Even if you have spent years baking in the sun, it’s not too
late to start wearing sunscreen and preventing more damage. Laser treatments can help remove some of the damage
you already have, but the key to anti-aging is preventative
care.
Drink water, & eat right. Your skin needs nutrients that
lotions and serums cannot provide. Great skin starts with
health.
Find an eye cream and use it. The delicate tissue around
your eyes will be the first to show signs of aging. Keep it
moisturized and prevent those fine lines.

Find an aesthetician who is honest, reliable, and well
trained. An esthetician and an aesthetic doctor, or dermatologist, can help you find a daily maintenance plan that
will work for your skin as well as help you
determine which procedures you would benefit from. At
home skin care is highly important and will maximize the
results from medical spa treatments. Some treatments
such as hair removal, microdermabrasion, extractions,
and peels should be performed only by a licensed aesthetician and should not be done at home.
Exfoliate on a regular basis. As we age our cell renewal
rate slows down and to keep that youthful glow you need
regular exfoliation. Microdermabrasion, enzyme peels, and
chemical peels are great treatments to exfoliate and help
with breakouts, pigmentation issues, and texture. Results
are immediate, and you will see more improvement each
time you have a treatment. Regular facials are important,
and a great way to de-stress. I recommend a facial every
4-6 weeks. Facials incorporate deep cleansing, professional
extractions, as well as exfoliation and hydrating treatments. Every facial can be customized to treat your skin
conditions that day.
Wear a natural mineral makeup. Jane Iredale mineral makeup has many vitamins in the makeup and has been shown to
actually improve skin conditions. Jane Iredale does not use
chemical preservatives, synthetic fragrances, FD&C dyes,
and do not use fillers in their products such as talc. You can
feel great about putting this makeup on your skin!
