WHY U NEED TO EXFOLIATE?

No matter what your skin care regime is; the number one thing to do for healthier more vibrant skin is...  Exfoliate!   It's the only way you can say farewell to dry, dead skin cells and grime on the face and body.  


Careful exfoliation with the right product is just what you need to give your skin a helping scrub to revive, oxygenate, smooth and detoxify.


When getting a massage; add a body scrub.  When getting a pedicure or manicure, opt for one that includes an exfoliating scrub such as Soulful Indulgence's Classic Manicure and Pedicure. 

It's important to know what kind of scrub is best suited for you and not limit it solely to your face.  The body is just as important.

Keep your skin, which is your largest organ; vibrant and healthy... it's the only one you've got! 


Ensure that post scrub the skin is re-hyrated with a nourishing, natural based moisturizer that will replenish the lipid barrier on the skin to protect.

WAXING 101


For the best wax experience and results see the following key points and stay on a regularly booked cycle to catch the hair on just the right stage of development, enabling you to experience an easier wax and encourage less hair growth.   Also know the product being used on you for hair removal; use a brand you know and trust.  Soulful Indulgence's pick is White Ivory Queen by Epillyss; a luxurious creme wax that is gentle on all skin types made of pine resin. 


 Watch the sun rays on your freshly waxed skin; seek the shade for the first day to avoid any hyper-pigmentation problems from arising in the future. 


PRECAUTIONS & CONSIDERATIONS:


  • Hair should be at least 1/4 inch or 6mm long.
  • Don’t apply creams, lotions or gels to the area being waxed the day of your appointment.
  • Don’t sunbathe 24 hours before or after your treatment. Tanning before treatment can cause the skin to lift.
  • If you have a low pain tolerance, take an aspirin or ibuprofen 30 min before your appointment to reduce discomfort.
  • Dress comfy.  You don’t want super tight clothing irritating your freshly waxed area.
  • No swimming pool, hot tubs or sauna for 24 hours after waxing.
  • Keep hair follicles clean by showering immediately after exercise.
  • Moisturize the area daily with a natural body lotion.
  • Gently exfoliate every 3 days.
  • Sunburned, irritated or areas with open skin cannot be waxed.
  • Moles cannot be waxed.
  • You must wait a minimum of seven (7) days before waxing after a light chemical peel or Microdermabrasion.
  • Waxing cannot be performed if you have been in a tanning booth the same day.
  • Waxing cannot be performed if you have had laser skin resurfacing within the past year.
  • Waxing cannot be performed if you have had a physician administered peel within the past two (2) years.

WARNING:
 Waxing is never done on clients taking Ac
cutane and is not recommended for clients taking Retin A, Renova, Differin or other types of skin thinning acne medications.  Know what your slathering on your skin and whats in your medication. sometimes waxing can be done if proper patch testing is completed.  Here is a list of products that do not mix well with waxing - use caution and consult with your therapist.
  • Accutane (Acne medication) - 
    You must be off this medication treatment course a minimum of one (1) year prior to waxing.
  • Adapalene (Acne medication)
  • Alustra (Retin A)
  • Avage (See Tazorac - Acne medication)
  • Avita (See Retin A)

Waxing unwanted body hair is excellent for those who don't like to fuss of daily shaving and nasty prickly re-growth!   Waxing provides a smooth, hairless look and feel to your skin that lasts.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG

As the snow slows, temperature rises and plants come to life; it dawns on me that summer is on the horizon!  I personally feel no rush to get there because i've come to realize just how fast life zooms by.  If I were to wish it here already then I would be missing out on taking in and enjoying the process of getting there ❤  

Spring time is great!  A spectacular season 
living here in Beautiful British Columbia Canada; there is just so much to take in!  

Grounding walks through the forests, a hike up the mountain. Swimming in lakes & rivers (if your brave enough to let your body get used to the temperature)- I've seen many peeps jumping in the glacial rivers; company included, mind you in the middle of summers: then just laying on a towel in the sun. "how 'bout with suncreen? ...
do you wear it? ... I enjoy the full sun in moderation however hang out in the shade & keep a sun block on when outside for more than 30min direct sunlight to avoid over exposure to UV'S 

A day on the open water is always nice. 



Every Kayak, canoe of row?
Of course power boating is a blast too! 
 

What are you getting up to now that the days are getting longer and the skies getting warmer? 

Keep fit, keep moving, stay healthy and have fun! 

Happy Spring!
