3 Ways to Get Summer-Ready

Memorial Day is almost here, and it has us excited for the summer season to begin. Backyard barbecues, pool parties, and trips to the beach are all on the calendar. Bring out the shorts, swimsuits, and rompers, and head to those summer gatherings. You can practically taste the ocean air and smell the burgers on the grill, can’t you?

noninvasive treatment that aids collagen production and encourages an even skin tone. Or try a VI Peel, a gentle chemical peel that treats acne scarring, fine lines, sun spots, hyperpigmentation, and enlarged pores to give your skin a reboot. See? Didn’t we say you have options?

BRING OUT YOUR FAVORITE SUN ACCESSORIES What’s your skin’s best friend in the summer (and really, all year

There’s only one question left: Is your skin as ready for summer as you are?

If your answer is no, there are some simple steps you can take to get there. Plus, we have one suggestion that you’ll want to follow all year long. Here are three ways to take advantage of our favorite time of year and protect your skin while you’re at it.

long)? Sunscreen. You don’t want to go anywhere without it. It’s the perfect accessory to your skin-care regimen and the customized treatments

you schedule with your esthetician. You want to protect the look you’ve

worked so hard to achieve, and that’s where protection comes into play.

Look for products that contain SPF 30 — many moisturizers and makeup lines now do — and use them daily. We love the Rhonda Allison line on Page 2. In addition to being rejuvenating and moisturizing, many of her products contain sunscreen. You’ll also want to utilize the help of protective accessories. Find a cute hat and trendy pair of sunglasses, and voila! You are ready to hit the beach or lounge poolside. Whichever treatments are right for you, your Beautique esthetician will help you find them. There’s also a lot you can do at home to prevent damage from the sun and protect the skin you’ve come to love. Talk to your esthetician for more suggestions, and enjoy the warmth of the sun while knowing you’re protecting yourself from its harmful rays.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FRESH PRODUCE Now, more than any other time of the year, fruits and vegetables are at their ripest and tastiest! Berries, peaches, nectarines, tomatoes, peas — they all taste delicious, and your body and skin will thank you for eating them. Berries contain antioxidants that help your body battle inflammation, and all the vitamins in fruits and veggies give you a nutritious boost. Being in season, they also tend to contain more nutrients now than they do the rest of the year. Enjoy them in a smoothie or juice, or add them to your salad for a sweet twist. BUILD BETTER SKIN Our spa offers several options that literally help you build better skin. The sun takes a toll on us, and to combat it, we sometimes need an extra hand. Using technology, we’re able to apply most treatments in as little as half an hour.

Happy May!

GET RIPPED WITH YOUTUBE Looking for a specific kind of workout? YouTube has you covered. Personal trainers in every field post videos online.

5 OF YOUR BOTOX QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

3. Does it hurt? It doesn’t hurt. It’s just a tiny little poke, and we can make it as comfortable as possible by numbing the area. If you’re afraid of needles, it may be more challenging, but we will make the experience as comfortable as possible. 4. How long does Botox take, and how long do the effects last? It can be applied in just 30 minutes, so a lot of times people come in during their lunch hour. The effects last for about three months. After that, the effects will fade off and you’ll look natural. 5. Where can it be applied? Botox can be applied in the crows feet, forehead, and the lines around the mouth (known as the elevens). Botox is for areas of muscle movement, which makes it different from dermal fillers. The results speak for themselves. Call Beautique today to schedule your treatment.

Marisol, Guest Relations Manager (back), and Veronica, Esthetician (front)

There are a lot of misconceptions about Botox. Thankfully, there are experienced and educated staff working at Beautique who know all about the treatments we use and can answer your questions. Veronica and Marisol took the time to answer some of the common questions we get about Botox on our Facebook page. Here’s the scoop on what these knowledgeable ladies have to say. 1. What is it, and how does it work? Botox is a type of toxin and such a small amount is injected that it is not harmful. 2. Will it look like I had work done? We can customize the amount that is suitable for you and if you desire, we can make it look natural. Everyone has different tastes about the look they want to have.

ENRICH YOUR VACATION BUY LOCAL WHEN YOU’RE ABROAD

ART Just as your town probably has local artisans who produce unique and interesting work, the same is true for your vacation destination. Anyone can get a gift shop bauble that was mass-produced somewhere else. Take the time to peruse market stalls and craft fairs while you travel. It can lead you to some truly special souvenirs, and you’ll support the arts and traditions of the region! PEOPLE While you’re out sampling local restaurants and exploring local markets, you’ll meet plenty of local people. Don’t be afraid to strike up a friendly conversation. You can make new friends around the globe and learn about their unique experiences. One of the most enriching experiences in life is meeting new people and gaining new perspectives. MEMORIES Treasured memories are the best souvenir you can bring home from any vacation. So, you owe it to yourself to get out and explore!

The virtues of buying locally sourced food and supporting small businesses have been widely extolled. But we rarely think to apply the same practices when we travel. Many Americans spring for all-inclusive packages when planning their next summer vacation, but doing so means they’ll miss out on some of the best aspects of the culture they’re visiting. Part of the joy of traveling is having new experiences you can’t have at home. Whether you’re in another state or another country, you owe it to yourself to seek out the unique aspects of that location. But to find the character and quirks of your destination, you’ll have to explore beyond the hotel lobby. FOOD Why have a cheeseburger from a fast-food chain when you can try a local favorite? A great way to start is by asking your taxi driver or hotel concierge about their favorite place to eat. You’ll discover new foods and flavor combinations, and the locally owned restaurant is sure to appreciate your business!
