Clean slate for teens!

Back to school with a clean slate!

Clean Slate Organic Facial for teens – no fuss, just healthy, clear skin – for now and for the future! 45min …   $75

It’s important that teen girls and boys learn early enough how to gently balance their skin, before things get out of control. It’s my passion to encourage young people in our community to choose healthy diet, sun protection and good skin care practice. I hear almost every day from my clients – “I wish I knew that when I was young!” Often teens hardly wash their faces after sports and before bedtime, or they scrub too much, using harsh drying chemicals, creating a bacteria welcoming zone on their faces. Bring your teen in and help her or him find a healthy balance!

Call or Email me today to book an appointment in the next three weeks (after school appointments book fast!)

Summer skin care tips

The sun, the beach and the ocean waves!

Whether you’re on vacation or running from one summer job to another one, the heat and UV radiation can bring some unwanted skin challenge.

You can still enjoy the sun while changing up your daily skin care to a more gentle and protective routine.

Here are my summer tips for all skin types…..

  • Deep cleanse twice a day with a gentle pH balanced cleanser and Clarisonic brush (check them out up close at Revive by Sarka) to remove oil, sweat and sunscreen while not interrupting the essential epidermal barrier
  • Limit exfoliation to about once a week, if needed with a gentle enzyme based exfoliant, avoid strong glycolic and retinol exfoliants
  • Use an antioxidant and a hyaluronic rich serum twice a day
  • Apply a light moisturizer with broad spectrum UV protection and follow with mineral powder and a setting mist for a more even and dewy finish

    UV Protection H2O NEW @ Revive!

  • Remember to reapply your sunscreen every two hours, look for zinc and titanium
  • Anything with an SPF over 5o is not allowed by the FDA anymore, so know that it’s all about even application and reapplying not the highest number. SPF 30 and 50 will be good for the summer
  • Don’t forget about the lips, eyes and ears – lip skin cancer is becoming more and more common as many dyes and ingredients in traditional makeup accentuate the effect of UV radiation. Mineral makeup on the other hand adds an extra sun protection, so switch out your department-and drugstore cosmetics for a good quality pure mineral lip gloss, eyeshadow and bronzer this summer!
  • Last but not least, immerse in the ocean water! The minerals in the ocean are very healing and help to restore many skin conditions naturally. Enjoy the summer!

Visit my studio on Wednesdays between 12pm and 5pm for your complimentary summer skin analysis, consultation or mini makeover, or schedule your customized organic facial and find out what’s new and exciting in my Holistic Skin Care practice!

I am very excited ….

                                 …..that I have recently added a NEW skin care line to complement my highly popular, innovative and nourishing Eminence organic skin care. I have just added Osmosis skin care – a holistic medical line with a truly unique approach to skin health and rejuvenation, through natural exfoliation, liposomal delivery, immune system restoration, DNA repair and advanced collagen stimulation  and skin nutrition.

Most skin care uses aggressive ingredients and peels that create a limited, temporary effect but damage the skin in the process. Osmosis’ revolutionary, natural botanicals empower skin the way

skincare should be ….

a place where you can jump start your whole body rejuvenation. Treat your face, your body and your mind, like you would treat your best friend!

NEW YEAR NEW YOU!

Welcome to the New Year!

 

If one of your resolutions this year is to take better care of your body, you’ve arrived at just the right place! 

Being more gentle to ourselves, listening to our bodies and treating and feeding them with more natural and healthier foods is all becoming easier, living here on the Vineyard. We all learn from each other about what we can improve, and what we can be proud of. Being inspired by each other, rather than judging our own deficiencies, is a great thing to incorporate into our lives. Understand and use your own power of staying healthy through slowing down and honor what your own body tells you.

Welcome to

a place where you can jump start your whole body rejuvenation. Treat your face, your body and your mind, like you would treat your best friend!

Protect your precious summer skin

Love the sun on your skin!

Here are some of my tips to keep your skin healthy, calm and glowing all summer long.

While I’ve been offering facials on Martha’s Vineyard over the past six years, I often get the same question: “How do I keep my skin hydrated and redness-free in the summer?” Dehydrated skin is prone to be more sensitive. So beside drinking plenty of water, this is what you can do to keep your healthy glow.

Topical hydration is essential, as the moisture level in skin dramatically decreases when exposed to the sun’s powerful rays. Before heading outdoors pre-hydrate your skin using a deeply nourishing cleanser like the Coconut milk cleanser with a Clarisonic Pro brush on gentle setting. This will help to unclog the pores and prepare your skin to absorb as much hydration as possible.

Follow with a hydrating and alcohol free mist, apply a serum containing a plant based hyaluronic acid like the Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic serum (this will plump, hydrate and deliver antioxidants to deeper layers of your skin then your moisturizer can get to) and apply your sun care products to protect your precious skin this season like the super hydrating Tropical Vanilla Sun Cream spf 32 (available for Face and Body). This moisturizer actually increases the moisture in your skin by 250% in just 7 days!! Or try the lightweight Caramel Latte Tinted moisturizer spf 25.

Even under an umbrella or large brim of your hat your skin is absorbing UV reflection from the water, sand, concrete and even grass. Remember to reapply your sunscreen every couple of hours when at the beach, working out, or working in your garden. The easiest way to do this is with the Colorescience’s sheer and non-clogging  mineral sunscreen powder brush spf 30 or 50.

And don’t forget to put the Stone crop Hydrating mist in your beach bag, so you can keep your skin hydrated and cool all day long. The healing Stone crop juice will increase your UV protection and lower your chance to develop new sun spots and hyperpigmentation.

Stone Crop Plant

Sooth, re-hydrate and heal your skin with the healing, pigment reducing and hydrating Stone Crop Masque at the end of the day or treat your sun drenched skin to a calming and healing facial with the most wonderful Hibiscus and Calendula Mask! Then apply a night moisturizer to your face, neck and décolleté, as well as the back of your hands, that is high in antioxidants, aloe vera and natural vitamin E. Make sure your vitamin E is pure and from a natural source like tomatoes, as it is an incredible healer and powerful antioxidant, and be aware of synthetic vitamin E, which is way cheaper alternative found in many skin care products and delivers no benefits at all.

Next, I’ll never go out without my Eyescreen spf 30 on, during the day it prevents sun damage (like loss of collagen, and uneven skin tone around my eyes), by shielding the tender skin around the eyes, reflecting UV rays and for an evening out it brightens the eye area without the heavy look of a concealer.

Last but not least, check your lip gloss. Traditional ingredients that make your lips shine, may actually magnify the effect of UV rays, and may be the cause to lip cancer. Make sure your lip gloss is made with natural ingredients and has zinc oxide or titanium dioxide with spf 30 or more.

At the end sweep an illuminating bronzer brush across your cheek bones, forehead, down the nose bridge and below your jawline, this will look stunning on your healthy, hydrated, and redness free skin for the healthiest sun kissed glow!

For the hot summer nights out apply the Coconut Firming Body Lotion for an unbeatable glow all over!

For more summer skin care problem solvers schedule your customized organic facial and consultation. As a trained skin care professional I can help you find the best daily skin care routine, personalized for all your skin’s needs. The best organic skin care on Martha’s Vineyard!

Spring into your best skin ever

Have you been wondering why we still use and are openly lured into using chemical and toxic beauty and skin care products on TV and every other page of a fashion magazine? So many of us have long been enjoying the health benefits of organic and natural foods, yet still lather on synthetic foundations, lipsticks and body lotions. These ingredients are absorbed into our bodies through the skin and may cause serious health problems. Many recent studies have shown multiple toxic ingredients like lead and mercury in Big and Famous cosmetic brands. Check out this recent news article .

And if you have already tried many different natural and organic store brands, you may be thinking that even though it feels good putting on something like olive oil, rosehip or calendula, rather then petroleum, these products unfortunatelly don’t always bring the anticipated results.

This spring I invite you to venture out and try something that actually, clinically-proven, works! Come experience the new collection of products of a leading and award winning professional organic skin care company that has been voted best by skincare professionals for the past 3 consecutive years.

So, leave your winter skin behind and immerse yourself into beautiful and instant results of targeted treatments with the healing power of organic fruits, herbs and vegetables. And with some insight of a health coach on skin friendly diet and other aspects of holistic skin care, let me show you how you can slow down the aging process, prevent further damage and return healthy glow, elasticity and firmness back to your face and body.

Is your sunscreen really protecting you?

Sun damage vs vitamin D deficiency, and UVA vs UVB sun protection.

Many articles have been written over the past few years on whether to use sunscreen and what kind.

It has been known that many of us have become deeply deficient in Vitamin D. Naturally the body can make sufficient amount of this vitamin while exposed to the sun. Vitamin D is essential for many functions in our bodies, including the absorption of calcium. It is also a powerful antioxidant, and some experts believe that it helps to prevent many internal cancers. We need about 20 minutes (depending on your skin type) in the sun, ideally before 10 am or after 4pm fully exposed to make sufficient amount of vitamin D.

“In all my many years of practice of medicine, I’ve never seen one vitamin, even vitamin C, have such profound effects on human health.”

- Soram Khalsa MD.

It makes sense to supplement the right dose of Vitamin D (D3 in particular).

A disturbing fact came out in a recent study that examined several brands of sunscreen and sunblock. Most of these brands are rated for UVB protection only, as they are required. UVB are the rays that cause sunburn. So, for years we’ve been relying on these brands and thinking that when not burning we are safely enjoying the sun. However, it is the UVA rays that are damaging. They penetrate the skin deeper, cause damage to the elastin and collagen fiber, which results in wrinkles, loss of elasticity, sagging and pigmentation. These are the same rays that are also believed to cause skin cancer.

So, next time you pick up a new bottle of sunscreen make sure it is a full spectrum UVA and UVB sunblock.

Colorescience PRO mineral makeup starter kit $60

I believe that mineral sunscreens are the best, because they:

  • are natural full spectrum sunblock
  • don’t get absorbed into the skin
  • don’t block your pores
  • cool the skin’s surface (ideal for Rosacea, broken capillaries and sensitive skin)
  • are waterproof and very stable
  • have calming benefits for sensitive and Rosacea skin types

At Revive you can get a variety of mineral sunscreens for the body and face, great for women, men and children. These are pure clinical and therapeutic grade minerals that not only protect but also perfect your skin, free of harsh chemicals, dyes and fragrance.

Sunforgettable mineral brush SPF 30 & 50

is a lightweight mineral powder with a barely-there feel that provides the safest, non-irritating, instant UVA and UVB sun protection.

This breakthrough, very water resistant, sheer formula is easy to apply and reapply throughout the day.

If you have already experienced Sunforgettable, please share your experience here or on my Facebook page.

Treat your sun-drenched skin to the best organic facials and sun care products at Revive by Sarka this summer.
