What Should You Do Between Skin Care Treatments?

Skin Care Between Treatments

Let’s strengthen your skin together.

If you can afford to spend hundreds on skin care products, then I am all for it. But I understand that not everyone has the means to do so. Here are some recommendations for after you leave the salon until you see me again.

• In a perfect world, everyone would follow this routine (not easy and a little time-consuming, I get it!):

  • Morning: Cleanse, Hydrating Toner, Vitamin C (protect), Peptide/Vitamin A (build), Moisturize, Sunblock

  • Evening: Remove Make-Up/Cleanse, Nutrient Toner, Plant Stem Cell/Retinol, Night Moisturizer, Eye Cream

• If the above process isn’t attainable (and believe me it’s not for a lot of my clients) and you want to spend 2 minutes on your skin care regime, I recommend the following:

  • Morning: Cleanse, Specialized Serum (e.g. Vitamin C), Moisturizer with a SPF

  • Evening: Remove Make-up, Moisturize

• Always take off your make-up before bed

• Hydrate! It sounds cliche, but drinking water is essential to maintaining beautiful skin

• Put sunblock on your face every morning. Make it part of your morning routine. I recommend an oil-free product like EltaMD - you won’t even know it’s on!

I can’t stress the importance of home care during treatments. If you are following a regime at home, I get more results when you’re with me as your skin is prepped and ready to go. Remember - together we are strengthening your skin. You have 60 days to condition your skin until the next time you come see me!
