2008 PRO SKINCARE Tip #1 -Skin Care Exfoliation
Taking great care of your skin includes exfoliation. Why you ask? As you age, our skin cells start to slow down (yes, just like the rest of our bodies). Your job is to make sure that your skin cells keep moving fast (like exercising for your skin cells). How can you do this?
At the spa, we have this amazing treatment with microdermabrasion and ultrasound--we call it the MEGA-MICRO. Microdermabrasion works like a sanding (pardon- sucking machine to create redness (inflammation and speeding up the skin cells) in the skin. The vacuum pressure in the machine combined with the crystals creates the exfoliation and increased turns of the skin cells. Simple exfoliation is great, but the machine has the vacuum, which in all of the major studies--it is the vacuum that actually does the trick to create younger looking skin. The surface exfoliation is nice, but the vacuum and aspiration speeds up the skin cells, thus creating better looking skin. Step 2 of the MEGA-MICRO is ultrasound to penetrate vitamins into the skin. Using topical vitamins is great, but pushing them into the skin is what creates this wonderful anti-aging treatment. Penetration of the vitamins takes about 2-3 months to see the results ( you need the skin cell cycle to turn every 21-28 days ). We recommend 6 treatments to start and then maintaining your skin with one a month.
And, you need your home care. It is great to have a skin treatment, but you need to maintain at home, in fact, if you have a budget choice between treatment and home care, always choose the home care, because it is daily. Exfoliate at least 3 times a week, to slough the face and body of dead skin cells. When the body is exfoliated, it allows the skin cells below to rise to the top smoother, clearer, brighter, happier skin. You can exfoliate with a scrub or with an acid (like lactic or glycolic acid) or a retinol like Procyte's Retinol 30. We recommend alternating scrub, acid, scrub, acid....then you will never be bored. For your body, you have to try our N. Body pumice scrub...many years in the making, it will keep your body smooth and moisturized, without scratching your skin. It is so smooth, you can actually massage the scrub into your skin for increased skin cell turnover and increased exfoliation.
Happy New Year....2008 will be Great with Super Exfoliated Skin!
