Home Care Matters

By Skin Studio Professional Estheticians

At Skin Studio, our estheticians are here to help you with your skin needs. It is our goal for you to go home understanding what you can do to improve your skin. Learning about which ingredients are best for your skin type is so important to maintain healthy and glowing skin! Skin Studio carries pharmaceutical grade products with the best ingredients so your skin can stay healthy and glow!

Cleanser

Apply dime size to damp skin and massage over face and neck. Rinse with warm
water. Cleanse twice at night (especially for acne-prone or oily skin),
1 minute each (2 minutes total). The 1st wash removes excess oil,
dirt, make-up & impurities. The 2nd wash cleanses deep into
pores. Cleanser can be used alone or mixed with a facial scrub. Use A.M. and
P.M. 

Exfoliation

Gently polish away dead skin cells to leave your skin feeling smooth. Exfoliation also helps aid in better absorption of products. Apply to clean, damp skin or mix in with your cleanser and gently massage over face and neck. Depending on your skin conditions, use at least once a week. Don’t forget to exfoliate the crease of your nose, temples, and under jaw line!

Chemical

Also known as a peel. This form of exfoliation could include various hydroxy acids (i. E. Lactic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Glycolic Acid), Retinol, or enzymes. Each type of exfoliation contains different properties that improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. 

Mechanical

This type of exfoliation uses gentle scrubbing beads to loosen dead skin cells and smooth out skin texture. A combination of both mechanical and chemical exfoliation can be a great option for your skin! Ask your esthetician which is best for your skin type!

Toner

This step hydrates, balances and preps skin. Spray evenly over the face and neck used throughout the day to refresh your skin. Do not let the toner dry! Apply serum on damp skin.

Serum

Super concentrated ingredients, depending on the concentration can increase hydration level, firm skin, improve skin texture, clear the skin, and prevent signs of aging.  Depending on the serum, it can be used in the morning, and/or at night. Use before moisturizer and after a toner (toner should not dry when applied). Toner, serum, moisturizer.

Mask

Depending on the mask, it can increase hydration, promote firming, reduce sensitivity, deep clean, and/or provide multiple vitamins & antioxidants. Apply a thin layer to a clean face and neck for 10-15 minutes (1-2 times per week).  Use a mask after cleansing and exfoliating your skin, but before all other products. After you rinse off the mask, apply the rest of your regimen in the proper order.

Moisturizer

Depending on the mask, it can increase hydration, promote firming, reduce sensitivity, deep clean, and/or provide multiple vitamins & antioxidants. Apply a thin layer to a clean face and neck for 10-15 minutes (1-2 times per week).  Use a mask after cleansing and exfoliating your skin, but before all other products. After you rinse off the mask, apply the rest of your regimen in the proper order.

Eye Care

Eye cream improves and prevents fine lines, and hydrates. Gently tap a small amount around the eye area, in a ‘C’ shape along the outer corners of the eye. Can use A.M and P.M.

Get to know Irina: Owner & Skin Expert

skin studio boston

Meet Irina: Founder, Owner, Skin Care Expert & Professional

Skin Studio was founded in Boston in 2005 by Irina Fiksler. Irina is a skin care expert and has been an esthetician for over 18 years. She came from Russia and was trained by highly specialized estheticians in cosmetic and medical treatments at Elizabeth Grady School of Esthetics. Irina started her career by working at a prestigious salon on Newbury Street in Boston. There, she fell in love with skin care treatments and waxing. Consequently, she became a skin care expert and opened Skin Studio to help her clients look their best and improve their confidence.

Irina had felt strongly about helping people with acne, aging, and unwanted hair. She had made it her goal to find the right treatment regimen to prevent breakouts, reduce the signs of aging, and find the most gentle wax for hair removal. Irina has had acne herself and she had long searched for the effective treatments and affordable products to get and maintain the clear complexion she had always wanted. Fortunately she had found the way to clear and prevent acne. That has given her confidence and inspired her to help others. 

Irina’s professional goal became to help people to effectively treat common dermatologic conditions. Using the combination of knowledge and experience Irina finds the right treatment to address her client’s specific needs. In addition, as of November 2017, Irina has become an Oncology Certified Esthetician, through intense training and classes. She is so passionate about the industry and wants to help clients with cancer in their healing process, to feel their best.

Skin Studio Expert Irina Fiksler

I was able to sit down with Irina and ask some questions all about her favorite treatments, path to where she is today, and what the next step is for Skin Studio!

What tips can you give to people for at home care?

“You only have one skin! Be comfortable in your own skin!”

“Every women should have an esthetician or ‘skin guru’ that she can open up to about her skin concerns. It’s SO important to be able to ask skin related questions to someone with the knowledge and background.”

“Use SPF every single day.. it’s a must. We all like Vitamin D and it feels good, but it doesn’t look good when you’re 50 or 60 years old.”

What is your favorite facial at Skin Studio?

“The Ultimate Facial.. with me! I absolutely love this facial because it incorporates so many different aspects of our studio. You get a little bit of everything!”

  “Ultrasonic Exfoliation, Professional Level Chemical Peel, Diamond Microdermabrasion, and the choice between IPL Skin tightening & LED Light Therapy!”

“I also love a Lactic acid peel because it is ultra-hydrating, gentle, helps with pigmentation, and anti-aging. It’s gentle enough for all ages of skin.”

How do you manage the ongoing information flow and new trends about skin that is continuously coming out?

“Continuing education! This is extremely important to me and my studio. I try to take at least 1 class per quarter, whether in-person or online. In addition, I’ve taken various business courses and courses about different skin care services. My next course is all about LED Light Therapy and how beneficial it is for acneic skin and anti-aging. I can’t wait for it!”

“I require our estheticians to take multiple continuing education courses so they can learn new techniques and stay up to date with all of the new and upcoming trends. It’s always important to keep learning!”

“This industry changes every second. New products and new treatments are being introduced all over the place. I am constantly researching and testing the newest trends. However, I always try out the product on myself before offering it to any clients or my team!”

“It is beneficial to surround yourself with successful and like-minded people… especially for women in business – we need to support each other.”

“A great way to stay up-to-date with the constant flow of information is to follow and listen to other skin care professionals and leaders in the field. Therefore, I even belong to many groups and online societies that discuss various new trends (i.e. different clubs, website platforms, monthly classes, podcasts). You can probably catch me listening to a skin care podcast on my way to and from work.

What is your favorite thing about your job?

“In the room… extractions. Deep pore cleanings during a facial is definitely one of my favorites.”

“But outside of the room.. seeing the results of the hard work that clients and estheticians put in to get healthy and glowing skin. It’s not easy to maintain all of the aspects and it’s always so exciting to see the hard work pay off!”

What's next for Skin Studio?

“I would absolutely love to create my own skin care line and to share it with all of my lovely clients!”

Welcome, 2018!

Let’s Learn The Basics: Skin Care 101

Our skin is the largest organ & is constantly changing!
It consists of three main layers:

epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous

These layers are made up of various inner appendages that contribute to your skins overall function. Healthy and beautiful skin begins deep within these layers and it is crucial for you to take care of your skin through the use of wholesome products and proper maintenance. When the natural skin barrier is disturbed, its protective functions and appearance are compromised.

As our skin loses moisture and elasticity, it will look and feel more dry, rough, and cracked. However, damage done to the uppermost skin layer can heal without scarring. Alternatively so, if damage reaches the dermis and an inner layer is affected, then scarring is more likely to occur.

Understanding our body’s inner workings is fundamental to learning what is best for our skin!

All about Spa Week

The Science Of Vitamin C and Anti-aging

What do we know about free radicals and how they relate to the aging process?

Free radicals are molecules that are missing an electron in their outer rings, making them unstable. UV rays, pollution, cigarette smoke and stress are all things that expose us to these free radicals. Free radicals are also thought to cause a number of skin conditions related to aging, including skin darkening, inflammation, and the breakdown of collagen and elastin – elements that make the skin plump and youthful. Years of exposure to free radicals causes our skin to show signs of aging.

Advancements and discoveries in modern skin care have resulted in a solution in the form of antioxidants. As an antioxidant, L-ascorbic Acid (also known as Vitamin C) has garnered serious attention. Research shows that it stimulates collagen production, while simultaneously working as an anti-inflammatory to speed up wound healing. While eating your citrus every day is certainly healthy, it alone will not be effective in the fight against the aging process. When ingested, a very small percentage of Vitamin C actually reaches the skin. Topical application is necessary for maximum skin care benefit. L-ascorbic Acid is the only form of topical Vitamin C every morning for protection against free radical damage. You start seeing the results in as little as 8-12 weeks.

Vitamin C is really good for your health and skin but when it is exposed to air it becomes oxidized and ineffective. Be sure that you use stable Vitamin C in your skin care products in order to reduce inflammation, build collagen and elastin.

WHAT YOU SHOULD LOOK FOR IN A VITAMIN C SERUM

The right pH: Studies show pH needs to be between 2.0 – 3.8 in order for Vitamin C serums to be effectively absorbed into the skin. All of our glo therapeutics Vitamin C serums fall in this range for maximum efficacy.

In addition, clinical studies show the chirally correct form of Ascorbic Acid is the only form of Vitamin C the body recognizes. Therefore, it can utilize to help support collagen synthesis. Choose a Vitamin C serum that uses L-ascorbic Acid. You guessed right, all glo therapeutics Vitamin C serums utilize L-ascorbic Acid.

Added benefits: Supporting ingredients can boost the antioxidant benefits of Ascorbic Acid. Consider a serum like Ultra 15% Vitamin C serum which harnesses advanced supporting ingredients.

Note: The dark amber bottle our Vitamin C serums come in protects the serum from sunlight to preserve its efficacy.

Make an appointment at our Brookline skin care studio and you will experience the benefits of Vitamin C for your skin.

Vitamin C serum = experience anti-aging benefits at its best!

Get your skin ready for Spring

Is your skin dry, flaky and irritated after the winter?

To get your skin ready for spring let’s look at your skin care routine that should include hydration & exfoliation.

1. Start with Hydrating Gel Cleanser that thoroughly cleanses and nourishes your skin with a light foaming action.

Blue Lotus is a plant extract  that is anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and fights free radicals.  Lactic Acid a hydrating alpha hydroxy acid that gently exfoliates while improving skin  texture and pigmentation, softens fine lines.

2. During winter skin feels raw and sensitive, Soothing Gel Mask  cools and calms sensitive or irritated skin with a soothing complex of antioxidants and vitamins.

Calendula Extract is a flower extract rich in antioxidants and it is soothing and calming. In addition, Wild Yam Extract is an antioxidant filled with beneficial properties. Vitamin E is also an antioxidant that heals and repairs.

3. To improve dry, flaky skin exfoliation is extremely important.

To increase cell renewal try Renew Serum. Active ingredients like Glycolic Acid is a keratolytic alpha hydroxyl acid that smooths and improves skin’s texture. Salicylic Acid also renews skin and has anti-acne and anti-irritant properties, and  Retinol accelerates cellular renewal.

4. Wake up tired eyes, erase dark circles and relieve puffiness caused by water-retention with Eye Fix.

Pure essential oils and soothing botanical ingredients stimulate, smooth and tone the eye area. Rosemary Leaf Oil is also a natural tissue toner and firmer. In addition, it has anti-inflammatory properties and provides antioxidant benefits. Lavender Flower Oil an exceptional soothing and healing essential oil with anti-inflammatory properties. Peppermint Leaf Oil is a refreshing herb that cools and refreshes the skin.

6. Professional facial treatment is very important for health of your skin.

After our Lactic Acid Facial your skin will feel smooth and refreshed.5. And don’t forget about the lips. Our Lip Gloss with conditioning ingredients such as sunflower and safflower seed oil, and antioxidant blend of vitamins A, C, E and green tea extract will make your lip healthy and smooth. Add shine without stickiness in a great spring color Plum Glaze.

Now let’s get our skin ready for warm temperatures, blossoming trees and longer days to enjoy. Visit our skin care studio by Irina in Brookline for all of your skin care, waxing & make up needs.

What is BB cream?

BB cream is a multifunctional cream that is known as a Beauty Balm, Blemish Base or Brilliant Beauty.

The cream could brighten skin like a lightener and even skin tone like a foundation. Moreover, it can treat acne like a breakout treatment, hydrate like a moisturizer & protect like a sunscreen.

A German dermatologist invented the concept back in 1960’s. She needed a product that would protect and sooth the skin of her patients after laser treatment, peels and surgery. In 1980’s the product became very popular for its lightning properties among Japanese and South Korean young television soap stars that were camera-ready with their porcelain white complexions.

The BB cream is a great option for women that do not have a lot of time or desire to apply several products in the morning. Our version of the BB cream is Sheer Tint Base. It is made with a blend of  antioxidants vitamin A, C, E & green tea extract. Sheer tint base delicately covers flaws while providing skin with a sheer, healthy glow. Vitamin A is a powerful exfoliant, that decreases sebum (an oily secretion of the sebaceous glands) production and treats acne. Vitamin C improves skin elasticity, decreases wrinkles by stimulating collagen synthesis. It also promotes wound healing, and repairs sun damage. Vitamin E fights off free radicals that cause the signs of aging, repairs dry, rough skin. In addition, green tea extract lightens skin, fights inflammation, rejuvenates skin cells and prevents skin cancer.

Stop by our studio in Brighton and we will find the perfect shade of sheer tint base to match your skin tone.

Skin Care in Your 50s

Women in their 50’s are self confident, accepting and compassionate. Sadly, one aspect of 50’s that is hard to control is effects of the menopause on the skin and body. Free radicals and environmental elements have taking the toll in the skin’s ability to repair and elastin and collagen production have significantly declined but there are ways to keep your skin looking fresh and radiant.

Clean & Condition at once

– cleaning the skin in imperative at any age but gently cleansing is especially important now. Our Conditioning Milk Cleanser gently washes away impurities, soothing and protecting the skin with conditioning and antioxidant ingredients. Jojoba Oil, a natural ingredient that calms and soothes the skin; Grape Seed Extract is also a powerful antioxidant with protective and reparative properties; Safflower Oil is a hydrating emollient with skin moisturizing properties.

Enhance Collagen

– the hormonal changes cause the loss of collagen in the skin. 2 ingredients that stimulate collagen synthesis in the skin are Vitamin C and Copper Peptides. Ultra 15% Vitamin C Serum dramatically transforms skin with a cutting-edge blend of peptides and antioxidants that provides complete protection by repairing and strengthening skin cells and their functions. Vitamin C provides protection against UV damage, reduces redness and promotes wound healing.

The Neck

– most of us often forget to treat the neck but it is an essential part of keeping the skin fresh and youthful. The neck has less of sebaceous glands and with less oil production skin is often dehydrate. Try Neck Firming Serum that promotes the appearance of a tighter, firmer and smoother neck. Innovative ingredients provide a remodeling effect by boosting collagen and Hyaluronic Acid production. As a result, the combined lifting action, brighteners and anti-aging properties give a more youthful-looking neck.

Fight Age Spots

– nobody like to see age spots and hyperpigmentation. A way to lighten up the age spots is to use products with powerful ingredient Hydroquinone that lightens the skin. Consider our Triple Action Serum that helps inhibit the production of melanin, clears skin and refines texture. Main ingredients are: Hydroquinone, a skin lightener, Retinol, a cellular renewal accelerator, Glycolic Acid, an uneven pigmentation fighter, and Algowhite, a skin brightener.

Advanced Anti-Aging

– The Cyto-Luxe products utilize Phytostem Technology and cutting edge ingredients that fight against wrinkles. In addition, Cyto-Luxe Serum smoothes the appearance of wrinkles by helping promote collagen, supporting the skin and softening the appearance of expression lines. Cyto-Luxe Serum works together with Cyto-Luxe Cream to increase the production of Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid. Moreover, an amazing Cyto-Luxe Eye Cream restructures aging skin by increasing collagen and elastin. This all-in-one eye cream also targets expression lines and reduces dryness around the eyes.

Visit Your Esthetician Monthly

– to repair and regenerate aging, uneven skin. Our Glycolic Peel Facial will exfoliate, treat sun damage & reduce hyperpigmentation. Learn more about our other facials and  make your appointment today and come to see us at our Brighton location!

 Women in their 50’s are very active and spend time taking care of themselves now. Kids are grown and most women toss the minivan and get a car they always wanted. Taking care of the skin is essential in order to make the skin look radiant to match the confidence women in their 50’s have.
