As spring continues warm up Petaluma, and summer weather rapidly approaches, you may find yourself wondering what the best hair removal option for you is. As technology advances, more and more options are becoming available. Despite this variety, however, waxing remains one of the most popular options.

When most people think of waxing, they think of pain. Surprisingly, though, waxing can actually be less painful than other options, such as shaving. It is also a long-term solution to hair removal. If this still isn’t enough to convince you, here is a list of the top benefits of waxing.

Long Term Results

If shaving is your current go-to for hair removal, you may find yourself having to shave every other day or sometimes even daily. This can be time-consuming, and it can actually damage your skin. Unlike shaving, which simply trims the lengths of the hair, waxing removes the hair at the root. This means that you only have to wax every few weeks as opposed to multiple times in a single week. This makes waxing more time – and cost – efficient as opposed to shaving.

Less Painful

You read that right! Waxing can actually be less painful than shaving. This is due to the fact that shaving is a one-time shock that quickly ebbs away while shaving repeatedly damages the skin through irritation, razor bumps, and the occasional knick. Waxing also rarely itches after the process is finished, leaving you to enjoy your smooth skin without discomfort.

Smoother Skin

Since waxing is relatively damage-free, your skin doesn’t have to suffer any of the nasty post-shaving complications of rashes or razor bumps. This allows you to enjoy smoother skin immediately. Also, since waxing removes the hair from the very source, it grows back smoothly. Shaving cuts the hair at an angle, causing it to grow through an awkward phase of stubbly roughness. With shaving, your time to enjoy the smoothness of your legs is short-lived, as sometimes the hair can grow back within a day.

Cost Effective

When compared to options like laser hair removal, waxing is defiantly the more budget-friendly choice. With the rise of DIY wax kits that you can easily use at home, you can have permanent hair removal at the fraction of a cost. Waxing is also cheaper in comparison to shaving as you won’t need all the supplies – razor, shaving cream, etc – that shaving involves. Wax kits are a one-time purchase every 3 to 6 weeks.

Final Thoughts

Waxing for the first time can seem an intimidating task, however, with our professional touch you will find your skin singing with smoothness. Schedule your appointment today at Laura Skin Care, where our gentle touch and low temperature wax will put you at ease.

3 Tips for Spring Skincare

Laura Pagliaroni Skin Care Apr 03, 2019 Comments Off

As we anticipate the rapidly approaching spring weather, it’s important to say goodbye to by starting with the most important place: our skin. With all the recent heavy rains adding to the already dreary winter weather, it’s no surprise that our skin is the first to be affected.

Don’t fret, however! With the new season comes the opportunity to begin a brand new, spring-inspired skin routine. Not sure where to start? Get ready to step into springtime by waking up your skin with these 3 steps.

1. Start The Season With A Scrub

Rain and snow and sludge, oh my! Winter weather has all the perfect conditions to clog your skin and allow dead skin to build up. All of this can hide your skin’s natural shine – giving it a dull and aged appearance. Kick off your spring skincare with an exfoliating scrub. During the winter, exfoliating can strip your skin of the little moisture it has, adding to that inflamed and blotchy appearance. Come spring, however, an exfoliating scrub a few times a week can be just what your skin needs. Try buying a gentle scrub, or even making your own!

2. Less Is More

With spring comes much appreciated warm weather. As the temperatures quickly reach the upper digits, you’ll be trading your winter coats and rainboots for sandals and t-shirts. Treat your skincare routine the same way! Sure, those heavy foundations and balms are great for dry and cracked winter skin, but they can weigh you down in heavy weather.
Instead of using heavy moisturizers and makeup, try switching to lightweight foundations and more natural makeup – your skin will thank you! This doesn’t mean you have to give up bold lips and eyes forever, though. Save those looks for the evening when the air is cooler and less humid. To cut down on products, try switching to a tinted moisturizer with SPF. This will allow you to get your moisturizer, UV protectant, and foundation in one product instead of three.

3. Spring Cleaning

Spring cleaning goes further than dusting and scrubbing the floors, and a good cleaning can help your skin through this tough transition. Clean your pillowcases, wash your makeup brushes – everything that comes into contact with your face. If winter was bad about clogging your skin with the weather, spring – with its pollen and other allergens – can be detrimental. By cleaning your tools and fabrics often, you’ll help prevent breakouts and clogged pores. Healthy, clean skin amplifies your natural glow – helping you to appear like the springtime goddess you are.

Final Thoughts

With Spring on its way, it’s time to change up your skin care routine to match. These at-home tips will go a long way in helping your skin remain happy and healthy. Don’t forget to treat yourself to a professional spring cleaning as well! Give us a call today here at Laura Skin Care in Petaluma, CA.

Building A Skin Care Routine

Having fantastic skin isn’t just about getting lucky with your genetics, it also comes from having a great skincare routine. Your morning and evening routines play a huge role in ensuring the health and beauty of your skin. In this article, we are going to discuss the three core steps that should always be included in your skincare routine.

The main goal of any skin-care routine is to keep your skin at its best and treat any type of blemishes that may crop up. The three core parts of your daily routine should include:

Cleaning
Toning
Moisturizing

Cleaning

Every day cleaning will help to freshen your pores by removing unnecessary oils and any microscopic debris that may be plugging your skin. This part of your skin-care routine doesn’t have to be extreme, in fact, daily in-depth exfoliation may prove more harmful than helpful. So instead choose a gentle cleaner for everyday use, and an exfoliator type cleanser for once to twice per week use. Your skin will thank you! After you’re done cleaning and rinsing with lukewarm water, be sure to give one final rinse with cold water to close up your pores and keep your skin feeling fantastic.

Toning

The overall goal of any skin-care routine is to keep your skin healthy and your complexion clear. These two factors will keep your skin looking their best while additionally allowing you to take a closer look at problem areas. Use of a good toner will remove any remaining bits of oil, dirt, and debris that may have been left behind by the cleanser. More importantly, the toner will help soothe, nourish and hydrate your skin, all while restoring its delicate pH balance.

Moisturizing

While some toners provide hydration to your skin, they won’t necessarily provide it with adequate moisture. What’s the difference you ask? Both moisturizers and hydrators server a similar purpose, however, it’s their methods that differ. Hydrators ensure your skin has the necessary water content within your skin, allowing it to be plump and bouncy. Moisturizers, on the other hand, work to keep the water within your skin where it belongs while softening and keeping dry skin smooth to the touch.

Final thoughts

With appropriate products that fit your skincare needs, your at home beauty routine will have your skin feeling fresh, young, and beautiful. If you’re unsure if your skin is dry or dehydrated, be sure to make an appointment with us right here at Laura Skin Care, where we will assess your skin type and guide you to the perfect products to optimize your skin care routine.
