▫️When it comes to achieving skin health, consistency is key! It's about what we do everyday that creates change. We find this to be true in many areas of our lives including goals, nutrition, fitness, and even our mental health.

▫️Establishing a skincare routine, with products appropriate for your skin, and using the proper amounts, in the correct order, is the recipe for creating and maintaining healthy skin for anyone regardless of age, ethnicity, skin condition or skin type.

The proper regimen can correct:
▫️acne
▫️sun damage
▫️pigmentation
▫️fine lines and shallow wrinkles
▫️protect against future damage

See your skin care professional to establish a proper routine and achieve your personal skin health goals.




☀️ Always wear sunscreen, no matter your skin color or tone. Chemical and physical sunscreens both block UVA (aging rays) and UVB (burning rays). The difference is chemical sunscreen absorbs into the skin and then absorbs UV rays, converts the rays into heat, and releases them from the body. Physical sunblock sits on top of the skin and reflects the sun's rays. The minerals titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are the main active ingredients in physical blocks.

▫️SPF Protects Your Skin from UV Rays: Sunscreen blocks these rays, greatly reducing the likelihood of sunburn.

▫️SPF Lowers Your Skin Cancer Risk: 
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. By applying sunscreen each day, you cut your risk of contracting skin cancers in half.

▫️SPF Prevents Premature Aging of the Skin:
Sun damage from UV rays causes photoaging of the skin, which is characterized by a thick, leathery look; discoloration; and a breakdown of collagen, which contributes to lines, sagging and wrinkles.

▫️SPF Helps Maintain an Even Skin Tone: Sunscreen helps prevent discoloration and dark spots from sun damage, helping you maintain a smoother and more even skin tone.

Retinol is a form of vitamin A that is commonly used to treat acne and reduce wrinkles.

Retinol is highly effective in treating both inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne. It was proven to reduce the visibility of pimples on the skin and also stop the development of new pimples and acne blemishes.

Retinol works by triggering the skin cells of the outermost layer of the skin to turnover faster, so that new skin cells can generate. This results in smoother and more even-looking skin. 

Retinols reduce fine lines and wrinkles by increasing the production of collagen and prevents the breakdown of collagen that already exists. They also stimulate the production of new blood vessels in the skin, which improves skin color.

So basically, use your retinol! You may go through an adjustment phase while your skin acclimates to the product, but don’t stop using it. Reach out to your skincare professional for guidance on how to better tolerate the retinol through the phase.
