The short answer is, yes and no. Here’s why. You need carbohydrates for energy. Unfortunately, we tend to eat way too many of them!
It’s a two-fold problem. Breads, pasta, rice, potatoes, and muffins all tend to aggravate acne breakouts. Dr, Jessica Wu, the Hollywood dermatologist, said this. “In one study, volunteers who ate a high carb diet experienced a 20% increase in their levels of androgens (“male” hormones that stimulate oil glands and cause acne) after just one week; volunteers who ate a diet high in protein had balanced blood sugar and lower levels of androgens in a week.”
Secondly, once consumed, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, or blood sugar, and interact with proteins in your skin. This stimulates enzymes that break down collagen and elastin!
And you know what that means, thinner skin that’s more likely to wrinkle.
Balance carbohydrates with protein and fresh vegetables. Avoid the refined stuff and stick with whole grains for glowing, beautiful skin!

Did You Know This Contributes To Adult Acne?

Did You Know This Contributes To Adult Acne? By Beauty Salon Taringa – Call Us On 07 3871 0477
Adult acne is not only frustrating it can be highly embarrassing. It’s bad enough as a teenager, but now? We see a lot of women with this condition and we hear the same lament, “I never had acne in high school. Why do I have it now?”
Adult acne has increased in recent years, but we’ve found one common thread with our adult acne clients. Are you ready for this?
These clients are using the wrong products with the wrong formulation to treat their condition!
It’s no wonder they’re frustrated because their skin is not responding. What most people do not realize is that you have to take a step back. You must establish a cause and effect for any skin type, and that includes acne.
• Is it due to a medical condition such as lupus? And if so, what’s the treatment protocol?
• Is it due to stress?
• Heredity?
A professional skin analysis with one of our highly qualified aestheticians can get to the root cause. She will discuss with you:
• Your lifestyle
• Any medical condition you may have
• Your current skin care regimen
• Your diet
Then she will analyze your skin to get an objective look at what’s going on beneath the surface. This technology combined with her training will tell you precisely what your skin wants.
No guessing. No wrong products. No wasted money.
Skin simply can’t respond if it doesn’t have the right ingredients and they are loaded with cheap fillers! When you add a clinical treatment to further boost the effectiveness of your skincare products, we expect you to say, “I can’t believe how great I look!”
If you’ve got acne and you’re not happy with your current regimen, please consider a professional skin analysis with us. It will make a smooth difference in your world!

We’re so committed to giving you worry-free Brazilian waxing that we did our homework and go a PhD. Now you don’t have to wrinkle a brow when you’re in our capable hands!
How We Got Our Phd In Brazilian Waxing!
To get this prestigious degree, we had to make an over-the-top commitment to your health and ours. That’s why:
- We use only hard wax for Brazilians. It’s made with salon quality ingredients that ensure exceptional results.
- Our wax has a creamy texture, and does not crack or get brittle on your skin. Best of all, it absolutely does not adhere to your skin, only hair—a real pain reducer!
- Our wax does not lift off the top layer of your skin, leaving the area susceptible to infection, like most waxes! Remember, it doesn’t adhere to your skin.
- It also contains *titanium oxide, which makes it ideal for sensitive skin.
- Our wax has been approved for use by dermatologists. And you know how fussy they are!
- Our spatulas are disposable, which reflects our commitment to your health and ours. And absolutely no double dipping! We stop cross contamination before it can stop.
- We use a pre-wax oil to soften your skin and further reduce pain.
And that’s how you get a degree of Professional, Hygenic, and Disposable (PhD) in Brazilian waxing. We love what we do and it shows!
Some women can’t bear the thought of one others can’t live without it. Like everything in life, waxing any part of your body is a choice.
Is It Worth Getting A Brazlian?
And if you’re a diehard Brazilian fan or you’re just thinking about it, there are some essential facts you need to know before getting your next Brazilian. Let’s take a look at some of them.
- The Pain Factor—Brazilians are uncomfortable. However, an experienced aesthetician minimizes your discomfort and the possible irritation during hair removal. Here we use top quality wax that adheres only to the hair, not your skin. In addition, we also use a pre-wax oil to soften your skin and further reduce irritation.
- Our waxing technicians are trained and experienced—This is key! Our technicians know what they are doing and they do it extremely well. For you, that means the process is fast, usually 15-30 minutes, which minimizes discomfort.
- Our wax is less irritating than other salon waxes. It is hypoallergenic, extremely flexible and will not get brittle or crack on your skin! This reduces your discomfort and speeds the whole procedure.
- We use a specific waxing technique just for Brazilians. This technique, part of our on-going training, makes the whole procedure fast, as well as effective.
We are also vigilant about cleanliness—yours and ours! We use antiseptic products that reduce the remote chance of spreading bacteria, fungi and viruses by 99%.
Our experience, education and commitment allow you to relax and enjoy superb results!
Are your feet are dry, cracked and callused?
NEST Skin, Body & Wellbeing, the beauty salon in Taringa, has a Foot Peel treatment designed to remove the dead skin cells leaving smoother softer skin.
Foot Peel treatment contains fruit acids which are very gentle but can penetrate into the layers of dead skin cells and works on the desmosomes which lie between the skin layers. This activates the peeling process. The cells in the dermal layer are forced to the surface and then peel away naturally, due to the metabolic process of your skin.
RESULTS: Smooth silky feet.

They don’t call it beauty sleep for nothing, now do they? Sleep is essential not only for a good quality life, but also for your skin.
How To Wake Up Prettier
While you’re sleeping, your body is taking advantage of your down time. Cell production and metabolic rate both increase, allowing the repair of damaged skin. Your body temperature also rises slightly, which means that your skincare products are absorbed easier.
That’s why it’s so important to thoroughly cleanse your skin at night and apply products designed to accelerate skin renewal for younger-looking skin. We recommend a topical retinoid product clinically proven to smooth fine lines and stimulate collagen. It’s a perfect compliment to your nighttime regimen.
Remember to keep yourself hydrated. Avoid salty foods, especially before bedtime. They cause you to retain water and dehydrate the skin. Go for a high protein dinner and drink 6-8 glasses of water daily.
Beauty is a partnership, and we’re glad to be your partner in all things beauty!
There was a woman who was so insecure without her make-up, she would cover her face and run to the bathroom after a facial.
No joke. And to make matters worse, the make-up she wore was heavy and obvious. That’s not good at any age. But at her age, it was worse!
As we get older, we sometimes get stuck in…well, old patterns. We still feel the same but our bodies have changed. Hate that, don’t you?
Here are three telltale mistakes that signal somebody’s stuck in a flashback:
• Ring around the face make-up. Wearing the wrong shade of make-up that ends in a ring under the chin. Make-up should always blend flawlessly with your skin tone.
• The cosmetic counter look. Too much make-up is often worn to hide facial imperfections and to cover a poor self-esteem. Unfortunately, overdone is, well, overdone.
• Trying to look way younger than you are. Yes, most of us mourn the loss of our youth,too. But sporting very young fashion make-up trends won’t bring it back. It will only draw attention to the grieving process!
Instead, consider corrective facials. Take the work out of getting ready in the mornings. Ask us about professional facials and our non-invasive Soli-Tone 2500 treatments that work for you.
And get an Issada make-up consult for an updated look. You’ll love how young you feel!

How To Beat Dark Circles
Dark circles caused by allergies, stress, and fatigue can really wreak havoc on your entire look.
Some lighter chemical peels can help with under eye discoloration if it is due to hyperpigmentation.
Unfortunately, for a great many of us, that’s just not the case!
Make-up and eye products, both of which we offer, greatly reduce and disguise the appearance of dark circles.
But if you wake up one morning and your dark circles are doing a tap dance on your face, try one of these home remedies to get fast relief:
- Cucumbers-This is a tried and true approach! Slice a refrigerated cucumber into thin slices. Place on your eyes for 5-10 minutes. The coolness will help to reduce inflammation and lighten the skin under your eyes.
- Cooled, Used Tea bags. Green, black or white, it doesn’t matter. All three help to reduce inflammation and lighten the under eye skin.
- Spoons! Refrigerate two teaspoons for an hour or two. Then place them over each eye for a cooling, refreshing result.
Once you’ve completed your home treatment, apply eye serum and make-up as usual. You’ll be thrilled!

How To Make Dull Skin Beautiful Again
You can blame it on stress, the weather change, or you wore the wrong lipstick colour today, but it just seems like your skin doesn’t look right. Make-up doesn’t look natural and then there are the signs of aging.
Crow’s feet, sun damage, lip wrinkles, and brown spots can rob you of your confidence and your natural beauty.
There’s no need to let that happen. Skinceuticals Gel Peels rejuvenate your skin and improve the texture. Lip and eye wrinkles fade, brown spots retreat and blackheads are banished.
But it gets even better. The fast pace of every day life, not drinking enough water or exercising, can make your skin look dull, even sluggish. A Soli-Tone Photobiostimulation Treatment will further rejuvenate your skin, restoring a youthful glow.
And that’s in addition to the other anti-aging benefits! If you’re ready for smoother, softer, younger skin, you owe it to yourself to talk to us about Skinceuticals Gel Peels.

How Busy Women Can Get The Most From Their Skincare
We’ve got good news for busy women like you! No matter what you’re juggling, it seems skincare gets a low priority on the “to do” list because it just takes too much time, right?
Hmmmm…well, what if there was a way to make it simple and easy? Happily, there is! Taking care of your skin is as simple as 1-2-3.
Make sure you have the right cleanser for your skin type. Next, use a mild exfoliant once a week in the shower. That’s pretty easy, isn’t it? Then follow up with the right moisturiser for your skin type.
The key to keeping your skincare simple is to clean out what you’ve got. You know, the little bit of moisturiser your friend gave you for Christmas, but you’ve been using it for a body lotion because you didn’t like it for your face.
Throw out the expired stuff, too. Just strip your skincare closet bare! Allow us the honour of giving you a complimentary skin consult to determine what you do need.
We’ll make sure that what we give you fits your lifestyle. And that means quick, simple and effective. Yep, we’ve got that.
So don’t wait. Your skin and you deserves better. Call NEST Skin, Body & Wellbeing, your beauty salon Taringa now on 07 38710477.
