Why do you need Facial massage?


Facial massage is a unique combination of therapeutic touches including facial pressure points, and rhythmic contouring and sculpting strokes. Helping to relax, uplifting and tone skin and muscles, facial massage is known to relive and stress, and opens and revitalizes facial muscles through various sinus pressure points.

A facial cleans exfoliated, and nourishes the skin to promote clear, well-hydrated skin.

Especially right now when sun is our skin is dehydrated.

Facial massage starts with the cleansing of the face. The skin of the face is exposed to warm, steam, which then opens the pores of the skin. Using the gentle cleanser and other tools, the Esthetician cleans away the dirt and makeup of the face.

Facial massage is good, because of many reasons:

- Relaxes client,

- Stimulates blood circulation,

- Activates sluggish skin,

- Improves metabolism of the cells

- Helps muscle tone,

- Helps relive muscle tension + pain, sinuses

- Provide sense of well-being,

Also good massage that is done regularly helps stimulate the release of fee-good hormones known as endorphins.

Contraindications of massage:

- Acne skin

- Sunburn skin

- High blood pressure,

- Cancer,

- Psoriasis, eczema,

- Contagious disease,

Any regular Facial treatments supposed to perform with the face massage, on less there is contraindications. I hope you understand why is important to have a facial massage, even if your skin is perfect.

Vitamin C natural Anti-aging solution for the skin


Many people incorporate vitamin C like Anti-aging supplements into their daily regime .A preparation can be used to clarify and even out the skin tone, as it lightens dark spots. That vitamin C is proven to increase collagen synthetics, it aids in the healing of minor cuts and wounds. Getting the right levels of vitamin C may sound easy- but it’s a WATER SOLUBLE vitamin which means it can’t be stored and needs to be topped up every day.

For smokers your intake of vitamin C is likely to be severely depleted and you will definitely need to add more vitamin C, as a supplement or even better for your skin and health- give up smoking.

The purpose behind any real skin care is to give you that younger, freshener look every day. It’s goal to rejuvenate the skin in such a way that its earlier glow and health are maintained.

Vitamin C helps in different ways:

- it moisturizers

- it encourages growth of collagen

- it softens

- it exfoliates and cleanses

- it helps remove wrinkles


Research has shown that vitamin C is really the only thing that stimulates the growth of collagen. As we age, our skin loses essential collagen causing it to sag, stretch, and wrinkle. For the natural way of using vitamin C are lemons, oranges, grapefruit, and papaya.

I mentioned earlier about how you can do your own toner, which is: distilled water, and lemon combined together help lighten and smooth out skin tone.

Any research suggest that vitamin C may also reduce sunburn caused by exposure to ultraviolet B radiation and prevent the consequences of long-term sun exposure which can lead to skin cancer( sources: University of Maryland Medical Center, Bouchez)

For me Vitamin C is the key for the skin, you tried then you will know how it’s works.

If you have any question about what kind Vitamin C serum is right, from what company you can ask me any time, what kind are you using, if its works for you? Be free to ask.

Basic regime for Men


It’s a simple fact, MEN usually don’t care about the skin, but if you follow my steps you can make a real difference in your life. So MEN are never too late to start take of your skin.

KEEP IT CLEAN: # 1

Men have approximately about 16% oilier skin and significantly larger pores that women do. Basically, this means you get dirtier. It is very important, no matter what skin type you have, to clean your face twice a day. For cleanser I recommend FOAMY CLEANSER, because it’s perfect for combination and oily skin types. If your skin is prone to acne, you have to use products with salicylic acid. The right SCRUB means EXFOLIANT is essential for healthy clean skin. It will remove dead cells and smooth the surface of your face. Try to get scrub with less ground bits of nut, or seed extract, better is ENZYME EXFOLIANT. They will tear and damage the skin.

SHAVING: # 2

Too many guys rush through it, or give a poor effort. Shaving is something that should be done carefully in its entirety. Many guys should use a shaving cream and razor that will give them a very close shave, but also protect their skin at the same time. I find very useful brand ( from my husband experience) like NIVEA to be one of the best companies when it comes to shaving as it relates to men’s skin care on the market. Their products contain VITAMIN E, and ALOE to help protect and smooth skin, as well as hydrate and moisturize. GILETTE is also best brand for razors, work really well, or if you prefer electric, because WOMEN TYPICALLY ARE NOT ATTRACTED TO WEREVOLVES.

TONER: # 3

Men are outside more than women are; environmental debris and pollutants are more a factor to their skin’s health. Toning helps keep the skin clear and firm.

Passion about Make up- Chicago area



My passion for make up was from the beginning, when I was a child I like lipstick, mascara and everything what’s my mom had in the purse. I could play for hours in my mom cosmetics. So let me say that I believe there are no rules when it comes to make up, besides, the obvious: “Don’t curl, your eyelashes in a speeding vehicles”, or “Don’t put lipstick in your eye”. I think women need a lot of variety in their lives. And makeup, whether it’s coral lipstick or false eyelashes or simple brown eye shadow, is a way of achieving that. It lightens the mood, its fun and I’m very glad we have it. I always feel better with makeup on, and I hate getting caught without it. There are so many things in the world that you have to face that aren’t pleasant, that being able to learn something and have a little fun and feel better about yourself, all in the time it takes to get from one page to the next, is a special and wonderful combination

Brown Spots- Discoloration on the skin- Chicago IL

What is it?

This is called hyper pigmentation is an overproduction of melanin in a certain area, as a response to UV exposure. Hypo pigmentation is another sign of sun damage that results in white spots like confetti sprinkled on the skin. This happens when the sun basically fries the melanocytes in that area and they can no longer produce pigment at all- leaving those spots especially vulnerable to sun damage.

How can you prevent them?

Always remember wear sunscreen every single day and stay out of the sun whenever possible, also the worse hours for sun is between: 12am-4:00pm.

How can you treat those Spots?

Topical lightening agents such as KOJIC acid and HYDROQUINONE will fade brown spots over time, but that can require a long wait. Spot treatments with over-the-counter-strength kojic acid and 2% hydroquinone can take at least six months to work, since they are so mild. Some people with moderate hyper pigmentation should see a dermatologist.

For the light spot on the skin there is certain ingredients used over and over again in the herbal body care formulas for this problem. The ingredients include vitamin E, aloe Vera gel, fruit acids such as lemon juice and organic apply cider vinegar, enzymes such as papaya and pineapple, witch hazel, and horseradish mixed with lemon juice, or milk.

Natural recipe for brown spots:

- ¾ parts of water

- ¼ lemon juice

Cleanse your skin with the cleanser, and after that wash your face with water and used that recipe 2 times a day, you will see result after week. After that, put a moisturizer or sunscreen on day and you ready to go.

Most popular question about sunscreen?


What is sunscreen?

Sunscreen is a topical (to apply on the skin) product that protect the skin against harmful effects of the sun.

How can the Sun be dangerous?

The sun, besides visible sunlight, also is non-visible ultraviolet (UV) rays.
UV-B rays may cause sunburn and skin cancer (through a damage of DNA in the skin cells). New studies suggest that UV-A may also cause skin cancer.
UV-A exposure may result in photo-aging: skin wrinkling, age spots (hyperpigmentation), freckling, visible capillaries, and lost of the skin elasticity.

How does Sunscreen work?

The following substances are FDA (American Drug Administration) approved as active ingredients:
- UVB filters (absorbers): octinoxate, trolamine salicylicate,
- UVA filters ( absorbers): avobenzone
- UVA+UVB absorbers: oxybenzone, dyoxybenzone,
- UVA+UVB reflectors: titanium dioxide and zinc oxide
Antioxidants is sunscreen neutralize free radicals triggered by UV rays. Vitamin C (improves skin healing) and E (somewhat protects against DNA damage) are also often added.
Forms of Sunscreen
Lotion and spray are not messy, so they are convenient for the scalp with scars hair or hairy skin.
Creams and gels do not flow, so they are convenient for the face.
Sticks are thick, and thus convenient for the eyelids or lips (lip-screen)
Powders are convenient for oily skin.
A sunscreen with moisturizer is convenient for dry skin.

Sunscreens for Oily, Dry or Sensitive Skin

For oily skin, oil-free (water-based or powder) sunscreen are convenient.
For dry skin, sunscreen with a moisturizer, or oily sunscreen may be appropriate; alcohol-based ones should be avoided.

For sensitive skin, alcohol-free, fragrances-free (non-scented) and purely physical sunscreen (containing only zinc oxide or titanium oxide as an active ingredients) are appropriate. Any of this sunscreen may still irritate your skin, so you have to find appropriate one yourself.

Some Misleading Terms

No “ sun block” sunscreen can completely block UV rays, no “all day” sunscreen protects skin for 24 hours, no “waterproof” sunscreen is completely waterproof after several hours applying, rare “natural” or “organic” sunscreen contain only natural or organic components, and no sunscreen is completely “SAFE”

Who should use a sunscreen?

Anyone after 6 months of age, exposed to intense sun, even if only for 10 minutes, should use a sunscreen. Children, outdoor workers, drivers and all who are repeatedly exposed to the “normal sun for long periods, should also use sunscreens.

Who should not use a sunscreen?

- In infants before 6 months of age,
- By person with an allergic reaction to particular sunscreen,
- In intense sunburn with blister,
- In oozing skin infections,
- On skin areas near open wounds

How to apply a sunscreen?

Sunscreen should be applied 30 minutes before sun exposure, and then every two hours, or immediately after swimming or heavy sweating. It should be applied generously and evenly, and rubbed well into the skin. All parts of the sun-exposed skin should be covered, including ears, the skin behind ears and the scalp with scarce hair.
Applying sunscreen on the eyelids and around the eye is not recommended since it may irritate the skin. Use big sunglasses with 100% UV filters instead.

So, which sunscreen to use?

- SPF at least 15,
- Broad-spectrum (UVA+UVB protection),
- Not irritating your skin (check ingredients, use intuition)
- Feels comfortable (use appropriate form of sunscreen, read above)

I hope I help you answered some of the important questions about sunscreen and you will easy find the right product for your type of skin.
So tell my what kind of sunscreen are you using?

Easy make up application-eye shadow- Chicago area



As a makeup artist, I have learned many tricks to keep your fresh face and beautiful all day or especially at special events like a wedding or social occasion.
Here of few of my favorite tips I can share with you.

Eye shadow colors for each eye color:

- BLUE EYES: deep blue, taupe, and purple, black, silver
- HAZEL OR GREEN EYES: plum, brown, purple, bright purple, khaki, and forest green,
- BROWN EYES: bronze, khaki-green, copper, soft pink, brown, beige, tangerine, and royal blue,

These are only my suggestions so don’t feel limited to these eye shadow colors.
Step 1
Now that you have picked out your eye shadow colors it is time for application. First start with the lightest color in your eye shadow pallet. Apply your color from your eyes lashes to your eyebrows.
Step 2
Next take the second lightest color and apply to just your eye lid.
Step 3
If your pallet has only three colors you will use your darkest color next. This should be applied in the crease of your eyelid from the outside edge of the eye to the middle of the eye.
Step 4
Blend all three colors together with a brush or finger to make the eye shadow look smooth. If there are four colors in your pallet use the darkest color at the outer edge of the eye. Apply from just above the crease to the center or just below the crease in a sideways V shape. Be sure that the eye shadow does not extend beyond the eyebrow. Blend in with a finger or brush.

Next step is Concealer, you can mask those unwanted blemishes, freckles, or dark spot.
Of course before you put any concealer, make sure you clean your face first. Use a gently face cleanser to remove any dirt or impurities. Your concealer should be one shade lighter than your foundation.

After concealer is Foundation. Choose a foundation color that will blend in with your natural skin tone. Remember, when purchasing foundation, that your skin color will change with the seasons. In the summer you need a little darker color, most likely tan. In the winter, your skin will lighten to its natural color and you will need lighter shade of foundation.

Next step is Powder.

Be sure to have a good powder brush to apply your translucent powder. If your brush in a downward motion, you will get more of a smooth finished look. Number one is Bare Minerals Powder, lightweight and sheer for a natural look, natural ingredients, SPF 15, that’s all you need to, hear about that Powder.


With this knowledge available to you, you can achieve your own unique stunning look, and do your own makeover!
Learning to apply cosmetics properly is an art, but you can do it and look absolutely beautiful and have the peace of mind of knowing that you do.

PERFECT FACIAL Enjoyable, relaxing with any concerned or goals for treatment.


As an Esthetician I explained my client,step by step about what kind a treatment she should have for the best of her concerned. Then I listen for the client consideration and any question. Then I began the treatment with the relaxation music. When I cleansed the face, my client smell a fragrant blend of essential oil, lemongrass, then I analyzed again with my magnifying lamp and wood lamp to see it better.
Also I explained the client what’s her skin looks like under the naked eye and how she might be changed some things or home-care products would help. Next I put exfoliation product using soft brush with that. Exfoliation has to be with the steamer, to loosen the blackheads and help brighten your skin. By the time exfoliation is on the face with the steamer I massage the neck and décolleté my client with some raspberry chocolate oil. That exfoliant may tingle a little, but only for few second and will be ok. Then I started with extractions, that part is most uncomfortable moment, but only for 5 to 15 minutes, depends on any needs. So I tried gently pressed and rolled client skin. After that I performed Face massage, using raspberry chocolate oil. Then I choose the right mask for the clients concerned. When the mask is spread in smooth, even stroked around the face I massage the clients Hands. Then final products of toner,serums, moisturizer,eye cream and sunscreen were applied. Client skin felt clean, revitalized and refreshed. Also every client I take care special with all my knowledge and my product application. So there is your decision to tried and chose that treatment.

VITAMIN D The sunshine vitamin is key for skin health


To prevent skin cancer, we protect ourselves with sunscreen, especially during the summer months. By using sunscreen, however, we are blocking the absorption of vitamin D-the “sunshine” vitamin.
Vitamin D is fat soluble and contains powerful antioxidant properties. These antioxidant properties mean vitamin D plays a role in preventing premature aging and cellular damage. Getting between 5-10 minutes of direct sun exposure daily on the arms, face, hands, and back (without sunscreen can provide enough vitamin D to meet your daily requirements. Unfortunately, this is not the ideal solution.
Dark-skinned people will need more sun exposure than light-skinned people to produce sufficient vitamin D.
Vitamin D has been overlooked for its ability to help resolve skin conditions like psoriasis, as it plays a role in skin cell regulation, including cell turnover and growth.
