Botox For Your Hair?

The season has turned which means your hair has spent all summer enduring the harsh Florida sun. Now add to that cooler temperatures and dryer air and you have a recipe for brittle, frizzy hair.

I have discovered a professional hair treatment that plumps and smoothes just like a Botox treatment for your skin. The AlterEgo Italy B.Toxkare lifting system is an in-salon treatment that delivers the same rejuvenating benefits for your hair that Botox provides for your face.

The active ingredient is hyaluronic acid which infuses your hair with weightless, deep hydration. This will also allow your hair to retain moisture and add thickness. Additionally, it will smooth down your cuticle and eliminate frizz without losing volume. After one treatment the results will be clearly visible. Your hair will have strength, bounce and brilliance and will turn heads wherever you go.

This treatment also allows your blow-outs to last longer and your hair will feel silky soft. This is a cumulative treatment and can be used up to once a month and will continue to make your hair healthier and stronger with each application. Did I mention that it also smells amazing?

You will be able to further enhance these results with the take-home B.Toxkare Replumping Shampoo and Conditioner that are also full of the hyaluronic acid that we all know and love. Visit me at COCO Salon to transform your hair with this simple 30 minute treatment.

At-home needleless Botox face mask

What you need:
1 tablespoon corn starch
½ cup boiling water
2 tablespoons carrot juice
1 tablespoon sour cream

Start by gently whisking in 1 tablespoon corn starch into ½ cup boiling water. Stir until dissolved. Let it completely cool off. The mask will not work if the corn starch/water mix is still warm when you add in the rest of the ingredients.

Once the corn/starch water mix is cool add in the carrot juice and the sour cream. Mix this together until it is smooth and creamy. Then apply this mixture to you freshly cleaned face. Leave on your face for 20 minutes before gently rinsing. Use this face mask once a day for three days and you will start noticing tighter, healthier and more supple skin. The initial batch will be enough for three days of face mask. Store your leftovers in the refrigerator each day. After the initial three-day application continue to apply the face mask two to three times per week.

What makes this face mask work?

Corn starch draws out impurities from the skin and minimizes pores. It also helps retain moisture in the skin. The carrot juice, which is a beta-carotene, boosts your skin’s collagen and elastin making it firmer and tighter. Vitamin A in the carrot juice slows down aging and helps regenerate skin skills and cure acne.

The sour cream contains lactic acid which naturally stimulates collagen production. Alpha hydroxy acids exfoliate the skin to help it produce new cells and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. This at-home face mask gives you all the benefits of Botox but without the needles.
