Keep Your Skin Hydrated This Winter

January 28, 2022

Start The New Year Off With Some Winter Skin Care Tips!

Tip #1: As the outside air starts to transition from humid to dry, it’s important to maintain the moisture in your skin. This will prevent drying, peeling or cracking. During the colder dryer months cleanse with a hydrating cleanser. Apply a moisture mask weakly for extra hydration.

Tip #2: The most important step you can take to prevent your skin from drying is moisturizing. Humectants such as hyaluronic acid or glycerin will help draw moisture from the atmosphere to the top layer (epidermic) of your skin or from your (dermis) lower layer into your top layer.

Tip #3: Applying a cream will occlude the skin and lock in moisture. Shea butter, cocoa butter, mineral oil or lanolin are excellent occlusive creams for the body. Creams applied to the face should be specially made for facial skin care. Creams should always be applied to the skin after application of a serum, which we will be discussing in our next post!

Tip #4: Antioxidant serums reduce inflammation caused by free radicals. They help brighten the skin by blocking the production of abnormal pigment. Examples of antioxidants are: grape-seed, reservatrol, vitamin E. In addition, Vitamin C promotes collagen formation and works to repair skin damage.

Tip # 5: It’s true that there is less sun in the winter than in the summer. Keeping the skin protected from the sun is important in the winter when the climate is drier and the skin’s barrier may not be as strong as the summer months. Therefore continue to apply sunscreen during the winter months.

Give Your Body’s Collagen A Boost!

December 1, 2021

How To Boost Your Body’s Collagen

Collagen Skincare

The simplest way to boost your body’s collagen is to apply collagen to your skin’s surface. The best time to apply any product to your skin, including collagen, is after an enzyme peel or a microdermabrasion, as the skin is receptive to increased absorption.

There are also products to help boost collagen or prevent loss of collagen in your skin. Some of our favorites are Rhonda Allison’s C-Stem Cell, DermaMed’s Antiox-C Serum, and Revision’s Nectifirm. Head over to our products tab to find out how you can order these products or stop by and see us!

*While we do sell the above products at our spa, the company does not compensate us for promoting their products.

Collagen in Your Diet

Collagen can be ingested. There are many supplements that can be taken to incorporate collagen into your daily vitamin regimen.

You can also take supplements that promote collagen production in your body. These include green tea, vitamin C, and functional keratin. Creams that contain these ingredients also help stimulate collagen production when applied to your skin. A diet rich in vitamin C and beta-carotene can also aid in collagen production.

Be sure to stop by the spa to purchase one of our favorite products, Yana by Image Skincare. Yana is a drinkable collagen that helps support collagen production.

Microneedling

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that repeatedly punctures the skin’s surface with very small, sterile needles. This minimally invasive process induces collagen production, thus breathing new life into your skin. Microneedling is typically for facial treatments and can help with scarring, wrinkles, and large pores.

DiDoria MedSpa does offer this service! To find out more about microneedling, give us a call or stop in!

Give Your Body’s Collagen A Boost!

November 20, 2021

Collagen and Your Body

As you age, your skin loses elasticity due to a decrease in your body’s production of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin. Unfortunately, we begin to lose collagen at 26 years of age. Other factors that speed up the loss of collagen include smoking, high sugar foods, and sunlight. As your body produces less collagen, the signs of aging occur such as wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of firmness and elasticity.

The good news is that collagen is available for more than just plumping your lips! Collagen is a protein that adds strength and structure to your skin. Adding collagen products to your skincare regimen can help reduce wrinkles and lines.

Stay tuned as we explore ways to boost your body’s collagen! Hint: it’s not just with skincare!

Is Your Skin Ready For Fall?

November 7, 2021November 7, 2021

Follow these fall skin care tips to maintain healthy skin for the autumn months.

Exfoliate.
Use an antioxidant serum as part of your skin care regimen.
Switch to a thicker moisturizer (a cream rather than a lotion).
Continue to use a daily sunscreen containing SPF 30 or higher.
Use a moisturizing eye cream and lip balm.

Exfoliation is rule #1 for healthy, youthful and radiant skin. Your skin is constantly in the process of producing new skin cells, and shedding old skin cells. This is referred to as cell turnover. Different factors like nature’s elements (sun, wind or dust) can decrease cell turnover and buildup dull, dry and discolored dead skin on the surface. Exfoliation is the process of removing dead cells from the skin’s surface. In addition it prepares the skin for optimal absorption of moisturizing and anti-aging treatments. Exfoliation can be performed by chemical agents or by mechanical means such as a microdermabrasion or hydrafacial.

Antioxidants are substances that protect your cells against free radicals, which may play a role in disease. Free radicals are molecules that are a byproduct of metabolism or are created by exposure to environmental toxins. Antioxidants reduce free radicals and help repair skin and reduce inflammation. Examples of foods that contain antioxidants are dark chocolate, pecans, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, artichokes, goji berries, kale and legumes. There are many skin care products which contain antioxidants.

Moisturizing your skin is essential to good skin health. During the warmer months skin care experts recommend moisturizers that are lotions. They are lighter and have a higher water content. Creams are thicker and provide a barrier to keep skin well hydrated in the colder dryer months.

As the weather cools sun damage is still a risk. Continue to wear sunscreen even though the temperatures are milder.

A moisturizing eye cream in addition to your facial moisturizer will add another layer of skin protection. In addition applying lip balm is extremely important. Our lips have the thinnest skin of any part of our body and do not possess oil glands. They tend to dry out and crack. A lip balm is anointment that can soothe the lips.
