Love your skin in February

TREAT YOURSELF

Spoil your skin this month and stock up on medical grade skincare products that prevent, repair, and protect you all year long.

What you use at home matters

Just like going to the gym, you have to keep up with your skincare routine every day. Using effective, medical grade skincare products at home can make a huge difference in the health of your skin. The products you use morning and night not only maintain the results from your med spa and cosmetic treatments, they prevent and protect you from further damage like lifestyle stressors, the environment, and pollution. Keeping up with good skincare has some big time benefits…

• Prevention vs correction - there has been a big push towards prejuvenation and wanting to prevent skin care problems instead of correcting them at a later date. This approach encourages regular skincare earlier and more often, instead of fixing concerns all at once later in life.

• Younger looking skin - effective skincare products can help keep your skin in check as you get older. After the age of 30, the cellular turnover of skin cells slows and this can lead to dull, tired looking skin. Using medical grade skincare products can help you effectively exfoliate and remove dead skin cells forcing your body to push the new, plump, youthful cells to the surface of the skin to give you radiant, glowing skin.

• Clearer complexion - As you shed skin cells throughout the day, it is important to keep the surface of the skin clean and clear to help prevent congestion. Lifestyle, hormones, and age can affect our skin and contribute to bothersome breakouts. Quality skincare products are formulated with potent ingredients without irritating impurities which can keep your skin in balance with gentle exfoliation and also replenishing the skin barrier.

Gotta have products - Exfoliants

Helping keep cellular turnover on schedule! Exfoliants keep pores clear of dirt and debris, soften and prevent fine lines, and give skin an overall glow by promoting new skin cells. These are must-have-products in any regimen.

• SkinMedica Retinol .5 - a derivative of Vitamin A with an easy and effective delivery without redness or peeling

• IS Clinical Active Serum - botanical blend of alpha hydroxy acids ideal for normal to oily skin to help with acne, brightening and anti-aging

• ZO Instant Pore Refiner - a derivative of Salicylic Acid, a beta hydroxy acid to exfoliate dead skin cells

• Use of any of these products can make skin more prone to photo-damage from the sun, so daily use of a broad-spectrum SPF is a must! We love SkinMedica Essential Defense SPF with its great texture and application, its perfect for almost everyone.

Latest addition - Growth Factor Serums

There’s a lot of buzz around growth factors and we think they are worth the hype! Growth factors are proteins that are naturally produced by skin cells to help repair and rejuvenate the skin. These serums can be added to your daily regimen to help boost your skincare results.

• InfiniVive MD Daily Serum - Derived from ultrapure human stem cells, this unique formulation includes a powerful concentration of naturally occurring growth factors, matrix proteins and cytokinal peptides which are key to revealing more youthful skin. It is the only product with the highest concentration of Human Mesenchymal Stem Conditioned Media (listed as the first ingredient).

• SkinMedica TNA Advanced+ Serum - A combination of growth factor serum and powerful peptide blends to address sagging skin in as little as 12-weeks. This dual chambered product is the upgraded version of the original TNS Serum except this product is fragrance-free, colorless and has a matte finish.

Self-care Skincare

We love that self-care is having a moment. Let’s keep that going! What better way to unwind and relax (besides stretching or a hot bath!) then to do something beneficial for your skin and overall well being. Here are a few products we like to add into rotation every week.

• ZO Enzymatic Peel - smooth this peel on your face for a few minutes or leave it on overnight! With papain and bromelain enzymes (papaya and pineapple!) and powerful glycolic acid, this mask leaves skin brighter and revitalized. Can be used twice a week for glowing skin. PRO TIP - put on the backs of your hands before bed to gently exfoliate and expect smooth skin in the morning.

• HydroJelly Mask - mix it up with these restorative (and fun!) facial masks to replenish the skin barrier and improve moisture retention in the skin. Perfect for all skin types, the HydroJelly Mask comes with a variety of options but all the masks hydrate, protect, and replenish the skin.

• SkinMedica Instant Eye Bright Masks - apply these hydrogel patches made with golden root and golden herb extract under the eyes to hydrate and reduce the appearance of puffy, tired eyes. Perfect to use on the delicate under eye area weekly or use anytime for an instant refresh.
