Blame it on the current cold-weather front, or the (official) nearness of the holidays, but we’re already knee-deep in the gifting spirit. So much so that, starting today, we’ve kicked off our holiday giveaway series on Facebook and Twitter. How does it work? Simple.

For the next four weeks, we’ll post a question on Facebook and Twitter each Monday. To enter, “like” and “follow” our social pages, respectively, and answer the question at hand. Each Friday, we’ll pick a winner via random.org, and contact him/her accordingly. Putting yourself in the running for an awesome gift is arguably one of the easiest things you’ll do all holiday season long.

Don’t miss out on this week’s prize: a $50 milk + honey gift certificate (calorie-free and never expires!). Enter here and here.

Good luck, and stay tuned!

We are very excited to welcome our newest stylist, Jenna, to our SALON by milk + honey 2nd Street District team! You can meet all of our milk + honey stylists right here — Our Team. Jenna’s rates are $65 for women’s cuts, and $45 for men’s cuts.

Jenna may be a recent addition to Austin — having just moved from Springfield, MO in September — but she already loves our city!

Jenna has been a stylist since 2005, and is excited to continue her career with SALON by milk + honey at the downtown location. Her love of the fashion industry, as well as helping people achieve their dream hair, was what initially inspired her to become a stylist. Now, on top of all that, she has a passion for products and finding the right ones for each person. One of Jenna’s first rules of hair? If you do any chemical process, wash your hair every other day to two days. And her second rule? Dry shampoo is your best friend.

When she is not in the salon, you might find her running along Lady Bird Lake or one of the other beautiful trails Austin has to offer.

Stop by SALON by milk + honey 2nd Street District for a quick consultation or call us to set up an appointment, 512.236.1115.

The Proof is in the Peel

October 31, 2013

CosMedix has a wonderful series of articles available to help take your skin care to the next level. Click here to begin your journey.

milk + honey offers Peels You Can Have Today and Tomorrow Peels (which require advanced preparation). This article focuses on Peels You Can Have Today.

Peels with the power to change the skin (and the results to prove it)

Few cosmetic treatments can change the skin’s appearance more dramatically than a professional facial peel. From correcting troublesome conditions, like acne or hyperpigmentation, to simply giving the skin a rejuvenating “lift,” peels exist for a variety of purposes. However, navigating the bloated peel market all alone–and the claims that each product makes–can be a daunting task. If you’re considering a facial peel, the myriad choices available can seem overwhelming without a solid benchmark for comparison. And for most people, that benchmark is the proof that a product performs as promised.

For CosMedix cosmeceuticals, proof is easy to come by. Known worldwide as the answer to a healthy complexion without irritation, CosMedix has backed its product claims with hard evidence for years. And with a proven collection of non-wounding peels for all skin types, you won’t have to scour the earth to find the right treatment for your unique concerns.

For those looking to correct superficial flaws and revitalize the skin, Today’s Peels by CosMedix offer a gentle, no-downtime alternative to harsh chemical peels. Instead of forcing the skin to repair itself with damaging chemicals, CosMedix works with the skin’s own chemistry to encourage healthy exfoliation and renewal. Using chirally correct ingredients–ingredients purified at the molecular level for maximum potency with minimal irritation risk–Today’s Peels require no prior preparation, yet are powerful enough to dramatically diminish the appearance of fine lines, dark spots, oily and acne-prone skin.

Blueberry Smoothie
Combining antioxidant blueberry extract with stimulating L-lactic acid and blue corn meal, Blueberry Smoothie is a powerful yet gentle exfoliating peel and scrub. An exceptional blemish treatment, this light peel effectively corrects an assortment of superficial skin concerns, from sun damage to multiple degrees of discoloration. So impressive are its results that Blueberry Smoothie is among CosMedix’s top-selling professional treatments.

Pomegranate Peel
Designed to even out the top layers of the skin, Pomegranate Peel infuses the skin with powerful antioxidants while stimulating collagen to smooth over rough skin and correct uneven texture and tone. Combining 15 percent L-lactic acid–a chirally correct alpha hydroxyl acid derived from milk–with some of nature’s most effective free radical fighters, including red wine resveratrol, pomegranate seed oil and astaxanthin–a marine carotenoid 500 times more potent than vitamin E–Pomegranate Peel is remarkably gentle catalyst for change.

Benefit Peel
Benefit Peel truly is a peel for all skin types. Utilizing encapsulated retinol, this stimulating antioxidant peel is especially effective at neutralizing hyperpigmented, problem and prematurely aged skin types. In fact, in recent clinical testing, 91 percent of Benefit Peel recipients reported brighter skin, more uniform tone and less apparent wrinkles in just six weeks.

Purity Peel
A unique blend of five chirally correct acids, Purity Peel is the answer to oily and acne-prone skin. Made with 10 percent encapsulated retinol and over four percent salicylic acid and L-TCA complex, this maximum strength clarifying peel effectively exfoliates problem skin, unclogs pores and eliminates toxins and impurities with amazing results. In clinical testing, over 95 percent reported clearer skin and fewer and less severe breakouts in just four weeks.
