What is Acne?

I know from experience that acne is an incredibly frustrating condition with far reaching effects. Not only can acne lesions cause scarring and other permanent damage to the skin, they also have a huge effect on self confidence. While acne cannot necessarily be "cured" the good news is that it can be managed until you hopefully grow out of it (which not all people do). Acne management requires a close working relationship with your esthetician and a dedication to proper home care, professional treatments and lifestyle choices. As a skin care professional, I will do my part to get you…

I know, I know... It's about time! After 6 months of using my new scheduling software, I am finally comfortable activating online booking. For the time being, clients will only be able to "request" appointments for me to review and confirm- I'm a little concerned about things getting double booked!

Here Comes the Sun! Mindful Seasonal Skin Care

Spring is here, and summer is right around the corner. I love this time of year. There's a small army of birds swarming my backyard on a daily basis. In the evening the orchestra of crickets and frogs is quickly approaching the point of being deafening. Lush plant growth has exploded from winter dormancy, painting the world a vibrant, tender green and the flowers I planted in years past are rewarding me with their gorgeous blooms. There's no doubt about it, the world has come back to life all around us. All I want to do this time of year…

Andrea Lawrence Skin Care is Five Years Old!

Today I am celebrating my fifth year in business! I cannot thank all of my amazing clients enough for sticking by me for the past five years and for sending me so many referrals. I feel incredibly privileged to be your go to source for beauty and relaxation, and I hope you all know how much your business and friendship means to me!

Introducing the 2013 Signature Facial… The Antiox Ex-fusion!

Give your skin a serious workout! I am so excited to be bringing you a wonderful new facial protocol from Rhonda Allison - I gave myself this treatment today (alas, not quite the same as getting it from someone else!) and my previously sluggish winter skin is now glowing and invigorated! This Facial is all about breaking through the surface of your skin with mild but effective enzyme exfoliants and then feeding it back concentrated antioxidants, peptides and hydrators. This treatment utilizes alternating sensations of hot and cold to stimulate the skin, help firm, tone and accelerate product penetration. It's a winning combination,…

Frequently Asked Questions Series: All about waxing…

I get asked a lot of the same questions every day regarding various waxing services. Here are my answers to some of the most common questions I get. Do you use hard wax or strip wax? I use both. More and more clients are becoming aware of the advantages of hard wax over strip wax when it comes to pain and irritation. Hard wax is indeed less irritating to the skin and most people find it to be less painful. I always use hard wax on the face, the underarms and the labia with brazilian waxes unless otherwise needed. I do…
