Spring Cleaning For Your Skin - Clean, Vacuum, Refresh

Clean, Vacuum, Refresh

Most skin blemishes begin as clogged pores. If you can keep your pores clean and unclogged, you will have fewer breakouts and more radiant skin. To have clean pores, you must maintain a regular skin-care routine at home and with your skin-care professional.

Clean - Once a month - detox facial - This facial penetrates pores to dissolve impactions and blackheads, kill bacteria, reduce inflammation and remove excess cell debris to leave the skin hydrated, purified and clean and clear.


Vacuum - Do a microdermabrasion 　- Relaxing facial vacuum massage to tighten skin.　 Dramatically improve skin tone and texture in just one treatment.　 What happens is that professional micro dermabrasion peels off the outermost layer of skin, abrading the blackheads off (or at least the head of the plug). The suction then effectively pulls out the remaining dirt and hardened oil from the pores. It also stimulates collagen production which increases elasticity in the skin (healthy, elastic skin is essential for keeping your pores tight).

Refresh - Have a Retinol Treatment - This is a cream mask containing natural phytohormones which plump, hydrate and moisturize aging skin. The retinol (vitamin A) content helps increase cell turnover to keep skin looking fresh, while vitamin C strengthens the skin by helping to increase the skin’s collagen and elastin network.　

A regular skin care regimen and eating healthy can greatly enhance the beauty of your skin. The payoff is great with just a little care - Enjoy Spring and your skin in the new light!

 

3 Ingredients for Younger Skin

I was watching Dr. Oz the other day...

The three most concerning area's were

1. Crows Feet/Wrinkling.  Secret Ingredient:  PEPTIDES
PCA Skin Care ExLinea™ Peptide There are many different peptides on the market that perform different functions in the skin. The peptide in ExLinea™, acetyl hexapeptide-3, is specifically targeted for relaxing facial tension that can cause facial wrinkling while reducing the depth of existing lines. ExLinea™ also incorporates hyaluronic acid to increase the skin’s moisture binding ability.
PCA Skin Care eyeXcellence This triple-action eye cream reduces puffiness, dark circles and wrinkles around the eye area. Its combination of three peptides increases collagen production, capillary function and circulation to leave the eye area smooth, even and bright. Moisturizing properties leave skin healthy and hydrated.
PCA Skin Care peptide lip therapy This scientifically advanced formula helps plump lips while improving overall lip health and appearance. It enhances barrier protection to shield lips from damaging free radicals, helps rebuild the collagen matrix for increased strength and resiliency, and boosts moisture retention and accumulation for maximum hydration.

2. Age Spots.  Secret Ingredient: AZELAIC ACIDS
PCA SKIN CARE TCA PEELS
Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peels are often thought of as very aggressive and producing substantial discomfort. PCA Professional™ TCA peels are very different from the standard. Our TCA solutions are blends formulated with many ingredients including lactic acid, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), plumping phytohormones and kojic and azelaic acids to produce dramatic results without the discomfort and downtime associated with traditional TCA peels.

3. Scaly Dry Skin.  Secret Ingredient: ALPHA HYDROXY ACIDS (AHA)
PCA Skin Care Facial Wash
This refreshing, skin-friendly AHA and aloe gel cleanser gently and effectively removes makeup and environmental impurities while leaving the skin supple and pH balanced. It soothes skin and loosens impacted cells to smooth surface texture.
PCA Skin Care Nutrient Toner
This formulation of vitamins, amino acids, enzymes and alpha hydroxy acids helps refine pores, remove superficial dead skin cells and provide added nutrients. It is recommended for all skin types and conditions. Pumpkin is the source for many of the important ingredients.
PCA Peels Enhanced Jessner's Treatments
This peel is ideal for more sensitive skin types, ethnic skin and/or those allergic to hydroquinone. This treatment will help unclog pores, clear acne and rejuvenate the skin. With its blend of alpha and beta hydroxy acids and brighteners, it is also an excellent choice for maintaining even pigmentation and correcting pigment discolorations for those with hydroquinone sensitivities.

Ask your skin care professional to create a customized treatment plan that will address your personal skin care needs.
