Summer Skin Have You Feeling Down?
Causes of skin stress during the summer include, sun, pollution, salt water/chlorine, indoor air conditioning, and persistent sweat when outdoors. By end of summer you may be experiencing worsened or new pigmentation in your skin, new or worsened acne, or Ph imbalances such as dry or oily skin. For these reasons, fall is a great time to give your skin a little TLC. Here are the 3 areas we suggest focusing on.
ADDRESS PIGMENTATION ISSUES
Pigmentation issues such as sun spots, freckles, rosacea, and melasma will worsen with heat and sun exposure. Even with consistent use of sunscreen, UVB rays can still penetrate. We offer a variety of correctional treatment options depending on what type of condition you have.

BALANCE YOUR SKIN
Dirt and pollution in the air, as well as hot humid clients can hinder our skin’s function and natural oil production. It’s not uncommon for those with a naturally oily skin type to experience surface dryness in the fall which can lead to acne and clogged pores. Those with normally dry skin may experience excess oil production, or increased dryness and dull skin. We suggest scheduling a complementary consultation with one of our aestheticians to prescribe a treatment plan best suited for your skin’s needs.

CHANGE UP YOUR SKIN CARE
The demands of your skin in the summer are very different than fall and winter. Going into fall and winter we experience less UVB rays, dryer air, and in most cases more time is spent indoors in central heat. We recommend switching up your moisturizer, cleanser, and SPF.

WHY WE LOVE IT:
Cleansing is the most important step of your skincare routine. Without cleansing properly nothing else really matters. Some cleansers can strip your skin of it’s natural oil which will compromise your natural barrier function. E.g. you will breakout. Suds effectively cleanses without over drying your skin. Also safe for all skin types.

The name says it all. Drench is our moisturizer for barrier function enhancement. It uses fatty acid lipids to deeply moisturize and optimize Ph levels leaving your skin deeply moisturized without feeling greasy or heavy. Use in combination with EMd Plump and you’ll never go back.
Sunbrella

WHY WE LOVE IT:
Because an SPF that only blocks UVA/UVB rays isn’t enough. In addition to being an SPF, Sunbrella is also fortified with melanin and vitamin C to block free radicals and promote anti-aging. With a silky smooth texture it can also take the place of your over the counter BB cream.
