Fix Winter Sun Damage

Feb 22, 2016 | 3:34 PM

Some of you have just returned from your hot winter getaway. Some of you are leaving shortly. In any case, after the party is over, assess your face, neck and chest for sun damage. If you don ‘t love the look or texture of your skin, I’ve got three solutions for you.

 Book in for a Cold Laser Microderm. It works on the skin surface and at a cellular level, to repair. 

Bonus: Cold Laser Microderm is also anti aging, reduces rosacea, acne, blackeheads and big pores.

Can’t make it in? Take your vitamin C. It’s fundamental to collagen production in skin.  I suggest a minimum of 500 mg of C a day. Taking up to 2000 mg a day for a couple weeks should be safe and you’ll notice more improvement in your skin (PS:  You’ll know you’re taking too much C if you get loose poops. Reduce your amount of C slightly until that’s not a problem anymore.

The bonus is that taking vitamin C also boosts immune function to help you ward off that cold and flu when you get back home.

Wear some vitamin C. Topical application is proven to improve sun damage. For sure wear at bed time. We do more cellular repair during sleep than waking hours. For max power, apply your C morning and night.

At Results, I have 3 C products. 

One is a 20% – super strong – for high need sun damage correction, pigment correction and age reversal. It’s Vita C 20 by Derm Advantage. 

Another one combines medium strength C with lilac stem cells. This is a medium level of help and it’s also great for more sensitive skin that doesn’t tolerate really strong C well. It’s called C Stem by Derm Advantage.

Last but not least, L’Orange Serum by Yum Gourmet Skincare combines C with peptides, another proven anti aging ingredient. This formula is Certified Organic and Canadian.
