Redken Men’s FW2017 Versace recap

Redken Men’s FW2017 Versace recap, hair by Guido. This season, Redken Global Creative Director Guido capitalized on broody, sexy hair at Versace Men’s FW 2017 Show. “The look for Versace was urban, emo, and cultish. Overall a very dark, broody look, which we helped bring to life by using a veil of hair that covered the face, making it very sexy. I finished the style with Redken Shine Flash 02.” – Guido

Comparing Laser Therapy with Other Options

For those of us with skin care issues, looking in the mirror can be depressing. It doesn’t need to be, not with all the treatment options available to us. Whether it’s a lotion or surgery, lasers or microdermabrasion, there are plenty of options. It’s just a matter of determining what type of skincare you need and which options work on your type.

Your Skin Type Matters

It would be great if everyone had the same skin type and used the same skincare routines. Unfortunately, that isn’t how things work. Some people have pale skin while others have dark tones. Skin can be extremely dry or very oily. Why does it matter? Each skin treatment device operates differently. A device that uses light based energy can be dangerous when used on dark skin tones as that tone absorbs light. Cosmetic devices that heat skin can burn oily skin. Anyone with acne prone skin needs to verify the treatment won’t cause even more breakouts.

Laser Therapy

Laser treatments have come a long ways since they were first created. When they were first designed, they were painful and had risks of injuring people. That has changed. In recent years, the models have been designed to be safer and far less painful. When used in tandem with numbing cream, treatments are easily tolerable. Treatments with Aesthetic Machines are very effective on a variety of skin issues. Most of the results are immediate, though a few will continue improving over time. There are many types of cosmetic lasers to treat many types of skin issues.

NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer

Loving the NEW NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer. I alternate between 3 shades depending on how light or dark I want my makeup to look. From light to dark: Creme Brûlée Light 2.5, Custard Medium 1, and Macadamia Medium 1.5. The consistency of this concealer is super smooth and not chalky. Long lasting. Extremely easy to blend. Works on my sensitive skin. In fact, NARS foundations and concealers  in general have a very nice gentle to skin formulas and are one of my all time favorites.
