“Happy Birthday” On the 16th of March its Toby’s 16th birthday,and funny that its my 16th Be Skin Savvy post. Which brings me to today’s topic “The simple cleanse”. My last client yesterday and my first 2 today are all young men and I know I’ve covered this before, but Mom…they are seriously concerned about […]
” The Sound of Silence” I have a sign hanging in my room ‘Please silence your cell phone’ what I’m really asking is please leave it in the car or set it to ‘do not disturb’ no ringing, buzzing or vibrating. This is not so it doesn’t disturb me its ALL for you. My clients […]
Be Skin Savvy #14 – “Wax on, wax off”. If you have ever considered waxing, now is the time to start. Bikini, underarms, legs, arms or back. Its best to schedule your first wax for approximately 10 days after you last shaved or used any other method of hair removal. (Then every 3-6 weeks after […]

Be Skin savvy #9 – No Fluff or Fuss! This is how I describe one of the facials that I offer. It is a great treatment and it is just that ‘a great treatment’. What it is not is an all-inclusive facial that includes thorough massage. I have been to many classes over the years […]
Be Skin Savvy #8 – “I’m one hot mess!” This is how one client described herself a few days ago. “And I have more breakouts than my teenager!”………Oh the terrible 40’s what to do?
