What is a Boyzilian?
by Mimi Barre of International Day SpaQuestion: What is a Boyzilian?
Mimi: When a woman wears a Bikini or a man wears Speedos, they don’t want pubic hair to show out of the swimsuit. To eliminate the hair, they can shave, use a depilatory, have laser, or wax. Shaving is quick, cheap, convenient, but leaves scratchy stubble when it grows back. Shaving does not make hair grow back fuller and thicker (if it did, I would shave my head). A depilatory is a caustic lye cream that dissolves the hair below the surface of the skin. The hair grows back more slowly than with shaving and with tapered, non itchy ends. It does not affect the permanent growth of the hair. Laser is the most expensive and the most permanent.

Cat gives skin treatments
by Mimi Barre of International Day SpaQuestion: Should I have acid peel or microdermabrasion treatments on the skin on my hands?
Mimi: That is a good but controversial question. One would think that if acid peels or microderabrasion smooth out wrinkles on the face, then they would be good for the skin on the hands also. Many estheticians believe that. I am adamantly opposed to removing the top layer of dead skin from the hands.
