Home Care Matters

November, 2019

By Skin Studio Professional Estheticians

At Skin Studio, our estheticians are here to help you with your skin needs. It is our goal for you to go home understanding what you can do to improve your skin. Learning about which ingredients are best for your skin type is so important to maintain healthy and glowing skin! Skin Studio carries pharmaceutical grade products with the best ingredients so your skin can stay healthy and glow!

Cleanser

Apply dime size to damp skin and massage over face and neck. Rinse with warm
water. Cleanse twice at night (especially for acne-prone or oily skin),
1 minute each (2 minutes total). The 1^st wash removes excess oil,
dirt, make-up & impurities. The 2^nd wash cleanses deep into
pores. Cleanser can be used alone or mixed with a facial scrub. Use A.M. and
P.M.

Exfoliation

Gently polish away dead skin cells to leave your skin feeling smooth. Exfoliation also helps aid in better absorption of products. Apply to clean, damp skin or mix in with your cleanser and gently massage over face and neck. Depending on your skin conditions, use at least once a week. Don’t forget to exfoliate the crease of your nose, temples, and under jaw line!

Chemical

Also known as a peel. This form of exfoliation could include various hydroxy acids (i. E. Lactic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Glycolic Acid), Retinol, or enzymes. Each type of exfoliation contains different properties that improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.

Mechanical

This type of exfoliation uses gentle scrubbing beads to loosen dead skin cells and smooth out skin texture. A combination of both mechanical and chemical exfoliation can be a great option for your skin! Ask your esthetician which is best for your skin type!

Toner

This step hydrates, balances and preps skin. Spray evenly over the face and neck used throughout the day to refresh your skin. Do not let the toner dry! Apply serum on damp skin.

Serum

Super concentrated ingredients, depending on the concentration can increase hydration level, firm skin, improve skin texture, clear the skin, and prevent signs of aging. Depending on the serum, it can be used in the morning, and/or at night. Use before moisturizer and after a toner (toner should not dry when applied). Toner, serum, moisturizer.

Mask

Depending on the mask, it can increase hydration, promote firming, reduce sensitivity, deep clean, and/or provide multiple vitamins & antioxidants. Apply a thin layer to a clean face and neck for 10-15 minutes (1-2 times per week). Use a mask after cleansing and exfoliating your skin, but before all other products. After you rinse off the mask, apply the rest of your regimen in the proper order.

Moisturizer

Eye Care

Eye cream improves and prevents fine lines, and hydrates. Gently tap a small amount around the eye area, in a ‘C’ shape along the outer corners of the eye. Can use A.M and P.M.

3 Winter Secrets for your skin!

Switch it up! When the seasons transition, so should your skin care products. During the cold and dry months of winter, switch to heavier and more creamy moisturizers and cleansers. Your skin will thank you!

Ban hot showers! Hot showers and baths actually dry out your skin more during the winter months. Moreover, intense heat from the water can break down lipid barriers, leading to loss of moisture. Take warm showers for less time!

Use SPF! Just because it’s winter, does not mean the sun is less damaging. Therefore, keep using SPF all throughout the winter to protect your skin. UVA and UVB rays are still harmful to your skin, all year round!

Doctors Corner: Mesotherapy & Kybella

Mesotherapy:

Skin Studio is excited to Introduce mesotherapy to our services! Mesotherapy is a technique that uses injections of vitamins, enzymes, and plant extracts to rejuvenate and tighten skin. It’s a cocktail of vitamins into the skin!

Kybella:

We are now offering Kybella, the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells under the chin to improve your profile. The active ingredient in Kybella is synthetic deoxycholic acid, which is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. This will destroy fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin.

Dr. Milana Stavitsky is available by appointment only

Home Care For New Year

January, 2015

Balancing toner- after cleansing use a cotton ball to smooth tonic over face, and immediately apply serum and moisturizer (do not let the toner dry!) Hydrates and balances skin. Use A.M. and P.M. Also can be used throughout the day.
A facial serum is a little bottle that delivers mighty results. From skin firming or skin brightening to skin clearing, skin serums transform the skin. Use at night or in the morning depending on the concentration before moisturizer after a toner.
Repair skin and lock in hydration with moisturizer-apply right after the toner and serum to the face and throat using upward strokes. Morning moisturizer needs to have (at least) SPF 15 or use a separate sun protection cream. Depending on moisturizer concentration it can provide extra hydration, nourishment, firming affect, and protects against environmental aggression Use A.M. and P.M.
Gently polishe away dead skin cells exfoliation-, leaving a soft, smooth skin with a better absorption of treatments and products. Apply to a cleansed, damp skin or mix with your cleanser and gently massage over face and throat. Depending on skin conditions use at lease once a week.

Protect Skin in Cold Weather

November, 2012

Thanksgiving is right around the corner…so is the winter, so are the low temperatures. Cold, dry air and heat both dehydrate our skin; leaving it dry, itchy and irritated. There are several ways to keep your skin hydrated during the winter months.

One way is to moisture the air in your house or office by using a humidifier. Humidifier adds moisture to the air by releasing water vapors.

Another way to help your skin feel less dry and itchy is to avoid long and hot showers, because they dehydrate the skin. You should also add a body moisturizer to your daily routine. After bath or shower, towel dry your body without rubbing and apply moisturizer while your body is not completely dry. Don’t forget about your hands. Our hands tend to dry and age first, because there are no oil glands to keep them hydrated. If possible, apply hand lotion after each hand wash. Ask us about the body moisturizer and hand cream that we offer.

Now, let’s talk about skin care for your face. To make sure your skin stays hydrated, don’t forget to exfoliate at least once a day, using daily polish or scrub and follow these steps as your daily skin care regimen:

Step one: use gentle milky cleanser to remove make up and wash away any dirt from the pores; towel dry, do not rub.

Step two: use tonic to balance, hydrate and purify the skin. Before the tonic is completely absorbed by your skin, apply serum.

Step three: use serum to protect, enhance, increase hydration, and sooth the skin. Before serum is completely absorbed by your skin, apply moisturizer.

Step four: use moisturizer to seal in the moisture from tonic and serum and to add antioxidant-rich blend of moisturizing ingredients.

Use a moisturizer with at least SPF 15 (even in the winter) to protect your skin from the sun.

Please ask us for products that will work best for your skin, like cold weather cleanser, tonic, serum and moisturizers for face and body.
