Get Your Glow On At EWC

NEW YORK (March 25, 2015) – With all eyes on the bride, revealing beautiful skin on your wedding day is almost as important as the dress you choose. European Wax Center (EWC) has compiled a list of waxing do’s and dont’s for brides seeking picture perfect skin for their big day. Now, beauty obsessed brides can save the stress for the seating plan and leave the smooth glowing skin to EWC.

Below is EWC’s “Waxing for Wedding” countdown all brides can put in their planners:

Areas for Consideration:
◦ An eyebrow shaping will accentuate your eyes and frame your face. Under a veil or not, eyes will reflect your every emotion so it’s important to define the perfect shape for your face.
◦ Your underarms, especially if you are wearing a strapless or sleeveless gown. (This is why brides often wax their arms too.)
◦ For gorgeous wedding gams, consider the full or half leg wax. (Pay attention to those toes if you’re wearing open toe shoes.)
◦ A classic bikini wax or a Brazilian wax will leave you feeling your sexiest on your big day (and night).
◦ And don’t forget that the removal of any dreaded facial hair is a must! Keep the focus on your smile in those inevitable close-up photos you’re paying a pretty penny for.

3 Months Prior:

· Schedule an appointment with your EWC Wax Specialist to discuss the right plan for achieving your most beautiful skin for your wedding. Your Wax Specialist will then get you on a schedule to ensure a smooth glowing appearance. In most cases, your Wax Specialist will advise scheduling an appointment every three weeks for the three months leading up to your big day.

2 Months Prior:

· Eyebrows are like a picture frame; the right brow will accentuate your face, enhance your eyes and show your true expression. Meet with your EWC Wax Specialist (and bring along your veil) so you can determine the most appropriate shape for your face.

1 Week Prior:

· Now’s the time to get your arms and legs waxed. Don’t forget a bikini/Brazilian wax for smooth skin throughout your honeymoon.

· Get one final facial wax so everyone can see the blushing bride.

· Lastly, give your eyebrows one final shaping and sculpting session.

Here are a few additional tips:

· Keep track of how long it takes for irritation to subside after waxing. Keep in mind, hair grows back thinner and finer with each wax, so irritation will lessen with each appointment.

· For brides looking to be bronze on their big day, EWC Wax Specialists recommend you get your spray tan/apply self-tanner the day after your waxing appointment or if you experience irritation, wait until irritation subsides. Freshly waxed areas absorb pigment better so your skin will look smoother and color will last longer.

· It is essential that you follow post-wax directions from your Wax Specialist. And don’t forget to exfoliate and moisturize between appointments in order to keep skin looking healthy and smooth.

· Finally, don’t cave and shave! Perfectly smooth skin takes time and it’s worth it!

European Wax Center prides itself on revealing beautiful skin at accessible rates ranging from $10 to $68 per service. The brand’s continual success can be attributed to exceptional customer care, premium quality services and products, and a belief that luxurious waxing can be attainable to anyone seeking beautiful skin.

Introducing Restylane Silk

GLADERMA INTRODUCES Restylane® Silk

Restylane Silk

Restylane Silk

If you are looking to add a little more plump to your lip without looking like you have been stung by 1000 bees or hit by a baseball bat Restylane® Silk is now available!

Restylane® Silk provides natural-looking lip definition and smoothes wrinkles around the mouth

Restylane® Silk, the first and only dermal filler that is U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for subtle lip enhancement and the treatment of wrinkles and lines around the mouth. Restylane Silk is a smooth hyaluronic gel that is designed to restore natural youthful definition and symmetry to the lip and mouth area.

As people age, fat and collagen in the face begin to deteriorate and bone loss may occur, leading to thinner skin and more noticeable lines and wrinkles. In the lower part of the face, this often results in lost lip volume and definition and an increase in lines around the mouth.

Look at these natural before and afters:

B4 & after

B4 & after

I believe that any cosmetic changes should be considered carefully. I strongly advise anyone thinking about any type of enhancement to go to a highly skilled and trained doctor. The lip zone is very complicated and you really need a doctor that has thoroughly trained in administering the only FDA approved lip filler Restylane® Silk

When learning about Restylane® Silk, I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Ellen Marmur.

Dr. Ellen Marmur is a leading dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon. She is a recognized and admired expert in skin cancer diagnosis and surgery, Mohs surgery reconstructive surgery, cosmetic surgery, and women’s health dermatology. In addition to her private practice, Dr. Marmur is an Associate Clinical Professor in both the Department of Dermatology and the Department of Genetics & Genomic Research at The Mount Sinai Medical Center.

Dr Ellen Marmur is a elegant as she is accomplished. She is living proof that good dermatology can provide you with the fountain of youth. Personally if I was considering any type of fillers I would be most comfortable with a doctor who embodies good taste and brilliance. I think we can all

Dr Ellen Marmur demonstrated with precision how natural Restylane® Silk can look when administered in a skilled way. Duck lips are definitely a no-no in Dr Marmur’s surgery. The volunteer patients looked really natural and were thrilled with the results!

“The perfect face comes down to mathematics!” stated Dr Marmur. If all specialized doctors adhered to this notion there would be a lot less excessive augmentation of lips!

CAN SAVE THEIR LIVES

Video coming soon.

Dental disease in pets can lead to life-threatening conditions if left untreated. When severe, it can lead to bacterial infections. We have also seen a correlation between dental disease and chronic diseases of the heart, kidneys and liver, and even organ failure.

Dental disease is the most common disease affecting pets: According to Banfield Pet Hospital’s State of Pet Health Report, more than 90 percent of dogs over the age of 3 suffer from dental disease.

Symptoms of dental disease may be hard to notice, so it’s important for pet parents to become familiar with the signs to avoid major health problems.

Early Symptoms of Dental Disease Include:
• Bad breath
• Yellow, brown, loose or missing teeth
• Red or swollen gums
• Discoloration or tartar on the teeth
• Difficulty chewing or decreased appetite

In this video Veterinarian Dr. Andrea Sanchez discusses the problem of dog dental disease and what pet owners can do to help prevent it. She outline’s what to include in a dental care program, including demonstrating the “Flip, Check, Treat” regimen to protect against dental disease, and a daily home treatment that will help maintain healthier teeth and gums for your precious pooch.

Don’t Skimp On Health Insurance With Cigna

Choosing a health plan is a major financial decision, yet a new Cigna survey found more than half of consumers don’t dedicate enough time to choosing a plan. In fact, more than half of the people surveyed said they spend less than an hour choosing health plans.

This does not to imply that people are not concerned about their health care. In fact, the survey uncovered major anxiety about financial health that goes far beyond making health plan choices this fall.

For example, the survey found:
• 75% fear health care costs could ruin prospects for a secure retirement
• 44% worry health care costs will limit ability to pay for a child’s college
• 80% say they wish “doing healthier things didn’t cost so much.”
What consumers may not realize is how health plans can help them with those challenges through useful resources and tools.

In this video Dr. Scott T. Josephs, Vice President and National Medical Officer of Cigna discusses this crucial survey. Dr. Josephs give us tips on choosing a health plan, and he can also discuss the link between health and financial security.
