THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 1996 New business offers head to toe experience By Janice Becker As you lay back, your eyes slow- ly close, soft hands gently massage your face and stroke your brow. A warmth encompasses your face as you relax. That is just the first step in a relaxing, refreshing facial at Aes- thetics by Bonnie, a new, personal care salon which opened in Brus- sels, July 3. Aesthetician Bonnie Sallows, with eight years of experience in the business, offers complete skin and body care from tension-releas- ing facials, to manicures, pedicures and the most popular feature, brow waxing. The perfect advertisement for her business, Sallows herself has fol- lowed a regimen of cleansing, ton- ing and moisturizing for most of her 39 years. Skin health is a life-long process which changes as we age, says Sal- lows. "Your face and hands are the first impression people have. Looking after your skin is very important." What worked for the teenager will not be sufficient for older skin, she says. While sun and age dries the skin, smoking and alcohol also affect it. For prevention, Sallows recom- mends staying out of the sun as much as possible, particularly between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., using sun screen and drinking lots of water. But, to counteract those tiny lines which have already begun to show around the eyes or just to ease Brussels Mennonite Fellowship (519)887-6388 Worship Service 9:30 a.m. Jesus is Lord Guests Welcome away the tension of the stressful lives many people live in the 90s, Sallows suggests one of her proce- dures. "Healthy skin is also in the mind. Mlany clients say an appointment with me is the only hour they have to themselves all week." It is a time to lay back, relax and be pampered just a little. To start, a facial, utilizing the gentle, rhythmic motions of a Euro- pean system, Sallows cleanses, tones and moisturizes the face with vegetable-based products. What may be difficult for some is the next step, a close inspection of the skin, which allows Sallows to develop just the right combination of products to specially suit each client. "I am like a chemist," she says. "I can mix and match the components specific to the needs of each per- son." Once the analysis is complete, Sallows gives the face an enzymat- ic steam, removing the surface crust of dry, flaking skin, allowing the skin to breathe more easily. The result is smoother, brighter skin, immediately, she says. Included with the facial is an upper body massage to work out any remaining tension. Now that the face is glowing, it is time for a manicure and pedicure. Proper hand care helps prevent hangnails and soft or brittle nails. Most of the work is done on the cuticles so length of nail is not important. A hand and arm mas- sage is included -and nail polish is an option. For those walking-weary feet, which Sallows says is the most neglected part of the body until they begin to hurt, a soothing pedi- cure may perk up tired tootsies. After a soak in the massaging unit, the nails are shaped and filed, callouses are removed and refined and a touch of colour can be added to toenails. Being the victim of sexual assault is frightening and isolating, which can leave one not knowing where to turn. However, as part of the Women's Shelter in Huron County, two local women, Kim Lorimer, Brussels, and Brenda Burkholder, Blyth, have helped form the Sexual Assault Response Team (SART). SART, an in-person support ser-• vice, was first conceived by a group of volunteers attending an annual 10-week training course offered by the Women's Shelter and Counselling Services of Huron. The volunteers, trained to accom- pany victims to police stations, hospitals or the Women's Shelter, are on-call 24 hours-a-day, to pro- vide emotional and practical sup- port to women 16 years and older. Initiating the program two-years- ago, Debbie Reid, a training-course volunteer, saw a need for the in- person service and called together a Brussels People Dianne Huether is recuperating at her home after being a patient in St. Joseph's Hospital in London.

Pedicures are also good for seniors, says Sallows, because they may have difficulty reaching their feet. Waxing is a highly-efficient, temporary method of hair removal, which is safe for all areas of the body. Sallows uses the roll-on method instead of the pot-and-spat- ula system because it is gentler on the skin. A service available for the face is brow waxing, which, Sallow says, normally lasts three to four weeks, depending on the hair growth. The level of pain is different for each client because of tolerance, but the more often it is done initial- ly, the less it will have to be done group from the session. Along with Terri Shobrook, the pair developed a steering committee which consist- ed of Lorimer, Burkholder, Angela Brindley, Lori Stanley, Sharon Marton and Goderich OPP Consta- ble John Marshall, who acted as liaison between police services and the committee. After a year of planning and con- sultation with lawyers, police, doc- tors and other shelters, SART took their concept to the Women's Shel- ter and Counselling Services in March, which then formally accept- ed it as part of their volunteer pro- gram. Crisis telephone and appoint- ment-based counselling have always been part of the Women's Shelter mandate. Anyone interested in volunteer- ing with the Women's Shelter may contact Co-ordinator Jean Gandon at 519-524-9718 or leave a mes- sage with the shelter at 524-5333.
