5 Simple Steps to Have Youthful Skin for Life After Thirty

February 7, 2015 by Theresa Taylor Grutzeck Leave a Comment

The beauty clock starts ticking at thirty. Things can go south very fast if you don’t start taking care of your skin. If you are thirty or over, now is the time to change your skin care regime from a department or drug store brand to an advanced skin care line, preferably from an Aesthetician.

With proper care, you can have fabulous skin in your forties, fifties, sixties and beyond. These promises are not based on my assumptions or observations alone, they have been proven by anti-aging cosmeceutical experts.

1. Serums. DMAE is positively one of the supreme ingredients to include in your everyday skin care ritual, because of the wonders it does for the skin. When this unusual nutrient complex is applied topically, not only does it work quickly—within minutes of application—it also continues to firm the skin over time. And it couldn’t be safer; it’s considered a food-grade substance, so you could actually eat it.

2. Cleansers. Using harsh alkali soaps and acne cleansers, can cause the surface of the skin to breakdown and bring about damage to the protective barrier, leaving it dry and vulnerable to disease. Using sensitive and mild cleansers that are rich in nutrients gently washes away debris and make-up without drying, at the same time nurturing the skin so that it continues to look, feel and act young and healthy.

3. Toners. While cleansing the skin daily, using a toner after cleansing is essential in taking care of your skin and keeping it smooth and healthy. Using a cotton pad with toner will take away excess make-up and oils and improve the surface of the skin. A toner with Peptides, Vitamin C, with a PH balance will benefit the complexion greatly and the skin will function with maximum benefits.

4. Moisturize. By age thirty you will see the effects of sun damage and loss of skin tone. Uneven skin tone, blotchiness and dark pigmentation are all signs of pre-mature aging. Skin starts thinning at thirty and takes longer to repair itself, than in your twenties. Stop using detergent-based moisturizers and switch to a scientifically advanced moisturizer with antioxidants and peptides, as these will help protect the epidermis from losing firmness and prevent sagging.

5. Eye Care. The eye area is the most stressed out area on the face. This delicate area cannot handle stress, allergies, alcohol, severe weather or sunshine. Eyes swell from allergies, alcohol consumption and stress. What you might not know is that when swelling occurs, toxins are left in the area and cause havoc underneath the skin. If not pampered early and correctly and given the utmost care, eyes will sag, look years older, and wrinkle fast. Eyes are the first to go when aging starts. Using a nonirritant, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and a de-puffer eye cream specifically for the eye area is recommended.

Facts about Skin Over 30. The skin’s oil glands reduce their production significantly after age 30, and the loss continues over the years. Regardless of your skin type, the bottom line is this: A little care can go a long way. For most people, a skin care program that emphasizes advanced scientific proven products can help heal the skin from the inside out and maximize the good qualities of your complexion by improving color, clarity, and smoothness, while minimizing fine lines and wrinkles.

New Year’s 2015 Beauty Resolution

January 9, 2015 by Theresa Taylor Grutzeck Leave a Comment

Smooth and Youthful Skin Starts With Good Skin Care

The New Year brings us a new beginning and a fresh start. When the New Year approaches, people promise themselves that this is the year they’re going to take charge and replace bad habits with good routines. This year you may want to think about starting a new skin care program; or if you’ve never had one, now is a good time to start. A good routine will improve your skin, giving you years of youthful complexion in the future. Discover new scientific methods that can make a difference to your skin, treating your complexion with new technologies in skin care, such as antioxidant serums and scrubs.

The first step to future skin health is finding a licensed Aesthetician. An Aesthetician is highly trained in the care of the skin and is state board certified in analyzing all different types of skin to advise you on what to use for your specific needs. Many Aestheticians work with Dermatologists, offering facials and specialized skin treatments in their offices. Most Dermatologists do not provide skin care programs; they supply skin treatments and medications. Below are some skin care options for you to consider adding to your daily routine.

Facial Cleansers
You want to avoid the “one-size-fits-all” skin cleansers. If you have dry skin, use a cleanser that will help nourish, protect, and re-moisturize the skin. If you have an oily complexion, use a cleanser that will help balance the oil production and reduce acne. For sensitive skin, use a cleanser that does not have herbs or a scent, as this can prove to be an irritant, causing breakouts and dryness. Instead, use a cleanser that deep cleans the surface and eliminates skin irritations.

Facial Toners
Face toners are essential for beautiful skin. They help to moisturize, while bringing the skin back to its natural PH balance. It also removes hard-to-cleanse residue left over from make-up. A good toner will also help exfoliate the skin and retexture the surface of the skin so the complexion will be firm and smooth.

Eye Creams
Eye creams are essential to avoid pre-mature aging and wrinkles. It is important to get one that is specifically made for the eye area. The skin around the eye is very thin and delicate and must be treated differently than the rest of the face. You cannot use face moisturizers around the eye area because they are too thick and will not moisturize or hydrate. A good eye cream will instantly firm and tighten eye contour, minimizing the appearance of puffy eyes and dark circles.

Face Creams
While everyone is different, a face cream should be used every day to avoid dehydration. Using a face cream for your specific skin needs is not only beneficial, but essential. Look for creams that have been scientifically improved with enriched vitamins, antioxidants and peptides. It will keep the skin supple and hydrated. Research has shown that applying peptides with anti-oxidants and vitamins reduces fine lines, healing the skin from the inside out, thus reducing the formation of wrinkles.

Protect your skin’s future
We invite you to come in this year and sample our skin care products and treatments by Ongrien Technologies. We would like to educate you on a proper skin care program and help you achieve your skin health goals. Let this year be the year you love your skin. It’s Easy, simple, and a snap to get the skin you want.

Confidence Is The New Sexy

November 6, 2014 by Theresa Taylor Grutzeck Leave a Comment

Confidence is beautiful!
A woman that is confident radiates strength, passion, and conviction. A confident woman is not afraid to be herself. She has high self-awareness, knows all aspects of herself, and trusts her instincts. She knows that she is beautiful just the way she is, regardless of what the media dictates.

That beautiful black dress, heels and make-up can make you feel a little sexier, but the sexiest thing about you doesn’t have a color or shape. You can’t touch it, but you sure can feel it … it’s self-confidence!
Being comfortable with who you are, is ultimately what’s behind this new movement that redefines sexy from appearance to inner strength. It’s no longer about what others think of you or trying to live up to a man’s idea or media’s image of what beauty is, it’s what you think of yourself, that makes you sexy.

The Strength to Be Confident
Beauty is far beyond skin deep. There are “beautiful” women who think negatively about their appearance, and women who, some might say, are not as “beautiful,” yet they exude confidence and self-acceptance. That inner-strength to positively believe in who you are and own your body, is the strength you have to build to become sexy.
That mental toughness is only built through believing your own hype. If you don’t create hype for yourself, you have nothing to believe in but only what others think of you. Change that today by coming up with your own self-confidence mantra.

As an insecure woman, you rely on others and put a lot of expectations on them to validate you and make you feel good. It is absolutely essential for you to feel good about yourself and know yourself, FIRST – before you have wonderful deserving relationships.

How you feel about yourself, and how you carry yourself is ultimately more important than how you look (Although I do think taking care of yourself and wearing your own style of make-up fills the pretty side of your soul). Many people find other qualities more important than looks. Other qualities like confidence and self-esteem! Trying to please others or live up to others’ expectations is not sexy. To build strength and define your own beauty, consider your body and looks in your own definition of sexy.

It isn’t until you accept yourself and change your mindset that you can truly start moving in the right direction, and positive change will follow. The strength to accept yourself comes from knowing your own importance. The body you want is only possible through the body you’ve got. Loving it, accepting it, and treating your whole body with love from head to toe, is essential to being sexy. So embrace the face and body you’ve got, in all its sexy glory, so you can move towards a positive outlook on life and confident persona.

Kill the fat talk (and skinny talk, too!) Too many times there’s an “us against them” struggle between “overweight” and “skinny” people. This shouldn’t be. The put-downs, stares, and judgments need to stop! Accepting an individual is the best way to accept your own body and is the first step to stop comparing yourself to others. Empowering other women is by far the sexiest and most meaningful.

The most beautiful people I know are the people that are beautiful from within. They love themselves and the world around them. Absolute confidence comes from within us, not from outside influences –and THAT is a beautiful thing.

All About Brows: What Do Your Eye Brows Say About You?

October 9, 2014 by Theresa Taylor Grutzeck Leave a Comment

Throughout history eyebrows have played a significant roll in fashion and identifies the era in which women lived. When we tweeze and define our brows, we are actually taking part in a long, long history of facial grooming. During the Renaissance, women shaved their eyebrows off completely, while the colonial elite in 18th-century America preferred to make their eyebrows more pronounced by adding coal to give them more definition.

More than ever, eyebrows are the focus in beauty today. How to capture the correct brow style for our generation is as important as the right way we update and apply make-up to the eyes and lips.

Eyebrows are a very significant aspect of our appearance. They are one of the most distinctive features that make up our faces. Eyebrows are also one of our most expressive facial features. Brows help us signal emotions, but they’re also on autopilot: as the pitch of your voice rises, so do your eyebrows and visa-versa. Not only do they signal our responses, when you make an expression without thinking, such as when you’re surprised, eyebrows move in a way that’s symmetrical to each other. Conversely, when you make what’s called an, ‘intended’ expression, like suspicion and curiosity, your brows will furrow asymmetrically.

A study done by MIT found that people had more trouble correctly identifying the faces of people they knew when they were presented with images of them missing their eyebrows. Thus, researchers concluded that brows might be more important for facial recognition than the eyes themselves. One of the clearest ways to tell somebody what you’re thinking is to simply move your eyebrows up or down; we all know what different eyebrow positions mean.

Your brows say more about you than you know. According to face experts, the type of eyebrow you have defines who you are. Curved eyebrows indicate someone who is people-oriented and needs real-world examples to understand a problem. While straight eyebrows with a slight arch imply that someone is more direct, factual, and logical, thriving on technical details. Angled eyebrows show someone who likes to be right and strives to be mentally in-control, no matter the situation. Unkempt eyebrows could give a person the persona that he doesn’t care and could be aloof. Happy face eyebrows or rounded eyebrows can make you look mad or mean even if you’re not.

Having your eyebrows shaped professionally is key. Whatever the shape everyone is individually different with their own personality. You cannot find your ideal shape with an eyebrow stencil or by reading a magazine.
Having a professional with expert knowledge and experience in eyebrow shaping is one of the best beauty assets you can have and is as important as washing your face.

Discover your own eyebrow personality by seeing a professional today. So few women know how to shape their own brows but it is one of the most important things you can do. Paying attention to the smallest of details tells a lot about who you are. A Confident, refined, sophisticated, and a modern girl.

Back To School Beauty 2014

August 10, 2014 by Theresa Taylor Grutzeck Leave a Comment

A new school year means a new you, but who has time for a mini makeover before class? Try these simple and easy beauty tips to totally switch up your look in 60 seconds or less!

Fabulous Eyes:

We all know eyeliner is the secret to instantly playing up the eyes, but who says it always has to be black or brown? Try using a rich navy to spice things up with an added new trendy twist.

Flirt Alert:

Switching up your lip color is an easy way to transition your summer beauty look into fall. This season soft nude peach tones, is the new pink. So trade in your rosy-hued pink gloss for a subtle natural gold coral shade.

Brighten Up:

Waking up for school can be rough. Fake a fresh-faced look even if you’ve been up all night cramming for a test by using a shimmery pink blush on your cheekbones. This is a quick way to get a natural girly glow without looking made-up. Make sure to smile so you can locate the apples of your cheeks, then apply the shimmer in an upward slant. It’s a great pick-me-up for the girl on the go!

One Hot Minute:

Tired of reapplying your lip-gloss after every class? Try out a fun new lip liner in a nude, berry, or soft peach and you’ll be well on your way to the perfect, long-lasting pout! Lip liners can last hours, while glosses can fade after eating and drinking. To apply: line and fill in your lips then simply add gloss.

Brows a-go-go:

When making up your eyes, look beyond just your lids and lashes. Eyebrows are actually the feature that frames your whole face, and with a little grooming it can go an extra-long way! If your brows are on the lighter or thinner side, try filling them in with a waterproof eyebrow pencil that’s a complimentary shade to your brow color. For blondes we usually suggest a taupe color, slightly lighter than your brows. For darker hair you’ll want to use a medium taupe color. You’ll be surprised at what a world of difference this quick trick makes, especially when taking selfies!!

You can also make an eyebrow appointment at The Rouge to update your brows perfectly and expertly before starting school. We are pros at brow shaping. We look at the shape of your face and wax and groom your eyebrows to work perfectly with your own individual face shape, and of course they keep your look extremely trendy and updated.

Summer Skin Care

July 6, 2014 by Theresa Taylor Grutzeck Leave a Comment

The summer months come with outdoor barbecues, picnics, and vacations at the beach. Being out in the hot summer sun can be damaging to our skin. Most people do not realize that exposure to harsh environments (such as air conditioning, excessive heat, salt water, and chlorine) can dehydrate the skin. This can lead to dry skin that may itch and flake easily. Moreover, we must protect our skin from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays as it can negatively impact skin health and appearance by causing premature aging and wrinkles.

Here are some tips for healthy summer skin:

Hydrate skin from the inside-out. It is important to stay hydrated during the summer months to retain healthy skin and prevent it from becoming dry. We perspire more in the hot summer months and therefore rapidly lose water through the skin. It is important to replenish by drinking fluids regularly, especially when outdoors. Carry a water bottle with you and sip it throughout the day. Water is best as it helps to hydrate the skin. Try to avoid caffeinated beverages (coffee, tea, soda), which can lead to dehydration and diminish the skin’s healthy appearance. Besides drinking fluids to stay hydrated, eating healthy and exercising regularly, consider adding an Omega-3 supplement, such as Krill or fish oil, to help nourish and protect the skin. Consuming more antioxidants through foods and supplements can help protect the skin and help prevent premature aging of the skin. For example, Vitamin C is an essential component to the production of collagen—the skin’s natural support structure. It helps maintain the structure of collagen and elastin, both of which are important for firmness and the elasticity of the skin. Exposure to the sun’s UV rays over time causes damage to the collagen structure in the skin, contributing to the formation of wrinkles. Beta-carotene is another antioxidant that can help protect skin cells from oxidation damage, while Vitamin E has antioxidant properties to help fight free radicals to protect and nourish the skin.

Sunscreen: Your skin’s best defense. Applying topical sunscreen with Titanium Dioxide daily before going out, is your skin’s best defense against damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays that can cause premature aging of the skin. Sunscreen is recommended all year long, however, applying sunscreen regularly during the summer months is critical– when sun exposure is frequent and UV rays are at their most severe.

Moisturize: The three-minute rule. Moisturizing is also an important step to keep skin hydrated, and one of the keys to locking in moisture is to apply a moisturizer within three minutes of showering or bathing – using a moisturizer with 15 percent or even 20 percent Shea Butter can give your skin the moisture boost it needs. Make moisturizing a routine every morning after showering to keep your skin soft and supple.

Make it the best summer ever and enjoy!

10 Beauty Essentials for Your Summer Island Vacation

June 7, 2014 by Theresa Taylor Grutzeck Leave a Comment

Pack your bags girls and enjoy the Island heat wave this summer with some incredible tips on making your Tropical Vacation Beautilicious!

Check List

1st: Sunscreen

Sorry to say it girls but you need to wear it! It must have titanium dioxide in it as this important ingredient deflects the sun, protecting both the skin’s top layers and under the skin. It’s like wearing a sweatshirt on the skin. When using a chemical sunscreen (sold in most pharmacies) it will protect only the top layer of skin. This only prevents sunburn and it does not protect the cells underneath the skin that ultimately cause sun damage.

2nd: Self Tanners

Why spray tan before a trip when you can bring your sunshine-in-a-bottle with you! This is a simple, and more importantly, safer way to go from pale to Bronzed Tropical Goddess in less than two hours. For your face use Fleur Visage Bronze Liquid Illuminator. No one wants to put on a heavy foundation on vacation so to guarantee a shimmering glow with medium coverage use a bronze liquid illuminator. A sure Must-have!!

3rd: Face Bronzers

“But I need to have that Island glow!” I hear your say. Be sure to pack a bronzer to guarantee you have that healthy, sunkissed glow to your face. Psssst little inside beachy tip for you, dust some on your shoulders and chest for that ultimate-smoldering look.

4th: After Sun Moisturizer by Hampton Sun

This vitamin-rich lotion will improve the health of the skin by repairing and nourishing the surface. It’s for smart, serious, sunbathing. Apply after sun exposure to ensure your skin is ready for another day on the beach. Store it in the fridge to add the extra cooling sensation for your skin.

5th: Vitamin C with Vitamin E Lip Treatments

These treatments are perfect for those summer days basking in the sun on some deserted tropical island. It cures and hydrates chapped lips instantly. If you’re feeling flirty why not try a lip treatment with a hint of color. A head turner for sure!

6th: Premier Ultra Firming Eye Cream

This cream will reduce puffiness around the eye area and super hydrate the skin when you go to those late night island parties. So enjoy yourself and have those four margaritas with salt!

7th: A Skinny Dip Lip Gloss

You will look Oh-So Natural and give your make-up that sought after dewy look with this lip gloss. Get into the island fever and make your lips sizzle and shine!

8th: Eye Shadow Trios

Simple and fast. Who wants to wear make-up on a trip? You may ask, but if you are going out to that late night beach party you need to up your game. Simple one-two-three eye shadow trios will take your eyes from dull to dreamy in seconds. Get island points for being pretty!

9th: Waterproof Eye Liner Gels

The perfect beauty accessory for any occasion. Wear them at the beach in the water, or swimming. They will not run, smear or smudge. Be a tropical beauty any time of the day; leave those panda eyes at home with these gorgeous automatic slim line pencils.

10th: Stephanie Johnson Cosmetic Train bags

Organize your trip with these amazing beauty bags from Stephanie Johnson, so you can have the time to spruce up fast and trouble-free. Brushes and pencils on one side with holders, (genius) and make-up essentials on the other (aloha!). It makes a trip fun and easy, spending less time searching for your cosmetics in your everything-but-the-kitchen-sink make-up bag. You don’t want to be late for that big island Luau!

Do you hear that? It’s last call…now lets GO!

Chinese Medicine

May 8, 2014 by Theresa Taylor Grutzeck Leave a Comment

For years I have been researching magazines, science articles and skin and health topics online for the latest and newest technologies in skin care and cosmetics. Recently I came across this very interesting topic about Ancient Chinese Medicine. It’s ironic and remarkable that for thousands of years, Chinese practitioners have been using ancient remedies for wellness, yet we keep trying to improve our lives with modern technologies.

For over five thousand years in Chinese medicine, practitioners have understood that uneven color and texture, patchiness, lines, breakouts and other issues with our face are really indicative of deeper issues going on within our bodies and in our organs. Here are some commonly held ancient Chinese beliefs about what we might learn from examining our face.

Breakouts around the chin/jaw area could indicate a hormonal imbalance and congestion in the colon.

Lines above the upper lip might indicate stagnation or blockages in the digestive tract, specifically relating to the organs of the stomach and small intestines. This can be attributed to the accumulation of acidic waste and toxicity, which is not adequately leaving the body.

Deep laugh lines (and the nasolabial line) relate to our lung line and liver. These lines could be due to smoking or shallow chest breathing so that not enough oxygen is getting into the lungs (yogo helps with this), or a colon that is so backed up so that our lung meridian is being impeded. It can also indicate an overloaded liver.

A lined forehead might point to congestion, and specifically a blocked, toxin-filled colon and gallbladder. Big contributors to this can be consuming a lot of dairy, cooked oils, or processed foods. On the other hand, one might have a good diet but is not cleansing properly or adequately to keep up with the toxicity the good diet is kicking up.

Dark under-eye circles or puffiness can indicate adrenal exhaustion. Too much caffeine, a lack of sleep and too much stress can cause this.

Crow’s feet around the eyes can also indicate that our adrenals are being overtaxed and that our bodies are acidic and imbalanced.

Patchy skin or lines high up around the cheekbone area may be associated with heart issues. Eating too much clogging animal protein, too many animal products, or cooked oils could be the major contributor.

The good news is that our cells regenerate. If we take positive steps now to improve our diet and cleanse our bodies, we can reverse issues and make major improvements in our overall health and beauty. Let’s start today shall we, so we can live long and enjoy our lives being healthy and beautiful from the inside and out!
