At Marie’s Beauty Salon & Supply, we love the holiday abundance that November brings, but this month we also recognize National Healthy Skin Month. We take skin care education seriously, which is why the goal at Marie’s is not only to pamper and indulge, but also to inform and gain results. Your skin is the largest organ; there are many ways to improve its health and appearance when we nurture and support it properly.

1. Avoid Harsh Chemicals in Products
   Many retail products contain a large number of toxins. Don’t shop without expert advice!
2. Examine Your Skin Regularly
   Look for new or unusual spots, itching, rashes or bleeding. Your skin is a window to health, and it’s important to check your skin regularly. This is especially true if you have a number of moles. Have an esthetician look at your skin.
3. Moisturize Daily
   Hydrated skin is healthy skin! Apply moisturizer to damp skin for the best results. This helps lock in moisture. Dryness can wreak havoc on your skin. This causes cracking, peeling and early aging.
4. Protect Your Skin From the Sun
   The sun can be very damaging over time. Sunscreen is a must during the long daylight of our summer, but it is important to use sunscreen and/or SPF products on your face and neck year-round. Even in Alaska, the light reflects off the snow. Many of you skiers understand this.
5. Determine Your Skin Type
   Choose skin care products tailored to your skin type – dry, oily, combination, normal or sensitive. Not sure what your skin type is? It’s okay, many people don’t! That’s what we are here for! We can help you determine skin type and the best products for your skin.These tips are the first steps to nurturing and supporting your skin, but there is much more you can do. Receiving a customized facial on a regular basis will bring your facial skin to a new level of health and beauty. Our Yon-Ka Skin care line and Jane Iredale mineral makeup provide a healthy solution. Come see us to honor your skin In November!

We’re running a special, too. Receive a complimentary Yon-Ka cleanser (a $43 value) with your facial treatment on Saturdays in November. Don’t miss out. You’ll love the facial.
