VIBRANT SKIN

There are an overwhelming number of skin care products out on the market. How are you to know which products are right for you? The categories of skin care products are different and produce different results. The medical professionals at The Spa Clinic can guide you in selecting skin care products which will help with your specific needs.

Healthy skin displays a combination of the following traits:

  • Hydrated
  • Even pigmentation and skin tone
  • Normal pore size
  • Smoothness and firmness

HOW TO CHOOSE A SKIN CARE PROGRAM

Anytime you’re in search of a new skin care regimen, it’s truly best to consult a physician and your spa provider. The number of different products available can be confusing; a medical professional can offer the best recommendation for specific products that are well-suited to treat your individual skin care issues.

Below are a few examples of the types of products available:

  • Tretinoin, Retinols and Retinaldehyde: These products are Vitamin A derivatives which are effective for treating dark spots, rough skin, and fine wrinkles caused by sun damage.
  • Hydroxy Acids: These acids naturally occur in some plants and fruits and work to stimulate dead skin cells so they can be removed more easily. This process allows a new layer of skin to be revealed, which displays a smoother texture and more even coloring. The acids also work to lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Antioxidants: Antioxidants fight free radical damage and the breakdown of collagen due to many factors, including aging, sun damage, and stress.
  • Growth Factors: These new ingredients are being used in skin care products to stimulate the growth of new collagen.

OTHER METHODS FOR IMPROVING THE SKIN

Beyond using skin care products, practicing these activities can also improve the health and beauty of your skin:

  • Do not smoke
  • Keep your body hydrated
  • Maintain a balanced, healthy diet
  • Get enough sleep and reduce stress
  • Use sunscreen on a daily basis and reapply as directed
