All of September: At Essentials in Dodgeville and Baraboo, save $20 on an acne facial with a Clenziderm purchase

By The Refresh You Staff   08.31.10   Category: Skin, Refreshing Benefits

If you’re in a fight against acne, our September special offers a combination of expert treatment, knowledgeable advice and a powerful product.

Start with a specialized acne facial from one of our pros, complete with helpful advice about clearing and preventing acne. Then, continue your treatment at home with products from the Obagi Clenziderm system.

Clenziderm is clinically proven to fight the three main causes of acne: excess oil buildup, skin cell buildup and bacteria. While most products only control the surface of the skin, the Obagi Clenziderm system digs deep down through the layers to deliver powerful medication. Most patients see remarkable results.

Until the end of September, purchase any Clenziderm product and save $20 on an acne facial. Book your appointment today.

15-second poll: E-store convenience vs. live in-person service. Or maybe both.

The first Refresh You event: Tell us what you want, what you really really want.

By The Refresh You Staff   07.19.10   Category: Skin, Eyes

We here at Refresh You are considering plans for a cool exclusive members-only event this fall.

Trouble is, we can’t totally agree on what YOU think is cool. So we got to thinking, “What could possibly enlighten us more than the magical instant feedback of an online poll?” Our answer: “Nothing.”

So we need your help to settle an internal wager. Just answer this question:

All Refresh You polls are anonymous. And if you have any event ideas of your own, drop us a note at deanrefreshyou@gmail.com.

Wondering when to reapply sunscreen? There’s an app for that.

By The Refresh You Staff   07.05.10   Category: Skin, Refreshing Experts

Not surprisingly, we’re huge fans of sunscreen.

But we’re also the first to admit that after the first application, it gets a little tricky… when is it time to reapply? After lunch? After the next round of swimming? After just one more chapter of that wonderfully trashy novel? Tough call.

Wouldn’t it be cool if your iPhone would nudge you a bit to let you know? Or maybe give you real-time UV index numbers? Well, it can.

Here are a few apps dedicated to sunburn protection. All of them link to the Apple store, showing complete descriptions and screenshots.

Retrieves near-real-time data of the UV radiation for your location,  calculates the time you can safely expose to sun and more.

Offers local UV index forecasts, custom sunscreen reapplication reminders, individualized product recommendations for Coppertone products (of course), coupons and sun protection tips.

Gives you the UV Index for your location and any location in the United States.

Pretty cool, huh? Of course, this all depends on having some good quality sunscreen at the ready, so make sure you’re stocked up. A great place to start is at Dean Essentials Skin Care.
