One opinion led to another, and suddenly we found ourselves talking about our favourite cosmetic enhancement treatments. We thought you’d enjoy hearing the results of our informal, in-office straw vote on the best ways to look younger longer.
Costhetics #1 Beauty Treatment for Men & Women in Australia
Except at the Olympics, it’s not often that Australia and the U.S. vie with one another for a top spot in something. Well, when it comes to cosmetic injectables, however, we’re coming on strong! In an interview with Fairfax Media, the spokesperson for the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons said
” I think Australia is embracing those products at the same kind of rate as the United States” – Dr Jeremy Hunt
At Costhetics, we think there’s plenty to love about the muscle relaxing injections that keep our foreheads smooth and unlined. We also appreciate that this treatment is long lasting, but you can go in for touch-ups before a big event of any kind.
Fringe, be warned! You may no longer be necessary.
4 Reasons Costhetics Says “YES!” to Eyelash Extensions
The women at Costhetics are unanimous in their enthusiasm for professionally applied eyelash extensions. With them, you can say good-bye to the problems associated with DIY eye elegance:
- Eyelashes that are the wrong shape for your eyes
- Eyelash glue that ruins your make-up
- Eyelash glue that runs into your eyes and makes you cry (for lots of reasons)
- Eyelashes that lose their grip after an hour
Professionally applied lashes can be bold, of course, but they can also be natural and subtle. The effect is simply you, only better.
That Face, That Face, That Fabulous Face
Skin care specialists generally recommend that you have a facial once a month or so. Costhetics agree, and we can’t think of a more relaxing way to work on staying beautiful. It definitely takes a lot less energy than going to the gym!
Facials keep your skin clean, clear, and toned, but there’s another therapeutic benefit. When skincare preparations are massaged into your skin, it stimulates circulation and gives you a healthy glow.
A facial massage also relaxes you, and that makes you feel as good as you look.
Costhetics Gives 9 Reasons Why We Love Laser Hair Removal
In putting together this abbreviated forehead-to-toe guide to our favourite beauty treatments, we wanted to include a treatment that could help many parts of the body. Laser hair removal fits the bill to a T.
Laser hair removal is highly effective. Our female staffers give it thumbs up for exfoliating these six problem areas:
- Upper lip
- Chin
- Arms
- Underarms
- Bikini line
- Legs
The men on Team Costhetics appreciate the effectiveness of laser hair removal on these three spots on their bodies:
- Back
- Shoulders
- Chest
Costhetics Favourite Treatment to Enhance Peep-Toe Pumps and Sandals
Costheticians (we just made that up) love totally tanned tootsies. For our female staffers who wear peep-toe shoes year round, professional spray tans can help feet look pretty. The same is true for men, though they are generally wearing sandals, not peep-toes.
Three things contribute to a great spray tan for your feet:
- An experienced provider who doesn’t over-spray
- Meticulously maintained equipment that sprays evenly
- High quality tanning solution that isn’t runny and doesn’t cause skin irritation
Those are our top picks. What are yours?!
