Ambassador
of the Month
Aimee Meisgeier
Congratulations to September's Ambassador of the Month, Aimee
Meisgeier. Since 2003 HM has been Aimee's one-stop-shop for her
skincare and beauty needs. Referred to us by a friend (Kari Johnson),
Aimee does the same, recommending us to her friends and the occasional
"complete random stranger" she says. "When the topic of spas gets
brought up, I'm always raving about Naomi and the rest of the crew at
HM for their exceptional services and products!"
Miss September's menu favorites are the Brazilian Wax and the Glow on the Go. At home she blends a cocktail of the Yonka, Sircut Skin and
DerMed lines to keep her skin clear and fresh.
"I am so glad that I have met the girls at HM because I am now a
customer for life. I also have recently just opened up my own interior
design business and so the stress of that can definitely have a
negative effect on one's skin but I have no fear of that by being in
the capable hands of the girls at HM with their fantastic facial
services and skin care products. Love you guys XOXO"
Thanks again for your support! Enjoy your $50 Gift Certificate to Talarico in West Seattle!

September typically marks the beginning of another school year.
Even if
you're not packing a lunch and gearing up for another trip on the ol'
school bus, there's no reason you can't indulge in a little continuing
education.
That's why we're using this opportunity to give you a quick
lesson in age prevention. (And since this is a newsletter, we'll give
you the Cliff Notes version).
|
Lesson #1:
Aging is just another word for Oxidizing.
Think of an apple. When you cut it in half and leave it on the counter
for an hour, it wrinkles, turns brown, and starts looking less fresh.
This is exactly what your skin does from the moment you're born and are
exposed to the harsh elements of the environment.
Lesson #2:
Protection as Prevention.
Take that same apple, put a layer of plastic wrap around it and
leave it on the counter. Voila! It stays fresh longer! Now of course,
the apple will slowly deteriorate over time, (there's no stopping Mother
Nature, my dear) but you can prolong the effects of the environment by
protecting your skin.
Lesson #3:
Your Solution: Vitamin C.
Spare your skin from environmental stress with Vitamin C. Daily
topical application of a high-quality form of Vitamin C serum is key in
combating signs of aging (oxidizing). Layer this wonder nutrient
underneath sunscreen for ultimate protection and benefits that
include: increased collagen production, prevention of discoloration, and healthier, glowing skin
Homework Assignment:
Pick up one of our exceptional Vitamin C Serums and apply daily.
For more information on which serum is best for your skin type, ask your HM Esthetician after your next facial.

Ask Miss Maintenance
Dear Miss Maintenance,
I recently celebrated my 32nd
birthday and (at the advice of my esthetician and mother) turned my
skincare regimen up a notch. I invested in some fantastic Sircut Skin
and Yonka products for my face, neck and eye area. I thought I had
everything covered, and then I read an article recently about how your
lips need extra care too? Normally I just slap on some gloss or
chapstick and call it a day. Is there some lip-care revolution I
haven't heard about?
Signed,
Lasting Lips
Dear LL,
It's good to hear that you're taking your skincare seriously. Many women start caring after its too late, so nice work in investing in good products that'll prevent aging. As
far as your lips are concerned, yes there are some amazing products out
there that are beautiful to wear and have beneficial components as well.
Our new favorite is Jane Iredale's "Just Kissed" tinted lip gloss. Like
all of Jane's products, this shea butter based gloss is formulated to
be effective but gentle, so it won't sting or leave your lips sticky. It
comes in five shades and contains time released peptides that increase
hydration and collagen production (reducing the appearance of fine
lines and wrinkles around your mouth). It even has essential lemon and
tangerine oils that help exfoliate dead skin cells! As
far as we're concerned all you really need to do is throw on some "Just
Kissed" and call it a day because it does all the work for you! Enjoy!
