Professional Grade Skincare

What is considered a professional skin care product?

Professional skin care products are developed and sold for spas, physicians' offices or skin clinics. Some of the things that differentiate them from over-the-counter products are:

• They are made in small batches, allowing for better quality control.
• They go through extensive clinical testing.
• The quality of the ingredients is usually higher, and they have a higher percentage of active ingredients.
• They are formulated to be used by licensed aestheticians and physicians who have years of experience and an understanding of the skin and its function.
• Products range to address different types of skin and skin conditions.
• Contain pH-adjusted ingredients designed to support the integrity of the skin’s protective barrier.
• Don’t contain additives such as synthetic fragrances, colors, or preservatives such as parabens.

Over-the-counter skin care products are designed to be mass-produced. This means they contain preservatives to allow for manufacturing and shipping times, and they can stay on the shelves for extended periods. They also have a lower percentage of active ingredients since they are designed to work on most of the population with minimal chance of the product causing irritation.

Importance of a Good Skin Care Routine

Caring for your skin is more than just for your appearance. As the largest organ you have, your skin is essential to your general health. Having a well-thought-out skin care regimen is worth your time and energy. It is essential to take care of your skin daily to help keep it healthy.

The best way to do this is to have a skin care routine that works for you and becomes a habit. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be complicated:

1. Cleanse – wash your face gently with a product designed for your face. For dry skin, you want to stay away from cleansers that contain alcohol; if you have oily skin, stay away from oily cleansers. For other issues, such as acne, find a product that is specific to that.
2. Moisturize – this is important, regardless of the time of year or your skin type. Always moisturize after you clean your face, and don’t forget your neck area or your eyes (use a moisturizer specifically for the eye area.)
3. Sunscreen – If you are going to be outside, even for a minute, we recommend that you use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 or higher that protects from harmful UVA and UVB rays.

These are the basic steps to a great skin care routine. After that, you can add things like exfoliators, serums, masks, etc. Since no one thing works for everyone, it is always key to ensure that your routine and the products you use are effective for you.

Can't I just go into the office for treatments and services?  Why do I need a "routing" at home?

In-office skin treatments and services can be very effective at improving your skin concerns, however the results won't last as long or be as good is you don't take care of your skin on an ongoing basis.  In-office treatments and appropriate ongoing skincare are complimentary.
