Should I be using a Serum?

This is a commonly asked question in my skin care clinic. The answer is yes. I routinely tell my clients if you only had money to spend on one product, spend it on a serum.

The reason is simple: serums create the most change in the skin. This is because serums contain high concentrations of active ingredients. These active ingredients are often formulated in a low molecular weight or lightweight base. This allows the product to absorb readily into the skin and penetrate deeper than a heavier weight formulation, such as a moisturizer.

There are many different types of serums offered by skin care manufacturers. They are created to prevent the skin from damage, protect the skin from damage, and/or correct damage.

“What is the best serum?”

The answer depends on what concerns you have for your skin. Serums are made with specific ingredients to address specific concerns. For example, if your concern is acne, you may opt for a serum with an exfoliating active ingredient such as salicylic acid to encourage quicker cell turnover. However, if your concern is hyperpigmentation, you would want a serum with known brightening properties, such as licorice root extract.

“How do I use a serum?”

No matter what serum you buy, you must always use it directly on clean skin (immediately following cleansing). This allows the product to absorb into the skin. Otherwise, it will sit on top of the skin and won’t be effective. How often you use the serum depends on the manufacturer’s instructions for use. Applications may be once or twice a day.

Toner: Is it Necessary?

This question is asked often by my clients: Is toner really necessary?

The answer is this: Yes!

Toner plays a very important role in the cleansing process. 

Do you have pesky blackheads that never seem to go away? Toner may be the answer.

The 3 functions of Toner:

1. Finish the cleansing process- This will ensure that leftover cleanser has been removed, in addition to any remaining makeup, dirt, or oil.

2. Exfoliate the pore- This helps keep the pores clean and free of dead skin cell build-up.

3. Resets your skin's pH- This is possibly the most important role that a toner plays. Your skin has an acidic pH of about 5.5, which contributes to your skin's defense to foreign invaders. Cleansers are alkaline in nature, meaning they have a pH much higher than your skin. This is necessary, as it serves to clean debris. However, when you wash your face with something alkaline, your skin is now fighting to achieve its normal acidic pH in order to function properly. What does this mean? It means that when you use a toner after cleansing, your skin will achieve its normal pH much faster and any skin care products that you apply after will be able to function as they are intended. 

Bottom Line: Toner makes your skin able to accept serums, moisturizers, etc. easier. Therefore, they can work better.

Why Get Facial Treatments?

The largest organ in our body is our skin. Our skin acts as a protection from the harmful invasion of foreign substances and helps the body to excrete waste products. Therefore, our skin needs to be protected at all times. There are various ways to protect our skin from external factors that can threaten its integrity. Eating the right kind of foods, regular exercise, getting enough sleep, proper hydration, and wearing sunscreen are important ways to keep our skin healthy. However, having a regular facial treatment from a trusted esthetician is a very vital step towards healthy skin for both men and women.

When was the last time you had a facial treatment? A facial is one of the best ways to take care of your skin, especially when it's given by an experienced, knowledgeable esthetician. A facial treatment offers you the chance to work with a professional skin care specialist who will analyze your skin type, help you improve imperfections, and show you the methods on how to care for your skin properly.

Five Benefits of Professional Facial Treatments:

·         Increases the circulation and stimulates the skin.

·         Delays the premature aging process by custom-targeting your unique skin care.

·         Guarantees you a deep cleansing better that the type of cleansing you typically do at home. It includes cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration which can help to unclog your pores and get rid of deep seated dirt and impurities that affect the overall health and appearance of your skin.

·         Helps you understand the proper products specifically suited for your skin. Many people are using the wrong products for their skin type, causing their skin to become sensitized. Look for a good esthetician who will give you a home care regimen that will work best for the type of skin you have.

·         Rejuvenates your complexion. It is one of the best ways to restore your skin's natural glow. Facial treatments help get rid of old, dead skin cells and will promote the new growth of healthy cells.

How Often Should I Get A Facial?

It is advisable to get at least one facial treatment every month because that's how long it takes the skin to regenerate. Try to have a facial at least four times a year, as the season changes. You may need it more frequently if you are trying to clear up a case of acne, especially at the beginning. It is important in maintain the health of your skin. It is also equally important to maintain a healthy skin care regimen to delay the signs of aging and fight the damaging effects of the external environment.

M is for Melasma

What is it?

Melasma is a very common patchy brown or tan facial skin discoloration. 90% of all cases are seen in women. It typically appears on the upper cheeks, upper lip, forehead, and chin. An estimated 50 million women worldwide live with melasma.

What causes it?

Melasma is thought to be triggered by several factors: pregnancy, birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy (HRT and progesterone), family history of melasma, and medications that make the skin more prone to pigmentation after exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. Uncontrolled sunlight exposure is considered the leading cause of melasma, especially in individuals with a genetic predisposition to this condition. Clinical studies have shown that individuals typically develop melasma in the summer months, when the sun is most intense. In the winter, the hyperpigmentation in melasma tends to be less visible or lighter.

How can I treat it?

The most common therapies to help lighten melasma are 2% hydroquinone (HQ) creams and prescription 4% HQ creams. Sunscreen should be used every morning and sun avoidance should be practiced whenever possible. Other therapies include:

• Azelaic acid 15%-20%
• Retinoic acid 0.025%-0.1% (tretinoin)
• Tazarotene 0.5%-0.1% (Tazorac cream or gel)
• Adapalene 0.1%-0.3% (Differin gel)
• Kojic acid
• Lactic acid lotions 12%
• Glycolic acid 10%-20% creams 

In conjunction with home cream applications, in-office treatments include chemical peels (chemical exfoliation), microdermabrasion (mechanical exfoliation), and laser therapy.

Lasers may be used in melasma. Laser therapy is not the primary choice to treat melasma as studies reveal little to no improvement in the hyperpigmentation for most patients. Lasers may actually temporarily worsen some types of melasma and should be used with caution. Multiple laser treatments may be necessary to see results, as treatments are most effective when they are repeated.

Oxygen Skin Treatment Benefits

One of the basic building blocks of human life, oxygen has been researched by the medical and health industries for many years. Oxygen treatment, one of the newest areas in skin care, was initially used for post-operative laser treatment. It has been shown to reduce recovery time after laser and cosmetic surgery, particularly when used in the early healing stages. This therapy has been adapted and is now being used in the skin care industry.

Many spas are now offering oxygen treatments and facials. Oxygen is used in conjunction with vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids to nourish and refresh skin cells. Introducing oxygen to the skin cells also helps to control and reduce acne-causing bacteria.

How do oxygen treatments work? At the cellular level, oxygen will attach to collagen and elastin molecules, making these fibers stronger. This helps to increase the firmness and elasticity of the skin. Oxygen is also used to detoxify the skin by washing away harmful toxins and replacing them with healthy nutrients. The oxygen propels these nutrients to the skin cells. This promotes healing, moisturizing, firming, and conditioning. Whether male or female, young or old, an oxygen skin treatment can be an effective and relaxing process.

4 Reasons to get Oxygen Skin Treatments:

1. As we age, oxygen levels in the skin decrease. Our capillaries become fewer and less flexible, so the oxygen does not pass through properly. This decreases cell function. A gray, dull look to the skin and loss of vitality are signs of lack of oxygen in the skin that can make the skin more prone to aging.

2. Oxygen is safe, natural and highly effective at killing bacteria. Anaerobic bacteria cannot survive in the presence of oxygen. Oxygen is one of the best disinfectants and helps with even the most stubborn cases of acne.

3. Oxygen treatments are safe for pregnant women that have problems with breakouts and pigmentation.

4. Oxygen promotes healing in post surgery and with healing of new scars by speeding up the healing process, decreasing scarring and bruising.  

Ingredient Spotlight: Lactic Acid

Lactic acid is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) found in skin rejuvenation products and treatments. It is considered to be a gentle, yet very effective anti-aging treatment. Derived from milk, lactic acid is well known for its skin hydrating properties and is one of the gentler AHA exfoliants.

The use of lactic acid dates back to Cleopatra, who legend has it, luxuriated in milk baths filled with rose petals. At this point, you might be tempted to jump in the bath with a glass of milk as well, but lactic acid doesn't necessarily work that way (if only it were that easy). However, there are a number of useful treatments and products that contain lactic acid.

Sharing the similar skin rejuvenation traits of glycolic acid, lactic acid skin care is known for:

• diminishing fine lines and wrinkles
• reducing the appearance of age spots
• reducing hyperpigmentation
• improving skin texture
• stimulating collagen production

Typically found as an active anti-aging ingredient in professional treatments, lactic acid is noted for its rich moisturizing attributes and its ability to exfoliate dead skin cells without provoking skin irritation. Because of this, lactic acid is an excellent option for sensitive skin types.

Lactic acid peels are just one type of chemical peel, but they are preferred by many -- again, because of lactic acid's reputation as a gentler AHA. You can use peels to improve wrinkles, some types of acne and discolorations on your skin. Lactic acid isn't a cure-all -- it won't suddenly remove your deepest wrinkles, and it can't stop you from aging. But over time, it can smooth the tone and condition of your face and reduce or remove mild marks and scars. Lactic acid peels are generally part of a series, depending on your desired result. In addition, sun sensitivity is a common side effect of lactic acid peels, so limit your time in the sun and always wear sunscreen!

A is for Acne

Acne is a common, yet often misunderstood, skin condition. Did you know that Dermatologists classify acne into four grades? The classification system is based on a simple visual inspection of the skin. Knowing the grade of your acne is an important step in treating acne. All acne grades require different treatment methods. The four grades of Acne are described below:

Grade I

Grade I is the mildest form of acne. There may be a few small whiteheads, blackheads and papules (red pimples) in small number. There is no inflammation in Grade I acne.

Grade II

Grade II is considered moderate acne. This stage consists of blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules (inflamed papule with white or yellow center containing pus), and redness. They will appear with greater frequency, and general breakout activity will be more obvious. Slight inflammation of the skin is now apparent.

Grade III

This type of acne is considered severe. The main difference between Grade II and Grade III acne is the amount of inflammation present. The skin is now obviously reddened and inflamed. This is the most common grade of acne and has a higher risk of scarring and deep pitting.

Grade IV

The most severe form of acne, Grade IV is often referred to as cystic acne. The skin will display numerous papules, pustules, and nodules, in addition to cysts (a closed sac of fluid/infection under the skin. They are tender, painful and cannot be extracted). There is a pronounced amount of inflammation and breakouts are severe. Cystic acne is very painful.

Acne of this severity usually extends beyond the face, and may affect the entire back, chest, shoulders, and upper arms. The infection is deep and widespread. Nearly all cystic acne sufferers develop scarring.

Summer Skin Care Tips

Summer is upon us. What skin care concerns do you have during the summer months? Sunburn? Dry skin? Excess oil? Here are a few skin care tips for keeping your skin beautiful all summer long.

Sunburn: Avoid the sun until the skin has healed completely. Sunburned skin is more susceptible to subsequent burns. Soaking in a bath of cool or lukewarm water laced with a handful of baking soda will ease the burn. Afterward, gently pat on a topical over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to help reduce swelling.

Dry skin: After swimming, rinse with fresh water to remove any salt or chlorine buildup, which can further dry out and irritate skin. Keep subsequent baths and showers short (no longer than 5 minutes) and use a mild cleanser and warm water. Gently use a loofah, washcloth, or exfoliating scrub to slough off dead cells. After bathing, towel-dry and moisturize immediately.

Oily skin: Avoid using bar soap to cleanse your face. The binders that hold a bar of soap together are very alkaline (high pH), which will strip all the water and natural oils out of the skin, causing the surface of the skin to dehydrate. Your skin will then be producing more oil to compensate for the lack of water. Using soap can also cause more break outs as the dehydrated cells being caused from the drying soap can cause a layer of dry skin cell buildup which can trap oil and keep them clogged in the pores. Use a gel-based cleanser instead.

Breakouts on your back, shoulders and chest:  Wash with a body cleanser that contains benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, ingredients that unblock pores and dry up excess oil. Also look for oil-free products that are labeled noncomedogenic, which means they won't clog pores.

Reducing Skin Pore Size

Do you suffer from large pores? Why do some people have large pores, while others have small pores? Genetics plays a big role in pore size. Also, certain areas of the body, such as the nose and forehead generally tend of have bigger pores both in men and women secreting more sebum (oil). At times, these openings become jammed with dirt and dead skin cells leading to the formation of blackheads and whiteheads; therefore making these openings appear even larger.

Unfortunately, there is no magic wand which can shrink these pores to the preferred size. However, there are a number of products and treatments available which can help you accomplish your goal of smaller looking pores.

• Schedule professional skin care treatments every 4-6 weeks: These treatments go beyond simple cleansing to remove oil and debris caught in the pores.
• Wash your face every night using an appropriate cleanser for your skin type.
• Apply a water-based moisturizer during the day and evening. The moisturizer will help balance the oil in the skin. 

Look for skin care products containing the following ingredients:

Retinol: A derivative of vitamin A to help reduce oil production in the glands and encourage skin exfoliation.

Salicylic Acid: Penetrates the follicle, reducing the number of pore blockages and breakouts in the skin.

Glycolic Acid: An Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) for skin exfoliation.

As always, consult your skin care professional for the best product recommendations.

Bad Skin Care Ingredients

When it comes to skin care products, you really do get what you pay for. Cheap ingredients are more easily obtained and are often harsh and pore-clogging. Ingredients found on the labels of skin care products are listed in order of quantity. For example, the first ingredient listed on a product label is what that product contains the most of. If you cannot avoid products containing bad ingredients, try to find products that list such ingredients near the end. Also, if you are purchasing products from behind a counter at the mall or from an online store, ask to see the ingredients - you may be surprised at what you find.

Below is a list of some of the worst ingredients found in skin care and makeup:

1. Mineral Oil: Also labeled as petrolatum or paraffin is a cheap base derived from crude oil. Application of mineral oil prevents the skin from breathing. It clogs pores, traps in toxins, and can lead to acne breakouts.

2. Sulfates: Such as sodium lauryl and sodium laureth, are harsh detergents that give cleansers, soaps, and shampoos their lather.  Sulfates can cause eye irritation and skin rashes.

 

3. Synthetic Colors: They appear as FD&C or D&C followed by a color and number on the label. They can cause skin sensitivity and are reported to be carcinogenic.

4. Synthetic Fragrances: Often contain phthalates (pronounced THAY-lates), synthetic chemicals commonly used to stabilize fragrances and make plastic more pliable. There is no regulation for the naming of these fragrances on packaging; they are generally just listed as "fragrance". Avoid products that list fragrance as an ingredient unless the label states that it’s derived from essentials oils, or look for a phthalate-free label on the packaging.

What are These Bumps?

Milia are small, whitehead-like blemishes that often appear under your eyes, on your cheeks or around your mouth. These small bumps occur when dead skin cells are trapped beneath the skin’s surface. The result is a small, pearl-like bump. Milia are more stubborn than regular acne.  Picking or squeezing them can lead to scarring or their reappearance.

There are several ways to help prevent milia:

1.    Exfoliate the top skin layer regularly (3x per week). Since milia appear when your skin isn't exfoliating itself naturally, you need to slough away all the dirt, oil and dead skin cells that can cause milia. Gentle exfoliation helps make eventual removal of the milia easier because the skin layer around the milia becomes thinner, with frequent, yet gentle exfoliation.

2.       Wear a sunscreen of at least SPF 15 or higher every day. Exposure to the sun day after day begins to thicken your skin, making it harder for it to naturally exfoliate by expelling dead skin and oil through the pores. The resulting milia are even more difficult to get rid of because your skin becomes too thick to drain the milia.

3.    Switch your beauty products. Using products that are too rich for your skin may be the source of your milia. The skin around your eyes is thinner than your face and it is very easy to smother it if you are prone to milia. Simply switching the type of product you use to an oil-free formula can help your milia to disappear.

4.    Seek professional exfoliation every 4 to 6 weeks. Microdermabrasion or an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) peel helps soften the skin so that the skin’s natural exfoliating process can expel dirt and oil.

Make an appointment with your dermatologist or esthetician if exfoliating, peels and lifestyle changes aren't enough to clear up your milia. Some milia are so deeply embedded in the skin that they cannot come out naturally and need to be extracted by a professional.

Help Reduce Facial Redness

Whether your skin is irritated or simply flushed, redness can be a symptom of many skin conditions. Exposure to the sun and wind are common causes of skin redness. However, skin may also become red due to contact with an allergen or irritating substance. Facial redness can often be uncomfortable or even embarrassing. Mild skin redness over a prolonged period of time can even damage the skin by promoting wrinkles and discoloration.

Reducing facial redness may take a combination of avoidance techniques and soothing skin care products.

Things to Avoid:

1. Hot or Spicy Foods
Hot drinks or hot and spicy foods can trigger a red face and a heavy sweat for a huge number of people.

2. Caffeine
Caffeine is a terrible cause of facial flushing and redness in general around the face. Try to cut it out as much as possible as it literally dehydrates your body and the tiredness as a result can cause redness, flushing and hot flashes.

3. Smoking
Similar to caffeine, cigarettes dehydrate the body and have the very same side effects. Drink more water if giving up smoking. It is difficult, but obviously do make an effort to give up smoking whenever you can.

4. Sun

Protection from the sun reduces existing inflammation and prevents further damage. Going back out in the sun with a sunburn or skin irritation can worsen redness.

5. Irritating Cosmetic Ingredients

These include alcohol, witch hazel, menthol, peppermint, eucalyptus oil, clove, cinnamon, geranium, fragrance, and perfume. Discontinue using skin care products that cause burning or stinging. This is important for acute inflammation and may cure instances of chronic redness. To avoid buying similar products in the future, check the ingredients before you toss the bottle.

Things to Do:

1. Protect Against Environmental Factors

An SPF of at least 15 applied to bare skin or under makeup will significantly reduce sun damage. In winter months, switching to a richer moisturizer and covering exposed skin will limit skin redness.

2. Learn What Allergens and Irritants You Are Sensitive To

By knowing what affects your skin, you can limit exposure or avoid them altogether. The longer skin is subjected to irritants, the more susceptible it is to irritation, with the reaction often getting worse each time.

3. Use Calming and Soothing Cosmetic Ingredients

These include sea whip, chamomile, and azulene. If you have dry skin, apply moisturizers immediately after showering to retain moisture. If your skin tends to be oily, use a cleanser that cleans thoroughly but does not dry out your skin.

4. Apply Cool Compresses

Soft washcloths dipped in cool water make effective skin care compresses for sensitive facial areas.

Glycolic Acid Does What?!

What is it?

Glycolic acid is a natural fruit acid or alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugar cane. It is water soluble, making it versatile for dermatologic and cosmetic formulations. Because it is the shortest-chain AHA molecule, glycolic acid has been shown to be effective in penetrating dermal layers.

How does it work?

With time and sun exposure, there is a gradual decrease in the rate at which old cells leave the surface of the skin and are replaced by newer cells. This results in a surface layer of dead skin cells that are responsible for the appearance of aged skin.

Glycolic Acid works by penetrating the skin and breaking up the bonds that hold dead cells to the surface of the skin. It exfoliates and revitalizes skin by allowing fresh, new skin cells to come to the surface and, over time, helps spur the growth of new skin and the formulation of collagen. The cumulative effects of exfoliation, along with the moisturizing and penetrating properties of glycolic acid, produce changes in skin surface texture and tone, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles.

Products containing glycolic acid include but are not limited to peels, facial washes, and moisturizers. Those seeking a more complete exfoliation may opt for a chemical peel. In general, a chemical peel involves a careful degreasing of the skin followed by an application of a powerful AHA, such as glycolic acid. Glycolic acid peels provide a gradual effect, so for best effect they need to be used over a period of a few weeks. Most skin types are able to tolerate these peels, which are available in various concentrations and in a wide array of applications. This allows you to find the right combination that best suits your individual skin. A typical course would be once a week for four to six weeks, with a few weeks off between courses.

Who should use Glycolic Acid?

Glycolic acid peel preparations are recommended for those whose skin is showing signs of aging. Fine lines, brown marks and dry spots can improve with regular applications or peels. Glycolic acid may also prove helpful for those prone to acne. Pregnant women and women who are nursing should avoid glycolic acid treatments.
