Hi all, I had my first follow-up visit with my doctor yesterday since being diagnosed with diabetes. It went very well!! I have been working hard at keeping my blood sugar levels balanced and have succeeded 85% of the time within a 7 week period!! And have lost a total of 40 pounds, so far since the first of the year. I am well on my way.
Being on medication my skin is now very sensitive to the sun. I went to an awesome baptism/bbq this past Sunday, and though it was way to hot for me, the fellowship was fantastic! Knowing I would be exposed to the sun, even for a short time, I made sure to wear our SPF 30+ Sheer Moisturizer. Anyone who knows me knows how fair I am and I didn’t get even pink! This stuff works like a gem.
Our SPF 30+ Sheer Moisturizer is “broad spectrum” sun protection. What that means is: this bonding base formula interlocks with skin completely blocking out UVA and UVB sun rays. UVA are the rays that age us and UVB are the rays that burn us. It feels weightless and allows skin to breathe; it is also oil free, paba free and fragrance free. It is suitable for all skin types.
Now through the end of August our SPF 30+ sheer moisturizer is 20% off. If you mention this blog we will give you an extra 10% off!! So stay safe by using sun protection.
Give us a call to let us know when you want to come in to get your sun screen or are looking for more information on sun protection …. 425-6511.

NEW JOURNEY
Skin Indulgence has been through allot of changes in the past couple of years, some good and some not so good. Changes that have affected the shop professionally and changes that have affected me (Karen/owner) on a personal level. And the economy has put its two cents in also, if you will.
I want to take a few minutes of your time to share a new journey I am on in hopes that you will join me while I travel this path. There are sure to be some laughs (how can there not be with me), a few bumps, even some tears but guaranteed a whole lot of new things to learn!
A couple months ago I learned that I have type 2 diabetes. Now before you go into your “poor thing” or “that’s too bad” mode, know that it really isn’t all that bad; at least not on most days. Seeing we caught it in the early stages, I don’t have to have insulin shots, praise the Lord for that. But I am on medication 3 times a day and have to test my blood two times a day (And that wasn’t so fun in the beginning or sometimes even now, seeing I have quite the fear of needles; a posting for another day).
With all the new things going on in my body and new medication, my skin is on over drive as well as my hair, nails, the way my make wears, not to mention my emotions. As a Christian woman with a personal relationship with Christ, I know He has my back on this! Despite the gloomy out look, that some have, I believe new doors are opening in many areas of my life, thus a new journey! I want to share the ups and downs of this new adventure and all the things I am learning through my personal experiences with skin care, make-up, hair care and even tips on food and exercise along with the emotional side of things in hopes that you will be blessed and learn something for yourself or someone else you know that my be dealing with these or similar issues. Please feel free to leave comments, questions or ideas and check back every week or so for new postings!!
God has placed me in front of the mirror to be Face 2 Face with Beauty and has asked me “What is beauty?” So I ask you, what is beauty to you? As for me, it is many things and I’m just starting down the road to finding out what true beauty is…. Will you join me?

WE R BACK!
I know, I know.... we have been away from here far to long. Please except our heart felt apology for not keeping in touch and sharing all the great new things that have been going on at Skin Indulgence in the past couple of years. But we are here to say that WE R BACK!!
Let me catch you up to speed..... some of you may know that Laura is no longer with us. Her hubby got orders to relocate and she and her family have moved on; she has been missed greatly. Meanwhile we have another massage therapist with us, Cynthia. She has been a great addition to our little family and I think all of you will also enjoy getting to know her. We have also added two Estheticians, Manuela and Oana. Though they also do facials, they focus more on the medical end of skin care.
Skin Indulgence is proud to say that we have our own skin care line: 2C Creations. A line of products that I have worked very hard at developing to meet the needs of our clients without any harsh ingredients and all natural botanicals. We are getting ready to launch another addition to our skin care line..... Creative Solutions. A line of products with a higher percentage of active ingredients to fight harder to meet your skin care goals. It will launch the end of this month, Oct. 2011!!
And there is a new division being added to the studio! This is going to be something just for tweens, teens and young adults (ages 12 ~ 20). This is such a vital time of life during these ages and there are so many changes going on inside their bodies that can create allot of disturbance with their skin which can also effect their self-esteem. We have created programs that will help not only with their skin but also tricks and tips of healthy skin and body that they can carry with them for years to come. We will also address self-esteem issues so they see themselves in a healthy way. This new division will be launched right before the holidays this year! I will start blogging about the development of this new journey, the up's and down's and all the fun aspects and new things to look forward to........

That time of year, again
The big once a year Face and Body Trade Show was in town (San Jose) this weekend. It’s a weekend filled with enough education to put anyone in over-load mode and the exhibit hall is a candy store for any spa product junkie! We bought a few new items that we will be trying out to see if the results are up to our standards to pass on to you. Stay tuned for more information.
We attended class after class with pages and pages of notes on valuable information that we will be sharing with you in the future weeks to come.
The “new” buzz words, all over the show were Hyaluronic Acid and Peptides, two very important ingrediences for anti-aging skin treatments. When these ingrediences are mixed with the proper skin care products in active amounts, you can have outstanding results in younger looking skin. They deliver results because Hyaluronic Acid and Peptides are naturally found in the body so they work together at strengthen what you already have naturally.
We are proud to say that we have a great Peptide Line Smoothing Serum with Hyaluronic Acid in it that clients are raving about. More on that next week with a special you won’t want to miss…
