How Getting A Massage Regularly Makes You Healthier

Experts estimate that 80 percent to 90 percent of disease is stress-related. A massage and bodywork is there to combat that frightening number by helping us remember what it means to relax. The physical changes a massage brings to your body can have a positive effect in many areas of your life. Besides increasing relaxation and decreasing anxiety, getting a massage lowers your blood pressure, increases circulation, improves recovery from injury, helps you to sleep better and can increase your concentration. It reduces fatigue and gives you more energy to handle stressful situations.

Best Preventative Treatment for Deep Facial Wrinkles: Botox

Botox® Cosmetic, sometimes called “a facelift in a bottle”, is a purified protein. When small doses are injected directly into the muscles, impulses from the nerves to the injected muscle causing the wrinkles are blocked – allowing them to relax. This relaxing of the muscle allows the skin to smooth out persistent lines that developed over time. It is better to start Botox younger because it will prevent those deep wrinkles from ever forming on your forehead, frown lines, furrowed brow, and crow’s feet. The wrinkle preventing effect of Botox lasts for approximately 3-4 months and up to 6 months. Here are four common area’s Botox is used to help create and maintain a more youthful appearance.

Best Time for Laser Hair Removal

Many people ask “What is the best time to start Laser Hair Removal in Dallas?” and we have the answer.

Ideally you want to start laser hair removal treatments in the winter. It is really the best time because most people  are less exposed to the sun during the fall and winter months. Experts recommend clients refrain from tanning activities two weeks prior to treatments and following the treatments. For lasting results, The New You Med Spa recommends 6 to 8 treatments to significantly reduce hair growth long term.

Dry Skin Care Strategies

Treating dry skin is important because extensively dry skin can lead to dermatitis, a more severe inflammation of the skin. Try these tips for the bath or shower:

• Skip long, hot showers – Hot water strips oils from the skin faster than warm water. Long showers or baths actually result in dried  out skin. Try to limit yourself to a single 5- or 10-minute warm shower or bath a day. A lukewarm bath with oatmeal or baking soda can help relieve skin that is so dry it has become itchy.
• Use a gentle cleanser or shower gel with moisturizer – Go for unscented, soap-free, or mild soap cleansers instead of harsh cleansers.
• Moisturize while skin is moist – Pat your skin with a towel after you shower or wash your face or hands, leaving it damp. Apply a moisturizer within three to five minutes of washing to lock moisture in your skin.

5 Lifestyle Tips for Relieving Dry Skin

We have put together 5 Lifestyle Tips for Relieving Dry Skin. These tips can help make your skin supple and smooth during the dry winter months (even here in Texas):

1. Plug in a humidifier at home to help keep skin hydrated when indoor air is dry during winter months.
2. Wear cotton and other natural fibers. Wool, synthetics, or other fabrics can be scratchy and irritating.
3. Drink plenty of water.
4. Eat omega-3 foods. Essential fatty acids can help fortify the skin’s natural oil-retaining barriers. Foods rich in omega-3 include cold-water fish (salmon, halibut, sardines), flax, walnuts, and safflower oil.
5. For itching or inflammation, apply a cool compress or a hydrocortisone cream on the area for a week. If these don’t provide relief, talk to your doctor.
