Spring Tune-Ups Are Not Just for Cars and Closets

Apr 13, 2015 | 9:18 AM

I think it’s safe to say that spring has finally sprung.  The snow is almost totally gone and the heaviest coats have been pushed further back in the closet.

If you haven’t already, get those winter tires off and put the snow shovels away in the shed.

Just as we make seasonal adjustments to our closets, vehicles and yards, it’s time to do a seasonal tune up on your skin.

If you are spending more time outdoors than you did in the winter, you may need to wear a sunscreen.  Some suncare today can prevent sun damage, or worse, showing up years down the road.  If you don’t like the usual suspects you find at the big box store, investigate Dermatologist created formulas. They cost more but they feel and perform much better.

You may have been using a rich day time moisturizer on your face during the winter months because your skin felt so dry or looked flaky.  Continuing the use of that same heavy crème may start to block pores or create an oily appearance.  Adjust your moisturizer just as you adjust your coat.  It’s time for something lighter.

If you haven’t had a Cold Laser Microderm treatment since the winter months, it’s time to book in.  Getting a Cold Laser Microderm treatment done seasonally allows your Skinformation Specialist to monitor the health and beauty of your skin.  Microderm works on the skin.  It vacuums out the pores, stimulates circulation and is a great way to exfoliate skin.  It helps you get your glow back after a long, gloomy winter.  Cold Laser works in the skin to stimulate collagen production. It also reduces inflammation in acne or rosacea skin.  

At Results, these treatments are done gently and feel great.

If you don’t know what to use for product, ask your Skinformation Specialist to book you in for a complimentary product consultation.  You will be asked a series of questions to help determine the needs of your unique skin personality.  We short list some products that would all work great for you and then road test them to help you choose the one you love the best.  You leave well informed so you are confident making a product decision that’s right for you.
