For Your Skin’s Sake, Visit Us This Summer!
I love summer in Indiana! It’s when we hit the beach, take the kids to the pool, barbeque with our friends, and enjoy the warm weather. Meanwhile, protecting your skin from the sun and choosing the right treatments can prevent premature aging to keep you healthy and looking your best. If you’re heading out for some fun in the sun, here are some skin management tips and rejuvenation methods that can keep you looking hot while you’re out in the hot sun.
If your skin is in need of rejuvenation, a few microdermabrasion treatments each year can make a big difference. Microdermabrasion removes the top layer of skin to reveal a fresh, healthy layer underneath. It also stimulates collagen production, which improves skin elasticity. It’s an easy procedure that can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and even some forms of skin damage. If you use skin care products (we carry NIA24, Prevage, and PCA), it can increase penetration to make your regimen more effective. For many patients, this combination of at-home skin care and microdermabrasion is all it takes to achieve smoother, more silky looking skin.
If you exhibit age spots, zap them away with a laser or Chemical Peel. Rejuvenate your skin while reducing or removing age spots
Sunscreen is important any time of year, but especially during these hot summer months. Choosing the right sunscreen for your face – one that addresses your skin type and skin conditions – is not always easy. Use a sunscreen every day. For days spent mostly indoors, use a foundation with an SPF15 or higher. For outdoors you want at least an SPF45 that is waterproof or water-resistant. The right sunscreen can prevent sun damage, skin problems, and even skin cancer. Harmful UV rays can damage skin cells deep within the skin’s surface, making your cells vulnerable to toxins (free-radicals) in the environment.
