Goodbye Winter and Hello Sun!

Ah- there it is, the first long sunny days of spring are here. With it, our automatic response to the outdoors- let’s go! It’s an immediate reaction, we simply long to be outdoors. The cold weather ended and the hot sunny weather arrived, almost without a pause or transition. Translation- we are not ready.

We are not ready proactively; we are not ready reactively. What does this mean really?

 Proactively it means we don’t have our sun block ready  or we may need to purchase more and apply more often; we are out more and have more skin exposed. Reactively, it may mean we ran out of time- we know our skin looks pale and has perhaps lost some of its vibrancy or luster, so we do the worst possible thing, we run out to sunbathe or tan. There are better solutions.  Think of it as spring cleaning.

 First, clean your skin with a mild cleanser and pat dry. Check your skin thoroughly, the color, the texture, the pores. Notice if there are pigmentation changes or a change in the color or size of moles. Are there new growths? Do the pores seem blocked or are blackheads a problem? Get out the sun block, or if over three months old, purchase a new supply. Next, note the overall condition- do you like what you see?

 OR- could you benefit from a special “face lift”? Microdermabrasion and/or chemical peels are a wonderful way to safely brighten a dull sallow appearance. We have many services available and knowledgeable staff to treat you. We have extensive hours of operations with night and weekend appointments available at our two locations. Call today for an appointment (walk ins,if in need, also available on a limited basis)and get back to clean and clear skin!
