Oh, the days of our youth… Who hasn’t stayed up all night as an adolescent, whether it was due to a party or just because you couldn’t bear to part from the person on the other end of the line. Nowadays though most of us with daily responsibilities get quite irritated if our bodies all of a sudden wake up in the middle of the night and refuse to go back to sleep for hours and hours. Besides the fact that we will probably perform our duties like zombies, our faces will probably reflect our feeling of “zombiehood” with the accompanying
Did you know that there are more than 2,000 over-the-counter sunscreen formulas available in the US? With all of the available options one should never be caught out in an extended session in the sun sans sunscreen. But how do you know which sunscreen is the right one for you to use? Which is deemed safest? Which gives you the best bang for your buck? All sunscreens have one job to do: Protect your skin from absorbing excessive ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Too much UV causes damage to the skin DNA which can lead to all kinds of unacceptable outcomes from early wrinkling to sunburn to skin cancer. Did you know that sunlight contains different levels of UV radiation? It has UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C. The A and B versions are what we are trying to filter out when we use sunscreen. The C version usually gets filtered out by the Earth’s atmosphere so we do not normally concern ourselves with it. According to the American Cancer Society, more than 2 million people are diagnosed with skin cancer in the United States each year. There are more than 2,000 over-the-counter sunscreen formulas on the market today. How can you tell which sunscreens are the safest, most effective, and represent the best value for your money? In most cases, the answer comes down to the difference between the two types of filtering ingredients. CHEMICAL or PHYSICAL? The UV radiation in sunlight consists of UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C rays. UV-A and UV-B are both responsible for photoaging, skin cancer, sunburn, tanning, and wrinkling. UV-C is not a factor in skin health, as it is absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere and does not reach us in significant amounts. Broad-spectrum sunscreen protects against both UV-A and UV-B. This protection can work in one of two ways: chemical or physical. We know sometimes, you just want a great deal! This event is all about a great deal and a fun time.

Skin care products that you typically find at your local pharmacy or convenience store are often well-designed and their packaging conveys a sense of effectiveness at a low price. These products are often less expensive than what you would see a professional skin care consultant use. Products you purchase from your esthetician are generally far more expensive than what you find in the department store. In one sense, purchasing lots of different cheaper skin care products gives you a greater opportunity to find a diamond in the rough. You might find something that actually works for your particular skin situation. But most of the time, products you find in stores are usually not effective for most people's conditions. In the end, you might find that only 10 or 20 percent of the products that you purchase are actually effective for your specific situation. If that’s true you could say you actually spent far more money to find a product that works than if you had gone to your skin care professional and just asked to buy what is best for you. So, one way to look at purchasing professional quality skin care products is to think of it as an investment in your skin, health, and beauty. When you combine high quality products with high quality clinician care, you receive results that you can count on which allows you to stop searching for answers and focus on other important matters. Working with your esthetician over the course of time helps them to really dial in your results and gain an understanding of your specific skin situation. Receiving a carefully tailored service allows your skin to receive the maximum benefit and care. If you focus on establishing a history with your clinician, this allows them to understand all of your skin’s preferences as well as your overall health background and your goals. All of these things work together to ensure that your treatments are as valuable as possible and that your results are far more stable and predictable. |
