artist extraordinaire at The Monocle Tattoo, recommended gently wash it, then spray with witch-hazel and follow with lotion. The witch hazel did a wonderful job of controlling the inflammation and soothing her skin. Now she is a believer.

POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF WITCHHAZEL FOR INFLAMMATORY ACNE

•  It has anti-inflammatory properties so it can soothe the swelling
• It feels cooling on the skin
• Removes excessive oil (this is both a positive and a negative
• Although it isn't antibacterial, while it is on your skin it slows down the growth of bacteria

HOW TO USE WITCH-HAZEL TO TREAT INFLAMED, ANGRY ACNE 

by Alison Fritchie,RN,esthetician

1. Soak either cotton pads or tissues in witch hazel to make compresses.
2. apply compress directly on your breakouts, leave on 10-20 minutes.(Avoid your eyes and nostrils).
3. Remove compresses and apply your lightweight lotion directly over the residue.

How often can you use a Witchhazel compress

• You can use this witchhazel Compress twice a day for 3 days to reduce inflamation.
•  Then give your skin a rest, at least 3 days.
• Maintenance and Ongoing use should be once or twice a week and ONLY as needed.

NOT OVERUSING WITCHHAZEL is extremely important

1. Overuse strips the skins natural oils and acid mantle which leads to more irritation
2. It can make acne worse due to this irritation
3. It becomes less effective if overused.

 Witchhazel is usually alcohol based due to the way it is distilled. But the alcohol can be stripping and irritating which can make acne worse, so dont over use it. If your skin is not extremely oily  look for witchhazel with lower alcohol concentration or try the alcohol free brand. Note: we have not tried the alcohol free version ourselves to verify that it will work as well but we have no reason to think that it wouldn't. So it may be worth a try.

Let us know how this works for you. We always appreciate your feedback.

To really clean, clear and calm your skin remember to book your Tuscany Spa Detox/ Clarifying Acne Facial at www.TuscanySkinSpa.com or call 818-248-5500. I am not the only esthetician at our spa that loves clearing out an acne skin. So you cant blame me for adding this call to action.

Lunchtime Peels: How to improve your beautiful skin quickly

Your "Lunch-time" Peel Deal

The "lunch-time" Peels cost $80 to $95. These treatments offer incredible results.  Afterwards you can return to work or your daily life, immediately, without flaking, redness or peeling. Which is why these peels are often called a "lunch-time" Peel.

Results from lunch-time peels are visible even after 1 treatment. They help clear acneic skin, brighten and even out skin tone, help reverse the visible signs of aging by improving and reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sagging and dark spots.

"Reveal fresher, younger skin in under 30 minutes."

Achieve maximum results with a series of 4 or 6. Series can be pre-purchased for a considerable savings.

You can also enhance your 90 minute Tuscany Spa Signature facials  with a "lunch-time" peel. This increases the benefits of both the facial and peel to create your own customized invigorating antiaging, acne or relaxing treatment.

Keep reading for more information on the who, what, when and why of Lunch-Time Peels.

Click here to schedule an appointment now.

(Update: Join our $99 Monthly Membership program and save on facials/ massage, products and additional enhancements and services.)  



What does "Lunch-Time" mean

• A Lunch Time peel is a Rapid exfoliation peel which means it quickly takes off surface dead skin cell leaving the epidermis (top skin layer) intact. 
• A Lunch Time/Rapid Exfoliation peel is different from Chemical Peels. 
• Chemical peels are meant to completely remove the epidermis skin and leaves the skin raw or peeling. 

Benefits of Lunch-Time Peels

• Very effective in treating a large range of skin concerns such as aging, sun damage, acne, mild scarring, improving skin brightness, and evening skin tone. 
• Help with improving skin texture and firmness by triggering the skins inflammatory cascade mechanism which stimulates the cells regrowth. 
• (Think of it as a workout for your face, the same way weight training builds muscles, Lunch-time peels "build" up your skin cells.)
• Smoothing off the surface removes the environmentally damaged cells that show the ravages of time. It reveals the healthier skin hiding underneath.
• Removes the damage caused by months of sun-soaked summer vacations and activities. 

What is a "Lunch-Time" peel

• A peel is an acidic solution that is applied to the skin. 
• Lunch-time peel dissolves the outermost layer of skin cells,  to reveal the fresher, younger layer below while leaving the epidermis intact. 
• "Lunch-Time " Rapid Exfoliation peels can be light or moderate. 
• Light peels and most Moderate peels require no down time from work and your normal activities. 
• Moderate peels may  leave the skin with a day or two of mild sensitivity and/or minimal redness or slight flaking. 

Preparing for treatment

• Most skin colors and types can benefit from chemical peels, though it is best to check with your esthetician about which peel might be right for you. 
• If you’re taking acne medication, Retin-A or Accutane, talk to your esthetician and/or doctor about stopping the medication before and during treatment to avoid complications. 
• Your esthetician can review any other contraindications with you prior to your treatment to determine if a chemical peel is right for you. 
• Be sure to get a thorough consultation prior to your peel.

What to expect during your peel

• The skin is cleansed and a prep solution is applied to remove surface oils and allow the peel to penetrate the skin evenly. 
• Any sensitive areas that cannot be treated are protected with a thin film of petroleum jelly. Your eyes are covered to protect them. 
• One or more chemical mixtures will be applied, such as glycolic acid (from sugar cane), trichloroacetic acid (similar to bleach), salicylic acid (wintergreen—good for acne), lactic acid (milk), mandelic acid (bitter almonds - good for sensitive skin acne), or a combination of these.
• The peel will be applied with brush, cotton swab or gauze in a thin, even layer.
• One, or multiple layers, may be applied to the skin depending on the type of peel, depth of penetration and skin response.
• The acids react with the skin to produce a “controlled wound,” to trigger the skins natural inflammatory cascade. This allows fresh skin to regenerate and emerge.
•  A tingling, warm or prickling sensation is normal; a fan will help reduce uncomfortable sensations. 
•  Most peels remain on the skin only a few minutes, and are closely watched by the esthetician. 
•  After some peels, a neutralizing solution is applied to stop the peel. Other peels are self-timed and stop on their own.

After the peel

•  It is vital to apply sunscreen of SPF 30 or greater to the skin for the next 48 hours, minimum. (Using sunscreen DAILY should be part of your regular routine to maintain the best results)
• You must also stay out of the sun, as your skin will be very sensitive to UV rays and could be damaged by sun exposure. 
• Sun-damaged areas of your skin will appear darker at first, then will lighten. This is normal.
• To assist in removing the flaking skin, an enzyme peel or light microdermabrasion treatment is sometimes scheduled a week or so after the initial peel. 
• For maximum results, a series of peels is usually recommended, and may be necessary for treating challenging issues such as hyperpigmentation.

Home care after any peel

• Follow the advice of your esthetician/skincare therapist. They will recommend nourishing and healing products to use following your peel. 
• The correct homecare will keep your skin in balance to enhance the benefits of the peel. 
• Plus your homecare ensures you get the best results because it helps your natural recovery and rebuilding process.

Can you get a peel all year-round?

• The best time to have a lunch-time peel is from fall to spring when the weather is cooler. 
• I recommend you take the summer time OFF of peels and exfoliating treatments. During summer months focus on hydrating and post-sun calming treatments.
• Peels can be done in a series of 6 then take at least one month off to give the skin a "rest". 

Book your own Lunch-time Peel today. Call 818-248-5500 or schedule your appointment online.

IMPORTANT NOTE: 

If you are a new client, I recommend FIRST to schedule a complimentary 5 minute PEEL PATCH TEST appointment. Your patch test should be at least 2 days before any peel is performed on your face/skin. The patch test checks for sensitivites, allergies or negative results we want to avoid.

A patch test is performed by applying the peel solution on a small spot behind or in front of your ear. You will know within 24 or 48 hours if you have any sensitivities to the peel.

NEVER, EVER DO A PEEL WITHOUT CHECKING FOR SENSITIVIES OR HAVING A FULL CONSULTATION WITH YOUR ESTHETICIAN/SKINCARE THERAPIST.


I look forward to hearing your experiences with Lunch-time Peels. Have you had them before and how did they work for you? Please let me know if you have any questions regarding our LunchTime Peels.

Green Peel for QueBecca

We are getting set up to give our Becca a deep peel with the Herbal Green Peel. This will be her last peel with us before her and her husband relocate to Quebec, Canada. So we are going to go through the process together on our blog.

I have enclosed a link to the video about the Green Peel and before and after photos. It is a wonderful alternative to chemical peels. It smooths lines, reduces scarring, regenerates tissue and reveals healthy, smooth radiant skin.

We will be posting our before, during and after photos of Que-Becca getting this treatment, probably one of the last we get to give her. She has had this Green Herbal Peel before and has loved the results.

If you have any questions, please feel free to post them.

Michelle

PS: Since she is moving to Quebec, I am on a one-woman mission to change the name of our Becca to Que-Becca. So when you see her next time say Hi to Que-Becca. ;-)
