Take the Stress Out of Looking FABULOUS

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

We all want to look our best, but sometimes the time involved makes us want to throw our hands up in disgust.

Several new – or simply improved or repurposed - products can help us look our absolute best with less time, hassle and stress than doing the same-old, same-old.

Hectic mornings are tough enough without having to fight with the mascara wand. And if you blink or sneeze, you’ll be starting all over again (or spending the day with raccoon eyes). Fake eyelashes have their place, but what about a solution you can sleep, shower or swim in and still be batting long, perfect eyelashes? Look no farther than Head to Toe by Arlene, where Robin Fujimoto provides individual lash extensions that feel like your own lashes.

Dazzling lashes should complement your perfect skin, and exposure to summer sun and other factors that create pigment irregularities send women running to the latest bleaching procedure. While products that lighten age spots have been on the market for years, harsh chemicals, peel procedures and similar treatments can leave your skin feeling raw and your wallet feeling empty.  Head to Toe by Arlene recommends gold – the new standard in skin lightening treatment.  A 14-carat gold collagen mask treatment lifts or lightens the pigment and  leaves skin feeling wonderful and visibly improved, making you look younger and more vibrant.

For an even more youthful glow, reverse the clock by adding collagen to your skin care regimen. Clayton Shagal’s line of products utilize only the purest form of collagen that can be commercially produced. Rather than injecting it into the skin through invasive procedures or introducing it to just the top layer of skin where it doesn’t provide the treatment necessary to correct damage, the Clayton Shagal products introduce collagen through the deepest layers of the skin, to provide a noticeable diminishing in lines and wrinkles, scars and stretchmarks, and to visibly tighten skin after the first application. Clayton Shagal’s amazing products – including Collagen Elastin and Hyprocel Gel - are available at Head to Toe by Arlene.

The Fountain of Youth is in Marietta – with long, lustrous lashes and plump, perfect skin – and it’s as simple as visiting Head to Toe by Arlene. Call today and start looking younger tomorrow!

Red, White & Blue of Summer Skin

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

With the 4th of July just around the corner, we’ve all got Red, White & Blue on the brain, preparing for our favorite summer holiday.

While Red, White & Blue are fantastic for fireworks, flags and even foods (depending on which ones!), these colors are particularly problematic when it comes to skin care.

Red can mean anything from sunburn to rashes, bug bites or rosacea, and the key to controlling each of these is limiting exposure to the things that cause them. Sunburn is easily controlled by limiting peak-hour exposure to the sun, wearing appropriate clothing and applying sunscreen.

“I recommend B. Kamins unscented sunscreen 30,” says Arlene Manning of Head to Toe by Arlene. “Unscented is very important for preventing rosacea irritation.” It also helps avoid the possibility of allergic reactions and rashes, and attraction of bugs that can sting.

Clarisonic Skin Brush also has been shown safe and gentle enough for people with rosacea in cleaning the skin and alleviating redness. B. Kamins also carries a non-prescription medicated cover that helps to eliminate the appearance of rosacea.

Hypopigmentation is a loss of pigment in areas of the skin, often caused by skin infections, blisters, burns or other trauma to your skin, causing areas of the skin to appear white. Exposure to the sun can cause this condition as well.

“Image has a tinted sunscreen moisturizer that is organic that can be worn over the affected areas while the body regenerates the pigment,” Arlene says.

 Blue tones down red. There are camouflage products with blue to reduce the appearance of redness, Arlene says. Makeup by Arlene has a blue-toned camouflage product that can help when you’ve experienced too much sun or have a rosacea flare-up.

So enjoy the holiday without fear of wearing the patriotic colors too close to home on your skin, by following these simple tips, guidelines and product recommendations from Head to Toe by Arlene.

Treat yourself to a relaxing spa treatment, bikini wax or rosacea facial and enjoy your summer to the utmost. Call 770-973-7270 today  for an appointment.

College-Bound with Great Skin

Monday, May 10th, 2010

Graduation is upon us and it’s likely that parents are unable to believe how their little angels have suddenly blossomed into full-grown, college-bound young women.

Their flip-flop-wearing, ponytail-sporting daughters will soon be gracing college campuses around the country, and will need the glowing skin that speaks “college-age adult” instead of “high-school teen.”

The habits that start in college are likely to stay with them their entire lives, so it’s best to instill great grooming habits now – waxing, facials, spa treatments and hair removal, along with the products that they can take with them back to school.

The Clarisonic Mia is a perfect gift for daughters, granddaughters – any young lady who is getting ready to start the next phase of her life in a confident, glowing way.

Call Arlene today to book an appointment to get your daughter started looking fabulous, and to purchase your Clarisonic Mia that makes a great wrapped gift – 770-973-7270.

Head to Toe by Arlene – the best gift you can give your grad this spring!

The ABCs of Waxing

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

Avoid the irritation of shaving.  When you use a razor, it cuts hairs off at the surface of the skin, leaving the hair follicles the opportunity to begin growing immediately. This creates little bumps and redness that are not only unattractive but irritating to the skin.

Brazilian bikinis. The Brazilian bikini has become extremely popular in the last 10 years with appearances in “Sex In the City” and other pop culture media. Look your best in this style with a quality, professional wax treatment.

Cleaner look. Getting to the follicle of the hair is key to the longevity of your smooth look. Waxing allows for removal of the hair deep into the follicle, so re-growth is slower and softer.

Delay of growth. Again, treatment from the follicle delays growth, so you can enjoy your smooth look for a longer period of time.

Easier maintenance. Messy razors, soaps and depilatories are a thing of the past when you discover the ease and affordability of waxing.

Freedom from ingrown hairs. Tend Skin®, along with waxing eliminates ingrown hairs.

Great sex appeal! If you feel sexy, you will be more attractive. Waxing allows you to feel cleaner, smoother and more comfortable in your own skin!

Hairless!   Enough said!

Independence from razors! Razors are costly, messy and can result in nicks and infections. Waxing at Head to Toe by Arlene is completely sanitary!
