Is keeping up with the Kardashians putting a dent in your pocket book?
Doesn’t almost seem as if everywhere you turn there is a tween with freshly plumped lips and a 20 year old with botoxed eyebrows. So where does one start and most importantly, stop with cosmetic procedures?
Team LaBeautyGuide wishes to share with you friendly cosmetics reviews on some of America’s top beauty secrets that keeps celebrities looking young and fabulous in the 21st century.
Let’s begin with the basics, these are some typical beauty trends that most women find themselves doing on a weekly to monthly basis in order to keep looking fresh and manicured. The face, hair and nails are considered to be the first physical features society pays attention to most upon glance. In a socially influenced world, we meet people on a daily basis and first impressions are everything. Simple gestures like shaking someone’s hand, can change how they feel about you; having sweaty or dry hands, as well as chipped nails can leave the wrong impression.
Why not splurge a bit and treat yourself to a Paraffin wax? Paraffin wax is a type of gel nail manicure. The hands are dipped in melted paraffin wax for softening and moisturizing of the skin. Gel nails will always have your nails looking picture perfect and strong. This type of manicure is chip free guaranteed and will be for at least two weeks.
Gel nails and Paraffin wax manicures and pedicures typically cost $130 to $300 including gratuity.
There are tons of beauty products and treatments that promise to keep us looking and feeling young. So, how does one pick products or procedures that is right for your unique self and lifestyle? Here are the three golden rules on picking the proper products/procedures that are right for you.
- Research is key in finding more information on cosmetics and procedures we are interested in trying for ourselves.
- Keeping an open mind and realistic expectations.
- Patience.
Society has trained our expectations to be very high in order to keep up with social media beauty trends and as a result, patience is sometimes overlooked. These expectations of “instant gratification” may sometimes pressure some individuals to make irrational decisions when it comes to purchasing cosmetics or even under go surgical procedures.
Irrational decisions such as these can result in perfect candidates for Bravo’s hit show “Botched”.
Sure “Botched” is very entertaining and we all love watching Dr. Nassif and Dr. Dubrow, but no one wants to be the botched patient. Being well informed of any product or procedure never goes out of style.
Transitioning into your 30’s doesn’t always come easy, learning to manage time is typically going to be the greatest task as an adult. Time management is always going to be a challenge, especially when it comes to beauty. Simple beauty routines such as washing your face/hair with a myriad of different products can be a complete time killer. It’s crucial to adopt time efficient habits, even if it means spending a little more money to ensure our looks stay polished as long as possible. There are routines and products in your 30’s you’ll discover and then wonder how you ever went through your 20’s without them. One of these products is the Brazilian Blow out.
Women who possess thicker hair know how time consuming it can be to dry and style thick/coarse hair. Styling thick hair becomes an even more difficult of a task as it begins to mature. Women can cut more than half of their hair styling time for at least 3 months after a professional Brazilian Blow out. Enjoy soft and silky hair for as long as 3 months, requiring minimal hair styling with the recommended hair products post Brazilian Blow Out.
The cost for soft and manageable locks of hair can set you back $150-300 dollars depending on hair salon and hair length.
From our hair to our faces.
Color correcting, contour and highlighting makeup techniques can only cover the signs of aging by so much. Makeup can’t fight gravity and layers of makeup can potentially age an individual by drying out their skin.
Botox is always a great introduction to the beautiful world of cosmetics and cosmetic surgery. Botox should be administered by a registered nurse or a board certified plastic surgeon. Botox is designed to freeze frowning muscles and crows feet surrounding the eyes.
Botox may seem a little extreme for most, but is also considered a beautiful thing for many interested in reducing the time invested on applying makeup and/or the amount of makeup products consumed to cover signs of aging.
Juvederm is often used to help fill in frown lines, hallowed cheeks and enhance lips.
All these procedures are done in office and should be done in moderation. The key is to look refreshed and rejuvenated. These procedures are great beauty investments and last anywhere from 6 months to a year.
Allow 3 days to a week for Botox to show results and any post fillers swelling to go down. These in office procedures can cost $300 to $1500. Botox is sold in units and fillers like Juvederm are sold by syringe. If you are experiencing loose skin and under eye bags you can’t cover with makeup, you may be interested in something a little more permanent, like Blepharoplasty. If you are interested in learning more about a blepharoplasty and would like to know of an excellent plastic surgeon, I invite you to visit the offices of Dr. Richard Ellenbogens by checking out his website at www.Beverlyhillsbody.com
Dr. Ellenbogen is most famous for his facial surgical procedure and is THE board certified plastic surgeon of choice for celebrities in Beverly Hills and around the globe.
Skincare, proper nutrition and fitness are key in maintaining a fabulous face and physique. Facials on a monthly basis, followed by a skincare routine that is custom to your skin type immensely improves the condition of your skin/face. It’s best to have facials done by a skincare line that is both accessible and effective. A skincare line favored by celebrities and their aesthetician is Dermalogica.
An investment in yourself always pays the best interest.
It may seem like you’re potentially going to be spending a lot on looking fabulous in your 30’s, but It’s actually more of how much you are going to gain. It is a great feeling knowing you’re able to bounce out of bed in the morning, confidentially take a quick shower and knowing that your morning beautifying routine will no longer take hours to complete. A simple routine like shaving that can take over 15mins to accomplish, is now something of the past thanks to laser hair removal. There is now no point in dealing with stubby legs or the thought of constantly buying razor blades. The years of shaving can add up and it seems like razors are only getting more expensive with time. You can now enjoy fuzz free, smooth legs all summer long without having to deal with creams, waxes or razors.
Laser Hair Removal is so much more affordable today than it has ever been before. Laser hair removal sessions start at as low as $50 dollars per area like bikini to $150 for larger areas like full leg. You’ll notice a major difference in your hair growth after each session. Patients can notice their hair growth to completely stop in as little as 4 sessions. While results are different for all patients, some may notice results sooner than others.
The feeling of confidence is priceless, gift yourself the designer body you’ve always dreamed of.
It’s not uncommon for the average 30year old to have undergone a cosmetic procedure in their 20’s. In fact, the most common procedures are breast augmentation, liposuction and rhinoplasty. It’s also not uncommon for patients to choose a new surgeon around 10 year mark when it’s time to replace breast implants, get a lift, liposuction and/or a rhinoplasty touch up. Put your trust in a surgeon that is board certified with years of experience and who has good yelp reviews. Everyone yelps these days and it’s a great help when you are doing research on a plastic surgeon you are interested in for your procedure of choice.
