How Does Weather Affect Your Skin?

Cold makes the skin DRY.

Hot makes the skin OILY.

How do you change your skin care routine when the seasons change?

How do you take care of your skin when there are 20-30 degree temperature changes in ONE day?

I customize all of my facials to what the skin needs.

At home if you are feeling like your skin is dry, you can use a moisturizing mask once per week.

If you are feeling like you are having extra breakouts, like I am... (I always get a little breakout on my jawline and forehead during the transition from winter to spring.)

First be kind to your skin and DON'T pick. Come see me instead!

If you want to treat minor breakouts at home, you can use a spot treatment on the breakout itself.

5 things that Spring weather can do to your skin. (I have two them!)

  • Acne breakouts.

  • Insect Bites

  • Seasonal eczema

  • Contact Dermatitis

  • Grass and Pollen Allergies

A facial can help you recover from both an ACNE breakout and DRY skin!

If you have any questions about spot treatments or moisturizing masks, please reach out or book an appointment.

Oral Health affects the Skin?!

Think that brushing and flossing your teeth is only good for your oral hygiene?

According to most dentists, oral health affects the appearance and health of your skin.

The bacteria that builds up in your mouth affects your skin. If you are noticing breakouts around your mouth or lower cheeks, it could be related to your teeth and gums.

Imagine if you have a cavity or gum disease, and every time you swallow, where does that go?

Do you floss?

Flossing your teeth is proven to be beneficial to your skin. It can even help prevent breast cancer and heart attacks.

If you are concerned about aging, you want to have regular dental check ups and a flossing routine.

We all know Sugar is connected to cavities. It is also connected to inflammation and affects on our Good bacteria/ Bad bacteria balance.

P. acnes, propionibacterium, the bacteria most often found in pimples is Propionibacterium acnes is “a facultative anaerobic Gram-positive bacterium present on human skin as part of the normal flora, as well as in the oral cavity, large intestine, conjunctiva, and external ear canal,” according to https://journals.asm.org › ... › Vol. 54, No. 4).

So, go to your dentist twice per year, and brush twice per day, and floss everyday. See if you notice a difference in your skin.

LED Light Facials

As a holistic skin therapist, I am always looking for modalities and products that help your body, skin, and face work at its optimal level in producing collagen and elastin.

This is why I chose my new piece of equipment.

The LED Light combined with the radio frequency help to firm up tissue.

Deep relaxation helps alleviate the stress of our modern world. Which in turn, helps to slow down the aging process.

Low grade everyday stress does cause the body to produce a stress hormone called cortisol. The body produces this as a natural response to stress.

Unfortunately, elevated levels of cortisol can cause aging of the skin such as fine lines and reduced immunity in the skin.

Not only am I using this modality, I also have created a very relaxing facial. Check out the video below to see what I have created for all of you.

I love creating new facials to keep your skin looking fresh and your cortisol levels low.

What is LED Light Therapy?

I use a skin safe, professional grade LED that also does radio frequency and ultrasound.

This low level light uses different colors and wavelengths to enter the skin at different depths.

Benefits of LED Light Therapy:

  • Eases fine lines

  • Makes the skin softer

  • Stimulates skin cells called fibroblasts which help make collagen

  • Collagen is important for healing wounds and keeps our skin bouncy and youthful looking

  • Eases inflammation and redness

  • Helps with acne

  • Can help with pigmentation
