Fall back in love with your skin

It’s hard to believe but it’s already time to start thinking about the fall season ahead of us. Even though fall doesn’t officially start till the 21st, most of us use Labor Day as the switch of seasons. Time to put away the bathing suits and maxi dresses and bring on the jeans and boots. Along with the weather change, post summer is the best time to start getting your skin back in good shape. It’s a great time to lighten age spots, soften rough skin and reverse wear and tear that happens during the warmer weather. Luckily, with today’s advances in skin care, these problems are much easier to address and with less disruption to your life.

The Hydrafacial is by far the most exciting treatment option that I have ever seen. This treatment allows important ingredients to penetrate the skin where they will do the most good. In the past clients had to visit a doctor in order to achieve these results and then had to endure a week of redness and peeling post treatment. The Hydrafacial has no side effects, only soft, healthy, glowing skin. During the treatment, the skin is exfoliated and smoothed, so dull, dry and rough skin that is interfering with your hydration level is safely removed. This then allows for deeper penetration of antioxidants and vitamins that have been depleted by inflammation and UV exposure. Once you introduce Vitamin C at this level you will begin to heal parched skin and even lighten some of the pigmentation that the sun left behind.

If you are prone to acne, the summer can be a double edged sword. As an Esthetician, I tell my clients to be sure to wear sunscreen every day but with the addition of the heat and humidity of the warmer months come an increase in breakouts and clogged pores. Once again the Hydrafacial uses its Vortex Fusion technology to eliminate clogged pores and its Red and Blue LED light to decrease inflammation and reduce acne causing bacteria.

Finally, the end of summer is a great time to schedule your dermatology appointment. No matter how well you take care of your skin it is always important to get regular skin checks so a doctor can see if there are any areas of concern before they become something much worse.

Fall is the perfect time to visit your Esthetician to get back on track with your skin care goals. Products usually need to be adjusted as the weather changes so take the opportunity to be sure your home care regime doesn’t need tweaking. And take advantage of all of the new treatments options such as the Hydrafacial…….you won’t be disappointed.
