Top 3 Tips on Purchasing Skin Care
The human body is constantly under the attack of free radicals. Over time, environmental factors such as UV light, smoke and pollution take their toll on our bodies, particularly our skin! This causes wrinkles, discoloration and poor texture. Topical antioxidants, found in quality skin care products, is the best tool for fighting the effects of free radical attacks. Over the past few years there has been much advancement in the development of skin care products to incorporate powerful antioxidants.
Recently our team made a trip to our skin care product lab in Dallas, Texas. After touring this state-of-the-art facility and hearing about all of the latest skin care product advancements, we are even more energized about our skin line! Our products use the highest quality ingredients, at active levels, to ensure the maximum benefits. The antioxidant Vitamin C actually protects skin from free radicals and helps repair past damage by adding new collagen production. DMAE (di-methyl-amino-ethanol), which is found in our Amino-Lift serum, is a naturally occurring substance which has significant firming effect on the skin. These are just a couple of the many antioxidants used in our products.
Top 3 Things to Consider When Purchasing Skin Care Products
- Know your skin type. Is your skin dry, oily or combination? Do you have sensitive skin, breakouts or specific skin conditions? Getting the right products for your skin type is key to a good skin care regimen. Remember, your skin can change with the seasons and over time, so it’s important to re-evaluate your skin regularly.
- Read labels. A product may tout a particular antioxidant ingredient, such as vitamin C, but the level may not be adequate enough to provide the benefits. Read the label -- if the key ingredient isn’t listed as an active ingredient or appears toward the end of the ingredient list it may provide little to none of the desired benefit.
- Select a broad spectrum sunscreen. Not all sunscreen is treated equally. Be sure your product is broad spectrum, which means it protects from both UVA and UVB rays.
To get the most for your skin, and your dollar, it’s important to consult with a skin care professional. Our aesthetician’s and nurses can evaluate your skin and recommend the ideal products for your skin type and your individual goals.
