Stress Awareness Month – Relieving Beauty Products To Unwind

The American Institute of Stress links stress to many serious conditions such as neurological disorders, autoimmune diseases, and more. By adopting simple steps into your everyday routine, you might find those daily stressors a whole lot easier to deal with.

Below are three stress relieving beauty products to unwind from our daily beauty concerns, including a conditioning mascara that reduces tension from lash extensions, a green tea infused hair mask that restores dry and damaged hair and a vegan dark spot targeting treatment pad.

1.      neuENVY peptide enhanced mascara ($32, Nordstrom.com) Is a major stress reliever for lash extension lovers. The conditioning mascara contains a synergistic blend of powerful peptides, antioxidants and vitamins which can be used to extend the life and lushness of lash extensions between trips to the salon.

 

2.      The Mane Choice Green Tea & Carrot Deep Strengthening & Restorative Mask Treatment($17.99, Target) this nutrient infused hair mask is the perfect antidote for dry, lifeless hair. The formula contains green tea extract which research has shown is a major stress reliever  and works to reduce shedding and increase hair growth by stimulating the hair follicle and increasing blood flow.

 

3.      Arbonne Intelligence Genius Nightly Resurfacing Pads & Solution ($98, Arbonne.com) this effective retinoid solution reduces the appearance of dark spots and skin discoloration which is often a result of a major breakout. As with all Arbonne products, it is vegan and gluten-free!

Spa Week Spring 2017 Event: Relaxation and Rejuvenation

Natural healing methods are on the rise as antidotes for an over-connected, demanding world.  The Global Wellness Institute (GWI) reports that US healthcare costs are forecast to rise an average of 5.8% every year through 2025.  In turn, more Americans are integrating alternative, preventative health approaches into their lifestyles.  Spa Week continues its dedication of delivering the best in health and wellness year round by working with spas nationwide to transform their traditional treatments into one-of-a-kind wellness experiences for our daily lives.  From April 17th – 23rd, hundreds of spas will give consumers the opportunity to explore wellness in an extraordinary and affordable way during Spa Week’s Spring 2017 Event.  “A profound shift in the way people consume wellness is underway: once a luxury or “add-on”, it is now being infused into every aspect of daily life,” shares Katherine Johnston, Senior Research Fellow, GWI.

From holistic salt therapy centers to detoxify the respiratory system, to standing in a -160 degree Cryotherapy Chamber to reduce cellulite and improve circulation, these signature services – normally valued at anywhere from $100 to $500 – will be available for just $50 each. Sit back and get ready to enjoy this roller coaster ride of healthy lifestyle choices and rejuvenate with our top recommendations for Spa Week’s Spring 2017 event.

Get Salty

Looking for a natural treatment that is designed to help you purify your skin, clear your lungs and overall help you de-stress? Take a trip to visit the Hygea Wellness Co & Salt Room in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania for a Salt Therapy treatment (Spa Week $50, normally $100). There, you will bask in a quiet Salt Therapy room made of seven tons of Dead Sea salt and breathe in its surrounding salty and misty vapors. As you meditate and unwind from the outside world, the ions will draw out the pollution, infections and toxins in your body. Not only will you reap the physical benefits of improved breathing and clearer skin, you will leave feeling completely relaxed and refreshed – like a breath of fresh air.

Freezer Friendly

Does the thought of a treatment where you freeze various parts of your body leave you with chills? Well, when you stop by the Carrollton Square Spa in Texas for a 50 Minute Cryotherapy Massage (Spa Week $50, normally $100), you’ll be joining the ranks of World Champion LeBron James and actress Demi Moore in using alternative methods to improve your health and minimize your pain. Carrollton’s targeted arctic treatment uses cryosticks during the massage to remove tension, promote rapid healing, and reduce the inflammation of muscles and joints. You can also visit the RonnaSkin Day Spa in Westminster, Colorado for a 60 Minute Results-Oriented MicroNeedling Treatment with Cryotherapy (Spa Week $50, normally $107). This facial concentrates on rejuvenating and revolutionizing your skin with small icy blasts that will increase collagen production and erase wrinkles.

Face-less Facials

A facial…for your butt? Initially, we asked the same question but when we look at celebrities like J-Lo, Beyonce and Kim Kardashian and their finely crafted assets, we can’t help but want to book an appointment at NYC’s Smooth Synergy for a Fanny Facial (Spa Week $50, normally $150). This sculpting treatment begins with an exfoliating scrub to smooth your backside, and then employs small zaps of microcurrents to your butt and upper-thighs to sculpt and lift your butt. A similar effect that you would get if you went to the gym to do squats. About an hour later, you’ll be left with a perky derriere and an overwhelming confidence to flaunt your newly contoured bottom down the street.

Escape from the Man Cave

Don’t worry guys, Spa Week isn’t just for the ladies. If you’re facing a hairy dilemma, we’ve created the perfect treatment for you.  The Bearded Boss Men’s Facial (Spa Week $50, normally $75) – at NYC’s very own KUR Skin Lab. There, your beard will be attended to with a series of soothing massages while the hair is thoroughly cleansed and the skin is exfoliated and moisturized. Your beard can also get the royal treatment that it needs in Indianapolis, Indiana with Pure Image’s Burly Beard Facial (Spa Week $50, normally $75). From its invigorating facial cleanse to a soothing massage, these alluring treatments are designed to build confidence and keep the beard soft and groomed – perfect for a night out on the town.

Entering the Gemisphere

What do celebrities like Katy Perry, Adele, and Robert Downey Jr. have in common? They are all harnessing the special healing properties from crystals to ward off negative energy and promote healing and relaxation. To experience this modern day treatment, head down to The Spa at CopperWynd in Scottsdale, Arizona for an Amethyst massage (Spa Week $50, normally $120). This immersive body massage utilizes the ability of the gemstone as an infused oil to block and reduce pain. You will leave feeling physically and spiritually renewed.

Joining Spa Week for the Spring 2017 event, sponsors include skincare sponsor, Peter Thomas Roth, beauty device sponsor Clarisonic and travel sponsor, Grand Fiesta Americana- Coral Beach, Cancun.  The event is co-sponsored by CEW (Cosmetic Executive Women)and a portion of the proceeds from the Spring and Fall Events are donated to CancerandCareers.org.

Get Summer Ready without The Latest Fad Diet

The internet is full of celebrity bodies and all we hear is the importance of getting summer ready. It’s enough pressure on women and many of us are trying to find the latest fad diet.

However, if you have tried all the celeb diets and find yourself studying the pages of www.RoxyPlasticSurgery.com we might have a last attempt at looking like Kim Kardashian.

Featured Photo from Instagram

First up let’s talk about your face. Most celebrities have had some work done and use the best natural products.  There are some great new products in the beauty industry which will improve the texture of your skin and make it tighter. Le Creme Beaute has a fantastic mask that is made entirely from organic, natural products, you will also find moisturizer that can help reduce wrinkles. The most important thing you can do to keep your face young and fresh is drink water, hydration and sleep can take years off you.

How about that tight waist and gorgeous bottom. It is no secret that diet and hydration are the keys to a smaller frame, however, to get yourself a body like Kim you need to do specific exercises. You may have seen the Squat challenge on the Internet. Starting at 50 a day you will hit 250 squats and it’s an insane waste of time. For a well-rounded bottom, you need a routine which focuses on using additional weights to your squat/lunge routine to get a booty lift.  There has been a lot of talk about whether Kim had some help.  She denies it, crediting her body to hard work and a lot of squats!

What is most special about Kim is that she has made the most of her body. She may have used enhancements but the rest was based around realistic goals of how she wanted to look and hard work.
