Now that the season is changing and we are no longer competing for the title of Sun Goddess, our skin is going through a transitional period. We ended the summer with a healthy, sun kissed glow. Now we are in the blotchy, dull phase, where the weather is changing everyday and our skin is trying to adjust. Before you know it, we will be in the dry, uncomfortable phase of winter, where we will reach for anything to slather on our skin for comfort and relief. And during that transitional period, we often forget that the damage we did to our skin over summer could take months or even a few years to show. Luckily most of the damage can be corrected before it ever surfaces.
Exfoliating the skin by mirodermabrasion or chemical peels is an excellent way to begin the process of repair. More extreme treatments include laser procedures and use of topical prescriptions. Following one of these professional services with the proper at home product regimen is essential to not only boosting the effectiveness of the treatments, but also to help maintain the results. They go hand in hand, like diet and exercise. Of course, prevention is the best medicine. So regardless of the season always wear an SPF.
In my next blog I will begin in-depth discussions of these professional services and their benefits, starting with microdermabrasion.
Have a blessed week. Lisa Cave
