Hot Fuzz
Sugaring Hair Removal at Ursula's About Phace

 


Between the company candy canes and the book club cookie exchange, you’ve just about OD’d on sugar.  But here’s one treat still worth considering: The sugaring hair removal treatment at Ursula’s About Phace.  After much tinkering, aesthetician Elina Safin came up with a recipe using sugar and lemon juice mixed with soothing lavender and naturally antiseptic tea tree oil.
First, she spreads the warm concoction on the offending area (it’s great for sensitive spots like the chin, upper lip, pits, or fuzzy arms), then she gently pulls it off with a gauze pad. Hair grows back more slowly

than before, and Safin says repeated treatments improve the skin’s structure.
Plus, it doesn’t leave you with one less layer of skin like waxing, so it really doesn’t hurt.
And that’s sweet.

 

Available at Ursula’s About Phace, 1700 Sansom Street, suite 201 (215-557-1562 or aboutphace201.com).

Dear Friends: Beginning January 1, 2010 I will be posting a new Beauty fact/tip for every day of this new year both on this site (and my new blog ... coming soon) under the heading:   

 

 URSULA'S 365 PHace PHacts!  Enjoy!Share.Discuss.

 

PHace PHact #38:

A well sifted powder is the best powder to use when setting your makeup.

 

PHace PHact #37:

Take tissue and press onto the skin to absorb cream from foundation, before you set your foundation with

powder.

 

PHace PHact #36:

 Warm color eyes, such as brown, sparkle more when surrounded by cool colors - colors made with blue.

 

PHace PHact #35:

Cool color eyes, such as blue, sparkle more when surrounded by warm colors - colors made with yellow.

 

PHace PHact #34:

Apply a light shade of shimmer down the center of your nose to give the illusion of a perfectly straight nose.

 

PHace PHact #33:

To give a round shape face more defined cheek bones, use a bronzer or deep shade of blush as a contour, by blending on the cheek bone - only.

 

PHace PHact #32:

 

It's a fact! Airbrush Makeup is the ULTIMATE makeup. The most natural finish and the most durable wear.

 

PHace PHact #31:

Use water proof mascara for special occassions. If used daily, water proof formula  will dry natural lashes causing them to become dry, and brittle which leads to breakage and fall outs.

 

PHace PHact #30:

When adding false lashes to your makeover, remember to apply eye shadow before you appling lashes and eyeliner after!

 

PHace PHact #29:

 

Sleeping with a humidifier will dramatically dercrease the cances of skin dehydration during the winter months.

 

PHace PHact #28:

 

If you need to freshen up your look  for after workactivities, mist your face with a water or vitamin toner and blot before adjusting color.

 

PHace PHact #27:

 

Blend your foundation over you lips to neutralize deep tones. Now you can wear the lightest shades of the seasons!

 

PHace PHact #26:

 

A (flesh color) matte ,powder eyeshadow all over you eyelid and crease works as an effective eyeshadow base.

 

PHace PHact #25:

 

if you have age spots, or old acne marks, begin using a treatment product with hydoquinone (which blocks melanin - new pigment formation in the skin).

 

PHace PHact #24:

Lip brushes are used to fill in the small corners of the lips,

use the lip stick (from the tube) to fill in all other areas.

 

PHace PHact #23:

 

Using a damp shadow brush on powdered eyeshadow will make the color (of the shadow) more vibrant

 and longer wearing.

 

PHace PHact #22:

 

Due to build up of dead skin cells, our skin's complexion can look dull. A facial (every 30 days)

 is a great way to remove the old [skin] and deeply condition the new.

 

PHace PHact #21:

Lipshines offers women the best of both worlds; Lip conditioning with less color than lipstick,

 

yet more color than a gloss.

PHace PHact #20:

 

A Bronzer is wo(man's) best friend, but it's not a foundation.  Foundations balance - Bronzers

 highlight the projected area of the face.

 

PHace PHact #19:

 

 Stop creating holes in your eyebrows (by tweeing out the g.r.a.y hairs) ...  instead simply color

them with brow powder and/or pencil!

 

PHace PHact #18:

 

Blush wears [roughly] three hours before fading. To keep your blush on all day long,

apply a holding powder on top of your blush.

 

PHace PHact #17:

To protect your lashes, use a lash curler BEFORE you apply your mascara.

 

PHace PHact #16:

 

Exfoliating your lips [with a clean tooth brush] will allow your lip conditioner to penetrate

and moisturize more effectively.

 

PHace PHact #15:

 

Apply skin treatment products [to face] at bedtime. Remember, when your body is resting

your skin is active working hard to absorb the nutrients in the product you applied.

 

PHace PHact #14:

 

Use makeup brushes with synthetic hairs to apply cream products, such as foundations and concealers. Synthetic hairs repel the product,  so cream makeup goes directly on the skin and does not build up

in the brush.

 

PHace PHact #13:

 

When applying [liquid] makeup by hand, remember the "makeup fingers" are the middle and/or ring fingers; They are the cleanest and the weakest fingers on the hand.

 

PHace PHact #12:

 

Want your eye to appear larger ...?  Use a white pencil along the lower rim of  the eye.

 

PHace PHact #11:

 

Brow pencils are used to define and create shape of the eye brow. But whether you fill in or define,

the most important thing to do  is to comb or brush the brow (afterwards).

 

PHace PHact #10:

 

Use Brow powders (as fillers) to fill in light spaces of the eyeybrow.

 

PHace PHact #9:

 

The touch involved in Makeup applications and Facial massage have been shown to release

pleasure giving endorphins  while at the same time, lowering stress hormone levels.

 

Concealers balance and brighten under the eyes, Correcters neutralize colors under the eyes such as

 

PHace PHact #8:  To prevent flaking and dry patches during the winter months, use an oil based

cleanser and moisturizer to lock in moisture and block out the cold!

 

PHace PHact #7:  Lip gloss ws not made to go all around the world ... it goes on two places:

The pout (center bottom lip) and the bow.

 

 

PHace PHact #6:  The apples of the cheeks are the starting point for perfectly positioned blush -

 and they only show up when you smile. So, smile! You'll feel better and your blush will be even.

 

PHace PHact #5:  brows are essential to the balance of your face. There should be two,

and they should: Start at the tear duck, arch at the outside of your pupil, and end at the eye's

outter corner.

 

 

PHace PHact #4: 

Our skin ( the PHACE in particular) is a live organ that absorbs close to 90% of whatever is floating

 in the air. So, protect your skin and look great at the same time by wearing an UAPH vitamin

& mineral foundation.

 

PHace PHact #3: 

Lip liner pencils are the most inexpensive way to give your lips instant fullness. Line on top of your

 natural lip line (not underneath), your friends will swear you had an injection!

 

PHace PHact #2:  Want to  keep your mascara from smearing ... ? Let the mascara dry (65 seconds -

 a true count, with Mississippies in between) after coating the top row [of lashes] before moving on to the bottom row.

 

 PHace PHact #1:  

Mushing your lips together is the same as blotting your lipstick off with a tissue, causing your

lip color to ware off faster ... So don't mush!
