Winter Skincare Tips For Babies and Children

Laser Smooth Company_Winter Skincare Tips For Babies and Children-1

Dry winter weather can be especially distressing for newborn, toddler and juvenile skin. There are only so many lotions and potions appropriate for use on children, but while those “remedies” can address the symptoms they don’t often resolve the issue of itchy, chapped winter skin. Consider these three tips for keeping your young one’s winter skin replenished, refreshed and revived.

Use a Humidifier

These short frigid days and long icy nights require serious work on behalf of your heaters. Keeping your home at a comfortable temperature will sacrifice much of the ambient moisture. Replace it with a humidifier to ensure your home stays both warm and slightly balmy. Both yours and your children’s skin will thank you.

Moisturize Wisely

Apply lotion when your child is freshly bathed and still a bit wet. The remaining moisture on their skin will be trapped by the lotion, thus enhancing its moisturizing power. Always use a lotion for sensitive skin and gauge your child’s reaction before integrating it into your bath-time routine.

Make Water A Priority

Keep your kids hydrated from the inside and they’re less likely to fall victim to cold weather skin ailments. A healthy squirt of orange, lemon, or lime can make plain water more palatable to picky pallets.

The health of your skin is our concern. Adults,  if unwanted hair is damaging your self-confidence or causing anxiety, laser hair removal can help by revealing your healthy, luminous skin. Contact Laser Smooth Company to learn more about how we can effectively remove your unwanted hair.

3 Ingredients To Always Look For In Your Skincare Products

Laser Smooth Company_3 Ingredients To Always Look For In Your Skincare Products

We’re all about skin care, and as such, we’ve taken care to learn as much as we can about all the most popular skin care tonics, potions, and lotions. There is a huge percentage of common ingredients that you can find in your own pantry, however, many very important elements are really only available via these specialized skin treatments. If you are looking to sooth a specific skin condition, look for these active ingredients in your skincare routines:

For Aging Skin

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is particularly remarkable in the way it works as a free-radical fighter in the cell plasma membrane as well as in the watery interiors of the cell. ALA is one of the most powerful anti-aging, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatories available and can brighten, tighten and enliven tired, aging skin.

For Chronic Dry Skin

Polyenylphosphotidyl choline (PPC) is extraordinarily effective in relieving dry skin because humans moisturize our skin naturally with phospholipids, so when we apply an unsaturated phospholipid like PPC, the moisturizing action is even more effective than that of the natural phospholipids. PPC can dramatically improve the condition of dry skin including delicate eye and lip skin.

For Tired Skin

The effects of dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE) are visible almost immediately after use. And cumulative effects can be dramatic. DMAE reduces fine lines, quells puffiness and stimulates blood flow for a rosy healthy glow.

Skincare and hair care go hand in hand but if unwanted hair is damaging your self-confidence or causing anxiety, laser hair removal can help. Contact Laser Smooth Company to learn more about how we can effectively remove your unwanted hair.

Skincare Treatment Combos To Avoid

Heat_And_Lime_Juice_May_Cause_Rashes_01

For skincare fanatics like us, a working knowledge of what products work best with other products and what products to avoid mixing is crucial. Whether you’re caring for skin that’s recently undergone laser hair removal treatment or not, knowing these few pernicious combos can save you from unwanted breakouts, rashes or other ill effects.

Vitamin C and Benzoyl Peroxide

Though not a caustic combination, using these two products concurrently will effectively cancel them each out. Ingesting vitamin C is recommended by many dermatologists, but be aware that topical applications of benzoyl peroxide will oxidize the vitamin c, rendering them both useless.

Salicylic Acid and Glycolic Acid

Glycolic acid is an exfoliator while salicylic acid fights acne breakouts. When used together, they have the potential to create dry, sensitive patches of skin that can be painful and unsightly.

Retin-A and Toner

Another super dehydrating combination, Retin-A, and store-bought toners can create a drying effect that will leave your skin worse for wear. Toners can contain ingredients that purposefully dry skin, so avoid using them if Retin-A is part of your skincare routine.

3 Laser Hair Removal Success Stories

Laser Smooth Company_Laser Smooth Hair Removal Reviews on Google

Laser hair removal, like many other cosmetic procedures, has the power to completely change your life. When aspects of your physical appearance threaten your self-confidence, self-worth, and your ability to maintain an active lifestyle, laser hair removal may be just what you need for a boost of confidence and self-esteem. If you’re still on the fence about whether or not to schedule a laser hair removal treatment in 2018, let these success stories inspire you:

From Katie A. via Yelp: “…I’m being completely serious; the laser did not hurt!… It took less than 10 pulses on my armpit to be complete, and definitely less than 5 minutes…”

From Ashley E. via Yelp: “(Laser smooth) is the best at what (they do)!!! After months of going back and forth on whether or not this was something I wanted to do, I finally made the decision to give laser treatment a try for some unwanted hair and within just one treatment (I did a Groupon for 6) I noticed a HUGE difference! Usually, my hair grows within 2-3 days but after my first treatment, the hair has just now started to faintly come in after two weeks! Huge, huge improvement and I’m so happy!!”

From Tell It Like It Is K. via Yelp: “I was a little wary of laser hair removal, but it turns out to be the best decision I have ever made. I have fair skin and dark hair. My happy trail was so embarrassing, and my bikini line wasn’t much better. There is no hair on my stomach after only three treatments and the bikini area is no longer a bunch of razor burn mess because the hair isn’t coming back! If you are on the fence, do it. (Laser Smooth) is awesome and makes the process so easy.”

How Laser Hair Removal Compares To Traditional Methods of Hair Removal

Laser Smooth Company_Hair-removal_comparison_01

Laser hair removal is a relatively new method of hair removal when compared to methods like shaving and waxing. These methods have served folks for hundreds of years, and while effective in certain ways, there are ways in which laser hair removal is simply superior. Before making your laser, waxing, or threading appointment, consider these few ways in which laser hair removal is or is not preferable.

When your shaving habits involve a multitude of monthly razors, you may want to consider laser hair removal. While facial hair on male presenting folks typically bends to common trends and thus is best-handled with a razor, for excessive leg or underarm hair that results in an annual razor expense that is unacceptable, laser hair removal may be the option for you.

If your hair removal is more trend based, as eyebrow fashions tend to be, you’re better off relying on waxing treatments to ensure you can follow the next big trend as soon as it arrives. Other, less common facial hair removal such as the evening of a hairline is perfect for laser hair removal.

If your unwanted hair affects your life in negative ways, such as damaging your self-confidence or causing anxiety, laser hair removal has the potential to change your life. Contact Laser Smooth Company to learn more about how we can effectively remove your unwanted hair.

3 Self Care Tactics To Ease Holiday Stress

Laser Smooth Company_3 Self Care Tactics To Ease Holiday Stress

Holiday season self-care is arguably the most important self-care. This time of year can make anyone stressed out and even a bit depressed. With such limited daylight hours and brisk, frigid temps, the winter season can be a real downer for many.

3 Self-Care Tips for the Holidays

Consider these few self-care tactics to help ease you out of your cold weather, dark day, holiday funk.

Have a Dance Party for One

It can be hard to find time or motivation to engage in physical activity during winter months. Instead of attempting a frosty twilight jog, have a dance party for one. Crank up your favorite tunes, holiday-themed or otherwise and dance like your neighbors can’t see you. The physical activity will shake you out of your funk while sharpening your dance moves for NYE.

Practice Acts of Gratitude

Practice gratitude whenever you can. Call a friend or family member and let them know how much you appreciate them or make time to send handwritten thank-you notes for any gifts you may have received this holiday season. The act of gratitude is one that can be remarkably restorative when stress and moodiness get you down.

Get a Good Night’s Sleep

Don’t skip out on a good night’s sleep. Make a concerted effort to maximize sleep during these winter months. Lack of sleep can result in severe mood swings, and during these cold, dark months, those mood swings can quickly spiral out of control. Sleep well and you can be sure that at the very least you needn’t add “tired” to your list of holiday maladies.

Feel Good In Your Own Skin With Laser Hair Removal Services At Laser Smooth Company

3 Ways To Keep Your Hair Shiny And Supple This Winter

Laser Smooth Company_3 Ways To Keep Your Hair Shiny And Supple This Winter

Winter can be a difficult time to maintain perfectly supple hair, skin, and nails. Drying winds can leave not only your skin irritated and chapped, but they can also compromise the hydration and overall health of your hair, scalp, and nails. Try these three tips to maintain your hair health all through winter, no matter how low the temperatures drop or how stiff and bitter they become.

Increase Your Deep Conditioning

A typical conditioning regimen may not require weekly deep conditioning treatments but if you are experiencing dry, dull strands this season, amp up the moisture with increased deep conditioning treatments. Bonus tip — apply heat to your conditioned head before rinsing to amplify your conditioner’s effectiveness.

Wash and Rinse Hair with Cool Water

Winter begs for long hot showers, but those showers can take a toll on your skin and hair, robbing them of vital moisture. Instead, make sure your hair is clipped up during your hot showers so it can be washed and rinsed with cooler water.

Try a Hot Oil Treatment

A high-quality hot oil treatment can do the work of several disparate products; it can moisturize your scalp, it can seal ragged ends, and it can impart your hair with a dazzling shine. Attempt a hot oil treatment every month or so to repel cold weather effects.
