Did you know? Low estrogen accelerates skin aging during perimenopause and menopause

As women age, estrogen levels throughout the body naturally decline. This decrease in estrogen leads to Estrogen Deficient Skin, which accelerates collagen loss and visible signs of skin.

What is MEP?

MEP helps address collagen loss and restore the natural function of Estrogen Deficient Skin, common at perimenopause and menopause. This innovative ingredient provides benefits exclusively for the skin. MEP is clinically proven to safely and effectively help improve dryness, dullness, laxity, atrophy, and the appearance of fine lines for more healthy, youthful-looking skin.

Medical Microdermabrasion

download (1)A wonderful cleansing and exfoliating treatment suitable for all skin types. Microdermabasion is a non-invasive epidermal treatment which removes dead and damaged surface layers skins cells, revealing healthier skin cells underneath. During Microdermabrasion, the deeper dermal layer of the skin is stimulated to produce more collagen and elastin giving the skin a younger, firmer, more supple appearance. This can be done as a single treatment or in a series and is a great way to help get your skin in shape with no down time.

The Illuminize Peel is a medical grade chemical peel which delivers a nice “glow” to the skin immediately. This mild peel exfoliates dead skin cells in a similar manner that microdermabrasion performs but without the abrasiveness of the crystals and without the risk of spreading bacteria across the skin as the microdermabrasion wand has a tendency to do.  The result is a quick glow without any peeling or downtime. This peel is ideal for individuals who want something more invasive than a facial but cannot have the downtime of peeling.

The Vitalize Peel is our most popular peel which exfoliates your dead skin resulting in less acne, less acne scarring, less brown spots and less sun damage. Two days after this peel is applied the skin starts to shed from the chin up to the forehead for a duration of about 2-3 days.  If you want to peel during the weekend, we suggest receiving this peel on a wednesday evening.

The Rejuvenize Peel is the strongest of the 3 peels and is ideal for those who have already had other peels and are now tolerant to medical grade peels where individuals are now seeing less shedding of dead skin when other chemical peels are performed. This peel may result is some mild redness and an increase of skin peeling two days after this peel is applied.  The duration usually lasts about 3-4 days.

Sunscreen: Make It Part Of Your Routine

Each year, Skin Cancer Awareness Month shines an important spotlight on skin cancer, the most common form of cancer in the United States with over one million people diagnosed each year.

This summer, be sun-smart with these tips from the Skin Cancer Foundation.

  • Avoid burning and stay clear of the sun during its prime hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; seek shade instead.
  • Cover up with protective clothing and use at least one ounce (that’s two tablespoons) of broad spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen for your face and body, making sure to reapply after sweating or swimming.
  • Use SPF 15 for everyday and SPF 30 or higher for outdoor activities.
  • Perform monthly skin checks and visit your doctor annually for a professional exam.
  • Lastly, skip tanning beds altogether: Just four visits a year can increase your risk of melanoma by 11 percent.

We love using SkinMedica Daily Physical Defense products. They’re oil-free and provide the ultimate protection from those nasty UVA and UVB rays. The fragrance free formula also helps protect skin from free radical damage. Sensitive skin types benefit from the 100% mineral formulation that is hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic. All of their sunscreens are sheer enough to be worn under makeup. And, it’s recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation.

We never leave home without it!
