- As we are getting into the warmer months, what do you do to eliminate the flaky, dry skin from the winter elements?
As the elements of the winter weather can be harsh on our skin, I always recommend exfoliation and hydration treatments for the face and body. You will be glad that you did!
- Laser hair removal is quite popular. What are the differences between laser and electrolysis?
In my opinion, electrolysis and laser hair removal are both very effective for every skin type. I would say that clients would see faster results with laser because it destroys many hair follicles with one pulse instead of destroying one follicle at a time with electrolysis. Furthermore, electrolysis is effective on blonde and gray hair, and laser only targets the dark hair. The specialist or electrologist should evaluate every case individually, which is the reason Berenice Beauty Center offers a complimentary consultation before starting any treatment.
- From the time a client starts the process of lasering a specific area, how much time is needed for complete removal?
As a hair removal expert, I cannot predict how long it will take to complete the treatment for numerous reasons, such as each person having different hair types. Sometimes certain medicine stimulates hair growth; plus, stress and hormonal changes are important factors. What I can offer with my 40-plus years of experience, is to guide my clients to come at the right time to treat the hair at the right cycle to achieve the best results.
- What are some of your favorite beauty tips for aging skin?
In general, as we age, it is important to stay out of the sun, no smoking, have the right amount of sleep, moisturize your skin with good products that promote collagen, and lastly, hydration facials to slow down your skin’s aging process.
- Tell us how diet plays a role in affecting the skin.
In my profession, I have talked to many doctors and nutritionists about several diets and draw my conclusion as, you are what you eat!
And what it means is that if you don’t have a balanced diet and if you don’t drink enough water daily, then your skin will resent it and will let you know with dryness, hyperpigmentation, acne, etc.
