Spring into Action

                           Spring is here ladies and gentleman
                                  Time to spring into Action!
                           Schedule a Pigment Balancing Masque
                                           by SkinCeuticals

 The weather is warming...the sun is coming....get your face ready for spring.  In the spring and summer we like to wear less make-up.
We have a new chemical peel that evens out your skin tone so you can go with less or "NO" make up this summer.  

The Pigment Balancing Masque is a customizable brightening treatment targeting hyperpigmentation to dramatically improve the appearance of photodamaged skin.  This masque combines high-performance brightening agents with a peeling acid solution to accelerate cell renewal and diminish hyperpigmentation.

SkinCeuticals also has several new products that work with your skin daily to diffuse hyperpigmentation.

Pigment Regulator:  This patent-pending formulation combines precise concentrations of kojic acid and emblica along with a highly efficient exfoliating blend, optimized to work by three modes of action to systematically improve uneven skin tone. Pigment Regulator inhibits the production of excess melanin, prevents excess melanin from traveling to the skin’s surface, and breaks up melanin clusters on the skin's surface to diminish exisiiting discoloration.

Retexturizing  Activator:  This revolutionary resurfacing and replenishing serum surpasses the results of a 20% daily glycolic treatment while simultaneously reinforcing the skin’s barrier for healthier, more radiant skin. Retexturing Activator harnesses two polar mechanisms — exfoliation and hydration — to activate skin’s regeneration response, visibly diminishing surface lines and transforming skin’s fabric into a smoother, softer texture.

These products along with the Pigment Balancing Masque will transform your skin.  A wonderful new follow up product to use after procedures is 

Epidermal Repair: Epidermal Repair is specifically formulated for skin compromised by cosmetic procedures ranging from microdermabrasion to laser resurfacing, as well as skin sensitized by retinoid therapy or harsh environmental aggressors.

Epidermal Repair is clinically shown to greatly diminish redness and soothe irritated skin while the cosmetically elegant texture encourages daily use, especially during the critical healing period following rejuvenating procedure

Would you enjoy wearing less make-up this summer?

Enhance The Texture Of Your Skin With Microdermabrasion

 The Bellanina blog101 helps to explain the benefits of microdermabrasion.  Read about how Chenal Skin Care can rejuvenate your skin with a microderm.

Microdermabrasion may sound like a scary procedure to undergo but in actuality it may be a wonderful alternative for those seeking a facial rejuvenation without going under the knife. More commonly referred to as microderm, this procedure is a non invasive way to remove the uppermost layer of dead skin cells from the face, neck, and decollete.  At Chenal Skin Care we utilize a mechanical mechanism (such as crystals or diamond tips) and a small vacuum to clean up the removed skin cells.

Exfoliation is a natural process undergone by the skin and although it occurs throughout our entire life span, the rate slows down considerably once we reach our thirties. Dead skin cells need to be shed by the body in order for new, healthy cells to reach the surface. As this process slows sometimes dead skin cells will cling to the surface and prevent those new skin cells from taking their place. Over time this will begin to form fine lines and wrinkles as dead cells accumulate on the surface. Microdermabrasion removes this outermost layer of the epidermis to get rid of this build up, allowing new cells to surface and improving circulation at the same time.

There are many benefits to microdermabrasion that can make it an ideal alternative to more drastic cosmetic procedures. By removing dead skin cells your skin will appear smoother, more even in tone and feel healthier. Microdermabrasion can help minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars. After undergoing treatment, skin care products will be able to penetrate the surface much better and be more effective to help maintain healthy, glowing skin.

Call and make your appointment for a microdermabrasion before the holidays get here.  Also there is a special going on for Dysport for the holidays...a $50 rebate....call 223-4044 for an appointment.  You will have glowing skin for the holiday events coming up.  Thanks!!  Virginia Licensed Aesthetician

New Season....New Face

 As the seasons change and leave us so quickly, our skin's elasticity, and collagen production seem to go with them...but there is always help with a good aesthetician, custom skin care program, and products with integrity.

October brings us a new fresh season.  We look forward to the crisp air and the holidays approaching.  It is a great time to think about refreshing your skin as well.  Chenal Skin Care has many services and products to help give your skin a fresh look.
One must be proactive in their skin anti-aging regimen to maintain a more youthful look.  One of my favorite blogs Bellanina101 shares the following about maintaining healthy skin:

When we are young our skin is taught, elastic and naturally firm. Youthful skin carries a natural glow and smooth texture that many women mourn the loss of as they age. Beautiful and healthy looking skin is not a gift for just the young, but the young at heart. It is for people who know that age is just a number and not a reflection of who you “should” be.

The key to beautiful skin in your mature years is by understanding what problems to look for and using products designed for your skin. As we age, our skin loses some of its natural elasticity, decreases collagen production and the regeneration of new skin cells begins decrease. This can lead to fine lines and wrinkles developing around the eyes, cheeks and mouth as well as sagging tissue in the cheeks and neck. All these problems develop slowly over time and can sometimes have subtle effects at first but over time their accumulative damage can be significant.

Sagging Tissue
The loss of collagen and elasticity is a battle because you are not only fighting Mother Nature, but simple gravity as well. After years of staying tight on its own, your skin may require a little “boost” to stay firm and toned. Try a product that is specially designed to target this problem and boost collagen production. Although the effects may not be entirely reversible, they can be certainly minimized.
Stay as beautiful as you want for as long as you want by taking control of your skin care routine! Skin care is not just a science, it is an art that requires patience and understanding to master. Study your skin care products carefully and examine your needs. Consult with an aesthetician for more great tips and advice about what products are available to keep you looking your most fabulous every day!
