Fall

Vitamin A is vital for aging skin as it stimulates the increase in fibroblasts, boosting collagen and cellular turnover. We also see improvement in circulation and reduces hyperpigmentation. Vitamin A is a resource that the skin needs 24 hours, as it is not stored in the skin. While this is critical for slowing and even reversing skin aging, many vitamin a formulas cause dryness and irritation. Selecting a formula that strengthens the skin without inflammation and exfoliation is key!

When introducing a Vitamin A, I suggest using it three nights per week. This is especially important for those not using vitamin a formulas or who have experienced dryness and irritation with vitamin a in the past. By easing the skin slowly, you will avoid becoming overly active in it s collagen and elastin development, which can lead to flaking.

Hopefully the reapplication of sun protection and application of antioxidants occurred, and damage is minimal. The pigment solutions brand has many products to help as well as the treatment room. To name a few, the Skin Brightening Cleanse, the Brightening Tonic, Vitaplex C, and of course chemical peels.

Rejuvenate Skin without Over-Exfoliating

Exfoliation, in a simple definition, is removal of dead skin cells from the epidermis. When we hear exfoliation, some may think of using a scrub, receiving a microdermabrasion, using an enzyme or getting a chemical peel. However exfoliation can come from home care topicals like glycolic acid or salicylic acid. We must be careful to not over exfoliate especially sensitive or compromised skin. Exfoliation is great to increase cellular turnover, soften texture, reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and scarring and reveal a brighter complexion.

Youthful Eyes

A solid morning and evening routine can take your results to the next level and keep your eyes rejuvenated, hydrated and looking younger around the clock! The tissue around your eye area is naturally prone to fine lines, wrinkles and puffiness, plus it can become dehydrated easily. Fine lines and wrinkles may be caused due to natural again and deterioration of collagen and elastin, plus the muscles around the eye are lose firmness. Rubbing the eyes and not wearing sunglasses will also lead to an increase in aging. Fluid retention leads to puffiness, so drinking plenty of water assists with puffy eyes. Dark circles can be triggered by a multitude of things, however drinking plenty of water, getting adequate sleep with help reduce toxins from accumulating. A few favorite products, am Vibrant eyes, under eye and neck cream, eye revitalizer, pm eye and lip serum and enhance the evening with Chrono Peptide A and Peptide 38 twice a week, apply around your eye before the eye and lip serum.

Sun Protection, yes even in the Fall!

The sun's damaging UV rays contributes to skin aging. Protecting the skin and the cells is the best way to reduce cellular damage, skin cancers, and aging. I cannot stress enough that SPF alone is not good enough it is essential to know what ingredients are in your sun protection products. Zinc Oxide is a natural compound that is nearly insoluble in water. It provides excellent protection against UVA rays also known as the aging rays, and UVB, known as burning rays, giving broad spectrum protection. Daytime Defense and eZinc are two sun protectives that have non nano zinc. It is uncoated, in its natural composition. Which means it reduces the white cast.
