Beauty Fit for Summer Defining Our Priorities From the Inside Out

If you’re noticing a lack of color and vivacity in your skin, we can recommend a treatment like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to promote collagen growth and revitalize your complexion. As we age, our skin loses volume, and promoting collagen production through PRP is a safe and effective method. Our skin acts as a barrier to anything attempting to go beneath its surface, but with the microneedling we use for PRP, we create tiny spaces that allow revitalizing formulas to enter your skin and return its youth. Of course, I always recommend evaluating your diet. Are you eating enough fresh vegetables, especially the cruciferous kind? These are so good for your skin, and when they are part of your diet, you will Most treatments are available year-round, but some options, like laser hair removal and MiraDry — our no-sweat solution — are extra beneficial this time of year. Talk to us about our Hair-Free Club and MiraDry. When it comes to weight loss and getting to a point where you feel confident, there are great options, including our 40-day program. (Did we mention we offer cash for weight loss in this program?) If you’ve been doing all the right things but aren’t getting where you want to be with your weight, talk to us. Whether the right treatment is our 40-day program, hormone therapy, or sculpting with Kybella, we will advise you on your options. Here’s the good news: While the sun and high temperatures can be hard on our skin, there are many wonderful, effective treatments that can get it back to a beautiful place. Just ask us — we love to bring out la belleza in you. notice the difference. Treat Yourself

We know it all too well: Summer in the Rio Grande Valley is hot . While we’re used to warm weather here in Texas, the higher temperatures make it even more important to take care of your health and beauty to protect the esthetic you’ve been carefully working to achieve. What I would recommend is a three-pronged approach to summer beauty. Hydrate Hydration starts from the inside out. Even the best moisturizer won’t solve parched skin if your body is in need of more water. Drink water throughout the day and stick to one cup of coffee or tea, as caffeine is dehydrating. If you find regular water isn’t cutting it, add a slice of lemon, grapefruit, or cucumber to give it some flavor without adding any sugar. When you are drinking enough water, a rich moisturizer will be the perfect complement to keeping your skin dewy. If you need to hit the refresh button altogether with your complexion, a facial peel can be a good way to start from square one and help your moisturizer

absorb better. Our VI Peel is a very effective option. Protect and Revitalize Your Skin

This starts with using a quality, natural SPF every day. Many products have SPF built in, and our estheticians can recommend a good formula for you. If you’ll be outside for more than 10 minutes, wear protective layers and enjoy the excuse to wear a stylish hat. Besides what your esthetician provides, preventing sun damage is one of the best anti-aging methods out there.

That Good Burn Fitness Equipment You Can Take With You While You Travel Traveling is one of the best ways to stretch your comfort zone and make new memories — if only your fitness routine didn’t have to suffer for it. However, there are ways to feel a good burn no matter where you travel. Pack the following equipment for your next vacation and never miss a workout. Resistance Bands Spend more time by the pool and less time working out on vacation when you double the effect of your squats with these rubber bands. Each band is a stretchable loop you wear around both legs at once, and they’re conveniently compact and lightweight. (Pro tip: Wear your band just above your knees for the most resistance!) You can incorporate your bands into any workout, as the level of resistance you choose with the band will impact the amount of work your muscles do. The best part about this equipment is that it packs a punch for your glutes, and it’s small enough to fit in a purse. Core Sliders Traveling is a great time to have a few extra cheat meals, but you don’t want this indulgence to come at the expense of your core strength. While you’re on vacation, keep your gut strong with core sliders. These thin, round discs are placed under your hands or feet as you pull and push your limbs away from your body in a plank position. They are the perfect tool for when a crunch just isn’t enough or when you’d rather not lay on the hotel floor. Swim Goggles Make your swimming routine more effective and (literally) keep your eye on the prize, with a pair of swim goggles. Most goggles are small, and some even come with their own case. The key is to find a pair that fits your head well. Unlike resistance bands or sliders, which all function the same general way, an ineffective pair of goggles can leave you fidgeting with your gear more than actually working out. Try on a few pairs or read through the reviews before making your selection.

How Our Favorite Male Stars Maintain Their Ageless Look Brotox: The Best in Anti-Aging for Men Come awards season, stars like George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Idris Elba are getting ready to grace the red carpet, turning to gym sessions, tailors, and spa days to look their best. It’s no secret we all want to look younger, and this desire isn’t specific to gender. Men also face pressure to maintain their youth and virility. One cosmetic treatment on the rise for the male population is Brotox — injections for men to reduce the effects of aging. In the last several years, the number of men receiving Botox has increased by 33%. Many male celebrities turn to Botox to minimize their wrinkles and give their skin a youthful, firm appearance, from the big screen to the red carpet. By relaxing select muscles with FDA-approved, carefully placed injections, the application of Botox can smooth worry lines and crow’s-feet, helping men look younger. Botox treatments from an experienced, licensed professional (like those on our team at Beautique) can help ease lines around the forehead and brows that cause men to look unintentionally angry or severe, returning youthfulness and joy to their lives, not to mention to their partners’ lives, as well.

Before treatment begins, we speak with each of our clients, male and female, to see that any injections we do are customized to their lifestyle and goals. Besides restoring youth to their appearance, celebrities and men from all walks of life also receive Botox to combat excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis. Botox is an FDA- approved way to treat this condition and we also now offer MiraDry to combat it, as well. Ask us about your options today! To celebrate them this Father’s Day, give the men in your life the gift of youth and confidence. Talk to Dr. Sanchez or anyone from our team about Brotox. Dad deserves to look good, too!

How to Stay Fit in Soaring Temps

Beat the Heat With These Tips

flexible and don’t push yourself too hard in the heat, as it’s easier to overdo it. If you start to feel ill, stop, rest, and take care of yourself. Your health is more important than finishing that last sprint. Indoor Workouts Picking the air-conditioned gym or living room is another option. It’s not only a more comfortable choice, but it might also be the safer one. When it gets really hot out, you’re not necessarily doing your body a favor by exercising outdoors, and you may even put it at risk for heat-related illnesses. You’re in good company. Celebs like Sofía Vergara and Jessica Alba opt for home workouts because of how flexible and adaptable they are. A few rounds of squats, lunges, and pushups, and you’ll understand how they get their toned physiques from the comfort of home. During the summer (and really, in any season), drink plenty of water throughout the day, not just during or after a workout, and find cool, shaded areas to get your fitness on.

The idea of working out in the summer can make you feel a little conflicted. It’s the season when you most want to tone up and maintain your fitness, but it’s often too hot outside to work out. You need a strategy to tackle summer workouts in an achievable and

safe way. Here’s how to do it. Get the Right Gear

Having workout clothes that breathe well and wick moisture away can make a hot-weather workout much more comfortable. A hat and sunglasses will provide further protection and cooling relief. If this sounds like an excuse to go out and buy yourself some cute, new gym clothes, you’ve got the right idea.

Aim for Early Morning or Late Evening Workouts

Avoid the hottest parts of the day and plan to either wake up very early for your workout or wait until the sun is setting to head outside. Interval-based workouts can be a good option. Remember to take plenty of breaks to avoid overheating. If only a long walk is realistic one day, that’s always better than no physical activity at all. Be
