Transform Your Life: Say Goodbye to Negative Self-Talk

It was 3 years ago when I discovered Bob Goff’s story and let me tell you, his practice of letting go of something every single Saturday that doesn’t serve him (like sugar, negative people, even his JOB) shows extreme commitment and courage.

Effective Anti-Aging Treatments for Youthful Skin

The beauty industry is ever-evolving. Every day, new trends and treatments make their debut in an effort to help men and women find the fountain of youth. These famous skincare treatments focus on a variety of common aging concerns including fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, large pores, dark circles and dryness. So, here are the top 6 anti-aging treatments that your clients are looking for.

Hydra Infusion

The Hydrinfusion can restore the skin and leave your clients with a refreshed, youthful look in no time. During a treatment, hydrainfusion delivery system will extract dirt and dead skin cells to gently exfoliate the skin. After the exfoliation process, a customized combination of skin  serums will give your  face an immediate glow. Great in combination with customized facial.

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning works to eliminate “peach fuzz” and create a fresh, clean complexion. It removes old, dead skin cells, fine facial hair and light acne scars. To perform the treatment, your esthetician will gently feather a special stainless steel scalpel across your skin.  Dermaplaning is also a great option for pregnant or breastfeeding clients that are limited on certain chemical applications. Dermaplaining can be paired with different modalities depending on your skin needs and wants.

Microneedling

Microneedling can do wonders for the skin’s tone and texture while reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne scars and more. The treatment stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, leaving your clients with fresher, younger-looking skin. A popular combination in 2020 is pairing microneedling with Coolifting. With this combination you can expedite the healing and rejuvenation process.

Enzyme exfoliating peels

Enzyme exfoliating peels remove the top layer of skin revealing fresher, brighter skin. They can smooth away fine lines and wrinkles and reduce sun damage, hyperpigmentation, melasma and acne scars. For skin that is conditioned there is usually no downtime but depending on the intensity of the enzyme exfoliating peel,  mild and medium peels typically offer little to no downtime. I perform deep peels requiring downtime only on special occasions. Those who opt for those treatments are always aware of the time needed for healing.

Microcurrent

This too good to be true innovation involves using low grade electrical current to train your facial muscles to appear more lifted, tightened, and firm. In fact, its name is the “non invasive facelift.”

Not it will only contour and lift your facial muscle, but this treatment will deeply hydrate your skin in addition to heal your skin by supplying the ATP energy to the cells that are responsible for rejuvenation. For the best results you should consider doing a series of 6 treatments, and 3 of those should incorporate the Coolifting. The combo of those two will give you results that you have never imagined you could have.

Coolifting

This revolutionary treatment has changed many of my clients skins. It is a super simple, quick 4 minute hi-tech process of infusing hyaluronic acid via CO2 into your skin, filling up those fine lines and wrinkles. CO2 stimulated the collagen fibers from the inside for the ultimate tightening and lifting effect. Treatment is only 4 minutes long and it is always done in combination with the facial or micro needling for its even more intensified results.

If you are looking for a custom corrective holistic treatments (that will target your specific needs and wants) or products that will make a true change on your skin, then you came to the right place. Spalina Inc and Spela Skincare is the place where true skin transformation happen.

Watch Out for These Signs of Perimenopausal Skin

What is perimenopausal skin?

Perimenopausal skin often feels inflamed, blotchy, and imbalanced—like it’s just not behaving the way it used to.

Human stem cells, growth factors & cytokines – for complete skin rejuvenation

Lipids and fatty acids – essential for barrier repair and hydration
Fruit enzymes and natural acids – to gently exfoliate without compromising the skin barrier

Guide to Summer Skincare

Prolonged sun exposure and heat can lead to dryness and skin damage such as sunburn, premature aging, and even skin cancer. 

While it’s important to have a good, solid skincare routine year-round, making a few skincare changes when transitioning from one season to another is advisable. 

To help make things easier for you, below is Spalina’s guide to summer skincare

Wear sunscreen with SPF

I hope by now you already know not to leave out your sunscreen. Did you know that there are 3 types of rays that are dangerous to the skin? 

  • UVB has a shorter wavelength and penetrates the outermost layers of the skin, causing sunburn. 
  • UVA has longer wavelengths and is considered the most dangerous because it is proven to cause skin cancer. UVA, while less intense than UVB, can penetrate windows and also penetrates the skin more deeply resulting in premature aging and skin cancer. 
  • Infrared rays consist of wavelengths that create heat, resulting in raised skin temperature. These rays can also penetrate clouds, glass, and even clothing causing wrinkles and photoaging. 

This is why a broad-spectrum sunscreen is recommended. Spalina Skincare carries 2 types of broad-spectrum mineral sunscreens: Hydrating Mineral Zinc Oxide SPF 40 which provides luxury protection sans the white residue, and Mineral Tinted SPF 40 which hits two birds with one stone, giving you a gorgeous sun-protected glow.

Most people usually don’t know how much sunscreen should be applied, and if you’re in the same boat, here’s a tip: you should be using about 2 milligrams of sunscreen per square cm of skin, which (if you’re bad at math like I am) is equal to a shot glass or two tablespoons of sunscreen, making sure that you’re applying about a nickel-size on the face. 

Also, always remember that you need to reapply sunscreen every 2 hours. 

Wear minimal makeup

Imagine having a full face of makeup on a hot and humid day… Yeah, it doesn’t sound pretty at all. 

For summer, it’s best to go minimal when it comes to makeup. Caking it on is just asking for disaster. 

Opt for a tinted sunscreen if you really can’t go out without makeup. And while we’re on the subject of all-in-one beauty products, choose a lip, cheek, and eyelid tint that will last long and not melt off your face. 

And if you want to add just a teeny bit more, go with sweat-proof and/or water-resistant makeup to avoid turning into a cakey, smeary mess. 

Finish off with a good quality setting spray, and you’re good to go. 

Go light with your skincare routine

Aside from sunscreen, a few skincare changes for the warmer season would benefit your skin. Put away the heavy creams for now and opt for more lightweight skincare products. 

Licensed esthetician, Spela Hernandez, recommends the following product for summer: 

  • Complex Vitamin C to protect your skin from free radicals. It has colloidal gold properties which are great for preventing and treating sun-damaged skin. 
  • Peptide Firming Glow to boost the hydration and keep the firmness of your skin. 
  • Weightless Probiotic Defense Cream a lightweight, oil-free, and nourishing moisturizing cream perfect for the summer season. 

Wear “breathable” fabrics

Of course, during the summer season, we’re all about wearing as little clothing as possible, but it’s not enough that you’re wearing just a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. 

Make sure that you’re wearing clothes made of “breathable” fabrics such as cotton and linen which are both great in the summer.

These types of fabrics also help reduce sweat. While sweat is good, it can also be not so good for the skin especially if you don’t change or shower after sweating in your clothes as this can lead to skin problems such as acne and irritation. 

Keep hydrated

Trust me, dehydration is not a good look. It can cause headaches, mood swings, and even premature wrinkles. 

Keeping hydrated by drinking the recommended daily water intake also helps regulate your body temperature and acts as a natural diuretic. 

So go on, buy that cute, trendy water tumbler if it’s going to help remind you to drink your water. 

Do you have other recommendations on how to keep your skin hydrated this summer? Drop them in the comments below.

Natural Way of Treating Arthritis in Dogs

Most likely we take joint pains as a normal occurrence that may show once a person ages. Aside from the people around us whom we love dearly we have additional members of the family like our pets.  Most of us choose to have a dog which we consider as a man’s best friend.  But do you know that dogs suffer from joint pains, too? So, how do you cure arthritis in dogs the natural way?

Dogs are caring and sensitive animals but they can’t convey any discomforts the way humans do. As pet owners you need to be sensitive with the changes in your dog’s behaviour and eating habits.  Dogs need to have a good eating habit like humans in order for them to live healthily. They have a lifestyle too. Most of the time a pet owner’s way of living can be adapted by their pet.  So if you are a couch potato, your dog has the tendency to be one too.

Lonely Dog 2

Commonly dogs suffer from joint problems caused by an accident, arthritis or genetics. Dogs with joint problems need proper caring since they are generally active. They jump, they roll and they play. Accidents can be one cause of a limp leg or a broken hip. If this happens you need to have your dog checked by a veterinarian to get an expert advice.  You may also check books that can help you be more knowledgeable about this kind of sickness.  If the illness is genetic, then extra care is required.

Though your dogs have suffered an injury do not prevent him from exercising. Either it was developed through an accident or genetically acquired; exercise will ease the tension in his leg or hip. But do not overdo it as we don’t want them to be in trauma. Jumping is not allowed. You may also give your little buddy a gentle massage to ease the pain. Massage will help their muscles to relax.  You can also pamper your dog with a cold compress and it will surely make him feel better.

Never give your dog human medication just to ease the pain. Human medicines are for humans and they can harm your best friend.  Also make sure to watch his diet. An overweight canine has the tendency to get lazy. This will not help cure your dog’s joint pain due to arthritis rather it might result to complications.  You also have to be aware that such illness can’t be cured overnight. Some dogs even suffer from it all their lives. But with all non-medicinal alternatives plus proper care, you and your buddy can still enjoy life together which is much more important. There are several arthritis remedies for dogs that you can do at home to help ease the pain. As pets begin to age, it is inevitable that they suffer a certain degree of arthritis that will slow them down. Keep in mind, too, that all breeds and sizes are susceptible to arthritis in dogs.

The Best Ways to Give Better Care and Treatment to your Cats with Arthritis

When was the last time that you have played with your cats? It might not be happening soon if they’re suffering from arthritis. Arthritis is not only experienced by humans but also by animals including cats and dogs. The pain might be manageable over a period of days or weeks but over time, severe breakage of the cartilages may pose temporary or permanent impairment. Prevent the worst cases of arthritis cats from happening using simple home and veterinary methods. Remember that cats are one of the smartest and quickest domestic animals but they are also among the most sensitive pets.

Cats may have arthritis without showing any signs. Physically, they may appear all just fine and healthy but the pain might be starting to get worse over time. The earliest signs that your cats are arthritic can be observed through their behaviour. If you want to determine if your cat does have arthritis, carefully study his or her behaviour. Arthritic cats are normally restless and sensitive. They sometimes prefer to sleep the entire day than play with you.  You can’t get near them easily as they may consider you as a threat. They also eat less and they are too lazy to groom themselves. They don’t climb the stairs or walls actively like before and can no longer go to where they should pee or poop. When you notice these symptoms in your cats, then they might be suffering the arthritis attacks.

cat1It would be easy for them to recover from pain if you bring them to a good vet. Veterinarians can perfectly pinpoint the affected areas using their medical tools and the results shown by the X-rays. They can also determine your cat’s arthritis condition through the blood samples or through the fluid extracted from the cartilages. Make sure that your veterinarian is someone that is certified and known to perform animal examinations in your area or else you will just be wasting your time and cash. Examinations and consultations may require minimal fees but they aren’t as expensive as you think. There are also health cards you can grab for your cat’s annual examination. Some clinics would even give free consultations after you have acquired their entire service.

Helping your cat deal with arthritis would be the next step after you have identified the problem and have provided the right medication. The task may become more difficult with the behavioural changes. To alleviate the pain brought about by arthritis cats, avoid disturbing your pet in any way possible. Restrict kids from carrying or playing with the cats. Give only the healthy foods they need along with the right dosage of medicines if required. If you are worried of your pets while you are away, assign someone to look over them during your absence. Don’t leave them totally alone. For their hygiene, choose litter boxes that are large and easy to climb. Place these boxes in areas where your pets can easily locate. Use a pet ramp or stair steps if needed.
