BySheFor - Cold Therapy
In the last few years I have expanded my knowledge of the use and benefit of cold therapy. Specifically for skin health, cold water therapy has been shown to reduce inflammation, stimulate collagen production, and regulate sebum production, leading to improved skin elasticity, reduced pore size, and a healthier complexion. As an esthetician I have now discovered that with it’s ability to reduce swelling for ailments it can also reduce the swelling and redness from acne. If your skin concerns include Acne, Hydration, Anti-aging, and Rosacea. Then a cold pressed facial with cold pressed products would change your life, as it has for me!
Recently at the top of 2024, I had an unfortunate incident with a chemical burn on my eyes and eyebrows. This then caused two different forms of dermatitis to appear on areas of my face and body. This occurred through the use of (PPD) , PPD, or para-phenylenediamine, is a chemical found in many permanent hair dyes. It's used in concentrations of about 4% and reacts with hydrogen peroxide to permanently bind color to hair. PPD is also known to be a skin sensitizer and can lead to allergic reactions. PPD containing hair dyes have been associated with cancer and mutagenicity. This chemical was used in a brow tinting solution applied on me by a licensed esthetician, who I hope was unaware of the dangerous chemical that was in her product. I speak more about my incident it on my youtube channel, but to shorten the story I healed myself by using no topical medications and the use of Cryo Sticks. Sun up to sun down I made sure to keep them at my side to use when ever i felt pain, itchiness, or swelling and this has allowed me to heal much faster than originally projected.

This Is Essential
It all begins with enhancing our health from the inside out through holistic therapy. This type of therapy focuses on treating the entire person by integrating spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional well-being. The main goal of holistic therapy is to assist individuals in gaining a deeper understanding of themselves on all these different levels. One incredibly effective treatment that stands out for me is the holistic facial. Holistic facials treat both the skin and the individual as a whole, taking into account the bigger picture to identify the root causes of skin imbalances and provide energetic support for the mind, body, and soul to maintain equilibrium. Many holistic therapists prefer to use organic and environmentally friendly products, and some even create custom products such as facial masks, cleansers, and natural serums by hand for each client. Gua Sha and wood therapy are often incorporated into holistic facials as natural methods to sculpt and achieve the desired SNATCHED effect. While everyone has their own preferences for facials, at JustTheEssentials, we view holistic practices as a crucial component of overall well-being.

Skin Care For Men
BySheForMen! As essential as skin care is for women, it should be the same for men. Now, just because men don’t wear makeup and don’t get more advanced facial treatments doesn’t mean that they don’t experience breakouts or congestion. Men do need to keep their skin maintained and healthy just like everyone else! For my bearded gentlemen, you do not have to exclude yourself from enjoying any of the luxuries that come with skin care treatments just because you have a beard. You can indulge in various treatments such as Microdermabrasion, Hydra-facial, Nano-Microneedling, Chemical Peels, Lymphatic Drainage, Various Facial Masks, Holistic Facials, Red Light Therapy, and much more. My favorite facial treatment to perform on men, especially those with beards, is microdermabrasion! This procedure helps rid the skin of dead cells, unclogs pores, and promotes healthy blood circulation. Men with beards or dry skin can benefit greatly from this treatment, as the area under their beards often remains untouched, leading to potential issues like dead skin buildup, blackheads, or acne. To maintain healthy skin, especially in areas prone to such issues, it is advisable to have at least one microdermabrasion treatment per month.
Here are a few other beauty treatments for men!
Medical Dark Circle Correction:
For deep bags and dark circles under the eyes, there are various medical treatments that have an instant rejuvenating effect. Combined techniques with cross-linked hyaluronic acid, local depigmenting agents and mesotherapy with biomimetic peptides can be used to improve the appearance of this area.
Lip Hydration:
Many men want to reduce fine lines on their lips, restore softness and improve their structure, but without adding volume or changing their shape. This is done with cross-linked hyaluronic acid fillers, after a personalized diagnosis and using the exclusive mesoestetic® techniques. Lip hydration would also do wonders for the men that smoke, this service will help to bring the lips back to maximum hydration and may even help to brighten the lips as well.
Chin Correction:
Many men want to enhance their features, especially the jaw and chin, to harmonize their face. Chin correction is a treatment indicated to give volume and projection to the chin area with cross-linked hyaluronic acid, rejuvenating and marking the features, obtaining spectacular results instantly.
Botulinum Toxin:
Most probably, this substance, better known as botox, is familiar to you. Botulinum toxin relaxes and improves the appearance of the upper third of the face, reducing or erasing wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows and crow's feet. You may be surprised to learn that in addition to treating the signs of aging, it also treats excessive sweating on the palms of the hands, underarms and soles of the feet.
Hair Mesotherapy:
Hair loss is one of the main concerns of men. This treatment consists of several sessions in which the doctor applies substances and nutrients to the scalp by means of intradermal micro-injections. In this way, the hair tissue is stimulated, and the blood circulation is activated, which increases thickness, improves shine and slows down hair loss.
