I have experienced problems with my skin from birth. Eczema, Colic, and more. I understand what it feels like to be uncomfortable in my skin. My life's quest has been to find solutions so that others do not have to go through what I have. I start by treating the skin cautiously, adding products and treatments over time. For those with "normal skin" that does not experience sensitivity, redness, or other issues, I can perform regular treatments. I use a diagnostic tool called a medical black light with magnification to get a baseline and idea of hydration, bacteria, and sun damage. Utilizing this equipment, I can produce results in a treatment that would take a couple of appointments to accomplish through discovery.
In a world of tight schedules, harmful pollution, chemically-laden products, high anxiety, wind, and environmental toxin overload, it is impossible for our skin not to feel and show the effects of it all! Thankfully, with a little commitment, you can maintain your skin's natural beauty in the comfort of your own home!
Good Skin Matters ~ The Answers are here:
Keep reading to get some tips and simple methods at home to reduce stress, maintain your radiant skin, and decrease the signs of aging!
Cleansing Your Skin
The first step in caring for your skin is to properly cleanse it. Perspiration, oil, grease,
dust, stale make-up, dirt, and bacteria all collect on your skin and need to be removed.
There are many different skin types: combination, oily, dry, sensitive, and prone to acne. Here are some important questions:
Do you experience "Maskne" from your mask friction and irritation? Do you have Rosacea?
eczema? Psoriasis? Is your skin dehydrated, sallow, depleted, dull, flakey? Do you have
under eye circles, lines, or wrinkles?
Choices There are cleansers that do better with each individual skin type based on the pH and other varying factors. Cleansing helps to clean the skin, open the pores, and allows for the skin to best absorb the products you are going to apply. If you wear a good amount of make-up, you may want to first use a makeup remover to get most of the make-up off your face prior to cleansing.
To properly cleanse, begin by wetting the face with lukewarm water. Apply the cleanser that is best for your skin type. First put a dime size in your hand, evenly distribute, create suds and then apply it to your face and neck and gently massage in a circular, upward motion for at least five minutes (duration also depends on the instructions provided with the cleanser you are using). Using a silicon sponge, either sonic or regular, will help clear debris from your pores. Splash with water or remove by using a damp washcloth and warm water to ensure the residue is removed from the face.
Toning Your Skin
Next, tone your skin using a skin freshener (mild), like rose water, skin tonic (medium strength), like witch hazel. Make sure to rinse it off so the skin does not produce more oil to compensate for stripping the oil mantle, microbiome or, on rare occasions, an astringent lotion with benzoyl peroxide for cystic acne (strong). Toning is important because it helps remove any residue remaining on your skin after the cleansing process is complete. It helps to freshen the skin, hydrate, condition the pores and maintain the skin's natural pH, and if you intend to use makeup, it leaves a smooth clean texture which will hold foundation and powder much longer.
Nourishing Your Skin
Replenishing the microbiome is an essential part of any beauty routine. Masks, irritation, friction, sweat, dirt, dust, heat, cold weather, cosmetics, and even sunlight, all tend to dry out the skin, robbing it of moisture and lipids. Consequently, making sure to cleanse your face each night before bed is essential to healthier and younger looking skin.
The connection between the stomach and the skin is important as well. Your cells are as healthy as your diet. Beauty from within is becoming more understood. Drinkable Collagen supplement with 14 nutrients and minerals are the essential building blocks taken first thing in the morning and protects throughout the day. I have had great results with Aethern. I was asked to participate in an Esthetician group. Check out www.Aethern.com/goodskinmatters15 for a discount of $27 off.
Aethern’s unique proprietary formula is comprised of 14 essential nutrients that work synergistically, increasing the power of the whole product to provide unparalleled results.
Formulated after an extensive study, Aethern’s research team carefully chose the highest quality ingredients with maximum absorption in mind. Our formulation places a special emphasis on critical vitamins and micronutrients, which play a vital role in cell regeneration and protection, to deliver beauty from within. As we age, our skin naturally produces less collagen and cell regeneration slows. Our skin absorbs less nutrients and oil production decreases. As a result, we see dehydrated, dull skin, fine lines and wrinkled skin, especially around sensitive areas like our eyes and mouth. Lifestyle factors like exposure to sunlight, an unbalanced diet, stress and pollution all play a role in how rapidly our skin ages.
Skin Aggravators:
STRESS ~ SEDENTARY LIFESTYLE ~ POLLUTION ~ UNBALANCED DIET ~ SUNLIGHT
The first drinkable beauty program backed by clinical studies by Dermatology Consulting Services High Point, NC and Dr. Zoe D. Draelos, MD, PA, conducted a double-blind clinical trial on a group of 70 women between the ages of 40 and 59. Over the course of 12 weeks, taking one daily dose of Aethern, participants saw a 21% increase in hydration, 29% increase in firmness, and 28% increase in radiance.
Skin "foods" in moisturizers replenish nourishment to the skin, reviving its natural health. Typical moisturizers work well for different skin types. If your skin is more on the oily side, avoid moisturizers that contain oils and opt for one that contains glycerin instead. If you have drier skin, adding hyaluronic acid serum before applying moisturizer right after washing your face is beneficial to prevent drying and to get moisturizer locked in right away. Use a product that contains botanicals that naturally provide the moisture your skin needs. Just make sure to look for a product for neutral skin types.
Between Professional Skincare Appointments, you are at the controls. It is very important to use the right ingredients and products. People are often tempted, but please do not perform bathroom extractions on your skin, ask your skincare specialist. Refrain from picking and squeezing, even Estheticians get facials, it is all in the angle and frankly tricky. Here is an excellent skin care suggestion: Facials-to-Go is a monthly subscription that is customized for you. The products are selected for you through a questionnaire designed to customize your routine. Let’s get to it.
We love using Bioelements,
Clinical Formula, or Murad Professional products.
Professional Facials every 30-60 days are recommended for healthier skin.
~ HydraDermabrasion for head-to-toe hydration, the process infuses serum at the moment of mechanical exfoliation.
~ Microdermabrasion is utilizing manual or machine exfoliation.
~ Micro needling causes micro cuts into the skin to penetrate serums deeper.
~ Light Therapy stimulates healing, controls bacteria, and rejuvenation.

These treatments are available in the treatment room performed by a licensed
professional. I’ve personally repaired damage caused by people who did not understand
or have the education necessary to provide the service.
Always practice safety first. Repairing the damage could require professional intervention,
it takes time and costs money.
At-Home Devices, Devices, Devices
SAFETY FIRST !! Even though technology is not a professional strength, at home devices can cause injury if they are not used correctly. At home, skincare devices are vast, some work great while others simply do not.
Professional consultation is recommended before choosing at-home devices. Use safe practices during application of any device. Read the warnings and instructions thoroughly. It only takes once to cause an injury.
Remember to protect your eyes when using light therapy. If you are using high frequency, keep the device moving, it can burn you, if left in the same place.
Remember use upward and outward movements for uplifting results.
In Person, Virtual Consultations and Instructions are the best way to make sure you know how to use your devices safely and effectively.
