Sothys at Elite

Essential skincare products

The skin is the biggest organ in our body. And we are huge believers in essential skincare. We think it is very important to treat yourself and your skin well. At Elite Sothys Cleanser-Toner combo at Elitewe also believe in the french women’s method: Taking care of yourself and your skin from a very early age on.

The number one product that every woman should have is a great cleanser.

Types of essential skincare cleansers

For a younger audience, we would recommend foaming cleansers. They will remove unwanted dirt and excess from the skin.  Cleansers should be used at least twice a day, in the morning and in the evening.  Morning cleansing is very important because the skin is rejuvenating during the night. Cleansers also remove old cells before we apply any serum or cream.

For mature women, we propose milk cleansers. They are applied with cotton pads and should be rinsed with water.  Milky cleansers are more gentle and also hydrate your skin already during the application. They are great in combination with a toner that can be individually recommended to your skin needs, or used with micellar water. The milk cleansers should also be used both, mornings and evenings.

You may consider and choose from various Sothys cleansers and toners that can be recommended for your skin type. They are very specific to your skin needs. No matter if you have sensitive, dehydrated or oily skin – there is a milk cleanser in essential skincare just for you.

Exfoliation

After your skin is properly cleansed and dried, it is very important to exfoliate your skin.  Exfoliation can be done at home on a weekly basis, and there are many types available:

  • Gommage exfoliators that need to dry on your skin and need to be rubbed off,
  • Scrubs, and
  • At-home peels

In our spa or in a Dermatology facility you will have access to even deeper exfoliators that can be applied monthly.

We think it is very important to work with your doctor or esthetician to achieve your best skin. To us, beautiful skin is a skin you want to confidently show even without make-up. So if you are going to do anything for yourself and want to improve the appearance of your skin, please start with a world-class cleansing and toning routine. And remember: Even the smartest, expensive, and effective serums and creams out there will not work unless your skin is properly cleaned.

If you have any questions about essential skincare or would you like to schedule one on one virtual consultation please give us a call or email us or simply request an appointment.

Eyebrows at Elite

Do you love your eyebrows?

Eyebrows are the frame of your eyes, highlight your best features, can make you look younger, or can make you look more professional.

I would also like to mention that well-maintained eyebrows make you look gorgeous even without make-up. I call it it is the cheapest face-lift you can get.

Some of you may have had some bad experiences in the past with brow tweezing or a poor wax shaping. But no matter what happened, there is always a solution when you find the right Eyebrow Specialist. And that is where I and the outstanding professionals at Elite are happy to help.
At Elite, we are trained to consider your eyes, the shape of your face, jaw-line, and lips. We will create a beautiful arch that will give you an instant eye and face-lift.

Every follow-up visit will improve your features, and we will also recommend eyebrow products to help in the process: From brow-serum to regrow hair, high definition gel to condition & color the hair for a fuller look, and brow pencils to fill any spots. I recommend follow up visits between 2-3 weeks depending on your individual hair growth.

And I have one rule: Stay away from tweezers.

It is such a good feeling when you have perfectly groomed eyebrows. Everything looks better. If your eyebrows are not on point – there is no point.

There is no better compliment to receive than someone telling you that your eyebrows look good.

And that, my dear clients, is my job. And I would be excited to start with a complimentary consultation for you!

Protect Your Skin from Indoor Pollution

Today, we want to take stock with you on indoor pollution. It is not the first type of pollution that comes to mind, but it is by far the most dangerous for us.

Did you know:

  • the air in our homes and offices is, on average,  8X more polluted than the outside air, and
  • we spend around 70 – 90% of our time indoors.

Understand where this pollution comes from. This pollution has many origins.

  • It can come directly from the building itself  (paint, construction materials, etc)
  • The decoration that we install  (carpet, plastic materials, candles, etc)
  • Our daily activity and habits  (household chemicals and cleaners, tobacco, etc)

With so many different origins, polluting microparticles overload the air.  The first good reflex is to ventilate our homes at least 15mins per day.

The first consequence is the increase in the reactivity of the skin: Have you noticed an increase in your client’s skin sensitivity or reactivity?  Are you noticing this more and more?  It is the effect of indoor pollution.  On top of that, there is a more significant presence of clogged pores.  And the skin is more prone to dehydration.

Some consequences of indoor pollution:

  • Wrinkles are more noticeable
  • The appearance of dark spots
  • Dull complexion
  • Premature aging
