At Red Carpet Lash & Skin Spa, we believe beauty begins with knowledge. When it comes to enhancing your natural lashes, our clients from Chicago to Willowbrook often ask the same question: Are lash extensions safe for my natural lashes?

The answer is yes — with the right application, the right products, and the right professional touch.

In this blog, we're taking you behind the scenes to explore the science of lash extensions — how they work, why they’re safe, and what you need to know to keep your natural lashes healthy and strong.

What Are Lash Extensions?

Lash extensions are semi-permanent fibers — often silk, mink, or synthetic — carefully applied to each individual natural lash using a medical-grade adhesive. At Red Carpet Lash & Skin Spa in Willowbrook, our certified lash artists custom-style each set based on your eye shape, lifestyle, and desired look. Whether you’re after soft and subtle or full red carpet drama, we create a look that's all you.more

Loved by celebrities and skincare enthusiasts alike, this multi-step facial deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates your skin in a way that leaves it looking fresh, plump, and luminous.

How Does a HydraFacial Work?

The HydraFacial is a medical-grade facial that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection in one treatment. It uses a patented Vortex-Fusion Technology, which gently removes impurities while delivering nourishing serums deep into the skin.

Here’s what happens during the treatment:

1. Cleanse & Exfoliate – Removes dead skin cells and reveals a fresh layer of skin.
2. Gentle Acid Peel – A mild glycolic and salicylic acid blend loosens dirt and debris from pores.
3. Extraction – A painless suction clears congestion, blackheads, and impurities.

5. Protection & Glow – Custom serums and LED light therapy enhance radiance and target skin concerns.more

At Red Carpet Lash & Skin Spa, we believe skincare is more than a routine—it’s an art. No two complexions are the same, and your skin deserves care as unique as you are. That’s why our customized facials are designed to elevate your experience, addressing your individual needs with sophistication and expertise.

As the cold winter months settle in, there’s no better time to indulge in a facial tailored just for you. Let us transform your skin and leave you feeling radiant, rejuvenated, and ready to take on the season.

Why Customization is Key

Your skin is as unique as your fingerprint. Its needs change with the seasons, your lifestyle, and even your stress levels. That’s why a one-size-fits-all approach simply doesn’t work.

At Red Carpet, we specialize in bespoke treatments that adapt to your specific skin type, concerns, and goals. Whether you're combating dryness from winter air, fighting breakouts, or targeting fine lines, our custom facials deliver results with luxurious precision.more

As the winter chill fully sets in, it’s not just your wardrobe that needs an upgrade—your beauty routine does, too! Cold, dry air and holiday stress can take a toll on your skin and lashes. But with a few simple tweaks, you can stay radiant all season long.

Lash Care for Winter

Winter air can be drying, even for your lash extensions. Keep them looking their best by avoiding steam and extreme temperature changes, which can weaken the adhesive. Use a lash-safe cleanser to gently remove holiday makeup and apply a nourishing lash serum to keep them strong and fluttery.

Skin Survival Tips

Cold air outside and indoor heating can lead to dry, dull skin. Hydrate with a rich moisturizer containing ceramides or hyaluronic acid, and don’t skip sunscreen—yes, even in winter! We recommend Hydropeptide's Power Lift Moisturizer. This luxurious moisturizer is formulated with pineapple ceramides and shea butter to deeply hydrate and seal in moisture. Its unique blend of peptides helps firm and plump the skin, promoting a more lifted and rejuvenated appearance. Exfoliate weekly to slough off dead skin and reveal your natural glow.

The holiday season is here, and there’s no better place to treat yourself—and those you love—than Red Carpet Lash & Skin Spa! Whether you're looking to look your best for holiday gatherings or searching for thoughtful gifts, we have something special for everyone.

As the leaves start to change and the temperatures drop in Illinois, it's time to rethink your skincare routine. Fall brings cooler, drier air, which can be harsh on your skin—especially after months of sun exposure. The shift in weather can leave your skin feeling dry, flaky, and dull. To stay ahead of the seasonal changes, incorporating regular facials and using the right products is essential. At Red Carpet Lash & Skin Spa, we’re here to guide you through a seamless transition to healthy, radiant skin for the cooler months ahead.

The Impact of Fall Weather on Skin

As fall sets in, the humidity drops, and colder winds start to blow through. The result? Your skin loses moisture faster, leaving it more prone to dryness, flakiness, and irritation. The sudden change from warm, humid days to brisk, dry weather can lead to dehydration, increased sensitivity, and dullness. Plus, if you've spent a lot of time in the sun this summer, you may notice hyperpigmentation—dark spots that can appear more prominent as your tan fades.more

Aging is a natural process, but the good news is that modern skincare has evolved to help us age more gracefully. From cutting-edge formulations to scientifically-backed ingredients, advanced skincare offers powerful tools to combat signs of aging and restore your skin’s youthful glow. At the heart of this revolution are peptides—remarkable molecules that can work wonders for the skin. And when combined with a state-of-the-art product like SkinCeuticals P-TIOX Anti-Aging Serum, the results can be transformative. Let’s dive into how advanced skincare, the magic of peptides, and the innovative SkinCeuticals P-TIOX Serum can help you turn back the clock on aging.

The Role of Advanced Skincare in Combating Aging

Aging shows up in our skin as fine lines, wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and uneven tone. These changes are driven by various factors, including sun exposure, environmental pollutants, lifestyle choices, and the natural slowdown of collagen production as we age. Advanced skincare harnesses the latest scientific innovations to target these issues at their source. By incorporating high-performance ingredients and state-of-the-art formulations, these products go beyond basic hydration and nourishment to actively repair and rejuvenate the skin.more

Summer is a time for fun in the sun, but for those dealing with rosacea and hyperpigmentation, it can also be a season of skin challenges. At Red Carpet Lash & Skin Spa, we're dedicated to helping you maintain a radiant, even complexion all year round. Let’s dive into what hyperpigmentation and rosacea are, and share our top tips for keeping these conditions at bay during the sunny months.

Hyperpigmentation & Rosacea 101

Hyperpigmentation occurs when melanin, the pigment that gives our skin its color, is overproduced. This leads to dark spots and uneven skin tone. Common triggers include sun exposure, hormonal changes, and inflammation.

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterized by redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes small, red, pus-filled bumps. It can be exacerbated by heat, sun exposure, spicy foods, and stress.

Both conditions can be worsened by environmental factors like UV rays and pollution, making it essential to adopt a targeted skincare routine, especially during summer. Here are our top recommendations:more

In the world of skincare, few treatments are as universally celebrated as the HydraFacial. Renowned for its ability to deliver instant, glowing results, the HydraFacial is a favorite among beauty enthusiasts and dermatologists alike. At Red Carpet Lash & Skin Spa, we offer a range of Hydrafacial options designed to address your unique skin needs and leave you feeling red carpet ready. Let’s dive into what makes HydraFacials so special and explore the luxurious options available at our spa.

What is a HydraFacial?

A HydraFacial is a non-invasive skincare treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection in one procedure. The process uses a patented Vortex-Fusion delivery system to exfoliate, extract impurities, and deliver vital nutrients to the skin, including antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. This multi-step treatment is suitable for all skin types and addresses a variety of skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and acne.more

As summer approaches, it’s the perfect time to refresh and rejuvenate our skin, preparing it for the glorious sunny days ahead. At Red Carpet Lash & Skin Spa, we’re excited to introduce you to a transformative skin treatment that will revolutionize your skincare routine just in time for summer: the Glo2Facial.

What is the Glo2Facial?

The Glo2Facial isn’t just another facial; it’s a groundbreaking 3-in-1 skincare marvel that combines exfoliation, infusion therapy, and oxygenation to breathe new life into your skin. This innovative treatment is designed to enhance blood flow and nutrient absorption, making it a powerhouse for achieving luminous, healthy skin.

The Glo2Facial uses a unique handheld device that rejuvenates your skin in multiple steps. First, it exfoliates dead skin cells, clearing away debris and paving the way for deep nourishment. Then, using an ultrasound/RF attachment, the treatment infuses your skin with a rich blend of serums, tailored to your skin's needs, reaching deeper into the dermal layer. What sets the Glo2Facial apart is its ability to stimulate the natural oxygenation of the skin from within—a process known as the 'Bohr effect'.more

Red Carpet is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its latest addition – The Skin Spa, a haven for those seeking a range of therapeutic and results-oriented skin treatments. The spa's commitment to enhancing natural beauty is epitomized through a carefully curated selection of services, with a focus on providing an indulgent experience for guests.

In the pursuit of timeless beauty and flawless skin, individuals are turning to cutting-edge cosmetic procedures to enhance their appearance. Botox® injections have emerged as a trusted solution, offering a range of benefits that cater to those looking to combat dynamic wrinkles and fine lines. Let's delve into the unique advantages of Botox® injections and understand how this procedure stands out.

Botox® Injections: A Time-Tested Elixir for Expression Lines

Renowned in the cosmetic industry, Botox® injections derive from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. These injections are celebrated for their capacity to temporarily paralyze facial muscles, effectively reducing dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions. The distinctive benefits of Botox® injections include:

1. Wrinkle Reduction: Botox® specifically targets expression lines, such as crow's feet, forehead lines, and frown lines, resulting in visibly smoother skin.
2. Preventive Measures: Acting as a preventive measure, Botox® not only treats existing wrinkles but also hinders the formation of new lines by relaxing facial muscles.
3. Quick and Painless: Botox® injections are known for their speed and minimal discomfort. Often requiring just a brief appointment, this procedure boasts no downtime, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.more

In the fast-paced world we live in, maintaining optimal health and vitality is essential for a fulfilling life. While a balanced diet and regular exercise are fundamental, sometimes our bodies need an extra boost to perform at their best. Enter intravenous (IV) therapy and B12 injections, two powerful tools gaining popularity for their impressive array of health benefits.

IV Therapy: Replenishing Nutrients Directly

Intravenous therapy involves the administration of vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream. This method allows for faster absorption and ensures that the body receives the full potency of the substances, unlike oral supplements that may be affected by digestion.

Rapid Nutrient Absorption

One of the primary advantages of IV therapy is the speed at which nutrients are delivered to the body. This allows for a quick and effective replenishment of essential vitamins and minerals, supporting overall health and well-being.

Increased Energy Levels

IV therapy can be a game-changer for those struggling with fatigue or low energy levels. By delivering a powerful blend of energy-boosting vitamins, such as B-complex vitamins, IV therapy helps enhance cellular energy production and combat fatigue.more

As we look forward to the grand opening of the Skin Spa at Red Carpet, it's only fitting to explore the transformative benefits of the advanced skincare treatments we will be offering. In an era where self-care is paramount, these innovative procedures have become increasingly popular for anyone seeking effective solutions beyond traditional skincare routines. Let's look deeper into this fountain of youth! Which treatment are you most excited about?

Custom Facials: Relaxation with Targeted Results

Indulge in personalized skincare bliss with our custom facials tailored to your needs.

Chemical Peels: Renew and Rejuvenate

Chemical peels are a powerful tool in the skincare arsenal, offering a deep exfoliation that removes dead skin cells and stimulates collagen production. By using a combination of acids, chemical peels help reduce fine lines, improve skin texture, and fade hyperpigmentation. The result is a fresh, radiant complexion that unveils the natural beauty beneath.more

As the autumn leaves begin to fall and the weather takes on a crisp, chilly edge, it's not just your wardrobe that requires an update. Your skin, the most exposed organ of your body, faces its unique set of challenges as temperatures drop. The biting cold can strip away the natural moisture from your skin, leaving it parched, dull, and sometimes even flaky. The importance of a robust skincare regimen increases multifold during these months, and one treatment that's creating waves in the skincare world is the Hydrafacial. Here's everything you need to know about it and why it's a must-try this season.

Hydrafacial: Beyond Traditional Facials

At first glance, a Hydrafacial might sound like just another facial on the spa menu, but delve a little deeper and you'll find it's far from ordinary. Unlike traditional facials, which focus on manual extractions and sometimes might be a little harsh for sensitive skins, the Hydrafacial uses a unique patented technology.

A Hydrafacial typically involves three core steps:more

The world of beauty has evolved over the years, and so have the techniques to enhance the eyes - the proverbial "windows to the soul." Two of our most popular service offerings are lash extensions and a lash lift and tint. If you're struggling to decide between these options or are unaware of the differences between classic, hybrid, and volume lash extensions, read on to learn more!

Lash Extensions

Lash extensions involve attaching individual or multiple synthetic or mink lashes to each of your natural lashes. This gives your lashes a fuller, longer, and more dramatic appearance. Lash extensions are the ultimate confidence booster. There are primarily three types of lash extension styles:

· Classic Lashes: This style is where a single lash extension is applied to a single natural lash. It's the most natural-looking extension and is perfect for those who have a good number of natural lashes and want a subtle enhancement.

· Hybrid Lashes: A blend of classic and volume techniques, hybrid lashes offer a balanced, fluffier appearance. This style gives the lashes a slightly denser look than classic lashes but is less dramatic than full volume lashes.more

When it comes to framing your face and enhancing your overall appearance, brows play a crucial role. With trends constantly evolving, achieving the perfect set of brows can be a challenging task. Fortunately, the brow experts at Red Carpet have a solution: brow lamination. This revolutionary treatment has taken the world by storm, offering a plethora of benefits that have made it a go-to option for those seeking impeccably groomed eyebrows. We will break down the benefits of brow lamination below so you can decide whether it is right for you.

What is Brow Lamination?

Brow lamination is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure designed to groom and reshape the eyebrows. The process involves applying a series of specially formulated products to the brows, which help to relax and realign the brow hairs. This results in a well-defined, full, and natural-looking arch that complements the individual's facial features.

The Benefits of Brow Lamination: more

Summer is a time of warmth, outdoor adventures, and radiant sun-kissed skin. However, it is essential to take steps to maintain that coveted summer glow. A safe and effective way to achieve and preserve healthy, luminous skin is through HydraFacial Treatments. This revolutionary skincare procedure has gained immense popularity for its ability to rejuvenate and revitalize the skin.

Understanding the HydraFacial Treatment:

HydraFacial is a non-invasive, multi-step facial treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and protection. It utilizes a unique vortex technology that deeply cleanses and nourishes the skin, improving its texture, tone, and overall appearance. The treatment is customizable, targeting specific skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne, and sun damage.more

In a world where harmful environmental factors are becoming increasingly prevalent, protecting our skin has become more critical than ever. Sunlight, though a source of energy and vitamin D, can also inflict long-term damage on our skin. Fortunately, there's a simple solution to combat the harmful effects of the sun's rays: skincare products containing SPF.

• Shielding Your Skin from Harmful UV Rays:
• The primary role of SPF-infused skincare products is to shield your skin from the detrimental effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause premature aging, including the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots. More importantly, it increases the risk of developing skin cancer, including melanoma, the deadliest form of the disease. By using skincare products such as SkinCeuticals daily broad-spectrum sunscreens, you create a protective barrier that helps to minimize the absorption of UV radiation and reduces the damage caused by the sun.

You've taken the plunge and treated yourself to a gorgeous set of lash extensions. Your eyes look captivating, and you feel like a true red carpet icon. But wait, there's more to maintaining those stunning lashes than just getting them done. To keep them looking flawless and to ensure the health and longevity of your natural lashes, proper aftercare is essential. Let the experts at Red Carpet walk you through the dos and don'ts of lash extension aftercare, so you can enjoy your beautiful lashes for as long as possible.

• Gentle Handling: Once you've had your lash extensions applied, it's important to remember that they are delicate. Avoid rubbing or pulling on them, as this can cause premature shedding or damage. Be mindful when washing your face, drying your eyes, or applying makeup. Use a gentle touch and avoid any excessive tugging or rubbing motions.

Avoid Moisture and Steam: In the first 24 to 48 hours after getting lash extensions, it's crucial to keep them dry. Avoid any activities that may expose your lashes to excessive moisture, such as steam rooms, saunas, or swimming. Water can weaken the adhesive bond and lead to premature lash loss. After the initial 48 hours, you can resume your regular activities, but it's still advisable to minimize exposure to excessive moisture.more
