Intensive Brightening Treatment

Intensive Brightening Treatment

Vogue lists Intensive Brightening Treatment as a “Bright Idea” and Esthetics by Roxanne agrees. This is a newer formula of retinol solutions that is highly effective in treating PIH (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation). You know, those annoying dark spots on your face that seem to have come out of nowhere. Typically dark spots are a result of sun exposure over longer periods of time and can be difficult to fade. At Esthetics by Roxanne we like Intensive Brightening Treatment for its unique 10-hour time released delivery system called OmniSome which enables the retinol to slowly penetrate the dermal layer and get…

New Hydrating Product We Love!

Epidermal dehydration is something just about every client has an issue with whether their treatment is acne or anti-aging based, so it makes sense that at Esthetics by Roxanne our biggest selling product continues to be Hydrating Serum.  This go-to hydrator works well to replenish moisture lost from the application of products that lower the pH level. Understanding pH and how it affects the skin is worth mentioning.  pH stands for power of hydrogen, which is a measurement of the hydrogen ion concentration in the body.  4.0 – 7.0 is considered a balanced pH.  This is an acidic level and anything over 7.0 is alkaline.  Bacteria thrives in…

30+ Beauty Crash Course for Skin

28 is a big year when it comes to skin.  It is at this age that we stop producing our own natural collagen, a significant protein that reduces wrinkles.  By about age 30 it is not uncommon for the mirror to stare back with ever-so-slight changes. This is often when people schedule their first “anti-aging” consultation. The good news is that science has come a long way since our mother’s days of Oil of Olay.  The advances in skin care have given us many topical applications:  Stem cell growth factors which cause a proliferation of new healthy cells, retinols which stimulate the production of collagen and cause an…

No Makeup Required!

Here are the basic steps Roxanne recommends for getting the skin you feel proud to wear without a cover-up. Start with a clean palette.  Stick to a gentle cleanser that removes all impurities such as Babor’s Gentle Cleansing Cream or PCA Skin’s Facial Wash.  Then swipe away any remaining residual makeup with a splash of toner.  Babor’s Smoothing Rose Toner is our most popular. Exfoliate away dead-skin dullness with a weekly at-home peel containing glycolic to reveal an immediate glow.  Our go-to product is Refine Cellular AHA 10+10 Peeling Gel by Babor. Hydrate.  Supercharge your skin with a boost of…

Beauty Is Not An Age!

You say, “She looks fabulous!” She’s 50, 60 or even 70, but she looks a decade younger.  Science is the catalyst.  Breakthroughs over the last two decades, from stem cell growth factors that promote a proliferation of new skin cells to retinol solutions (R-OH) which accelerate cell renewal and promote collagen synthesis, slow down the aging process and make a youthful appearance possible at every age. At Esthetics by Roxanne we believe beautiful skin is more than just a notion of hope.  Beauty, after all, is not an age.  It is an attitude, and balancing professional skincare treatments with a…
