Don't Let the Cool Down Hang Your Skin Out to Dry

The best tricks of the trade to keep your skin smooth all winter long without old man winter drying you out!

Moisture VS Hydration

                          Moisturizing: Takes care or the outer (epidermal) layer of your 

                                             skin for smoothing and easily applicable makeup.

                          Hydration: Reflects having healthy skin through all the layers and 

                                           maintaining hydrated skin (dermal) from the inside out.

The award for the most common misunderstood  skin care term goes to... 

Exfoliate!

MISTAKE: Exfoliating methods are commonly thought of as a heavily textured products used to scratch dead skin away resulting in a smoother outer (epidermal) layer of skin.

TRUTH BE TOLD: Analysis of skin post scrub based elfoliants revealed more scratches in the dead skin layer rather than actually removing the skin.

ACCURATE: Exfoliating is most beneficial when an enzyme is used to eat away dead skin. This method is professionally recommended opposed to commercially pushed scrubs.

SPECIAL INGREDIENT: Look for either natural enzymes that exfoliate or AHA-Alpha Hydroxy Acid which is a chemical exfoliant. Either will strip the dead skin away in a non-abrasive manner. Lactic acid is another element to be aware of although it is recommended for professional use due to it's strength causing sensitivity to the sun. 

*Expert Opinion*

"Exfoliating with the correct products is the key to healthy skin"

Nicole Jeffrey's offers a quality Flash Foam Cleanser by Bio-Elements that both cleanses and exfoliates. Enhanced with the natural enzymes needed to create healthy hydrated skin. 

Your skin is the largest organ in your body and deserves your attention to keep it healthy and alive. 

Truth About Chap Stick 

 Keep your lips puckering all fall & winter long?

 Stop your lips from chapping and protect them throughout the entire season

Maintain:Exfoliating your lips is the key keeping them kissable. After brushing your teeth, use a separate new hard bristled tooth brush with a small dab of white tooth paste and massage on the lips as an exfoliator. Then rinse off and continue as needed. This technique removes dead skin cells and maintains smoothness.  

Treatment: If chapping does occur, vitamin E is the best treatment element. Using a vitamin E capsule, puncture the capsule open and rub a small dab of the vitamin E on your lips. (Extra Benefits: can be used around the bags of eyes and a small amount on eye lids if dryness is felt in the eyes) Limit use to an as needed basis due to high concentration. 

Protect: Chap stick is best used to protect lips from damage because most contain no curing agents. The vaseline consistency seals and prevents dryness to already soft lips. Applying chap stick to chapped lips only seals in and maintains chapped lips.

When diving into the statistics of this devastating disease that effects our 

loved ones and friends and we too are at risk, it becomes more evident

that we have a long way to go in this fight and still no one is giving up 

HOPE!

What are we fighting?

Relentless......In 2010, an estimated 207,090 new cases (1 in every 8 women) of invasive 

                                breast cancer were expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S., 

                                along with 54,010 new cases of non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer.

Unrelated......About 70-80% of breast cancers occur in women who have no 

                               family history of breast cancer. These occur due to genetic 

                               abnormalities that happen as a result of the aging process and life in 

                               general, rather than inherited mutations. (Risk is doubled if a mother,

                               sister or daughter has been diagnosed only because the gene 

                               mutation could be passed on by relation.)

Not Just a Girl Thing... Men too can suffer from breast cancer as estimated at 1,970

                                new cases in 2010.

HOPE for a World with More Birthday's

Survivors......In 2010 there were more than 2.5million survivor's in the U.S.

Strides..........The American Cancer Society not only dedicates it's funds to research for a

                            cure but it also educates and informs women of the steps to take for an

                            early detection for overall higher survivor rates year after year. 

We have a wonderful opportunity to help make strides and walk in the

 Akron 5K Walk Against Breast Cancer on 

October 16th starting at 10am. 

Join or contribute to the Nicole Jeffrey's Strides In Style Team

Back with a Bang! Fall Trends 2011

The season is changing and you might be in the mood for a new cut or color to compliment your new fall fashions. Fringe, lob, and curly bob are  just some of the terminologies being brushed up. Fashion forward hair is softening this season and becoming a more natural gentle look.

Whats a fringe? Fringe or as most of us call them, bangs, have taken a turn to the front from the long running side bang that has been pushed to the sidelines of trendy.

Zooey Deschanel has always been a fabulous fringe supporter.

Mary J Blige, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Mena Suvari 

are some of the celebs who are fashionably bring back the bowl cut bangs from the 70's.

This shaping rounds out the face and is very complementing.

Hair styles such as the Lob (long bob) are popular this fall. 

 Who wouldn't want to look like the stunning Jennifer Aniston?

Beautiful for it's clean look and perfect length for the chilly weather.

 The curly bob with is a styling option for long bob wearers, and curly girls. Make sure to add the bangs to make it 2011 trendy! Gina cut and styled this look perfectly on our client who absolutely loved it!

Last but not least lets take a look at some color options. Fall reminds us of the leaves changing and the colors naturally deepening. Browns and reds are in! That does not mean blonde is out, it just means fall is inspiring a darker direction. Some women are just in need of a change in general which could go any direction. Most of our stylists have had it with their hair color and made the change all at once. Beth is blonde again, Marie went red, Louise looked to an ashy brown from her platinum and Valerie darkened and low-lighted too. It's amazing to see the difference a color change can make. 

These fearless models made the dramatic change they desired. Leading the way to possibilities this fall. these before and afters from Fashionising. 

Anything is possible with color, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Natasha poly, Eniko Mihalik, and Lily Cole are just a few examples. If you want to stick with the trends just keep it comfortable, confident, and add some fringe.
