Editor in Chief ON THE COVER MANDY PAULINE Photographer MORGAN JAMES Publisher JENNY ANDERSON FRANK MONAHAN WWW.JENNYANDERSONPHOTO.COM Cover photo by Art Director JENNY ANDERSON WWW.JENNYANDERSONPHOTO.COM REBEKKAH DRESKIN HydraFacial It’s Worth the HYPE www.flipmagazine.net SEPTEMBER 2020 SEPTEMBER www.flipmagazine.net f you are a skincare fanatic with a love for innovative treatments, add HydraFacial to the top of your wish list. For years I've maintained a strict skincare regimen with light chemical peels incorporated weekly to manage my melasma and congested skin. I thought there was nothing else that could really help my skin as melasma is very difficult to treat. Then I had my first HydraFacial treatment…Game…Changer. IIt was within my first month working for the company, but I still kick myself for waiting so long to get my hands on the device. I’m a Licensed Esthetician, so of course I had heard of how amazing the HydraFacial treatment was, but I had to experience it for myself to believe the hype. One of the company slogans is, “3-Steps, 30 Minutes, Best Skin of Your Life,” and I have to confess that I looked in the mirror on my way home and said to myself, “this is the best my skin has looked in my entire life.” It not only provided immediate results, it has improved the overall state of my skin health over the last year, which is what ultimately sold me on HydraFacial. 1 So, what exactly is a HydraFacial? hink of it like microdermabrasion that infuses nourishing serums into the skin…but better. The T HydraFacial system has 3 unique serums, disposable tips for each step of the treatment, and a peel that is a combination of glycolic and salicylic acids. Th ese options allow the HydraFacialist to personalize each treatment. Oh, and did I mention how painless and eff ective extractions are?! I’m talking squeaky clean skin with NO pain! You can upgrade to a Deluxe or Platinum HydraFacial to add a HydraFacial Booster or one formulated by your favorite skincare lines to treat your specifi c skin concerns. HydraFacial has partnered with ZO Skin Health, Alastin, Sente, Circadia, HydroPeptide, and NassifMD, to provide treatment options for all skin concerns. My current faves are the Alastin TriHex Pro Booster and the HydraFacial Britenol Booster. TriHex Pro works on clearing out damaged collagen and elastin so the skin can produce healthy cells, and Britenol is loaded with brighteners and antioxidants to calm my melasma. Some of the Boosters also have home-care kits available so you can maintain your HydraFacial results in between appointments. THE TREATMENT Only HydraFacial uses patented technology to cleanse, extract, and hydrate. HydraFacial super serums are made with nourishing ingredients that create an instantly gratifying glow in just 3 steps: CLEANSE + PEEL EXTRACT + HYDRATE FUSE + PROTECT Uncover a new layer of skin with Remove debris from pores with Saturate the skin’s surface with gentle exfoliation and relaxing painless suction. Nourish with intense antioxidants and peptides to resurfacing. moisturizers that quench the skin. maximize your glow. *Courtesy of The HydraFacial Company* What type of results can you expect? mmediately aft er the HydraFacial treatment, your skin will feel refreshed and hydrated, and you’ll have Ia beautiful glow. Th e ingredients in Boosters and the Antiox + (serum in the last HydraFacial step) are highly active (just means their working!) so you may turn pink for a very short amount of time, but that HydraFacial glow will remain. With the use of high-quality home-care products suited for your skin, you’ll maintain these results for 2-4 weeks – lifestyle and overall skin concerns have a lot to do with this too. It’s recommended that you schedule appointments every ���.������������.��� SEPTEMBER 2020 SEPTEMBER ���.������������.��� 4-6 weeks to continue nourishing and treating your skin. 2 Why should HydraFacial be at the top of your wish list? hether you’re new to facials or maintain appointments with your Injector or MD, HydraFacial can Weasily fit into your lifestyle. There are so many aesthetic treatment options available, but there ar- en’t any that perform like HydraFacial. It’s a safe and effective treatment for all skin types and concerns, and it plays well with other treatments – Lasers, Injectables, Microneedling, etc. all perform better on exfoliated, hydrated, and nourished skin. HydraFacial also creates the perfect can- vas for your home-care products to work effectively, and for a flawless makeup application. Th ere are very few non-invasive treatments that WOW me like HydraFacial does – and I’m not just saying that because I work for the company; my skin has never been healthier than it is right now. Th e HydraFacial treatment literally sucks out all the gunk out of the pores to make you feel and look cleaner than ever. Th e results improve aft er every treatment, so you can easily monitor your skin health journey and identify which Boosters work for you. In addition to my monthly treatments, I use the ZO Skin Brightening System to manage my melasma and congestion at home, which helps prolong the HydraFacial glow. How can you experience a HydraFacial? ydraFacial is a global brand, so no matter where you live, there is likely a HydraFacial provider nearby. HTh e company also hosts a number of community events that will likely resume in July, so if you hear of one near you, please stop by to meet local providers and experience the HydraFacial vibe – you may see me there too! In the meantime, take the Skin Health Assessment for your skin health score (my last score was 72 – yikes!), a customized treatment plan, and link to fi nd a provider near you. Oh, and please ask to see your “Gunkie” aft er your HydraFacial – you can thank me later! 2020 SEPTEMBER ���.������������.��� Links HydraFacial.com The HydraFacial Treatment ZO Skin Health Alastin To learn more about this amazing treatment, Sente please go to HydraFacial.com or fi nd me on Circadia Instagram @thebeautysaint to ask questions directly.

Blazers are being , swapped for hoodies and slacks for sweatpants or in many S ES TILL RESS cases… no pants. While I am all for comfort and conve- TYLE Y nience, it’s important that we consider the psychological effects S D of getting dressed. Simply moving from the bed to the computer OU ET while still in your pajamas is doing no favors for anyone. Here are Y G some things to think about and tips for WFH (work from home) style: TO 1 EED N Stick to a morning routine. It’s ok to skip the makeup but general grooming, brushing your hair, etc will go a long way for setting the tone psychologically that it is time to shift into work mode. My morning routine is still basically the same, with some minor adjustments. I make breakfast, shower and dress. The things that have changed are that I’m only applying moisturizer with no foundation as I’m loving this break for my skin. My hair now lives in a ponytail as I’m no longer fussing with a flat iron and my outfits are admittedly, much more comfortable as I can’t be bothered with anything that doesn’t have an elastic waist band. However, this morning routine helps to set boundaries between personal time and work time.This can increase productivity and make it easier to shift into personal time when clear lines are drawn—And clear lines need to be drawn to avoid fatigue and burn out that can occur when your mind starts to feel that it is always at work While I am all for comfort and convenience, it ’s important that we consider the psychological effects of getting dressed. www.flipmagazine.net SEPTEMBER 2020 SEPTEMBER www.flipmagazine.net 4 2 WFH ED S , Stick to a morning routine.
