Excellent Injectionist On the RR AESTHETICS team

March 15, 2017

I am always super excited to meet anyone new to Rand Rusher’s team because I know they will be top notch, best in their field and trained under Rand’s discerning eye for natural beauty. Everyone in this office I trust implicitly not only with my face but with the others whom I send. I assure them, everyone is excellent, everyone’s eye is phenomenal and you will NEVER ever leave looking like you had a thing done. Ever. Subtle work that packs a bang. An effortless, undone aesthetic. Tops. The best. And for over 10 years – my number one go to.

Trista did a major neck band overhaul for me and touched up my forehead and she did an excellent job – and frankly, the neck, or at least my neck, is no walk in the park.

I am thrilled to introduce her to you all. And seeing as she is relatively new to the team, you will have a much easier time getting in!

Trista Shakeridge RN

Trista Shakeridge RN is a seasoned cosmetic injector with over 12 years of injection and laser experience.  She began her nursing career working for a well-known in facial plastic surgeon where she assisted with pre/post-operative clients and in the OR.  Her goal was to be involved in the non-surgical aspect of Aesthetics so the transition to cosmetic Injectables & lasers was seamless.  She believes that Non- surgical approach to self-improvement is the building block for beauty and can deliver excellent results to our clients.

Trista’s expertise and years of hands on experience in aesthetics allow her to provide naturally pleasing results to clients without the “over done” look.  Her philosophy fits right in with the rest of the team at RR Aesthetics.

The Master Aesthetician Behind Lada Gaga’s Flawless Skin

March 5, 2017

When I first got wind about Joomee Song, I knew one thing – I HAD TO MEET HER. Something told me, this is a woman I need to know, and to share with you all. And wow, was I right. First off, besides running her private studio, www.faceworksinc.com, Joomee is a core member of Lady Gaga’s glam team. In other words, if you are wondering how and why Gaga’s skin is the most stunning thing you have laid eyes on, we have Joomee to thank for getting and keeping her on track.

Besides being a straight up aesthetician with over 20 years in the biz, she is also the creator of an incredible lymph-draining, massage technique, called Kaika. In most simple terms it is a signature style of facial massage that uses Shiatsu and acupressure to lift and tone the skin but it really is so much more. Joomee tunes in, reads your face, your energy and what it is calling for – so to speak. She is so tuned it, that it becomes an energetic experience.

Her incredible session combines effective elements of Eastern and Western skin care and of course each treatment is tailored to your needs. She also uses the latest equipment in tandem with carefully hand selected, only botanical products and will guide you through after care to help you sustain your healthy glow.

MY SESSION was phenomenal. I totally melted into Joomee’s hands and energy. I could feel my lymph glands draining as she worked. Days later, I am still glowing. I loved the feeling of the work around my eye sockets. It was deep and profound. And welp, miserable when it came to an end. I wanted her to NEVER STOP using her magic fingers to release my facial tension (which I have tons of). If this isn’t enough, Joomee is a LOVE, like a really, delicious love who you will now want to spend every day with.

Originally from Kobe, Japan, Joomee Song is a Los Angeles-based Esthetician sought out for her modern approach to skincare that combines botanical products, the latest technology, and her unique facial massage technique,KAIKA.

Drawing from her training since 1999 in the US and in Japan including certifications in Kobido, a Japanese facial massage dating back to 1472 that lifts, tones, and detoxifies the skin, and Japanese Facial Symmetry Method, a chiropractic Shiatsu movement to realign facial structure that incorporates acupressure and lymphatic drainage, Joomee developed KAIKA as a way to fuse Eastern and Western skincare philosophies to deliver healthy, glowing skin.

Relaxing and therapeutic, every treatment is tailored to the individual addressing any acne, anti-aging, preventative, reactive, or any other skincare concerns there may be.

Prior to launching her private practice, Joomee was part of some of the West Coast’s most elite medical spas and luxury hotels including Hotel Bel Air, Beverly Hills Hotels, The Langham Pasadena. She has been featured on Daily Candy, LA times, US Magazine, Extra TV, Access Hollywood,  and The Doctors.

The prices are $175 for 50 minutes  $250 for 75 minutes at the studio. Please contact Joomee directly for pricing inquiries regarding house calls, which she makes.

Juice Beauty: One of My Top Favorite Organic Products on the Market – by Jonathan Stinson

February 6, 2017

After trying four products from Juicy Beauty, The Organic Solution, I was absolutely obsessed. You can actually feel your skin hydrating as you add each product. I personally use four of Juice Beauty’s products consisting of: Organic Treatment Oil, Stem Cellular Anti-Wrinkle Moisturizer, Stem Cellular Anti-Wrinkle Eye Treatment and the Full Strength Green Apple Peel. All of these are insanely powerful and leave your skin feeling healthy with no stress of chemicals or toxins as the brand prides itself on pure organic ingredients. Juice Beauty Founder, Karen Behnke said, “At Juice Beauty we believe in advanced beauty solutions that harness the best of certified organic ingredients to deliver clinically validated skincare and vibrant plant-pigment makeup that provide beautiful results, enrich your well-being, and sustain the Earth.”

Let me break it down by product:

Organic Treatment Oil– Every organic drop delivers concentrated hydration, potent antioxidants and vital nutrients to the skin. Antioxidant-rich organic cranberry seed, grape seed and carrot seed oils are blended with essential fatty acids and botanicals to deeply moisturize for a healthy, revitalized complexion. Juice Beauty’s Organic Treatment Oil is designed for all skin types and especially beneficial for normal, dry or mature skin. This is a facial treatment oil can also be used on all dry spots including elbows, heels and even as a deep hair conditioner which I use often before I use my blow dryer.

Juice Beauty Stem Cellular Anti-Wrinkle Moisturizer– is plumped with a vitamin C, resveratrol-rich grape seed formula to create a visibly firmed appearance of the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It has certified organic, antioxidant-rich ingredients and plant oils that hydrate and improve elasticity for lasting, advanced age defy results. Juice Beauty’s Stem Cellular Moisturizer is ideal for all skin types and especially beneficial for skin showing the signs of aging including fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage.

Juice Beauty Stem Cellular Anti-Wrinkle Eye Treatment– A proprietary blend of fruit stem cells and vitamin C infused into certified organic, antioxidant-rich juices works to create a smoother, firmer appearance and improve elasticity, while reducing the appearance of dark circles and fine lines around the eyes for lasting, advanced age defy results. Juice Beauty’s Stem Cellular Anti-Wrinkle Eye Treatment is designed for all skin types and especially beneficial for skin showing the signs of aging including fine lines, wrinkles and sun damage. It renews the skin’s surface around the delicate eye area with vitamins C, E & B5. Visibly reduces appearance puffiness around the eyes with organic essential fatty acids of evening primrose, borage & linseed. I also noticed it delivers rich hydration around the eye area with organic antioxidant-rich jojoba and shea.

.

Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel Full Strength– This amazing peel exfoliates with Juice Beauty’s patented, bestselling, potent alpha and beta-hydroxy acid peel that delivers spa grade exfoliation, revealing a brighter complexion while creating firmer-looking skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation for optimum age-defying results. Juice Beauty’s Green Apple Peel Full Strength is designed for all skin types (except sensitive skin), 20’s and up and is effective for reducing the appearance of dark spots, and uneven skin tone and texture. Evens skin tone and texture with a spa grade exfoliation from a potent patented dose of alpha hydroxy acids (malic, citric & tartaric from organic fruits, glycolic and lactic acids) and beta hydroxy acid (salicylic acid from willow bark).

Get to know the wonderful Juice Beauty Founder, Karen Behnke:

Masterminded by a California team passionate about healthy lifestyles and whose organic products are backed by powerful science. It all started when Karen Behnke, a serial wellness entrepreneur, who built one of the first corporate wellness companies in the country, developed a keen interest in personal care products upon becoming pregnant with her first child at the age of 40.

Experiencing hormonal changes and the beginning of lines in her skin, Karen set out to find healthy skincare solutions that delivered visible results. She was astounded to learn that, although the skin absorbs over 60% of what is placed on it, there were very few available healthy personal care products that worked well. She wanted to create meaningful change in the beauty industry.

Years after her second child was born, Karen subsequently bought the name “Juice Beauty” in 2004 and launched the Company from scratch in 2005. Karen set out to do the impossible: to create organic and natural formulations that perform as well as conventional beauty products yet never compromise on the luxurious experience. Over 5 years, Karen’s team worked with PhD chemists, physicians, and microbiologists to perfect Juice Beauty’s chemistry. Juice Beauty’s revolutionary formulations started with a basic premise: Karen believed that by formulating with an antioxidant and vitamin-rich organic botanical juice base, rather than petroleum derivatives or added water, and combining it with powerful skin care ingredients, it could yield equal or better results than conventional or natural products. Multiple clinical testing proved her right. The company really started growing when the GREEN APPLE™ Peel – now patented – escalated to fame through celebrity favorite mentions and media awards.

Today, Juice Beauty offers award winning (InStyle, ELLE, Allure, EWG awards) skincare, makeup and hair care products that meet rigorous U.S., organic regulations supported by solid eco-values that include purchasing many ingredients locally from West Coast certified organic farmers and manufacturing strictly in the U.S.A. often with solar power, utilizing sustainable containers and printing with soy ink. Juice Beauty also provides donations to five chosen charities.
