Alright Brides I hear it daily in my treatment room, “I want flawless skin”, “How do I get clear skin?”  Here are a couple of tips I tell my Brides:

• Stop using 50 different products on your face.
• You must cleanse your skin morning and night, no excuses of being too tired.
• Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate
• Invest in high quality skin care products, this does not mean $1000 cleanser it means know what you are putting on your skin.
• Have a morning and night time protocol
• Feed your skin with serums
• Use a chemical free SPF no less then 30 that’s oil free.
• Get on a 4-6 week standing facial appointment for a deep clean each month.

Pink Clarisonic Pro

 I am not big on pushing tons of skin care products that my Brides and clients are not going to use.  It’s important to understand what you are putting on your skin, not cherry picking from 10 lines and hoping for that flawless skin.  Having great skin is actually quit simple, if you use the Clarisonic Pro and the Opal Sonic Fusion you will see dramatic results guaranteed when using the proper skin care.  I personally use both the Clarisonic Pro and The Opal Fusion system and have seen a dramatic change to my skin.

Fresh Beauty Studio just launched their Bridal Flawless Skin Boot Campthis month.  The package includes the Clarisonic Pro in pink, The Opal Sonic Fusion, $100 worth of Image Skin Care and a The New Yorker facial all for $500.00 (a $105 savings). Hello clean clear flawless skin ready to walk down the isle.   

Flawless Bridal Skin

The most important part and the first step towards flawless skin is cleansing your skin, this step is often overlooked.  Basic manual cleansing can leave behind dirt, pollution and oil trapped in pores. This build-up can cause acne breakouts, bumps, uneven skin tone.  Having congested skin will keep your skin care products from working like they should.  The Clarisonic Pro which has 4 speeds (3 lower speeds for face and one speed for the areas of the body needing extra attention) only available through a skin care specialist  uses a patented sonic frequency of more than 300 movements per second to gently, yet thoroughly remove 6X more makeup and 2X more dirt and oil than cleansing with your hands alone.  The Clarisonic is gentle enough to use twice a day, it will reduce oily areas,  dry skin patches and blemishes.  Remember your handsome groom is also part of the skin care ritual.  You will see a huge improvement after properly cleansing your skin when you apply your serums and creams, they will actually penetrate into  your skin instead of sitting on top of the epidermis; basically wasting product and not benefiting your skin.  In other words if you want to have that “Blushing Bridal Glow” you must take a good look at your skin care routine and make the necessary investment with your skin care products and skin care system.

Opal Sonic Fusion System

I was at the Trump hotel in Las Vegas last month and had a facial that included the Opal Sonic Fusion for my eye area.  Since I use the Clarisonic Pro in my facials for my Brides and clients, I was excited to experience the Opal and see if I wanted to bring it in to my facial treatment room. I am always hesitant when new technology comes out and the claims that they have. I have waited on trying the Opal to see what the reviews and feedback were.  The Opal Sonic Fusion is a palm-sized infusion device, it is specially designed to help build skin’s resilience over time and prevent future damage around the eyes. The Opal gently infuses their specially formulated Anti-Aging Sea Serum by gently tapping the skin around the eye at 125 sonic movements per second maximizing absorption in a way that’s not possible with your finger alone.  I was very surprised how tight and hydrated my eye area felt (always a plus when you are not 18 years old).   The eye area is very delicate, all those late nights dancing in Louboutins sipping on that sexy martini are starting to show which is not so sexy the next morning. If you are looking to tighten your eye area, look younger and refreshed the Opal Infusion System is a must.  I am so excited to use this product after seeing how hydrated my skin looks after long nights working on location and flying.  An added benefit with the Opal is that you can also use it on your lips, brow and forehead areas.

Both the Clarisonic and Opal Fusion can be bought on www.freshbeautystudio.com
