In today's economy money is tight. Many of us are opting to do it ourselves. Here are a few products you can use to maintain your toes in between your professional pedicure or if your are doing them on your own. The few tips are all ones that I actually do on my own to maintain my beautiful feet and get them ready for open toe weather!
"Callus Terminator" is my favorite! I use it at home or before I go to my pedi session. Why pay $5 for them to use their own when you can purchase a 4 oz bottle from The Brow and Skin Studio with Apothecary for $15. This bottle will last the summer and remove your calluses quickly.
"Pumi Bar" is a little pumice bar ideal for the heels, elbow or knees. It is by far my favorite pumice bar because it is very gentle, compact and cute. Plus its super cheap too!
"Miss Oops Pedicure in a Bottle" is nightly product that I mainy use in winter. This salicylic acid and shea bitter lotion gently exfoliates and softens your feet. Great for heels or rough elbow!
Don't Forget we do carry Japonesque's Callus Smoother, Rasp and Shaver all at
The Brow and Skin Studio with Apothecary.
Keep your feet looking smooth and colorful with the latest polish from OPI's South Beach Collection.

Spring Brow Tips and Trends for 2009
1. Trends - Go for full, natural, classic brows. Grow out your over-tweezed brows to give your face a more youthful look.
2. Trim - Leave it to a professional: trimming them too much at home may lead to uneven brows.
3. Tweeze - Don't do it daily. Too- thin brows age the face. Tweeze only one hair at a time.
4. Tint - Don't tweeze course gray hairs, which leave gaps. Instead use a tinted brow gel to cover them, or have them tinted professional.
5. Powder - Brow shades should complement skin and hair. Whether you prefer darker then your hair color or lighter then your hair color.
6. Pencil - For a fuller look, use brow powder or a brow pencil to shade in brows. Add clear brow gel to hold unruly hairs in place.
7. Make-up - Highlight brow bone for an instant eye opener.
8. Lashes - Complement brows with full, thick long lashes. By day, rely on lash conditioners that help lengthen and thicken eyelashes: Revitalash or Jan Marini Lash( found at THE BROW AND SKIN STUDIO WITH APOTHECARY). At night instantly achieve the look with false eyelashes.

HighBrow Style by Erin Stafford
Perfectly groomed brows can take years off your appearance,yet there's a dearth of places devoted to the service. Four years ago,Rayda Ireifej,developed a loyal following at R.I. Skincare and Body Center in Huntington Beach,and later opened The Brow and Skin Studio with Apothecary, one of the first salons of its kind in Orange County. The studio, run by the esthetician and daughters Sylvia and Rowena, consists of a retail shop brimming with exclusive skincare,makeup,brow, and lash products; a calming waiting area; and four treatment rooms.
In shaping brows,Ireifej and her daughters consider a client's facial features, personality, and lifestyle". The goal is to create brows that are twins, not sisters," says Rowena.Services range from $20 to $35.
The woman bring experience and precision to their work, which is evident to those who walk through the door. "It's not a service we offer, but an experience," says Ireifej. "Our goal is to have everyone leave here feeling like royalty, with clear skin and perfectly arched brows."- Erin Stafford for Orange Coast Magazine March 2009.

The Importance of Double Cleansing By Rowena Ireifej
After a long day of wearing makeup, producing oil, and collecting enviromental debrie, you want to make sure to clean your skin throughly. We recommend cleansing your face twice. (Double Cleanse)
First use Pre-Cleanse by Dermalogica (perfect for all skin types) with dry hands. Apply a thin layer on your forehead, cheeks, chin, jawline, and nose. Then wet your hands to build a lather on your face. Use circulear motins to break up makeup and wash skin. Its best to use sponges to remove the pre-cleanse and makeup.
Then use your favorite cleanser for you second cleanse to actually wash your skin. Preform the same circulear motions and then use clean sponges to remove cleanser. Now your skin will be clean and ready for your skincare regime.

Younger Looking Skin at Every Age by Rowena Ireifej
20's Prevent Aging: What we do in our 20's impacts our skin in the future. Use retional based products at night to prevent aging and to minimize pores. Sunscreen is a must during the day. SPF prevents sundamage. We love PCA Retinol Renewal and Fenix Hydrating Suncreen with an SPF 30.
30's Keep the Glow: Even with a good night's rest, you may still appear tired. Under eye issues develop at this age. To disguise under eye issues, find a conclear with a warmer tone. Warmer tones blend better and is less noticable. Try the balm light/medium for day time. To reduce dark circles, dryness, and puffiness use an eye cream that contains kojic acid, licorice, and peptides. For 24 hour care try PCA EyeXcellence, a result driven triple-action eye cream morning and night. Your skin will also get drier at this age. A lack of hydration affects the natural exfoliation process, causing it to slow down, which can make skin look dull. Use a light to mediun moisturizer during the day and a rich hydrating moisturizer at night.
40's Get Even: Age spots, sun spots, and discoloration appears at this age. Add kojic, glycolic or azelaic acid, Vitamin C or hydroquinone to your routine. Products with these active ingredients will lighten and brighten your skin tone. Even out your skin tone with Age Limit by Ultra Dermacine, Pigment gel with Hydroquinone by PCA, or Jan Maini C-Esta and Enlighten lotion.
50's Soften Wrinkles: You may notice that your wrinkles have become more apparent and your skin is drying out. A loss of hormones during menopause affects elasticity, firmness, and moisture levels. Use products that increase collagen production and contain peptides to resolve these issues. Try Advanced Firming complex by Ultra Dermacine or PCA Exlinea for firming. For hydration use Hydrating Vitamin Cream or Jan Marini Age Intervention Cream.
60's Maintain Moisture: Hydrating your skin is extremely important. Oil production disappears at this age. Use a hydrating serum with hylauronic acid and a rich moisturizer to lock in moisture. Try PCA Hydrating Serum and Dermalogica Super Rich.
