You’ve probably heard the saying, “you are what you eat” many times before. Most people are interested in healthy eating to lose weight, but what about eating a diet based on the best foods for skin? A healthy complexion is often indicative of a healthy diet.  When you eat fast food, processed sugars, unhealthy fats, […]

microdermabrasion pigmentation

Let’s face it: we all want skin that’s tight, supple, blemish-free, and evenly toned. However, as we age, freckles, blemishes, and dark spots seem to ‘magically’ appear. This leaves many women to pile on concealer in an attempt to hide skin pigmentation. Sound familiar? Trust us, you’re not alone.

Choosing colours for your skin tone can be easy. How many times have you vowed to start wearing more colour, yet your wardrobe keeps getting replenished with the same ol’ GBW (grey, black, and white). We know that it can be daunting choosing colours for your skin tone, especially when you’re unsure of how to choose which will flatter or which will flaw. But now that the sun has officially starting making regular appearances, it’s time to mix-up those fifty shades of grey.
Choosing colours for your skin tone, also referred to as colour analysis, is the process of finding clothes that flatter your complexion. So when deciding which colour will work for you, we suggest thinking of it like seasons.

ALL MINERALS ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL

About “Be Aware, Compare” Test

Recommended by leading Dermatologists and Celebrity Makeup Artists alike, Colorescience Pro® is truly blending the line between Color and Science, and is the evolution into the 21st century of premium makeup. Formulated with substantiated and distinctive active ingredients, our products fuse all of the beauty and fun of makeup with the benefits and efficacy of skincare. Our fashion forward colors give you immediate beauty benefits while premium ingredients work synergistically to create the best skin solutions. With Colorescience® Pro, looking good is now good for your skin!

Ingredients Are Key
The “Be Aware, Compare” Test is an easy way to distinguish between mineral makeup and “makeup with some minerals in it”. However, before you begin pouring your minerals in water, you must first read their ingredient list. By definition, there are specific ingredients that must not be included in the formulations of authentic mineral makeup. Colorescience® Pro, we call them The Seven Deadly Skins!  When any of these ingredients are present, they are not only potentially damaging to your skin, but they eliminate the product from the mineral category.

The Seven Deadly Skins

  • Talc
  • Perfumes
  • Mineral Oil
  • Harsh Preservatives
  • Drying Alcohols
  • Emulsifiers
  • Dyes
  • Minerals are not properly processed  (this one is added in because we feel this one should also be something to look out for)

Ingredients that muddy the water are not real minerals. Minerals that sink to the bottom when placed in water are not properly processed.

COLORESCIENCE® Pro IS THE CLEAR WINNER
The water test is a conclusive way to determine the purity and processing of the minerals you are using. But what does this mean to you? Clear water demonstrates that Colorescience® Pro minerals offer three important benefits:

  • The minerals stay on the surface of the water. This demonstrates how the minerals also remain on the surface of the skin.
  • The minerals don’t absorb the water. This proves that authentic mineral makeup is very water resistant and offers stable sun protection.
  • The minerals are solid and particulate (do not dissolve) in the water.

This showcases mineral makeup’s camouflage capabilities and wearability throughout the day and night.

Understanding What Mineral Makeup Is – And What It Is Not
The use of high tech, proven ingredients such as peptides, liquid crystals and pearl powder, in the correct potent percentages, allow Colorescience® Pro to create synergistic products that give you instant and long lasting results.

Different Laser Hair Removal Systems For Different People

A hair removal system is a hair removal system, right?

Nope.

In fact, when choosing a laser hair removal provider, you must be aware of the differences in the machines used.

Some providers only offer one machine, which limits the effectiveness of hair removal. Urban Laser Body has been specializing in hair removal for almost a decade. That means we’ve learned a thing or two.

We know one machine can’t do everything, which is why we have three laser systems and one light system. Take a look at each of them. You will see that while all of them can treat all skin types, each system is best suited for certain hair and skin types.

For you, that means permanent hair removal, not permanent hair reduction. And that’s the long-term result you want!

Microdermabrasion FAQ’s What’s The Big Difference Between Classic Microdermabrasion And Diamond Tipped Microdermabrasion? The classic system uses crystals to peel off dead skin. The new diamond tipped microdermabrasion system uses diamonds. The result is far less disruptive because it polishes the skin. Lastly, the wand is far more accurate than the previous system. That means […]

Laser hair removal: What you need to know

Laser hair removal tips from a dermatologist to help you get smooth and sexy skin this summer.

With bikini season right around the corner (we already have our sexy little number purchased) women go into full-blown hair removal mode and will do anything to get smooth skin for summer dresses, short-shorts and of course, the beach. All those tired of the nicks and time it takes with shaving raise your hand. And while waxing gives you a bit of a break from the shave routine, let’s be honest — the pain factor is not something any of us look forward to. But don’t fret — there are other options for hair removal (that don’t involve nearly as much pain and are more permanent), such as laser hair removal. To get the skinny on how laser hair removal works and tips for getting it done, ELLE Canada asked dermatologist Dr. Lisa Kellett of DKL on Avenue for her advice.
