Bold Red Lips:  Create a subtle yet head-turning statement with this season’s bright lip trend.  Try to keep the color in the orange to red family for day, and switch to a deeper red when the sun goes down for a more dramatic look.  Don’t forget to pair a bold red lip such as Vixen from glo·minerals™ with soft, neutral eyes and cheeks.  That tube of red lipstick will become your go to for summer color.

The human body is constantly under attack from free radicals.  Free radicals are generated by normal cell metabolism and by exposure to environmental stress such as UV rays, smoke, and pollutants.  Once formed, free radicals attack all structures (DNA, cell membranes, and proteins) within and on the surface of the body.  As a result, free radicals are the primary cause of aging skin.

Topical use of antioxidants is necessary to prevent damage caused by free radical attacks.  Antioxidants in vitamin A & C destroy free radicals.  Although we can’t stop the hands of time, 85% of visible aging is largely preventable!

Vitamin C in L-ascorbic acid form applied topically to the skin will protect against free radicals that cause serious skin damage.  Combining vitamin C and E doubles your photo protection.  AesthetiCare’s medical grade skin care line called Aesthetic Solutions Rx offers Vitamin C Serum containing C & E peptides to provide ideal protection and skin brightening when applied every morning.  In addition our Vitamin C Serum contains extracts of green tea, licorice, ginseng, calendula, witch hazel and arnica to tone, condition and hydrate the skin.  Take advantage of our April Special, a Medical Microdermabrasion and Vitamin C Serum for only $159 (regularly $230), and get started on your daily does of vitamin C.

Vitamin A is your skin’s new best friend!  Vitamin A promotes cellular renewal and speeds up exfoliation, revealing younger, plumper skin cells.  This process of cell renewal and exfoliation helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and skin irregularities caused by sun damage and aging.

Retin A vs. Retinol: Retin A is prescription strength retinyl palmitate (vitamin A) with impressive results but often causes a lot of irritation, redness, peeling and inflammation.  The skin cannot absorb or store all the vitamin A that causes and autoimmune response to remove the excess product.

Retinol delivers vitamin A as the skin needs it with significantly less irritation but the same great anti wrinkle benefits.  Aesthetic Solutions Rx Vitamin A, sold exclusively at AesthetiCare, combines Retinyl Palmitate and Retinol with a powerful antioxidant to increase elasticity, vitamin E for hydration, and botanical extracts from karate fruit and chamomile flower to sooth, protect and reduce inflammation.  Apply this product at night gradually until your skin adjusts without irritation.
