Electrolysis Or Waxing?

Many women today are seeking alternatives from waxing for hair removal. One option on the rise is Electrolysis, which involves permanently removing the hair at its root and is perfectly safe. A very fine, sterilized needle or probe is inserted into the hair follicle that is attached to a machine that releases a quick, mild current of heat, causing the hair to come free from the bottom of the hair follicle. Once released, the hair is lifted out with tweezers. In a recent survey, women who had been waxing for years and developed sensitivity to this method like Electrolysis as an alternative.

The safety is dependent on the operator, and to prevent infection some professional Electrologist use disposable needles which are discarded after each use or they will save your personal needle for your next visit. It will take repeated visits for all the hair to be removed. Since an Electrologist can only treat visible hairs, a waiting period allows the dormant hairs to begin growing so they can be removed. Eventually visits become less frequent, therefore Electrolysis can prove to be more cost-effective than waxing in the long run, because the results are permanent. This can also be a gentler alternative for your skin versus waxing.

Susan Hersh Vivmag Interview My Beauty Revolution

Have you bumped into someone who you graduated high school with and they seem to the look the same from twenty five years ago? This could be good, if you are thinking she still has that innocent glow, blemish free skin and shiny lustrous hair. If your classmate seems too familiar, it could be that she has not changed her hair style, still insists on wearing that blue powder eye shadow or has eyebrows that are growing like a field of grass.

Anne M. Russell, editor in chief, Vivmag asked me to go back to my historic prom photo that was taken May 1980 and compare myself to how I approach make-up today and the change in my appearance to current status. The biggest change in my make-up application was that I did not use foundation as a student, had very little color on my eyes and a very light coat of mascara. Now I am more experimental with make-up trying new colors for the eyes and defining the eyes with a light smoked shadow. Two coats of mascara is needed today to build the lashes and create more definition. The only thing that remains the same is lip gloss minus the cherry flavor I sported in H.S., but still gives me a more youthful, natural sexy appeal.

Take at look in the mirror and think back to your high school days, and ask yourself what changes have you made with make-up and hair? If your mind is blank this is not a good sign. To keep your look fresh and current read magazines that define modern beauty and show the current make-up trends. Find a make-up consultant at a reputable retail store and bring in the make-up look that you feel is worthy for yourself and see if this is the right direction or if you need to tweak slightly to enhance your beauty. Step out, and take the time to see how you can take your beautiful features that define you (they belong to no one else) and show the world what you have.

DO NOT BE AFRAID OF CHANGE, AS CHANGE IS LIBERATING!

Susan Hersh Makeover O Magazine

At twenty nine I stopped coloring my hair blonde and the rest is history. My natural color was light brown with a silver streak starting from the temple on the right side. My silver locks have taken on a course of their own without any enhancement from me and I now have more than just a silver streak. The silver is very white and contrasts my young skin creating a unique look that people tend to remember. Many women have asked me how I transitioned from color to silver seeking inspiration and my story is that I found an excellent colorist that took the bleached blonde babe to a very dark blonde. As the hair grew, there was a faint line showing the natural color against the remanent of processed color. I have never looked back and have grown with my silver hair over the years. Going silver is not for every woman that walks this planet, but if your silver is bright not yellow and your complexion is healthy this may be the way to go. It becomes a decision from within to go with nature , make this choice and be free from the financial commitment it takes to maintain processed hair. The Oprah.com link below shows a photograph of myself without any make-up, and afterwards the famous Frederic Fekkai haircut with a complimentary make-up application that transformed me.

Day light savings brings such brightness to life!! Just think about all the things you can do now that you have the lighter part of day on your side. Take 15 minutes in the sun daily for vitamin D and this is very important for the nourishment of our bones. My recommendation is not to over do your time in the sun and remember to wear suntan lotion from your face down to the toes. Enjoy all the outdoor options.
