Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

First in a series.

There are many recommended skin care habits universally deemed “good” for you.

But, sometimes you may have too much of a good thing.

According to the Skincare-news.com team,
some “good” skin care habits may actually be more detrimental than helpful.

Habit: Adhering to the Same Skin Care Routine

Daily routines of cleansing and moisturizing are vital
for maintaining healthy skin and avoiding clogged pores,
breakouts and thirsty skin.

BUT:

While consistency is key, it can lead to
lackluster skin and little to no improvement
because your skin becomes used to the same products.

SO:

Change Your Routine!

Try a higher concentration of ingredients.

If a topical treatment with 2.5 percent benzoyl peroxide
isn’t doing the trick for your acne,
try one with 5 percent.

If a cleanser with 15 percent glycolic acid still leaves your skin looking dull,
try one with 20 percent.

Have you noticed this?

Tell me your experience in the comment box.

Listen to your skin and adjust for the seasons as necessary.
Better yet, ask your aesthetician at Ageless Remedies SouthPark!

Med Spa vs DIY

Winter's Here

Winterize Your Skin!

Cold winter weather has arrived.
Dermatologist  David Green M.D.  shares these thoughts
for winterizing your skin to  maintain
glowing skin during the  harsh winter months.

Help your skin survive the winter season!

• HYDRATE

During the winter months, your skin will be most susceptible to dehydration.
This is because cold dry air depletes your skin of moisture.
You may need to upgrade your moisturizer
or enhance your current moisturizer with a hydrating serum.

Time to check in with your aesthetician at our med spa
to adjust your skin care regimen.

• EXFOLIATE

Yes, it is still important to exfoliate during the winter months.
Getting rid of those dead, dry cells in the outermost layer of your skin
will make it appear more radiant.  A professional microdermabrasion
or chemical peel package at our med spa  will
keep your skin healthy and glowing.

In addition, your moisturizer will penetrate more thoroughly
and provide greater benefit.

• PROTECT

Use your sun screen.
Just because you are no longer  laying out by the pool
does not mean you are not exposing your skin to UV rays.
UV rays are present all year round.

Dr. Green’s got it goin’ on!

Seriously, following his advice will minimize the
potential damage that dry winter weather can do.

Are You Concerned About Parabens?

Ageless Remedies SouthPark Med Spa blends science and beauty.

You don’t need to be afraid of parabens.
Why?
Because science has not yet proven parabens are harmful.

Here’s some science, from Dr. Cynthia Bailey’s Skin Care Blog.
She has practiced dermatology in California for over 20 years:

“Years of paraben usage, and numerous other scientific studies
over the past 50 or so years, have failed to show any causal adverse effects
from the use of parabens and UV exposure in humans.
(This is) a topic that I think is critically important, (so) I wanted to also
get the opinion of a skin product chemist that I greatly admire and this is what he said:

“The FDA has been continually calling for scientific papers
and studies regarding paraben safety
(especially since it is a food preservative)
and to date they have found no risk in using parabens.

They (parabens) are the principle preservative
used since World War II and even more compelling
is the fact that epidemiological studies
(studies on large groups of real people)
have not shown increased risk from usage (of parabens).
There is no definitive peer reviewed study
(this is the kind of study that is really strong
and respected by scientists and doctors)
relating paraben and UV combination risk in humans.”

Dr. Bailey adds: “I am always ‘keeping my ear to the ground’
about parabens for both my patients, myself and my family.
I personally use products with parabens.
My family, friends and patients use products with parabens.
I’m super heath conscious and want to make sure
that none of us jeopardize our health
doing something risky that can be avoided…
I believe that it’s always important to ‘follow our gut’
in these situations because science can be wrong,
moves slowly and peace of mind is important.

“My personal conclusion… is that parabens
are better than the alternatives.

“There are some natural preservatives,
but products made with them don’t last long
once opened and are thus impractical for most of us.
They are also typically very expensive
because of their short shelf life.

“I’ve tried a number of naturally preserved
skin care products and I find that they go bad
and smell ‘off’ quickly.”

At our med spa, we, too, are super careful
about the products we choose to offer our clients.

Ageless Elaine wouldn’t have it any other way!

Med Spa Myths or Don’t Waste Your Money

She Knows the Truth

Skin Care Myths or

Don’t Waste Your Money

Part II

“(The role of) a skin care professional has a large educational component that mandates remaining current in the field, as well as providing education on skin health to clients and patients…(We) are not selling hope in a jar, but rather providing realistic and truthful solutions to help deal with extrinsic and intrinsic aging.”

Here are 5 important facts from an article in Skin Inc.
by Carol and Rob Trow:

1. Be careful how you wash your face. Overuse of scrubs can remove protective oils and contribute to aging.  Less is more, and a gentle cleanser and light moisturizer work well for most people.
2. Packaging IS important — not for aesthetic reasons, but to protect the integrity of the ingredients. Don’t waste your money on clear or transparent containers.
3. There is NO evident that the topical application of collagen or elastin can penetrate the dermis.
   
4. If a product sounds too good to be true, the claims are probably false. Skin damage and signs of aging cannot be repaired quickly.
   
5. Less is more when it comes to skin care products.  You should use only what you need, usually about a pea-sized dot.

I know that skin care products are expensive but I hope you
get an expert’s opinion about what is best FOR YOU.

Have you bought some products, even expensive ones,
and then been disappointed?
