Pros: Engaging

Best Uses: Young

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

My 9 month old loves these books- she has one in her crib (that usually is on her face when she falls asleep) I keep ine in the stroller and one in the carseat. They are washable and she loves holding them. I may get the jungle books to go with the farm animals we already have

Why Exfoliate My Skin?

This is a crucial step in caring for your skin. Exfoliating reveals the healthier layers of skin when the surface layer is removed. Your skin will glow when using the correct products! Acne & congested skins benefit greatly since acne is caused by a buildup of dead skin cells & bacteria. Pigmentation can be corrected & prevented with professional exfoliation, sunscreens & serums. You have a variety of choices for home exfoliation-our products include granular scrubs, masques, alpha hydroxy acids, glycolic, lactic, l-acsorbic, ferulic- the list goes on & on.

Note: Users of Accutane, Retin A & certain other prescriptions from your dermatologist sensitize & thin the skin. Therefore these users cannot exfoliate or permanent skin damage can occur.

Professional exfoliation services we offer include:
Microdermabrasion
Skinceuticals Peels for Acne or Pigmentation
Dermalogica's Professional Treatments:
Enzyme Peel oily, acne
Bio Peel sensitive
Exfoliator 26 during our facial series as a booster &

dry skin- 1-2 times a week
oily/acne skins-2-3 times a week
mature-daily with skinceuticals serums CE Ferulic or C +AHA
sensitive-daily microfoliant 1-2x a week to start, increase as needed (I use this on my 6 month old)

Girls- got a moustache & it's not from milk?

It's a common problem that can appear as early as pre teen & as late a the nursing home. Weather you have just a shadow, a little in the corners or thick hair like a mans mustache you can conceal & rid yourself of this unsightly problem.

Here are your choices:
Permanent Removal-Electrolysis
Long Term Reduction-Laser & IPL
Temporary/painless-shaving, bleaching, depilatory(like nair)
Temporary/slight discomfort-waxing, threading, tweezing

At The Primping Place we offer electrolysis (free consultation) & waxing and have retail shavers, nose/ear trimmers, bleach & depilatories.
We are researching the IPL.

Why electrolysis over laser, waxing & other temporary methods?

1. Electrolysis is tried & truly permanent.
2. Tweezing & waxing can cause more hair growth and distort the follicles causing ingrown hairs.
3. Bleach & depilatories can sensitize your skin & cause pigmentation.
4. Waxing will remove everything- example if you have just sporadic hairs electrolysis can just get those hairs where waxing would leave you with a "smooth square without hair" looking unnatural, especially on fuzzy faces.
5. Electrolysis is best to remove ingrown hairs.
6. Electrolysis does not cause razor burn.
7. Electrolysis works on all skin types & all hair pigments.
8. With electrolysis the area being treated can look natural unlike other methods- areas can be thinned out a little at a time.
10. Laser works differently on everyone. In time it will improve- however with electrolysis you know what to expect. Permanent Hair Removal! Let others be the Guinea Pigs!

PS If you go somewhere like our Primping Place you can get deals like free consultation, prepay discounts & referral bonuses.

Ingrown Hair and Razor Burn

For treating ingrown hairs & razorburn try Tend Skin & PFB Vanish-also works great for Electrolysis, Laser & Brazilian Waxing. Tend Skin is stronger for more resistant hairs & I suggest to dilute with witch hazel- we use Thayers with Aloe Vera. PFB Vanish comes ready to use in a convenient roll on gel form. Both are available through our site with a $ back guarantee! For after care directions for electrolysis go to my FAQ site page. www.ThePrimpingPlace.com/faq.html
