Skin Care; Deciding what Really Works

Skin Care; Deciding what Really Works

The skin is the body’s largest organ and while it protects our insides from exposure; it remains constantly exposed to the forces of nature. We have all heard the saying that prevention is better than cure and this is no less true when it comes to skin care. Dermatologists and beauty retailers all tout the merits of having a good cleanser, moisturizer and of course, wearing sunscreen. 

A good cleanser helps with exfoliation and removing accumulated dead skin cells

Moisturizers help with skin repair and regeneration and sunscreen is necessary all year round for protection from the sun’s harmful rays. These are just the basics. For those who desire a consistently youthful glow, there is a lot more required for keeping the skin healthy.

Dermatologists recommend that from the age of 25 women should have a set skin care regimen and even start incorporating anti-aging products into their daily or nightly routine. According to Dendy Engelman, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City, this routine should include certain specific products like a cleansing brush, vitamin C serum, eye cream, peel, retinol and of course, moisturizer and sunscreen. 

Vitamin C helps with reversing any possible sun damage. An eye cream helps to take care of the sensitive thin skin around the eyes by improving skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines.

A peel is necessary for regular exfoliation.

Retinol is an anti-aging super agent. It is derived from Vitamin A and stimulates cell turnover which means dead skin cells on the surface of the skin are replaced with healthy, new ones.

Anti-aging products might be so popular because skin problems usually become more common with age. As skin ages, it can become more dry, itchy, rough, slack, transparent, fragile, and prone to developing skin lesions. There are a wide array of beauty products on the market that profess to have anti-aging qualities.

There are also options for reparative care for those who have suffered skin damage. Acne and sunburn are two of the more common skin care problems that require reparative care. 

Breakouts or acne flares happen because the hair follicle fills with dead skin cells, sebum (oil), and sometimes bacteria. This leads to swelling, redness, and inflammation. Eventually, the pores become clogged and push their contents to the skin’s surface.

Sunburns are caused when the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) light damages certain fibers in the skin and causes the skin to sag, stretch, and lose its ability to snap back after stretching. Sunburn is so bad because once you get sunburnt, you can’t undo the damage to your DNA and skin structures, and you can’t speed up skin healing. You can only treat the symptoms.Luckily, there are skin care professionals, like those available at Dermani medspa, who offer a variety of options that a simple skin care regimen cannot address. They provide options such as skin rejuvenation, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, facials, and dermaplaning. These treatments, if incorporated into your usual skin care regiment, can work wonders in keeping your skin healthy.

Summer Skin Care Tips – Genucel Has You Covered

Summer Skin Care Tips – Genucel Has You Covered

The long, dark and dry winter days are finally over. Summer is just around the corner, and you are ready to bask in its warmth and sunshine. However, before you do that, think about how the extra hours in the sun can affect your skin. Specifically, how will they impact the delicate skin of your face that is going to be exposed the most?

There will the occasional summer sun burn, UV rays are particularly dangerous and threatening as they can accelerate typical signs of aging that include fine lines,  wrinkles, age spots and sagging skin. Add to that the threats of humidity and hot temperatures that cause their own set of skin problems such as extra oil and shine. In order to protect your skin, in order to foster the most beautiful summer skin all summer long, follow the best skin regimen for the hot, sunny months that are ahead of us. The Genucel skin care line by Chamonix has devised a skin care routine that will leave you feeling beautiful inside and out

  1. Cleanse twice a day and exfoliate for radiant skin

The hot and humid air may cause your skin to be more oily than usual. You may also experience more sweat than during the previous spring and winter months. In order to maintain your skin both matte (read: not oily) as well as moisturized, cleansing twice daily with a natural wash is the best approach. In the morning, the wash will help remove oil and debris that may have accumulated overnight, while at night it may help remove residue that has built up during the day. Exfoliation is one secret to smoother and younger looking skin. Whatever your age, exfoliation is beneficial to help keep skin clear of blemishes by removing dead skin. Every day, dirt and skin cells build up and clog the pores. Microdermabrasion is like deep cleansing the skin. Genucel’s Cristalles Microdermabrasion exfoliates the skin for a younger and smoother appearance. This treatment reveals radiant, smooth skin, and the best part is that you do not have to go to the spa for this. Cristalles Microdermabrasion uses Magnesium oxide which is the same ingredient spas use for microdermabrasion. As such, it encases the exfoliant in a rich cream base – this luxurious cream moisturizes and soothes the skin to improve the appearance of roughness, acne, age spots, skin discoloration, fine facial lines, and wrinkles. Regular exfoliation may even enable your skin to better absorb other products.

  1. Light Daily Moisturizer

Given the summers humidity and hot temperatures, you no longer need the thick and greasy moisturizers that you have turned to during the winter. The key to maintaining glowing and radiant skin during the humid and hot summer months is a light moisturizer that will leave your skin hydrated without making it too greasy and/or clogging your pores. Chamonix’s Genucel XV is a soft and silky moisturizer that is also an advanced wrinkle treatment and perfect to use during the summer time. The cream is based on the latest Plant Stem Cell technology with new peptides, hyaluronic acid and a few other ingredients that not only moisturizes effectively but also offers powerful anti-aging effects. The proprietary base of calendula flower and essential oil extracts help you achieve the difficult combination of moisturized skin and breathing and free pores.

  1. Eye Cream

The skin around your eyes always needs more TLC than the rest of your face, and this is especially true in the summer heat. Using regular moisturizer under the eyes may be too think and heavy and therefore wear them down. What you want to use is something light that will leave the area under your eyes moisturized but also light at the same time.

Genucel is the industry leader’s latest under-eye product that will help make tired eyes look younger instantly. The secret is in a. blend of Beautifeye and Meadowlactone that will help improve the appearance of your eyes. Beautifeye is a mix of rare botanica extracts, while Meadowlactone is an ingredient that is extracted from meadowfoam seed oil, one of the most effective moisturizers on the market.

  1. Wrinkle Care

Protecting your face from the heat and humidity of the summer months should be a priority. However, just because you are focused on that, it does not mean that you should not think about anti-wrinkle treatments. Given that the summer heat can leave your skin dehydrated, this can only enhance the appearance of wrinkles, especially those around your eye area.

Genucel’s Immediate effects reduces the appearance of wrinkles, bags, and puffiness around the eyes. It is based on the Relaxoderm technology that helps relax your facial muscles without harmful side effects while reducing the appearance of wrinkles and bags around your eyes for up to 24 hours. Other ingredients such as GABA and Gynostemma combine nicely to help relax the skin. We recommend combining it with Genucel Plant Stem Cell Therapy for the best results.

  1. Beauty Sleep and night creams

Now that you are cleaning your face twice a day and exfoliating on a regular basis, using an effective night cream is a great way to maintain your skin’s moisture, elasticity, and firmness. The Genucel Revitalizing Face Crème for night repair is a powerful firming and moisturizing product. It enhances the appearance of healthy, vibrant, and youthful-looking skin and works really well for mature and dry skin. The best part about this is that it all takes place while you sleep.

  1. Sunscreen

The sun’s UV rays are always damaging to the skin and can lead to more wrinkles as well as spots. You want to look for something that will protect you from both UVA  and UVB rays so that your face does not burn and is not exposed to aging factors. Look for a sunscreen with a broad spectrum and a SPF of at least 30. For your body, a sunscreen of SPF 30 or more on any exposed skin is always good. Also, make sure to protect your shoulders, arms, hands or legs. For lip protection from the sun’s exposure, try SPF-rated lip balms or makeup.

  1. Hydrate

Summer’s higher temperatures and generally longer days outdoors in the heat can lead to internal dehydration. This can result in headaches, dizzy spells, lack of concentration and dry skin. In order to prevent all that, eight 8-ounce glasses of plain, filtered water a day may help maintain a moisture balance inside and outside. Drinking enough water every day can also help with detoxification. Also, be aware that if you are drinking caffeinated beverages (read: diuretics that are dehydrating), make sure that you drink at least three times the recommended amount of water.

Chamonix Skin care is a natural, antioxidant-based, and transformative line of products. The company creates their products around antioxidants as the primary ingredient with the confidence that elements such as grape seed oil, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Ester-C and others fight free radicals, boost collagen production, nourish, and moisturize the skin.
