Give gifts that relieve stress Stress can be bad for the body, contributing to depression, anxiety, hypertension, and even obesity. Unfortunately, more than half of working adults and 47 percent of all Americans say they are concerned with the amount of stress in their lives, according to a survey from the American Psychological Association. Canadians, too, are feeling stressed. The North American research company Ipsos found that stress affects 76 percent of the Canadian population.

Reducing stress can be especially important during the holiday season, which, thanks in part to its hectic nature, tends to produce extra feelings of stress. Gifts that pamper, relax and rejuvenate might be the ideal fit for those who need a little rest and relaxation.

Candles: The combination of subtle, low flickering light and relaxing aromas can make candles soothing gifts. Put together an entire gift package with decorative candle holders or a nice tray on which candles of various heights can be placed.

Durango’s first and only premier full body waxing salon!

Plush robe: Sometimes lounging around the house is all that’s necessary to create a soothing atmosphere. A plush robe that is luxurious and comfortable will help that someone special unwind after a long day or after sleeping in on the weekend.

Home aquarium: Stress can melt away watching underwater life flick and flitter through the aquarium. Combined with soothing bubbles and the gentle hum and splash of the filter, it is easy to see how having a fish tank in the home can alleviate stress. Make sure the gift recipient is able to care for the fish and select lowmaintenance species.

Bed linens: Treat someone special to the gift of added relaxation in the bedroom. Buying bed linens is often a chore and an expense that people put off. Pima cotton, silk, satin, or sateen sheets can be cool, comfortable and soothing.

SERVING THE FOUR CORNERS WITH NEUROLOGICALLY BASED CHIROPRACTIC CARE

Dr. Garett Roop

Aromatherapy: Studies have shown that aromatherapy, or breathing in certain scents, can trigger reactions in the brain and affect emotions, mood and memory. Specific essential oils can help relieve stress, induce relaxation and even promote better sleep. Scents such as lavender, lemon or yuzu, bergamot, ylang ylang and jasmine can promote relaxation in many people.

Facial treatment: A massage session can be relaxing, but so can a facial. There’s something serene about having a professional apply products and rub areas of the face and temples. Stress will slip away in an instant.

Pampering gifts can help ease anxiety, tame stress and help anyone feel more relaxed and happy.

Dr. Garett and Haley’s vision is to create a community free of disease and common ailments. Our goal is to provide you with true long-term correction, not just short term relief. We at Pathfinder Chiropractic are on a mission to help create one of the Dr. Haley Roop healthiest communities right here in the Four Corners area.

Facial masks

Booth 57

Masks may contain many different ingredients designed to treat various skin problems. A paraffin mask, for example, involves the process of applying molten warm wax over a thin mask. The wax will open pores and moisturize the skin. Masks are applied, and then there is a waiting period, during which the mask dries or penetrates. Then the treatment will be removed.

Microdermabrasion In microdermabrasion, layers of dead skin are buffed. This dead skin may have accumulated due to age and sun exposure.

Many spas employ a device that scours the skin using micronized aluminum oxide crystals. Similar at-home products use motorized spinning brushes that employ bristles to slough off skin cells.

Navigating spa treatments The desire for healthy, clean-looking skin drives the multibillion dollar cosmetics and skincare industry. According to data from the Semi-Annual Consumer Insight Snapshot from DermStore, a leading skin care ecommerce website, 67 percent of consumers surveyed are very or extremely interested in trying products for their specific skin concerns.

The top five skin concerns across the United States include aging, uneven skin tone, sensitive skin, dark circles, and sun damage. To address concerns about their skin, consumers are increasingly turning to in-spa services, such as facials, peels and fillers. A facial or body skin treatment can be a coveted gift this holiday season. However, navigating spa jargon can be tricky.

Here are some popular services and what they entail.

Give your body the best 3 minutes of it’s life and try a cryotherapy treatment with us.

You will be so glad you did!

Traditional facial A traditional facial typically begins with a cleansing of the face using steam to open up pores. This lets impurities clear out.

Depending on an individual’s skin type or concerns, a mild scrub may be used to exfoliate dead skin cells, dirt and oils. A hydrating mask or lotion will be applied to soothe skin after treatment.

Chemical or fruit acid peel Chemical and fruit acid peels rely on various acids to exfoliate and peel off the outer layer of skin. The skin beneath is usually more smooth and less wrinkled. Some deep peels target the middle layer of skin to remove damaged skin cells. The American Society for Dermatologic Surgery says that peels can be used to treat anything from acne to aging skin to scars. Peels are best left to an aesthetician or dermatologist.

Lymphatic massage Many facial treatments also include some massage. With lymphatic massage, particular pressure points are targeted to release strain from tension headaches and may even reduce skin puffiness. Massaging the skin can promote blood flow and lead to a rosier, more youthful glow.

Cosmetic fillers Injectable dermal fillers can soften facial creases, remove wrinkles and improve the appearance of scars, says the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. These procedures are best left to professionals.

Skincare treatments make a good gift for yourself or someone special after a long year.

Choose the right cosmetic products

Go out in the sun The best way to determine if a shade of makeup matches or if a product looks flawless is to go out in the sun. Although cosmetics have come a long way, and digital color-matching is some of the most advanced technology, natural light is the best way to determine a skin tone match. If the makeup looks great during the day, it should work well under other lighting situations as well.

The global cosmetic and beauty industry continues to evolve and thrive. Each day, new formulations for skin, hair, nails, and more arrive on store shelves, beckoning shoppers to give them a try.

According to Allied Market Research, the cosmetics market is expected to generate $429.8 billion by 2022. As men and women all over the world contribute to these impressive sales figures, one may wonder just how to navigate through the extensive waters of the cosmetics industry.

How does a person find the right products for their needs when there are so many to choose from? The right products vary depending on the individual. Certain factors should be considered before trying the newest product available.

Do a consultation Visit a department store and head to the beauty counter. Ask about the newest products available and request a trial. This enables you to see firsthand how items feel and look, and you may learn some professional application tips as well.

Know your skin type It helps to have a cursory understanding of your skin type. This includes whether it is dry, combination, sensitive, or oily.

When considering your skin type, also keep in mind potential allergens that may have irritated your skin in the past. Avoid cosmetic products with these ingredients.

Sign up for a sample service Explore the various cosmetic mail-order subscription services available. For a nominal fee, some services allow you to have several samples shipped to your door each month. Try the products and see which ones are contenders. This way you haven’t made a large financial commitment, nor do you have full-size products cluttering your bathroom. If one or more items proves its mettle, invest in more.

Similarly, when at the hair salon, ask your stylist which products are ideal for your hair type and desired results. You don’t necessarily have to buy them at the salon, but you can comparison shop or look for similar formulations later.

product does, discontinue use. Skin or hair should not get worse before it gets better.

Give products time Read the literature on the packaging or bottle. Certain cosmetic products are designed to work quickly. Others, particularly those that treat wrinkles or dark spots on skin, may need two weeks to a month to produce the desired results.

A good rule of thumb is that the longer an issue lasts, the more time a product will need to produce the desired results.

Fringe: If you haven’t yet added something fringed to your wardrobe, now is the time.

The trend is still prevailing with nearly every designer including some sort of fringe or frayed fabric in their collections.

Fringed skirts, capes and vests are just a few looks to try.

Pantsuits: Pantsuits are back in a big way, but they’re edgier than in years past. Whether it’s tailored jackets paired with flowing pants, cigarette-style bottoms and cropped tops or a boxy blazer and suspenders, pantsuits are a chic and trendy look.

The cooler temperatures of autumn mean wrapping yourself up in comfort and coziness without compromising on style.

C OWGI RLS WHOLESALE OUTLET

Complete your closet with these simple seasonal styles As days grow shorter and cooler, the unstructured ensembles of shorts and tanks make way for the sweaters, boots, tweeds and wool of autumn attire.

Whether you’re ready to head back to the office or the classroom, you may want to include cozy ribbed knits, pantsuits and some other trendsetting items in your autumn wardrobe.

Duster coats: Duster coats and ponchos could be seen at all the major runway shows. These coats are equally comfortable tossed over casual wear, such as a sweater and jeans, or worn over business attire. The longer length keeps legs and torsos warm on chilly days. Play with patterns and colors, such as animal print or pale pink, for extra flair.

12 ~ What a Girl Wants ~ November 2017

Turtlenecks: Put away your t-shirts for the season and use turtlenecks as your next must-have layering piece. In the past, turtlenecks have fallen in and out of favor. But now they’re back again in high demand. Turtlenecks keep you warm, and they’re also quite fashionable. Turtlenecks can even be worn in nontraditional ways, such as under a dress with straps.

Luxury athletic wear: A trip to the gym or just lounging around at home can now be even more fashionable, as many brands are now offering luxury gym clothes. These clothes offer a greater attention to detail and more comfort than the usual gym attire and can be mixed and matched with other pieces you may already have in your closet. Slouchy hoods and free-flowing pieces garner all the right attention.

Chokers: Flash back to the ‘90s and enjoy the nostalgia of choker necklaces. Black chokers can have a bewitching look and dress up evening wear or even a more casual button-down shirt.

Avoid these winter beauty mistakes Cold, blustery weather is waiting to rear its ugly head whether the public likes it or not.

Winter weather may require revamping your normal health and beauty routine, as your skin and hair may need a bit more attention this time of year.

Chances are you may be doing one or more things wrong this winter, according to beauty experts. Learn the mistakes many people make and how to avoid them.

Using the same foundation: Makeup needs may change in the winter. In addition to exploring a different color palette, you may need to actually change the formulation of the products you use. Skin tends to dry out in the cold, necessitating a switch to a foundation that boasts moisturizing agents. People who find their skin is normally oily may find a product for combination skin acceptable.

Taking prolonged, hot showers: Many people enjoy lingering in a hot shower or bath during the colder months of the year. But too much hot water can compromise your skin’s ability to contain moisture, further complicating dryness that comes with the season.

Covering dry skin with makeup: Slathering on makeup to hide dry skin will only make it more noticeable. Instead, do some gentle exfoliation and moisturization to combat the problem. Gently rub a wet washcloth over dry areas to remove flaky skin and prep your face for makeup application.

Going overboard with a tan: Artificial tans can be unhealthy for the skin. Do not try to compensate for shorter bursts of sunlight by spending hours in a tanning bed. Avoid selftanners and bronzers as well. If you must use a bronzer, stick to one shade darker than your skin tone and only touch the places the sun would hit naturally.

14 ~ What a Girl Wants ~ November 2017

Skipping sunscreen: The sun still shines in the winter, and skin is still susceptible to damage. Make sun protection a yearround part of your beauty regimen. Use a moisturizer with SPF built in to make morning routines that much easier.

Forgetting hands and feet: Skin on hands and feet can dry out in winter air. Wear gloves to protect hands and thoroughly moisturize. Use a pumice stone to give feet an exfoliating treat and slather on the moisturizer. Pull on a pair of cotton socks and let that moisture penetrate feet for soft soles and toes.

Selecting the wrong lip balm: Chapped lips seem to be par for the course this time of year. Instead of reaching for a waxy lip balm full of menthol, which can exacerbate already dry lips, select a lip butter or something that has a more liquid consistency to get into the cracks of dry lips.

Ignoring hair: Your hair and scalp may need some winter TLC as well. Use extra conditioner to combat dryness and breakage.

Rely on heat-protection styling products to combat damage from hair driers and other heat-based styling tools.

Winter beauty is attainable, especially when men and women remember to compensate for the poor conditions.
