For those that know me, know that I’m joking with that opening statement, but like I always say, “If you can’t love yourself, how’s anyone else ever going to love you? lol”

We all know that smooth and flawless skin will always be on trend, but unfortunately it tends to be difficult to maintain. Well, at least that is what I thought until I was introduced to pbRenew 3-Step lines from Planet Beach.

The Perfect 3-Step Kits To Fit Any Of Your Needs!

The Perfect 3-Step Kits To Fit Any Of Your Needs!

The pbRenew product line has something for everyone, whether you are suffering with troublesome acne or you simply want to maintain awesome skin (some of you are just that lucky!). If you suffer with acne, like I have – off and on throughout the years – and struggled with confidence as a result, pbRenew Clear is the product line for you. PbRenew Clear is the perfect solution for redness control and blemishes. In the past, I’ve had quite an extensive, time-consuming skincare regime that included a mix of prescription and over-the-counter medications. Now, all I use is the pbRenew Clear line with a few sessions of Red Light Therapy each week and my skin looks and feels better than ever! The main ingredient, Aloe Barbadensis, is a botanical extract that acts as an anti-bacterial. Not only does it tame any acne you may have, but it also smoothes and heals rough skin. I keep this product on hand at all times, just in case I’m having a stressful day at the office and get an unexpected breakout! Breakouts happen and as unfair as it is, now there is a way that we can fight back!

Acne not your main problem? PbRenew Maintain may be what you are looking for. After I started the pbRenew Clear, I talked one of my girlfriends into trying this line of products and she swears by them now! This product focuses on keeping your skin smooth and tone. Unfortunately, wrinkles happen and they are basically inevitable.  Damn you time and aging! But, that does not mean trying to prevent wrinkles is out of the question. PbRenew Maintain reduces fine lines and small imperfections, all while leaving skin soft and flawless.

Are you looking for something stronger that will focus solely on wrinkles and reversing the signs of aging? I would suggest pbRenew Transform.  Trust me, I’m only a year or two away from making the switch myself J! pbRenew Transform is full of vitamins, minerals and nutrients that help transform your skin to what it was like when you weren’t worried about the passing of time. I recommended this product to my sister, who is much older than me (okay only by a few years) and she was happily shocked by the difference of what her skin looked like just by using the product for a week.

After experiencing results first hand and having multiple friends and relatives now using the product lines, I think it is safe to say the pbRenew products are absolutely amazing. But, it does not stop at a fantastic skin care line. Planet Beach’s Red Light Therapy maximizes and maintains the results. Over time, the use of red light therapy reduces the size of your pores and evens out skin tone. Religiously using the pbRenew line AND using Red Light Therapy keeps my skin healthy, vibrant and glowing.

Customers say low infrared therapy makes skin clearer, younger-looking

Lumiere Facial and Cyber Relax Chair

“I absolutely love this LED facial,” raved Kelly, a health and lifestyle blogger in San Diego, on her blog giddygemini.com. “I’ve done it a few times before so I know that the results are quick and long-term. A day after my facial you could definitely see a firmer and cleaner looking skin.”

The Lumiere Facial uses light-emitting diode (LED) light therapy with topical skincare products to stimulate cellular renewal. Infrared treatment penetrates deeply into the body, stimulating collagen and elastin production while also nourishing damaged cells. This actually reduces fine lines, wrinkles and dark circles while providing immediate lifting and tightening.

“It is a great alternative to the traditional facial because it actually stimulates cellular renewal, which is going to build new cells,” said Junae Barnhart, Spa Director for the Centennial Gateway Planet Beach Contempo Spa. “It is also going to help diminish any signs of problematic skin. It even reduces sun spots and age spots as well. But it does it all naturally, how your skin would naturally repair itself as opposed to a traditional facial, which will damage the top layer of the skin. This is going to work from the inside out.”

The health and beauty of our skin reflects how we feel on the inside. Bringing out that inner glow that Planet Beach is known for keeps customers coming back for more ? and they are not shy about making sure everyone online knows about it.

“I use it and saw better results than going to the dermatologist for six years,” said Amanda, a Planet Beach employee in Gainesville, Florida, in an online article on insitegainesville.com. And the writer, Ashley McCredie, agreed. “I left Planet Beach feeling rejuvenated, and proud of my new glow. I would also recommend it to everyone, even you boys out there.”

In the age of baring and sharing all online, it is pretty easy to find out of something is worth your time and money based solely on other people’s opinions. Good or bad, people are posting their personal experiences all over the online community. And the Lumiere Facial, one of Planet Beach’s many restorative treatments, is creating quite the buzz.

For Contempo Spa member, Sharon Wegner, the service means soft, supple skin


 

Sharon Wegner is an unapologetic sun worshipper ? whether real or from a bed, she loves the look of glowing skin. She also knows that can come with a price, but regardless she will never give up her radiant color. 

At Planet Beach Contempo Spa Terrytown, Louisiana, Wegner found a way to have it all with Red Light Therapy.

When Wegner heard about Red Light Therapy at her local Planet Beach Contempo Spa Terrytown, she was skeptical. The treatment takes about 15 minutes and delivers an impressive roster of results, including reduced wrinkles, diminished fine lines, softer, more moisturized texture and a more youthful appearance thanks to collagen production.

Red Light Therapy uses heat and concentrated, low infrared light to stimulate circulation, boost collagen production and enhance skin’s natural ability to heal. In fact, it can produce dramatic results in just a few visits and has become one of the most sought-after services at Planet Beach Contempo Spas.

Andrea McNeil, owner of the Terrytown Planet Beach, told Wegner about the service last spring. “I am very experienced with tanning,” Wegner says. “In the early ‘90s I had the first tanning machines in the West Bank in New Orleans, so I am really familiar with tanning and all the pros and cons. If you are going to tan, I know you need to protect your skin. That is incredibly important.”

Red Light Therapy sounded fascinating, so Wegner gave it a try. She applied special moisturizing products (which penetrate to a depth of about 8 to 10 millimeters during the service) and got in the bed, which resembles a UV Therapy bed. Wegner noticed a change in her skin after one session and is now a convert.

“It is an unusual process because it looks like a tanning machine, yet it doesn’t have the heat of a tanning machine,” she says. “It is really moisturizing your skin and giving your skin more elasticity. When you get off the machine, the product you applied has absorbed into your skin.”

The results from full-body red light therapy are so dramatic that Wegner incorporates multiple sessions a week, combined with the Hydration Station and UV Therapy. “I used to have a tendency to have dry skin with tanning, but I don’t have that anymore as long as I do my routine. I do two red light and two hydration services each week, and I don’t have that flakiness on my arms that I used to have.”

She has even made a fan of her husband, who now goes to Planet Beach Contempo Spa and does the same routine as his wife. “I could tell a major difference in the color of his tan and in the texture of his skin, particularly on his back.”

Working at her own spa, Wegner does body wraps on her customers all day, and her hands had gotten pretty rough. Applying lotion twice a day made little difference. Now, her own customers and friends notice the great condition of her hands.

“One of my friends asked me the other day what I had been doing to my hands because they looked soft,” Wegner says. “I know it is a combination of the red light therapy and hydration station.”

Benefits include reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improving moisture and reducing imperfections

Before and After Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy is a healing strategy that makes use of red tinted light in order to stimulate the body’s natural defense systems and bring relief from various ailments.  It’s popularity has boomed with Planet Beach’s Contempo Spa visitors because it produces fast results for people with a variety of skin issues.

Planet Beach’s Lumiere facial has been popular since its introduction and now we are adding full-body red-light beds. In some cases, it is even possible to convert UV-therapy beds to red light therapy.

Red light therapy  uses heat and concentrated light to stimulate circulation, boost collagen production and enhance skin’s natural ability to heal. For Contempo Spa members, it can produce dramatic results in just a  few visits. The Lumiere facial and full body red light beds have become the most sought-after services at Planet Beach Contempo Spas as a result.

It is non-invasive treatment and does not contain ultraviolet rays. Waves from the infrared spectrum to penetrate skin tissue to a depth of up to 10 millimeters. This extra energy helps skin cells increase production of new collagen and enhance turnover of collagen and elastin fibers – key components for skin renewal.

Red light acne therapy helps teens with skin problems, by helping to clear out clogged pores. Facial red light therapy helps with nervous tics. In the same way natural sunlight helps with mild depression, red light sessions can improve moods and diminish depression in the winter months. If that were not enough, there are even claims that the stimulation of ATP in the body can help with various forms of sexual dysfunction in both men and women.

Adding the full-body option the range of health and wellness services already available cements Planet Beach Contempo Spas as an industry leader and innovator. The benefits of the red light therapy bulbs include reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improving moisture and reducing imperfections.
