TREND: AVOIDING THE PLASTIC SURGEON

 IF YOU THOUGHT THAT “SERIOUS” HI-TECH SKINCARE WAS JUST FOR OLDER SKINS. THINK AGAIN.

 Today most women recognize that their skin is one of their most precious assets and will go to great length to protect it. “Women as young as 20 are beginning to spend time, money and effort to ensure that their skin will remain youthful for as long as possible”. 

Trends have also seen a change in the way women are approaching surgery.  “Whilst the numbers still show that women are flocking to plastic surgeons and dermatologist for injectables, they still require topical products such as  Alpha-Botox with Hexapeptide to prolong the results in between visits. Women who do not want cosmetic surgery are instead investing in paramedical skin care to stave off the ageing process, along with treatments such as Microdermabrasion, LED photofacials, Microcurrent for non-surgical facial treatments.  The Lam Probe and Cryprobe can also eliminate signs of aging, like skin tages, moles, telangiectasia, fibomas, keratoses, warts, cysts and hyperpigmentation.

As highly effective, next-generation products such as Methode Physiodermie, MD Skincare, Prior (Bioengineered skin care) Dermalogica, and Phyto 5.  True and non-invasive therapies such as the Derma.Pod, LED Photofacials,  Lam and Cryo Probe becoming  available to consumers, more and more women will choose to protect their skin from the signs of ageing by using products rather than going under the surgeon’s knife.

Forever Beautiful

Enhancing your natural beauty and maintaining a healthy complexion are easy once you understand proper skin care. 

Here’s what it takes to look radiant through you 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's and beyond!

20% of our skins aging we have no control over.  80% we can control through topical and internal nutrients.

AS GOOD AS IT GETS / THE SKIN YOU'RE BORN WITH 

Birth control with hormones fluctuation,  incorrect self extractions causing scarring and using too aggressive peroxides to try and eliminate and repair breakouts combine to create troubled skin.  Healing needs topical vitamins to repair and treat instead of extractions. With department store overdosing, drying agent dehydration is usually very evident. 

As I have said this is as good as it gets.

* skins condition is at its peak with elastin and collagen being very strong, and each cell covered in fat makes the face nice and plump and youthful looking - no lines or wrinkles however; heredity and environmental influences effect all this.

* establish a relationship with our educated skin care therapist, hydration with a humectant (draws water to the surface) to hydrate topically.  Too much heavy product will cause you to be puffy or break out with sebum plugs in the pores, deep cyctic pimples or painful bumps can be very visible.  Time to treat with no mineral oils, fermaldihyde, or sd alcohol.

* start an effective home care routine for good quality long-term benefits

* 14 to 25 days for cell turnover, it’s very quick, exfoliation will encourage cell turn over, but too much could cause irritation. 

* cleansing, balancing and sun screen for long term results spf 15/30, epf (Idebenone) daily

* Fat cushions and plumps the skin making it appear clear of wrinkles. Sebum production is healthy or overactive.

·        Prevention, prevention, prevention the key at this stage

·        80% of your sun damage later in years will happen in the cells by the time your 18 yrs. old - it just takes a while for it to reach the surface.

·        UVB rays do the burning but UVA rays cause the damage by altering your DNA and generating free radical damage and accelerate aging of the skin

·        active antioxidants introduced (vit E, Vit A, VitC) keep in mind the vitamins that you swallow, less than 10% will make it to the skin, internal & EXTERNAL vitamins are required

·        VIT A normalized epidermal skin structures

·        VIT C and E work in together to fight free radicals, its like CPR for the skin          (Correct, Protect, Renew)

* no artificial fragrances, sd alcohol, fermaldihyde, lanolin or mineral oils should be found in your products at any stage of aging.

·        professional treatment done every 6 / 8 weeks with a minimum of seasonally (4) each year

·        learn how to deal with stress and have a balanced lifestyle

* home care double cleansing 2x a day, exfoliation and treatment cream extremely important

THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM / THE SKIN YOU’VE WORKED ON

Your life stage is wearing many hats, mother, sister, wife, chief, chauffer, laundry mat, friend or everything possible.  No time for you at this stage.  On the contrary, we need to show our children that it is extremely important to take a few minutes for yourself on a daily basis.  With just 2 minutes a day, in the morning you should have time to double cleanse, exfoliate, treat and moisturize your skin you will benefit from the cumulative effect.

* the effects of the sun damage begin to emerge; first lines, small or faint sunspots, uneven skin tone, superficial dehydration are starting to show

* leading to creamier cleansers and slightly heavier moisturizers

* changes are taking place in you skin and body, your loosing collagen & elastin at a rate of 1% per year starting at 30 yrs. old.  PEPTIDES begin to be implemented  (mimic collagen

*  exfoliation (daily or weekly depending) essential to reduce melanocytes (brown spots) that start to show.  Sometime even a cure to the skin is necessary done for a month at a time.

* hormonal fluctuation plays a key role and you need to understand these changes on your estrogen and progesterone levels and how they effect the skin.

* consistant nourishment, anti-aging & products for sensitivity addressed at this stage

* cell turn over at about 30 days

* spf 15/30 still remains a key step to help fight free radical damage on a daily basis.

* sun damage starts to manifest itself a little more, with slight skin tone variations

* smoking ages your skin by 10% and you’ll get 50% less results if smoking and should be expected from the products they use due to the lack of oxygen in the cells

* laugh lines, brow crease and nasal labeal folds are appearing

* professional treatment every 5/6 weeks or seasonally (4) per year, is better than nothing

* home care cleaning, stabilizing, exfoliation, eye care, treatment creams importan

* moisturizers with hyaluronic acid to boost moisture levels an asset

 INGREDIENTS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT for example LAVENDER grown IN SUN OR SHADE will change the effects and potency of that lavender

PERRY MENOPAUSAL / THE SKIN YOU HAVE CREATED

Since your coming into yourself during this decade, all the years are showing themselves.

* conditions like rosacea and spider veins emerge during this decade because of capillaries dilating and the skin thinning out.

* elastin comes to the surface and cross linking causing a top-heavy effect that can’t be supported by the lower levels of the skin resulting in deeper wrinkles, some sagging,  and broken capillaries. Dehydration become more visible and the skin feels a little tired.

* loss of hyaluronic acid in the skin means skin looks less “plump”

* nourish & strengthen your skins defense. Increase the type of exfoliation, vitamins, peptides and Essential Oils, richer eye creams, heavier night creams to soothe and nourish drier skin conditions, boosters and serums need to be added to your daily program.

* avoid the urge to mix product lines, chemist do years of studies to see how products work together synergistic. Contra indications can start along with dermatitis effects.  You’ll have no guarantees of results from any of the products when mixed together.

* cell turnover reaches 40 - 45 days

* start firming and elasticity products, even if an oily skin you must add in your anti-aging products

* sun screen spf 30 important as long as skin can tolerate ( if oily, can be to much otherwise use spf 15)

* peptides, aha, bha, great at this stage (not for prolonged periods however; due to thinning the skin too much). When used as a series you should expect great results.

* higher free radical protection is required

* your collagen and elastin is depleted by 15%

* EPF environmental protection factor – 1000 more powerful than CoQ10

* Urban pollution is caused by oxidizing agents (TIN or an APPLE) like gaseous (nitrogenous oxides, ozone, sulphur, carbon) hydrocarbons, solvents and dust of all kinds. These are all contributing to premature aging.  All of these attach themselves to any exposed surface including YOUR SKIN + age it.

OUR RITE OF PASSAGE / THE SKIN YOU KNOW DESERVE 

* your body is redistributing fat at this age. Muscles slack and weaken leading to sagging skin particularly at the jaw line and forehead,

* sun screen once again spf 30 essential

* VIT. C, E, A, F the hydrating creams act with peptides and vitamins. These strong antioxidant will help fight free radicals.  A weekly mask rich in oil will help soothe skin. Your life style plays an important role during this decade as years of stress can take their toll on your body and skin.

* address redness and irritatio. Now is the time to rework your basic skin-care regime. If you haven’t already done so you shouldn’t be using the same products you did in your teen years or even in your 20’s, as your skins age has doubled & needs more active ingredients

* deep dehydration showing and the free radical damage apparent now

* cell turn over has reached 55 days or more  so you know this buy how long it takes to heal.
