SPRING SKIN CARE
Spring is a time to start preparing for summer and recovering from the winter. Hydration, exfoliation and liberal sunscreen application as the weather begins to heat up is key. Look for alpha hydroxy and beta hydroxy acids, which help replenish dry skin. You’ll want to use a moisturizer with glycolic acid to gently remove dead skin cells and exfoliate to get rid of dry, rough skin left over from winter.

SUMMER SKIN CARE
During the summer months, the weather gets hot, and as a med spa it is our duty to help you protect your skin. When choosing a sunscreen for your face, look for ingredients like titanium dioxide and/or zinc oxide. These ingredients work by physically blocking the UV rays from penetrating your skin. This type of sunscreen is also better for your skin because it is not a chemical sunscreen. As the heat of summer increases, so does your sweating. Your summer daily skin care routine should involve exfoliating dead skin cells and gently cleansing oily skin to unclog pores.
