Here is why you should get facials every month.

A good daily skin care routine is essential for maintaining a healthy looking, fresh skin, but every once in a while we need to leave it to the professionals and get a facial treatment at a beauty salon or a spa. More precisely, you should get one once a month or every 6 weeks. By making it a habit of scheduling a regular appointment in spa centers. 

A facial is a multi-step, multi-purpose skin treatment including steam, face masks, exfoliation, cleansing, a face massage and a variety of creams and lotions. There are many types of facial treatments, and choosing the one you need depends on your skin type and skin issues. Some are highly moisturizing, others are firming and restoring, while some focus on problem areas and certain skin conditions.

No matter the type, all facials have some amazing benefits for your skin:

Deep Cleansing:

•  A better, deeper cleanse than the one you do at home – a cleansing facial will help your skin get rid of oil buildup, toxins and dirt from your everyday environment, thoroughly removing all the bacteria that could cause skin issues. A good exfoliation like microdermabrasion will remove dead skin cells from the surface of your skin and unclog your pores, allowing the absorption of other products. This will also make your skin look and feel softer and smoother, making your makeup blend easier and look better.

Extraction, if needed, is great for removing blackheads, whiteheads, pimples and preventing breakouts. This is a must – do step for everyone struggling with acne because it clears out the skin and gives it a purifying effect.

Anti-Aging Facial treatments:

•  Can help slow down the aging process and prevent the appearance of wrinkles. Massaging your face with an anti-aging cream will immediately increase the blood circulation and oxygen flow, which promotes collagen production and enhances the elasticity of your skin. This leads to a reduction of fine lines and wrinkles and preventing their appearance. Remember: It’s never too early to take good care of your skin! 

Relaxing Massages:

•  Are so good for relaxing, relieving stress and balancing your mind. Just like your body, your face muscles need a massage and most facial treatments include one. The boost in circulation you’ll get will stimulate the lymphatic vessels and detoxify your skin, making it look healthy and youthful. The nice smell of face masks is only another incredible addition to a soothing, relaxing experience. 

Skin Rejuvenation:

• The exfoliation, extraction, massage, steam and mask application during a facial treatment lead to skin rejuvenation, or in other words – a fresh, renewed skin. This improves the appearance of the skin, giving it a healthy, radiant glow and balanced complexion. You might not see the results instantly, but on the long run, your skin is going to get restored! So keep in mind that being regular and consistent with your facials is a key. 

Improved Skin Care Routine:

•  A good aesthetician will analyze your skin condition and help you choose the best facial treatment for your skin type. You can pick up some good advice by a professional, talk about your daily skin care routine and get recommendations on which products would work best for your skin. This is important because you can use these tips to prevent further issues and keep your skin in good condition.

• The specialist will diagnose your skin disorders, if there are any, and alert you of changes in moles or suspicious spots if noticed, that could be a sign of a more serious skin problem and require the attention of a medical professional.

Treating A Variety Of Skin Issues.

• After being diagnosed with a skin condition, getting a regular facial treatment will help treat it and heal your skin. Issues like blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, sunspots and sun damage, acne, inflammation and redness, rosacea, dehydration, wrinkles, acne scarring, loss of firmness and elasticity can be minimized or completely treated with the right facial treatment.

Skin Care Tips for this Spring

New season, new skin-care regimen. And since spring skin is probably on your mind, given that the official start to the season is just around the corner, there's no better time than the present to start prepping your complexion for the impending (and highly welcomed) rising temps and sticky, heavy humidity that lies ahead. Here are the five top tips from dermatologists to help stave off vernal skin-related freak-outs.

• Start scrubbing.

Snow, sludge, and rain can cause season-long buildup on the skin—of dead skin cells, leftover product, and environmental toxins—which is why Beverly Hills-based dermatologist Ava Shamban recommends exfoliating in the new season. "Light micro dermabrasion, followed by a moisturizing mask, will help get rid of that old dead, winter skin," says Shamban. To keep skin smooth and hydrated, Shamban recommends masking up to three times a week. A few of our favorites? The TonyMoly Megatox Ampoule Mask and the Frank Body Glow Mask both of which offer loads of extra extra hydration while giving skin a fresh, dewy glow.

• Lighten your load.

Gone are the days of duck boots, fur-lined hoods, and loading up your visage with thick creams and serums to help fight off the wicked winter wind. Come spring, it's time to swap out your heavy formulas for lighter lotions, "While ingredients like petrolatum help protect the skin, certain products can weigh you down especially in humid weather,". Which is why we recommend an oil-free moisturizer, like the Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture SPF 15
, which goes on light and smooth, but is rich enough to quench skin without kickstarting excessive oil production.

• Apply (and re-apply) sunscreen.

After a months spent bundled up in beanies and parkas, slathering on sun protection is a must once temps start to rise, says Miami-based dermatologist Christopher O’Connell. (Although TBH, you should have been rocking daily SPF November through March, too.) "Springtime is actually a high risk time for sunburns and sun damage," says O'Connell. "Although the weather is warmer, it's still so mild you might not feel how strong the sun is. Apply sunscreen every morning and reapply it again before any outdoor activity during the day."

"It's clear zinc oxide sunscreen that also contains niacinamide to help give the skin a glow." (As a reminder, niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 that strengthens the skin's outer layers, improves elasticity, and curbs redness and irritation.)

• Go shopping.

Since you'll be spending more time in the sun, look for makeup that offers even coverage and protection, says Elizabeth Tanzi, Washington D.C.-based dermatologist and founder and director of Capital Laser & Skin Care. "Hit up the local beauty store and/or department store to find the perfect color BB cream with tint, SPF, and antioxidants," says Tanzi. "If you invest the time to find the perfect match for your skin, you are much more likely to use the two products every day, which is a major investment in the long-term health and beauty of the skin." The Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti- Aging Perfector was our Best of Beauty winner in 2016, but we also like hyaluronic acid-spiked Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream SPF 35.

Add an eye cream.

Because the sun's more prominent in the spring (a.k.a. a hell of a lot brighter, thank God), people are more prone to squinting, says Debra Jaliman, a New York City dermatologist. To combat the fine lines and wrinkles that can form around the eyes, find an eye cream with a high concentration of antioxidants and peptides, advises Jaliman. The duo work to both ward-off the collagen-destroying effects of UVA rays, and plump up the fine lines and wrinkles that have already formed. Our pick?
Olay Eyes Ultimate Eye Cream 
, which also contains smoothing niacinamide to help even out crepey texture. Of course, a pair of big sunglasses is never a bad idea, either.

Back Breakouts

What causes it? 

  Back Breakouts and what causes them? Your body produces an oil called sebum. It’s made in the glands connected to your hair follicles. Sebum moves up the hair follicles to add moisture to your skin and hair. 
   Pimples form when extra sebum and dead skin cells build up. This buildup blocks skin pores and bacteria. When the hair follicle wall swells out, it forms a whitehead pimple. When the clogged pore gets exposed to air, blackhead pimples form.

Some common causes of acne are: 

• Genetics: Trouble with acne can run in your family.
• Medications: Acne can develop as a side effect of some medicines like certain antidepressants.
• Sweat: Sweat, especially if it’s trapped under tight clothing, can make acne worse.
• Stress: Stress isn’t a direct cause of acne, but it could be a contributing factor.
• Diet: Some research shows that foods you eat could be linked to acne. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, there is some evidence that certain carbohydrates (e.g. white bread, potato chips) known to increase your blood sugar levels can also contribute to acne. For some, dairy products might also be a trigger. However, restricting foods has not been proven to be effective in actually treating acne.

Treatments for acne:

•  Shower after a workout: Letting the sweat and dirt sit on your skin after a workout can be a big contributor to back acne. Shower as soon as you can after a workout. You should also wash those sweaty workout clothes between sweat sessions.
• Exfoliate: Use a gentle exfoliating scrub with ingredients such as salicylic acid to remove extra dirt and oils from your skin. This can help reduce the amount of dead skin that could clog pores. 
•  Wear loose-fitting clothing: Your workout habits can irritate back acne. For example, tight clothing can trap dirt and sweat and rub it into your pores. Working out with no shirt against a sweaty gym machine or on a dirty floor, can also cause problems.
•  Try tea tree oil:Tea tree oil is made from the leaves of a tree in Australia. It’s been used by Australians for years to treat a variety of skin issues. Today, you can find many lotions, cleansers, and creams using the ingredient.
•  Keep hair off your back: Long hair may be adding oil and dirt to the skin on your back, causing acne outbreaks. Wash your hair regularly, and put it in a bun or ponytail during sweat sessions. Also, don’t allow conditioner or shampoo to run down your back. Ingredients in these products can contribute to clogged pores.
• Choose sunscreen carefully: Protecting your skin from damaging sun is important, especially if you’re exposing your bare back. But greasy sunscreen can also contribute to clogging pores. Make sure to choose products that are oil-free and light on the skin.
• Eat healthy: Ever heard the expression “you are what you eat?” An unhealthy diet can affect our bodies in a variety of ways. If you’re prone to acne, certain foods could be triggers. Research shows that foods high on the glycemic index (GI), meaning they cause your blood sugar to rise quickly, may make acne worse. These foods include white breads, white pasta and rice, and white potatoes. It’s a good policy to practice eating a healthy, balanced diet with lots of:

• vegetables
• fruits
• lean protein
• whole grains

Benefits of exfoliating your skin

Hi guys, ever wonder what are the benefits of exfoliating your skin? Well 
here are some helpful tips on how to replenish your skin with oils and different types of sugar. Read throughout the steps carefully so that your exfoliating treatments help rejuvenate your skin. 

Your skin needs to breathe
During colder months we tend to cover up and make sure very little skin is exposed.  We also apply heavier moisturizers during this time to keep the skin from feeling dry.  Depending on the type of moisturizer you use you could be causing the pores to be a bit more blocked than usual.  Exfoliating allows the skin to breathe and rejuvenates the skin cells.

Say good bye to boring lifeless skin
If you get out the shower and after drying your skin you start to notice how dry your skin is, or it my have a grayish look to it, this is a sign of dead skin that needs to be scrubbed off in order to reveal new glowing skin.  Exfoliating bring new life to the skin by removing old dead skin and helping the cells regenerate new ones. This also increases the cell turnover rate to ensure less wrinkly skin.

Soft as a new babies bottom
New born baby skin is naturally so soft  and it would be nice to have that kind of skin even as a grown adult…and you can!  Exfoliating with a good sugar scrub that includes oils such as coconut oil, avocado oil, and sweet almond oil helps to soften the skin and while you are exfoliating with the sugar the oils are penetrating the skin cell and hydrating them. A sugar scrub softens and hydrates bringing out that soft skin we all want!

Who doesn’t like to look in the mirror and notice how your skin has this nice glow to it! Well with a good salt scrub THE GLOW is so possible!  Using a salt scrub has the same benefits as a sugar scrub with the ability to bring about a natural glow to the skin.  Another benefit to a salt scrub for oily skin is that it helps to reduce and balance oil production as well.

Tighten up
Now with all the hard work you are putting in at the gym in beast mode working out, and flexin in the mirrors the last thing you want is flabby skin!  So let’s tighten up by exfoliating with a coffee sugar scrub!  Yes!  Coffee sugar scrub is a deal breaker life changer when it comes to tightening up the skin.  The caffeine found in coffee helps to reduce fatty cells by dehydrating them and this help to decrease the appearance of cellulite. Exfoliating with a good coffee scrub helps to smooth out the skin. Keep in mind always all the many benefits of exfoliating your skin.
