To achieve smooth and radiant skin this summer, here are some helpful tips to ensure the best results:

  • Exfoliate before your waxing session: Using an exfoliator before coming in for your appointment helps to remove dead skin cells, allowing for a more effective waxing experience. Consider using our Bath Mitt for an easy and efficient exfoliation routine. Our luxurious bath mitt cleans, exfoliates and massages your skin. It can be used wet or dry. Naturally antifungal and antibacterial, it dries quickly and is great for traveling.

April Is Here!

As we move into the month of April, it’s time to start thinking about adjusting our skincare routines as we come out of winter, and as we slowly ease into spring here in Boston, don’t forget about your skin! Choose products that are gentle and non-irritating, especially if you have allergies. 

If you have any specific concerns, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation with us today!

April is Rosacea awareness month.

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that affects the face and can cause redness, flushing, bumps, and visible blood vessels. While there is no cure for rosacea, there are several tips that can help manage the symptoms and reduce flare-ups.

Rosacea Skin condition
Rosacea

Here are some tips on how to manage your rosacea:

  • Identify your triggers: Common triggers include sun exposure, stress, spicy foods, alcohol, and hot drinks. 
  • Protect your skin: We all know it is sunny in Boston during the springtime. Protect your skin from the sun by wearing a hat and using broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. 
  • Use gentle skincare products: Use skincare products that are specifically formulated for sensitive skin. We would recommend Anti-Stress CBD Drops – calm, soothe and adapt with 1000mg full-spectrum CBD and a therapeutic adaptogen complex. 
  • Manage stress:  Try relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga, to help reduce stress. 
  • Maintain a healthy lifestyle:  Eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and get enough sleep to help reduce stress and improve overall health.

The Hydra Bright AHA Glow Mask is a nourishing and brightening that can help you achieve the ultimate complexion glow-up. It’s powered by vegan lactic acid, which helps even out skin tone and boost brightness.

Make sure to look out for high-tech protection, full skin coverage, and as much breathability as you can.

Gua what? Gua sha!

It feels like summer is just around the corner here in Boston MA, finally! Our team at Skin Studio is so thankful to our loyal clients for supporting us during some of the craziest times we’ve ever had! During these months, we had some extra time on our hands… So we created a new and exciting beauty tool for us to use in the studio and for you to use as a part of your facials at home 😊 Have you heard of Gua Sha??? (Pronounced ‘gwahshah.’) – If yes, great you’re in the know! Because if not, let us tell you a bit about it…

Gua sha tool made out of amethyst & Skin Studio Boston logo on top of it

The term ‘Gua Sha’ comes from the Chinese word ‘gua,’ which means ‘to scrape’ and ‘sha,’ which means ‘sand’. Thus, we will be massaging (or scraping) our skin with light to medium pressure using both long and short strokes to stimulate microcirculation.

By using our new tool you will be enhancing your beauty & self-care rituals with an ancient Chinese massage and healing technique.

The practice of Gua Sha has been proven to:

  • relieve facial tension,
  • reduce puffiness,
  • enhance skin elasticity,
  • boost blood circulation,
  • promote lymphatic drainage,
  • provide both lifting & firming effects.
Amethyst Gua Sha tool with Skin Studio Boston logo & Phyto-Active Oil Drops by Glo

We designed our new tool using our favorite purple-colored crystal, amethyst. Amethyst is known to have a number of natural healing properties concerning physical, spiritual & emotional health. Moreover, this beautiful crystal is thought to promote stress relief, calmness and boost cell regeneration. In other words, it’s the perfect choice of crystal to create our Gua Sha tool with so we can give you the best facial in Boston that you deserve! 

Therefore, with all of that being said – Let’s Gua Sha our faces!!

Our Skin Studio Boston ‘Signature Facial’ includes this rejuvenating massage technique, giving your skin & soul that extra boost of self-care we’re all craving after this crazy past year.

We can’t wait to see you in the studio, come for a facial in Boston!

The best spring take – home facial kits are here.

Spring is here in Boston and so are our Facial-To-Go Kits

This spring, take time to enjoy the sights and smells of the Boston area. Take a moment every day to appreciate just one thing you would normally overlook. 
Let’s practice some self-care! Self-care can come in many forms, such as a ride on the Swan Boats at the Boston Public Garden, getting a signature facial from your favorite esthetician at Skin Studio, or taking a historical walk along the Constitution Trail.
The Skin Studio is looking forward to a great spring season filled with renewed skin and happy clients.
Don’t forget you can schedule your next appointment at your convenience with our online scheduler here or through our app.

Spring is on its way!

SPRING HAS SRPUNG

Springtime at the Skin Studio means Boston’s best spring facials, botox, and skin treatments are here!

It’s FINALLY Spring in Boston! Do you know what that means? Spring brings new beginnings, and at the Skin Studio, it means it’s time for the best exfoliating spring facial treatments, blackhead extractions, relaxing facial massages, and of course, a little spring cleaning!
While we are getting ready for warmer weather, let’s freshen up and rejuvenate with a renewing spring facial from the Skin Studio Boston. We will help you shed that dull winter layer and reveal that fresh new glowing skin.

New Product Spotlight: Hydra-Bright AHA Hydrator as part of your spring facial

The Skin Studio is so excited that Glo Skin Beauty has added the Hydra-Bright AHA Hydrator moisturizer to their lineup!
We have all heard that Vitamin C is good for us but did you know that it can restore your skin? Hydra-Bright AHA is infused with Vitamin C, protects from environmental elements, and features lactic acid for gentle exfoliation. The results are smoother skin with fewer fine lines and wrinkles. This moisturizer is lightweight and melts into your skin, bringing you radiant results. You can find Hydra-Bright AHA moisturizer here, along with other fabulous products from Glo Beauty.
Hydra-Bright AHA Hydrator is a Skin Studio FAV!!

Doctor’s Corner: Fillers and how they work?

With all of the cosmetic options that are out there, we know it can be complicated. One question you might have is “What are fillers, and what can they do for me?”
Fillers are injectable solutions that contain hyaluronic acid, which is found naturally in your skin. They are used to treat facial lines and creases to ward off signs of aging. These fillers have the ability to store moisture and are responsible for giving skin a plump and hydrated look.
For more info on fillers or other cosmetic services provided by Dr. Stavitsky, be sure to check out our website, book online or give us a call today for the Dr.’s availability.

Spring Cleaning: Have products in your stash that are over 2 years old?

The truth is we’ve all been there. We refuse to throw away that one bottle of lotion that you love because there is a little left in the bottle. Need some reasons to throw it out? Keep reading! Spring cleaning your beauty supplies is as important as spring cleaning your house! A new season means new skin concerns. The Moisturizer and lotion that you use in the winter are not necessary for spring. Spring welcomes lighter, water-based creams.  Remember, your fingers carry many bacteria, so dipping into a container provides a breeding ground for bacteria. And you don’t want that near your eyes! Check the shelf life of anything you’re putting on your skin. Of course, don’t forget that loofah or facial sponges breed bacteria! YUCK! Toss them out and buy new! Check out our eco-friendly Body Bath Mitt. It is a luxurious mitt that cleans, exfoliates, and massages your skin. We also offer a Spa Cell facial sponge that is naturally antifungal antibacterial, and it dries quickly.

Service Spotlight: Ultrasonic Facial And What It Can Do For You

The Skin Studio offers an Ultrasonic Facial that utilizes cutting-edge technology!
While it relieves dehydration and reduces fine lines, it also promotes healthy skin elasticity and tone.
Our ultrasonic device uses low-frequency sound waves to emit vibrations, which help to flush out and rid your pores of dirt and debris. This device is also used to help the products that we use penetrate deeper into the skin.
The Ultrasonic Facial is gentle enough for rosacea and acne-prone skin.
Be sure to watch the video (the video was recorded before Covid) of the Ultrasonic Facial HERE!

Thank You!!

This was not the regular Memorial Day weekend in Boston, MA we are used to, but we hope you took some time to relax to enjoy this long weekend with your families and love ones.

We want to take this time to THANK YOU very much for all of your support during this very uncertain and strange time. It’s been … days that Skin Studio in Brighton, MA has been closed.  It hasn’t been easy, we all have good days and bad days, being a small business in these challenging times just not knowing how long it’s gonna last and what is next.  We love your positive vibes, you all rock, and have been what’s keeping us going!!! We miss humans touch, hugs, and massaging your faces! It’s all been so strange so not have it! We appreciate it so much more now.    

Once we open our Skin Studio things will be a bit different, it will take us and you some time adjusting to a new normal. Our hours most likely will change, we’ll figure out our schedule just be patient with us please.  We’ll keep you updated on our opening day and procedures. 

Our facial and waxing services menu had a little adjustment. 

If you had a series, new prices will go in effect once your package is finished.

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!

Can lemons help digestion and skin?

lemons help digestion and skinDo you have digestion woes? Heartburn, constipation, gas, or bloating?

Contrary to what you may think, this could actually be from low, not high, stomach acid resulting in difficulty digesting your food. Most importantly, the undigested food causes gas to build and put pressure on the valve between the stomach and the esophagus (the tube that food goes down). As a result, as the gas builds it pushes open the valve and now you’ve got acid where it shouldn’t be, in the esophagus, which causes heartburn. A half of lemon (as long as you can tolerate that) in warm water first thing in the morning may be a simple remedy to get the digestive juices flowing and skin glowing.

Lemons in water benefits:

First, it increases acid in the stomach to break down food and decrease indigestion, gas and bloating.

It also cleanses and stimulates the liver and helps thin the bile, which is great for constipation. Your liver does a lot of detoxing during the night so first thing in the morning is the best time to move these toxins down and out. The warm water with the lemon juice helps to gently detox your body each and every day. Amazingly simple and effective. Read more about “What is causing my heartburn? ” on my blog, www.annelemonswellness.com.

Builds immunity. Lemons are high in Vitamin C which helps to keep you from getting sick.

Glowing Skin – High vitamin C in lemons helps support collagen and glowing skin.
