Just a few fun skin health tips today! Things you may know and a few I betcha’ dont. (Even I didn’t!)

Secrets of a Top Skin Doctor

You wouldn’t take advice from a pudgy personal trainer, a chain-smoking doctor… and certainly not a wrinkly dermatologist. Women’s Health contributor, Francesca Fusco practices what she preaches. Here, she gives you your ticket to a beautiful complexion and gorgeous, glowing skin.
 
Use SPF powder
Every day, dust a broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen powder over your regular SPF day lotion and makeup to deflect light, making your skin look flawless, and adding an even stronger protective layer; it’s also handy for controlling midday shine in oily skin types. (HAD NO IDEA!)
 
Switch up your retinol
If you use only one anti-aging product, make it topical vitamin A, which unclogs pores, prevents the buildup of dead skin cells, diminishes lines, lightens dark spots, and makes skin glow. Apply a pea-size amount of the cream to your face every night.  (OOPS, DON'T EVEN USE IT!)
 
Go easy on injectables
Muscle freezers, like Botox, improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, but it’s important not to go overboard. Baby Botox is a smaller amount which is administered more frequently and you won’t end up looking frozen or balloon-faced. (ANOTHER NEWS FLASH)

Stop yo-yo dieting!
Rapid gains and losses of 10 or more pounds stretch the skin, making it slower to bounce back, so preserve your face by maintaining a healthy weight.  (DOES 3 TO 5 POUNDS COUNT?)

Use a modern exfoliating brush
The Clarisonic Mia Sonic Skin Cleansing System has instant smoothing and a deep-cleansing ability, which is great for everyone—even acne prone individuals. Its sonic-wave technology decongests pores and allows your cleanser and topic products to dig even deeper. (ME LOVES MY CLARISONIC! TRY THE OPAL FOR EYES!!)
 
Perk up your eyes with caffeine
Dark-circle products that contain vitamin K or caffeine (both of which simulate blood flow to prevent pooling around the eyes) are effective if you use them every day. You can also pop the product in the fridge—cold temperatures constrict blood vessels and make puffiness go down.  (HOW ABOUT JUST DRINKING 6 CUPS OF COFFEE A DAY? I ALREADY DO THAT!)

Has your regular trip to the nail salon lost that lovin’ spa feeling?  Ready to treat your tootsies to the pampering that they deserve?  Well slide those neglected stems into your favorite spring sandals and get ready, because the Nail Garden has arrived in the Westside.

The already infamous Nail Garden, with branches in Studio City, Sherman Oaks and Burbank, has just opened its newest nail salon, conveniently located in the Brentwood Gardens. It’s the perfect spot for a spa trip before meeting the girls for a quick bite or shopping for the right top at Ron Herman to match your fabulous new nail color.

The Nail Garden’s modern decor and chill lounge music gives the nail salon a relaxingly fresh vibe. Combined with complementary coffee and drinks, I was feeling pampered even before I picked out my nail color.  And best of all, to my surprise, the nail polish station was completely filled with every OPI color imaginable. I easily found my favorite sultry red, named “Vodka and Caviar.”  Yum!

The Nail Garden has lots of different reasonably priced spa packages available, or clients can pick and choose treatments to design their own spa experience. I treated my neglected digits to the Indulgence Bliss Spa Combo.

But before my spa experience even began, my nail technician brought out a brand new sterile package of nail utensils that she opened up in front of me. And I was informed that each massage chair has a Backflow Prevention System that keeps the basin clean and fresh. Love it!

My intoxicating spa treatment included a marine cooling mask, a sea salt scrub and a warm lotion massage. As my hands and feet were delightfully softening in the paraffin wax, I relaxed into the hands of my technician who gave me a neck and shoulder massage – all included in the package.  By the time my nails were being painted, I felt my body was completely relaxed and refreshed from head to toe.

I was so happy with my nail service that I popped into one of the well-designed treatment rooms for a quick arm wax. Fab! Other treatments include a full waxing service menu, eyelash and brow tinting, lash extensions, teeth whitening and a wonderful kids’ mai/pedi menu, for children 10 and under.

The Nail Garden is the perfect location for hosting a Garden Spa Party with friends or a Princess Party for the kidos. Or meet up with the girls for the Nail Garden’s weekly Happy Hour. That’s right!  Just book a manicure-pedicure combo on Monday to Wednesday between 5:00 to 8:00pm get a glass of wine on the house. Love it!

And for our fabulous readers….. Receive 15% off any service at any one of the 4 Nail Garden locations when you mention Groomed-LA.
