Shower Tips for Ultimate Beauty

Taking a shower seems like a no-brainer. After all, you've been doing it nearly your entire life. Believe it or not, you may not have been doing it in the best way possible all of these years! Lathering up and rinsing off is the main purpose of any shower, but if you follow these simple tips from Serenity Medical Spa from now on, you will begin noticing a big difference in your skin and hair.

Brush your hair.

The simple act of running a brush through your hair before you get into the shower will distribute the natural oils from your scalp throughout your hair, which helps to condition and balance it. Going into the shower with your hair already untangled will make it a little easier to comb afterwards and breakage will be less likely.

Keep it short.

The longer you are in the water, the dryer your skin can become. Ideally you should aim for about 10 minutes, but try your best to never go longer than 15 minutes.

Don't make it hot.

Hot water feels awesome on a cold day, but it can quickly dry out your skin. Cooler water has actually been discovered to have benefits, like improving circulation, boosting immunity, and even boosting your mood. Washing in warm water and then finishing with a cold rinse can even make your skin and hair softer and shinier.

Wash your face last.

You shouldn't just start at the top and work your way down, or vice versa. Begin by shampooing your hair. Next, pull your hair back like you are making a ponytail and only condition the lower half of it. Rinse that out well, then proceed to wash your body with a moisturizing soap or body wash. If necessary, exfoliate your legs before shaving them next. Save washing your face for the very last. The steam from the shower will open your pores for a cleaner wash, plus all of the conditioner, which isn't great on your face, will be long gone.

Shave right.

The reason for shaving your legs toward the end of the shower is because the steam is not only great for you face, but it also softens the hairs on your legs, making them easier to tackle. This will help to avoid razor burn and ingrown hairs. Another great tip is to shave with body oil. It keeps your legs soft and it's also good for helping your razor to last longer. If you don't want to worry about this step at all, Serenity Medical Spa's professional waxing and sugaring services can take care of it for you!

Pat dry.

Be gentle with the skin that you are in and always pat yourself dry with a towel. Never rub.

Moisturize immediately.

If you are a lotion person, put it on right after you dry off. Another option is to apply body oils while you are still in the shower. This locks the moisture in your skin, where you want it to stay.

There you have it. Nothing on this list is difficult to do. You just need to retrain your brain until it becomes your natural routine. The best medical spa at the Lake of the Ozarks offers lots of products that can be used during your shower, after it, and on a daily basis to help you achieve the healthiest and most beautiful skin possible. We would love to sit down with you the next time that you visit Serenity Medical Spa and talk to you about all of your options.

Get Longer, Thicker Eyelashes

One very visible feature that brings out a woman's beauty is the eyes. Long, thick eyelashes can frame them in a gorgeous way to accentuate that beauty. The best medical spa at the Lake of the Ozarks offers a couple of different ways for you to add length and thickness to your own lashes. NovaLash® Eyelash Extensions and Latisse® are two options that we feature at Serenity Medical Spa.

NovaLash®

These eyelash extensions are a wonderful way to enhance your own eyelashes in a glamorous way. This is a very lovely and convenient alternative to having to apply mascara every day. A synthetic lash is bonded to a single natural lash, and there is no need to remove them nightly. You will want to visit Serenity Medical Spa for a touch up about every four weeks and condition the lashes nightly. Your own eyelashes will still grow and thrive.

Latisse®

This is an FDA-approved treatment for growing eyelashes. People that have inadequate or not enough lashes are the perfect candidates for Latisse®. It is a solution that works gradually to give you the great lashes that you desire. You will see results over the course of the treatments, and most people can expect to see full results around 16 weeks. After that, Serenity Medical Spa's physician, Dr. Debra Atkinson, will talk to you about continuing use. As with any solution of this type, side effects are possible, and Dr. Atkinson will discuss them thoroughly with you before you decide if this is right for you.

Right now is an excellent time to give Latisse® a try. Our medical spa at the Lake of the Ozarks is offering it for Buy-1-Get-1-FREE through February 29, 2016. Call 573-365-5002 to make your appointment.

If you have a special occasion coming up soon, or if you are simply ready to have longer, thicker lashes on a daily basis, let Serenity Medical Spa help you with that. We will discuss your options and together figure out exactly what service is the best choice for you.

How to Take Good Care of Your Hands

Your hands are probably the most used part of your body. They spend most of their time completely exposed to the elements and everything that you come into contact with. The best medical spa at the Lake of the Ozarks can help you to keep them in good condition, but there are many things you can do on a daily basis in between your visits to Serenity Medical Spa too.

Wash them gently.

Hands get washed multiple times every day. Keeping them clean is a good thing, but you should take care to avoid harsh soaps whenever possible. Every time you exfoliate your face, run a little over your hands too. Also, tepid water is much better to use than hot. Very hot water tends to dry out your skin very quickly, as well as overwashing. This next tip will help with the dryness.

Moisturize often.

Just as we have told you in the past about skin in general, keeping the skin on your hands moisturized at all times is extremely important, especially in the winter months. To help you out with this, keep hand moisturizer in different rooms so that you always have some nearby. At the very least, put some in each room with a sink so you will remember to use moisturizer after each hand washing. Buy moisturizers for your hands with SPF for protection from the sun's rays. The sun is out all year long, and your hands are exposed to it every time that you are outdoors or near a window.

Manicure your nails.

Our Lake of the Ozarks manicures include an effervescent hand soak and relaxing hand and arm massage, cuticle trimming and conditioning, and nail shaping and polishing. It's a very relaxing experience, and your hands look amazing when it's over. In between visits, it's up to you to keep your nails in great shape. Keep cuticles moisturized and clean. Healthy cuticles help to maintain healthy nails. Always file nails in one direction, and try not to cut them too short.

Wear gloves.

Cold winter wind is notorious for drying out your skin and causing it to crack. Wearing gloves when you are out in the cold weather will help to keep this from happening. You should also wear gloves when you use chemicals like household cleaners. These are horrible for your hands, and the simple act of wearing gloves while using them can avoid many skin problems.

Your hands are front and center every day. Keeping them healthy and looking their best will make you feel great and help them to look younger for a longer amount of time. If you have other problems with the skin on your hands, like age spots, warts, or scaly areas, our Lake of the Ozarks medical spa's Physician Service and Medical Skincare services can help you. Make an appointment to come in for a consultation so that we can discuss your options. Taking good care of your hands doesn't take a lot of extra time or effort. Serenity Medical Spa is here to help you in any way that we can.
