It's Hard to Say Goodbye!

 By: Ani Berberian, GLG Aesthetic Specialist

We’re Back! We have been a bit “ Missing in Action” from blogging, but we promise we’re back with all fresh topics. Especially with the holidays coming up- beauty is key.

What other way to start the holidays off then by doing some beauty care clearance, and getting rid of expired beauty and skin care products that are reserved in the back of your cabinet. Everything from mascara to cleansers should be reviewed and cleared out before you get yourself up to the nearest cosmetic counter and splurge.

Guidelines for makeup*:

Mascara3 – 6 months (* very important in order to protect yourself from any bacterial infections if the mascara becomes funky looking)

Eye Liner: 3 months for any liquid or gel liner, and up to two years for pencil liners

Lip Liner: 2-3 years

Eye Shadow: 6 months to 2 years

Foundations: 6 to 12 months

Concealer: 6 to 12 months

Powder: 6 months to 2 years

GLG RECOMMENDS *to minimize any bacteria transferring from your face to your powder with a powder brush, always make sure you wash powder brushes with an antibacterial brush cleanser: http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P208010

Now that were done with cleaning out your Makeup Bag

Lets get to the good stuff- SKINCARE

Cleanser: 1 year because active ingredients such as glycolic acid and retinols might become more powerful if stored for a long period of time, which can eventually cause an allergic reaction.

Serums: 6  to 12 months

Moisturizer: 1 year

*Moisturizers in tubes last the longest:

GLG Favorite: SKIN MEDICA ULTRA SHEER MOSTURIZER (Retail Value: $50) http://www.skinmedica.com/skin-care-products/moisturize/ultra-sheer-moisturizer

Sunscreen: 1 year

Acne Treatments: 2 years

*Always remember: no matter what skincare or cosmetic product it is, any change in smell and texture is a bad sign- toss it out immediately!

GLG loves to do skincare evaluations in order to have you using the best and most compatible product out there for you!

The Rejuvenize Peel: A Gift from Peel Heaven

When most people hear the words “chemical peel” they want to take a run for their lives. But seriously, it’s not THAT bad. The Rejuvenize Peel by SkinMedica is the safest and least excruciating way to healthier skin. Why? Because it is a medical grade peel. In fact, SkinMedica products are scientifically proven as a solution for healthier skin. A lot of people are deathly worried about how their skin will look after a peel, but the Rejuvenize Peel has built in anti-irritant and penetration enhancer that provides controlled exfoliation of the uppermost damaged layers of the skin to reveal fresh, healthier skin. The amazing thing about this strong peel is that you will achieve noticeable improvement after one peel and the downtime only includes “frosting” and just a little bit of redness immediately after the procedure.

Summon up the courage and get a Rejuvenize Peel, your skin will thank you. Now is the perfect time to do it before warm weathers start to kick in. Book your appointment now with Glendale Laser Group.
