TGIF Spa Offering for Waxing Services

If you can tolerate a little discomfort, the benefits of waxing may be well worth the effort.

Razor Burn from Shaving

This method of hair removal also has a tendency of leaving your legs looking much better than does a razor. Just avoiding the daily risk of nicks, cuts, and razor burn that accompany shaving may be reason enough to stick to waxing.  However what worse and what most of us are unaware of is the bacterial build up that your razor can carry. 

Razors may have Millions of Bacteria

Nearly five million bacteria have been found on a single disposable wet razor handle in new laboratory research by Microban 

Gross! Do you really want to expose your beautiful skin to that on a regular?

Wax products are usually made from natural ingredients. This is one benefit of waxing over using topical hair removal creams, called depilatories, which contain chemicals that could irritate and aggravate skin.

One of the major benefits of waxing regularly is the amount of time it ultimately saves. Waxing usually last about three to four weeks. Meaning... you can take shaving out of your morning routine and put that time to some other use. Not having to deal with hair removal on a daily basis is a relief for many.

Besides sanitation and the time it saves, waxing also reduces the embarrassment factor caused by stubble. Not only do results last three to four weeks for most, but some suggest that regular waxing can cause your hair to grow back finer and sparser over time.

See what waxing can do for you and book your service today!

Another Happy Client at Le Reve Organic Spa & Boutique!...

Melinda D. had a great Age Defying facial with Izabella at Le Reve!

          "I had the Age Defying Facial with Isabella and loved it!  It was super relaxing and Isabella did a great job explaining the products she was using.  She was extremely attentive to my needs and my skin was so soft and hydrated afterwards. I also appreciated that although she suggested a few products to purchase, she was not at all pushy.  A great find, and although it was a bit pricey, I found that in this case you get what you pay for (in a good way).  I'll definitely be back!"

Wondering about an ingredient? Visit cosmeticsdatabase.com

AMY GOODMAN: We’re  joined from Washington, DC, by Jane Houlihan, the vice president for research at the Environmental Working Group and the creator of Skin Deep, which is an online cosmetics safety database. The database provides safety ratings for more than 62,000 products on the market and receives, oh, more than a million hits per month. 

Jane Houlihan, we want to thank you very much for joining us. Explain what this database is. How can people use it? And what is it based on? 

JANE HOULIHAN: It’s at cosmeticsdatabase.com, online. We launched it in 2004. It contains safety reports for 60,000 products on the market. It’s backed up by government studies and testing that give you in-depth information about what exactly is in your products. When you get online and use it, you’ll find more than 500 products that contain ingredients that are banned in other countries. You’ll find a hundred products that contain ingredients that the industry itself has said are unsafe in cosmetics. And you’ll find that 99 percent of the products you find in our database contain at least one ingredient, and many times dozens of ingredients, that haven’t been assessed for safety by the FDA, by the cosmetics industry itself, or any other publicly accountable institution. Like your previous guest, Stacy Malkan, you can log on, look up your products, and see how many cancer-causing chemicals are in your products, how many compounds linked to hormone disruption and other basic health problems. This is an industry that’s self-regulated, largely, and what we find across the industry, with our Skin Deep database, is that companies are making very different choices about what’s safe enough to use in these products. 

ANJALI KAMAT: Jane Houlihan, who are the worst offenders? What would you say are the most dangerous products that are very commonly used? 

JANE HOULIHAN: Dark permanent hair dyes are linked to cancer. When you use those for a long time over your lifetime, those can be quite toxic. Nail care products tend to contain some of the most hazardous ingredients. But we also find carcinogens in baby products. We find skin lighteners that contain chemicals linked to cancer. So, a really broad range of issues. One very problematic area is sunscreens, which are poorly regulated in the US. We found that we could recommend only eight percent of sunscreens on the market that could really give you broad spectrum protection you need to prevent—help prevent skin cancer and also that don’t contain hazardous ingredients that can seep through the skin and pose other kinds of health concerns. 

AMY GOODMAN: When you’re looking, for example, at sunscreen, what should you avoid? What are the eight percent that you recommend? 

JANE HOULIHAN: You should look for zinc and titanium. Those give you good broad spectrum protection. You should avoid a very common sunscreen chemical called oxybenzone. That’s a potent hormone disruptor, potential hormone disruptor for people. It’s in about 60 percent of all products. And this year we’re also recommending that you avoid vitamin A in sunscreen. We think of vitamins as very good for us, but on the skin, a new FDA study shows that vitamin A could actually increase the risk for skin cancer when it’s applied on the skin. 

AMY GOODMAN: What is the hope? What are people to do—men and women, girls and boys, infants? 

JANE HOULIHAN: Right now, it’s very much a "buyer beware" market. Our work since 2004 shows that so many products contain ingredients that flat-out haven’t been assessed for safety in a public way, so companies are making their own decisions. What we really need is change at the top level, where we’re seeing in federal law a safety standard for cosmetics, so these companies have a level playing field, and so when you go to the store, you know that what you’re pulling from the shelf is safe enough to use. Right now what we have is a system that requires each one of us to get educated on what’s in our products. You can use Skin Deep to get easy-to-use, free safety reports for the products you use every day and search for safer products that way. What we need, in the end, is a system that, at the very highest level, ensures that we have safe products on all of our store shelves for everyone in our families. 

AMY GOODMAN: The website is cosmeticsdatabase.com? 

JANE HOULIHAN: Cosmeticsdatabase.com is the website. You’ll find 60,000 products, about 8,000 ingredients, and free online safety reports there that are easy to use and great for finding safer products and helping you bring safer products into the home for your family. 

AMY GOODMAN: Jane Houlihan, I want to thank you very much for joining us, vice president for research at the Environmental Working Group and creator of the Skin Deep database.

I always welcome questions and I 'm always happy to research ingredients on your behalf.  Give me a call. See you at the Spa, Shannon

What you should know about essential oils
Sandalwood, jasmine, rose, patchouli, lavender, neroli, even the names sound fragrant...

Essential Oils enhance health, beauty and well being. They energise and detoxify. They represent an ideal alternative for looking after your body, your mind and your spirit. They are one of nature's most effective tools for stimulating and storing positive energy, providing us with great support in our quest for a balanced, healthy and harmonious life.

"Blood of plants", "Spirit of leaves", "Soul of flowers", since the beginning of time, man has used the beneficial essences of plants and flowers for medicinal as well as spiritual purposes. In alchemy, the essence of a flower is its Soul, its Life Force.

Today, Essential Oils have conquered the market. Countless shops around the world display rows of tiny bottles, filled with precious essences, serving hundreds of different purposes, whether for the hair, the skin, the body, or for stress relaxation and mood uplifting.

Origins
The recorded use of essential oils extends as far back as 5000 years. They are mentioned in ancient Ayurvedic texts with reference to their powerful properties in healing the body and the mind. The ancient Egyptians extracted them by infusion and used them for cosmetics, healing, food preservation and embalming, as well as for religious ceremonies and incense making. Every god and goddess in ancient Egypt was allotted an essence. Cleopatra is said to have bathed in rose petals.

The ancient Chinese also used essential oils for religious purposes and for healing, massage, and incense making. Incense burning was, and still is, an important part of the religious ceremonies in China.

In India, some temples were built out of sandalwood in an effort to join the gods and the worshipers in fragrant unity.

The ancient Greeks, who owe much of their knowledge to the Egyptians, also linked essences to the spirit. The Greeks considered scents a direct gift from the gods. They believed that the afterworld, or paradise they called Elysium, was a place where perfumed rivers flow.


How do they work?
The secret of essential oils' effectiveness lies in the speed at which they are absorbed through our skin. They can reach the blood stream in 20 minutes to half an hour maximum.

The essential oils fragrances are believed to activate nerve cells in the nasal cavity sending impulses to the limbic system, which is the area of the brain associated with emotions and memory.

Most essential oils are antiseptic and some are antibacterial. It's been proven that a few drops of essential oil before your daily skin routine actually doubles and sometimes triples its beneficial effects.

Which oil is right for me?
You'll find a list of the most common essential oils and their respective benefits here.
Essential Oils are normally diluted in carrier vegetable oils that support and diffuse them, making their perfume and effect less concentrated.

Are they safe? What about side effects?
The body generally tolerates essential oils well. It's important not to use pure oils directly onto the skin or in the bath water as they can irritate the skin. They are best diluted in your shower gel, bath product or vegetable oils like sweet almond oil, Jojoba oil or avocado oil, or in a cream or moisturiser base. You can even buy a neutral base cream especially to dilute your essential oils.

Some oils are more powerful than others and can cause temporary skin reactions amongst those are thyme, oregano, cinnamon and lemon grass oils. Others make your skin more sensitive to the sun and should not be used for twelve hours before sun exposure. These are bergamot essences as well as lemon, grapefruit and mandarin essences.

Do they affect people in the same way?
Each essential oil has a well-know biological effect but since it also affects the central nervous system, each person reacts according to his or her condition. The same essential oil can have a relaxing or tonifying effect depending on the body's requirement. A good example is lavender oil. In eighty percent of cases, it is soothing, but has a contrary, tonifying effect on some people. Generally the oil that attracts you most is the one that works best for you.
