“Why it Matters”
Like the changing of the seasons, our skin also goes through seasonal changes. Skin is affected by external factors, such as heat, sun and humidity and internal factors such as hormone levels, stress and hydration. Summer weather can make skin more oily and acne prone and winter weather can make the most normal skin sensitive and dry. Managing your skin throughout the seasons, keeps your skin healthy and happy.

The first step to managing your skin is to understand your skin type, weather your skin is normal, dry, sensitive, oily, acne prone or combination.

Botox has a long history, as it was originally discovered in the 60’s by an ophthalmologist, Dr. Alan Scott to cure crossed eyes then approved in the late 80”s, since that time it has been used over the past 17 plus years to treat numerous medical conditions, some FDA approved and others still in the experimental stage.

Botox is commonly used to treat migraines, excessive sweating, and recently for overactive bladder, and most commonly for wrinkle reduction. Other not approved methods are for hair rejuvenation and breast lifts, these are experimental at this time but may be possibly FDA approved at some point in time. Presently there are over 90 patent applications for Botox use with the FDA.

Skin is the largest organ of our body and one that needs the proper care and attention. We apply sunscreen, moisturizers, serums and eye creams, however the signs of aging still seem to creep up on us. Fine lines, sunspots, enlarged pores and acne can be improved dramatically with the proper MicroPeel and exfoliation program. The easiest way to turn back the clock is with MicroPeels at Suite Six. There are multiple ways to exfoliate your skin, however our trained aestheticians at Suite Six use a customized approach for their clients.

Do you have lash envy and wonder how do those celebrity’s lashes look so fabulous. Chances are they have eyelash extensions they were not born with. Eyelash extensions are an easy low cost way to make your eyes look fabulous. If you desire fuller more voluminous lashes, Suite Six is where to go.

Lash extensions can naturally enhance your lashes with extra length, volume and thickness. Depending on your desired effect you can do a full set or half set of lashes. Lashes are applied one lash at a time with a medical grade adhesive. Lashes typically need to be touched up every 3-4 weeks. At Suite Six we use NovaLash, industry-awarded best lashes.

In the latest issue of New Beauty Magazine, Elise Minton the Beauty Editor mentioned a study from The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology. This study focused on how 10 women who underwent three consecutive facial rejuvenation procedures with facial fillers were perceived before and after each treatment. 150 third party assessors were asked to rate the attractiveness, health and age of these women. The assessors perceived the women to be more attractive and healthy with each facial procedure. Additional studies have shown that fillers can activate natural collagen in your skin, in essence waking up your skin cells to make more collagen and increasing the thickness of the skin.

Oh, we’re not. A sumptuous treatment from Themae is the perfect solution to tired, sluggish or dull skin, due to its hydrating and rejuvenating effects. Here at Suite Six, this holistic line “celebrates the tea benefits and brings them into the heart of each formula in the precious Complexe des 4 Thes”, which is present in each product from the nourishing Parisian line.

Some interesting facts to steep over :

The tea plant has over 30% of polyphenols and contains antioxidants 200 times more potent than vitamin E. Thus, tea actively contributes to slowing signs of aging by neutralizing the free radicals that break down collagen and elastin. The tea extracts are sourced from Rooibos, black, white and green teas. They promote anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and soothing benefits, among other qualities. The spring water that is used to formulate Themae’s products is very pure and sourced from a deep spring in the south-west of France.
