Pumpkin Fever

It's that time of year again and pumpkin coffee, cakes and products are popping up everywhere. I just saw pumpkin Greek yogurt at Trader Joe's the other day!! Yum. Pumpkins are in season and there is good reason to include this vegetable not only in your diet but also in your skin care regime. Pumpkin is rich in alpha and beta carotenes, important antioxidants that boost immunity and slow the aging process. They are also rich in Vitamins C and E which benefit tired and stressed skin, B5 to balance hormone levels and lutein to protect from oxidative damage. On top of all that pumpkins also provide the skin with fatty acids, potassium, magnesium, zinc and iron to balance fluid levels, soothe, soften and elasticize the skin and treat wrinkles and dehydration. That's a lot of good reasons to join in the PUMPKIN FEVER!!

Living at the beach, our skin can become dehydrated during the summer and the damaging rays of the sun can speed up the aging process. With the cool and drier winter months approaching, this is the best time of year to rehydrate and rejuvenate the skin.

Skin Care Ingredients

Skin care ingredients are becoming more advanced every day with cosmetic chemists' efforts. These new ingredients can also bring new side effects. It is important to discuss your facial regime with your aesthetician or skin care professional before going out and buying the next "best thing" on the market. He or she should already know which products and ingredients will be most effective for your skin type.

KB Organic Skin Care: A History

KB Organic Skin Care & Waxing was established in 2008. After working in the industry and studying the physiology of the skin for over ten years, I knew I needed to go organic. I also knew that in order to treat the skin and my clients the way they deserved, I would have to go out on my own. And thus KB Organic Skin Care & Waxing was born. For the past 5 years I have built a business on customized treatments for both the face and body. All my customized organic facials are either 60 or 90 minutes and include a lip and eye treatment, or whatever else you may need that I can accomplish within the time selected. My body treatments can treat almost any ailment from A-Z and include a pressure point facial and scalp massage. I believe this concept of fully customized services, that don't nickel and dime the client into upgrades once on the treatment table, is what makes my skin care business stand out. I also offer eyebrow and eyelash tinting and have my own line of custom blended skin care serums.

The First Sunscreen

The first sunscreen is thought to have been developed in 1949 by chemist Franz Greiter. After getting a sunburn climbing the Alps, he made Glacier Cream which is believed to be SPF 2.
