An expert in color and advanced makeup techniques, Lauren also offers a variety of facials for all skin types. She specializes in glycolic facial peels to regenerate the production of collagen and elastin as well as reduce the appearance of fine lines and scarring; waxing to eliminate unwanted hair; brow makeovers for a well-groomed look, and lash tinting to create “eye opening” appeal.
“One of the challenges of being an licensed esthetician is being an expert on products and ingredients, and navigating through this massive product marketplace to determine which products get the results my clientele wants.” stated Lauren.
She went on to explain how glycolic acid, a derivative of sugar cane, has the smallest molecular size of all the alpha hydroxy acids. Its size enables it to most effectively rejuvenate the skin through deep penetration.
“Free acid concentration is the most important factor. The higher the free acid concentration, the greater the improvement in your skin’s texture, color and tone. Without the appropriate labeling it is impossible for you to know if a product is of high quality or if it will provide maximum benefits to your skin.”
An environmental benefit to using glycolic peels for exfoliation is the formula does not contain those little plastic beads found in so many other products. An article in the scientific journal Orion (May/June, 2007) alerted Lauren to the fact that the polyethylene (plastic) beads wash right down the drain and go on to harm marine life. The tiny particles of polyethylene that scrub the dirt from your face wash straight down the drain and into watersheds and, eventually, oceans.
Her attitude, attention to detail and expertise makes Lauren a perfect addition to the staff at the multi-award winning Iatria Day Spa on Creedmoor Road in North Raleigh.
