As summer winds down you may notice that your skin is looking dull, tired, and dry. I know I see it in clients all the time as August rolls around. Sun, wind, salt, chlorine, and too much fun can be hard on the skin.
Signs of sun damage like wrinkles, brown spots, freckles, and blotchy skin are also more prevalent in the summer. Sun damage that you see today, like light from the stars, was created in the past. What we see today was done years ago in our fun loving and too often SPF free youth.
The best protection you can give the skin from future sun damage is to stay out of it and use proper SPF, but for the damage that was already done, well it’s time to start repairing it with the right facials and daily skin care routine.
Pigmentation needs a four pronged approach.
1) Protect from future damage with SPF EVERY DAY.
2) Topical brightener to reduce superficial topical discoloration.
3) A topical melanin inhibitor that will reduce more pigmentation from forming.
4) Dedication and time. Pigmentation needs time to repair.
To speed up the process a series of pigment busting facials will always help. The Hydrafacial, Epicuren Four Layer Enzyme, or Switch Treatment are all excellent options to get you on the road to clearer and brighter skin. Come in and see which series would be right for you. Either way, your summer skin will thank you.
