How To Get a Healthy, Natural Glow

As an infant, our skin is in the best shape it will ever be - it's velvety-soft, free of discoloration and virtually perfect. But years of sun exposure, lifestyle choices and other external factors and skin conditions can damage your complextion and rob it of the glow we all desire.

Preventative Practices:

  • Daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30
  • Exfoliating eliminates dead skin cells that can cause your skin to look dull.
  • Regualr Facials can improve skin's texture, tone and overall appearance.
#1 way to keep your skin looking healthy:
Remove the buildup of dead cells on the skin's surface, which will provide newer, more radiant skin. Regular facials will help do that, plus some do-it-yourself product picks for at home use.

Facials: The substitute for chemical peels
For years, strong chemical peels were thought to be the go-to treatment for a healthy glow. Peels have there purpose - like helping with acne scarring and tightening- but they can give the skin a "flat" look because you are buffering off the dermal layer. Instead getting regular facials help make the skin dewy and nourished-it just looks better and it glows!
