To minimize soreness after a massage, make sure to hydrate properly, communicate with your massage therapist about pressure and target areas.
Use heat or ice therapy as needed, stretch before and after your massage session, rest and recover afterwards. Try self-massage techniques or Epsom salt baths at home, and incorporate light exercise or stretching into your routine. Hydration Hydration is essential before and after a massage. It helps the body eliminate toxins released during the massage, which can cause soreness if left in the system. Dehydration causes fatigue and pain in general; hence an increase of water intake post-massage helps relieve this discomfort. So be sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your body hydrated as much as possible. Also, vegetable juice or coconut water can also provide additional hydration while providing electrolytes that aid in preventing stiffness caused by excessive exercise or intense massages.

![]() We're excited to discuss our amazing flagship product, CAVIPLLA+O2®, from HOUSE OF PLLA®! This product has been a fan favorite for quite some time! We want to emphasize that our CAVIPLLA+O2® is an all-natural oxygenating product, and we do not add any chemicals to create the bubbling effect. The performance of the bubbles depends on your skin condition. However, you will still receive 100% of the benefits whether you observe the bubbling or not. When you see the bubbling in action, you can do additional massaging, which is an added benefit compared to just applying it. However, there is no difference in results, as the product will penetrate whether you see bubbles or not! In fact, we have clients who do not have extra time and purposely layer other products prior to just applying it to avoid the bubbling performance. ![]() I'm ssso excited to be included!

Don’t worry, I am not here to scold you for eating too many chips or cookies for comfort because, honestly, this isn’t the worst way that stress causes weight gain. Real adrenal stress weight gain comes from actual physiological changes that happen when your body is under chronic stress. Adrenal stress alters your hormones, setting your body up to pack on extra pounds. A telltale sign of weight gain caused by adrenal stress is midsection weight gain. Stress-related belly fat is so difficult to lose once it appears because adrenal stress continuously “feeds” this fat, keeping it locked in place. But here’s the good news — once you understand what’s going on in your body during long periods of stress, you will have ways to correct underlying imbalances so your body can finally let go of stubborn weight gain. Let’s find out how this works. Doctors Explain Exactly Why Your Skin May Look "Crepey" As You Age, And What You Can Do About It6/17/2024 ![]() “Crepey skin is primarily an aesthetic concern but it can also be indicative of potential health issues,” board-certified dermatologist Dr. Shoshana Marmon told HuffPost. “Since it usually develops as a result of substantial sun damage, individuals with crepey skin may be at increased risk for the development of skin cancer. Additionally, since crepey skin is thinner and less elastic, it may be more susceptible to bruising and tearing, which could lead to infection if not properly cared for.” Plenty of creams and lotions claim to alleviate the appearance of crepey skin, and anyone who wants to take care of it quickly can seek doctor-administered treatments. We spoke with experts who weighed in on what works best and whether there’s anything you can do to prevent crepey skin from forming in the first place. Why and when crepey skin forms As Marmon hinted, crepey skin primarily results from sun exposure. “A frequent misunderstanding is that crepey skin develops solely from aging, but lifestyle factors like sun exposure and smoking are significant contributors,” she said. “While everyone is susceptible to crepey skin, people with lighter skin tones, who are more prone to sun damage, are particularly at risk.” Sun exposure causes the skin to lose volume due to dehydration. “It doesn’t store water the same because the integrity of the skin is damaged,” board-certified dermatologist Dr. Shani Francis told HuffPost. That leads to degradation of collagen and elastin, the proteins that hold water and therefore help the skin keep its structure. Any ultraviolet exposure, even from tanning beds, can lead to the formation of crepey skin. “It’s really not the sun itself — it’s ultraviolet radiation,” Francis explained. “Any type of ultraviolet radiation exposure is going to damage and degrade the collagen and the elastin tissues.” Genetics play a factor, too. “If you look at your parents, if they have crepey skin, you know you need to start the process of preventing a little bit earlier,” Francis said. According to Marmon, many women begin to notice crepey skin around the time they hit menopause because the drop in estrogen during that time speeds up the decrease in collagen and elastin, resulting in a thinning of the skin with a loss of moisture and fat. “It starts around middle age and gets worse as we age,” Francis reiterated. “The elastic fibers, they start off very strong. Twenty-something-, 30-something-year-olds, their skin snaps right back. Once you get to 40, it doesn’t quite work that way.” Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Noëlle S. Sherber told HuffPost that crepey skin from UV damage usually shows up around the eyes, the chest and the backs of the hands. Some people also see it above the knees and on the inner arms. ![]() With so many beverages to choose from you may ask——why water? 🤔 I’ll tell you!

I have been an esthetician for over 30 years. Helping my clients to go forth confidently through all the seasons of their lives is my passion. Having been a teenager with acne I know how a "Bad Skin" day can wreck havoc with your confidence. ![]() Mar 8th, 2024 Marisa Sobotka Have you found yourself scrolling through social media and feeling frustrated by the often misleading information on skin care treatments and products recommended by influencers without an esthetic license? There are many trendy products that go viral on social platforms, with the most recent string grabbing the attention of a younger population of consumers. Creators on these apps have shared personal accounts of interactions in beauty retailers like Sephora and Ulta, in which tween and teen customers are purchasing skin care products that are aimed for more mature age ranges. The specific products that have become all the rage with this clientele contain potentially harmful ingredients like retinol, added fragrances and harsh exfoliants. ![]() By now, you’ve probably seen in my office pictures of ‘fascia’ or heard about the term ‘fascia’, ‘gentle scar therapy’, or ‘myofascial release’. As it turns out, this fascia system plays a hugely crucial role in the way your body functions, moves, and maintains its shape. Read below to learn more about the Tissue Around Your Muscles AND How Does Fascia Cause Pain? “We thought fascia was nothing, but now we know that it is everything.” –Jean Claude Guimberteau, MD THE TISSUE AROUND YOUR MUSCLES Fascia is a single, seamless mesh that spans the entire body, allowing for connection and communication between all its various parts. It’s made up of fibrous glycoproteins that surround and permeate every muscle, bone, nerve, tendon, ligament and organ in the body. These fibers are organized in different directions, creating a web-like covering that can adapt to the body’s movement, no matter which way it’s being pulled. It’s also responsible for maintaining structural integrity – holding everything together – and allowing for coordinated movement, flexibility, and stability. In other words, think of your fascia like a spandex bodysuit that you wear under instead of over your skin. Some fascia is thin, like the pericardium surrounding the heart, and some is thick, like the tough iliotibial (IT) band, that runs down along the side of your thighs. Without fascia holding everything in place, fluid would gather at your feet, your organs would be loose and float around freely, and your muscles would literally fall apart as soon as you tried to use them. ![]() Kate Otto Macuch, spiritual medium and psychic, will be delivering messages from friends, family and spirit guides on "the Other Side" to a small audience at SBaba Skincare.
