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 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.

Soaking Off Gel Nail Polish

Okay, so your into this gel polish thing; sounds great (especially with the fact, custom colours can be created with our Zoya nail lacquers; a Soulful Indulgence exclusive)  

...you can really use a manicure who's beautiful polish will last beyond it's 3-5 day typical expiry date; that is if you don't smudge it during the first 12 hours!! lol ;-)    

You love the instant drying time and that your colour lasts brilliantly for up to 2 weeks or even more if your easy on your hands.

...Now it's time for your next appointment. 

If you want to remove before your appointment to save on the removal cost: simply get a cotton ball, make into small sizes like your nails, soak in acetone, place on nail plate having already put a protective barrier cream on exposed skin ensuring to not have oil on nail plate.  Wrap soaked cotton over top of gel polish; in a piece of tin foil: wait 10min and remove one at a time.  The polish structure will be changed, enabling you to remove lacquer remnants with your cuticle pusher or orange wood stick.  Alternatively you can use a fine file to buff off the GEL ONLY! (filling off is the preferred method of removal, as when your careful enough to only remove the gel polish, the natural nails is left free of any damage and no harsh chemicals have to be used!)   Please note that Lac It gel polish is free from commonly found harsh chemicals such as: formaldehyde, methylene chloride & toluene. Resin is non-porus & dental grade; ensuring no yellowing of the nail, keeping your colour true and shinny!

WHAT IS A BODY WRAP?


Imagine the nutrients you can infuse into the skin with clean, therapeutic grade ingredients specially formulated to enhance natures healing benefits.   

TO BEGIN...it's important to exfoliate the skin; either ezymatically (with fruit enzymes such a papaya) or manually with exfoliants such as organic sea salt or ground apricot seed powder.  This process will prevent and remove the dead skin cells from building up on the epidermis (the outer layer of the skin) Doing this will revitalize, soften and stimulate circulation, increasing natural collagen production leaving you with a firmer more beautiful skin. It will stimulate circulation and promote detoxification. 

Have the right scrub recommended for at home use and depending on your skin type use it 1-4 times a week. 

HOW TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE DRY SKIN? -dry skin can look white, be flakey and feel itchy. Often feeling like it's being stretched.   By gently cleansing the skin and removing these sticky, sluggish cells, your skin has the chance to absorb such bio-available ingredients as Canadian glacial clay and 98% active seaweed concentrate which will revitalize you and your skin from the inside out!   Who needs a vitamin?  

WHEN YOUR WRAPED UP...in so much healing mother earth energy; it's hard not to drift off into a peaceful,tranquil place. Especially if your getting a scalp neck and shoulder massage while the products go to work, penetrating through the outer layer of tissue and work on a cellular level (that is if you use natural products and pure essential oils; as their molecular structure is fine enough)  Try a Soulful Indulgence Seaweed Firming Detox or Calming Skin Renewal to name a couple and feel the difference after just one treatment. Great for body, mind and soul relaxation.
