Skin feeling dry around the colder months? We have some tips for you.

Winter Facials and  skin peels, at Red Lotus skin care in Portland, are a great remedy, but there are some tips to think about. Sometimes during the fall and winter months with the weather changing, it can make our skin feel tight and dry. The first thing is to always make sure you are getting enough water, we recommend 10-12 glasses per day. Second is to look for moisturizers containing glycerin, sorbitol, and alpha hyrdoxy acids. Jessica, an esthetician at Red Lotus, battles dry skin daily and recommends silkcoat balm by PCA skin. Third, make sure you are still wearing your suncreen! Winter sun combined with potential snow glare can cause sunburns so apply sunscreen to your face and any other skin that is exposed, such as your hands. Lastly, cut your hot showers short or lower the temp. Hot water breaks down the lipid barriers in the skin which can make your skin lose moisture.  Now that you have these tips under wraps come in to Red Lotus salon for a facial or skin peel.

Cheap lash extensions are not a bargain at all. Don't make this mistake.

 Flare lashes are not 3D  volume lash extensions and Jessica at Red Lotus in Portland, Oregon will tell you why. First off, what is a "flare"? A flare is a bundle of about 3 lashes usually knotted at the base creating a bulky, fake appearance. The knots cause strain on the lashes and make them not shed properly and can cause tugging and irritation.In extreme cases, wearing flare lashes for weeks and months can cause permanent bald spots on the lash line or a very sparse lash line that can take years to grow back. Flare lashes usually last around 10 days whereas 3D volume lash extensions lash 3-4 weeks before needing a fill. But why should you beware the flare?  flare extensions are glued to the tip of a natural lash, not the base. Glueing to the tip of a lash will cause them to droop and potentially cause breakage. There are some places out there that glue flares to the base but if the weight of one single lash on average is .15 and there are usually 4 or more in a flare that is a lot of weight on the base of a little natural eyelash. 3D Volume lash extensions are placed in a fan of 2-4 but the weight of one is .07 and these are not knotted at the base. So would you rather have bulky lashes for 10 days and potential permanent damage or beautiful, fanned, volume lashes for a month?

Sea Salt Detox Bath from Red Lotus Skin Care Salon

10/16/2014

0 Comments

 
Picture
A salt bath is among the oldest baths out there, and has been used for many years to help people relax and unwind. But did you also know that sea salt alone can help to pull toxins out of the body, and provide extra benefits to your skin? This recipe uses sea salt, so you’re getting all natural salt, not the kind that is iodized and sold in cylindrical containers. Some of the reported benefits from soaking in this bath: having more energy at the beginning of the day, not needing to reach for a caffeine jolt, and feeling better throughout the whole day.



Ingredients

♥ 1/3 C Epsom salts
♥ 1/3 C Sea salt
♥ 1/3 C Baking soda
♥ 2 1/2 t Ground ginger
♥ 1 C Apple cider vinegar

Instructions
  1. Combine all of the dry ingredients in a bowl.
  2. Draw a bath with hot water, as hot as you handle. As the water is filling the tub, add all of the dry ingredients and the vinegar. The flowing water will help mix it, but make sure to mix it up well. (If your water turns yellow or orange, that’s just the ginger and the vinegar). 
  3. Soak for about 40 minutes and relax.
You can use chopped fresh ginger if you choose, but we suggest putting it in a tea ball or something similar so pieces of ginger aren't floating around in your tub or clog your drain.

Baking Soda Detox Bath from Red Lotus Skin Care Salon

10/16/2014

0 Comments

 
Picture
Are you aware that common baking soda, the kind you keep in your fridge to absorb odors, can also be used as a detoxing device? It’s true, just adding this to your bath you’re giving it properties it otherwise wouldn’t have. It’s been said that a baking soda bath can help you to de-stress. It’s very important to view stress as a toxic condition, and to look at different ways of relaxing as a way to detox the body. Baking soda is scientifically known as sodium bicarbonate, great for neutralizing the chlorine that has been added to most city water sources. It’s tough to detox in a bath that’s full of a toxic chemical, so it’s good that this makes it cleaner naturally.

Ingredients

♥ 1 C of Epsom salt
♥ 2 C of Baking sodaInstructions
  1. Combine 1-part Epsom salt to a 2-part baking soda – mixture creates this basic detox bath for one 30 minute soak. For a first detox bath, measure 1 cup of Epsom salt and 2 cups of baking soda.
  2. Add mixture while drawing hot bath water, filling the tub 2/3 of the way full.
  3. Soak for at least one half hour. 

Other ingredients may be added to this basic detox bath, depending on the need. For example, salt can be drying to the skin. Therefore, you can add 10 drops of glycerin to your bath water to counterbalance this reaction.

Ginger Detox Bath from Red Lotus Skin Care Salon

10/16/2014

1 Comment

 
Picture
Ginger is a root that possesses loads of healthy properties when you eat it, but it can also be used in other ways to help the body, like soaking in a ginger bath. You can either grate fresh ginger into your bath or sprinkling in some ginger powder. The author of the recipe says that it’s a way to get the body to sweat a lot more and get even extra amounts of toxins out, much like taking a sauna or sitting in a steam room. They say it leads to feelings of increased energy, feeling cleaner, and warding off symptoms of an oncoming cold.


Ingredients
♥ 1/2 C of freshly grated ginger or a rounded teaspoon of ginger powder

Instructions
  1. Add grated ginger or ginger powder to hot or warm water.
  2. Soak for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Make sure to drink plenty of water after your ginger bath.
Please remember that the ginger bath will make you sweat profusely for at least an hour afterwards, so wear sweat clothes or a bathrobe.  If you have sensitive skin or are allergy-prone, test ginger on your skin for irritation before dipping into the bath.

Apple Cider Vinegar Detox Bath from Red Lotus Skin Care Salon

10/16/2014

0 Comments

 

In case you’re not yet familiar with the benefits apple cider vinegar provides, it’s important to invest some time to learn about just what it can do for you, both consumed internally, and used externally to treat a number of conditions. Here it’s being used in a detox bath to help with conditions such as arthritis and gout, as well as anything else that is caused by inflammation. This is a great bath to take if you’re feeling like you need to sweat the toxins out, and likewise if you want to ensure that you get to sleep without lying awake with a wandering mind.Ingredients ♥ 1-2 C of raw Apple Cider Vinegar Instructions
  1. While drawing your bath, add the apple cider vinegar.
  2. Soak for up to 30 minutes. Remember, hot water is best for all detox baths since hot water is what is needed to help detoxify as it opens up the skin’s pores. Keep water to drink nearby as well as a washcloth…this bath is gonna make you sweat! Get a head start by drinking some water while you are running the bath too.
  3. Dry yourself off after the bath, but don’t be surprised if you continue to sweat for a couple of hours afterwards. You may also find that the vinegar detox bath makes you a little sleepy, so you might want to head straight to bed after hopping out of the tub.
  4. Make sure to drink water before you hit the pillow, and have water handy in case you wake up in the night so you can keep hydrated.
Check with your doctor if you have any conditions such as high blood pressure or a heart condition before using this natural apple cider vinegar detox bath recipe.

Best Candidates for Lash Extensions. Who are the best candidates for lash extensions? Anyone, really and Jessica, the lash tech at Red Lotus in Beaverton Oregon will tell you why!Eye lash Extensions are weightless, resistant to water, showering, perspiration, exercise, tears, sleeping, and even swimming!Single strands of synthetic eyelashes are applied to each individual natural eyelash giving you a natural, flawless, beautiful look. Because of this thorough application, your lashes will look and feel completely real. They are perfect for special occasions as well as for everyday wear.Just about everyone is a good candidate for lash extensions. A specially trained technician will apply the lash extensions using surgical-grade glue directly to your eyelashes. There is no direct contact with your skin or eyes, and the extensions can be easily removed in the salon, if needed.Not all of us are blessed with naturally long lashes, so we have to resort to other methods. Here’s a brief list of the top candidates who benefit greatly from eyelash extensions.
   
Professional Women of All Ages

Most professional women would die for a way to save valuable time getting ready for work.  Eyelash extensions give the look of curled lashes and mascara. The effect opens up your eyes and lifts your features, giving you a feminine and healthy appearance. One of the prime benefits to lash extensions is that you wake up and roll out of bed looking gorgeous, without the hassle of applying makeup!When properly applied by an eyelash extension expert, your eyelash extensions will remain in place until the natural lash falls out. This look can last indefinitely with one hour to one hour and a half refills every 2-3 weeks.   

Anyone wanting longer, fuller lashes. Everyone feels a boost in confidence from feeling pretty. Eyelash extensions will give you a natural, elegant look while adding length and fullness to your own natural lashes.The overall look of the lashes is very natural and beautiful and no one will know you have extensions, unless you tell them!Eyelash extensions are lightweight and feathery with a natural look and feel. Having long, gorgeous lashes completes a woman’s makeup and gives the eyes a more dramatic and awake appearance.   

Anyone wanting a dramatic effect for a Special Occasion.Now there’s a way to intensify the power of alluring eyes with long, thick glamorous lashes! Sometimes mascara or false lashes don’t quite achieve the flirty, seductive look that many people want for that special day or night out. You can customize your glam look based on your personal taste and needs. Eyelash extensions come in many different lengths, thickness, and colors. Eyelash extension application is an exacting process that takes skill and time. Take time to choose a trained Eyelash Extension Expert for beautiful, natural eyelashes. Jessica is certified in both classic eyelash extensions and 3D volume lash extensions.

What to do when...... I have had a peel and my skin is flaking? 

10/8/2014

0 Comments

 
Picture
  Master Aesthetician Patricia  at Red Lotus Skin Peel salon in Portland, Oregon, talks about what to expect for a light peel.   " Many new clients are very concerned when they see peeling or flaking as well as they may become concerned if they don't peel. Rest assured both are to be expected and normal after a so called peel. The goal with a light peel is to talk to the skin with ingredients that encourage the skin to start cellular turnover and healthy growth. Sometimes to get acne, dry skin and rough skin as well as pigment out of the skin layers that are deeper, we must go through a light peel.  Peels gets the skin to shed these issues by flaking them away. Please do not confuse this with dry skin.  Dry skin is accompanied by red and tight skin that feels like it will crack.  But light flaking is good and a gentle enzyme and a few days will do the trick.  Please be patient, do not rush the process.  Sometimes the skin need a week to shed sometimes a few days.  This all depends on the build up you have going on.  I have many a new client call me upset that the skin is flaking.   We must remember to change the skin we must take off with the old layers and up with the new.  Another  thing clients mention is "my skin did not peel at all"  this  too can be normal.  One it depends on where in your growth cycle you are, two you may have peeled recently and the skin just needs less peeling now but the deeper skin changes are happening like lightening and collagen building.  I will leave you with one encouragement, be patient, go slow and do not quit.  I see 1 out of 10 clients who really want to change their skin condition but hesitate with the process and are discouraged.  Each person who followed the peel process and stuck with it where extremely happy with the results no one else could get for them."
