Hello everyone!!! I have missed you all! It’s been a hot minute since I have posted on here. I just want to address something that keeps popping up in different women’s groups all over social media.

Women come to me with their concerns all the time. The main concerns are always wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. Usually that’s due to exposure to the sun in our youth and using the wrong cleansers, but continuous sun exposure will make the photo damage more pronounced as time goes by. Of course there is hormonal based hyperpigmentation, such as melasma, that occurs due to hormonal changes during pregnancy and later on can happen during perimenopause and menopause. We will talk about that another time.

Millennials and Gen Z have grown up with the knowledge that sunscreens are a necessary part of life so they look younger because their mom’s slathered them with sunscreen since babies and it became a habit. My generation, Gen X, grew up slathering Hawaiian Tropic oil on and competing for the darkest tan every summer, regardless of the sun burns we endured. Our moms and grandmothers were worse! They were mixing baby oil and iodine (iodine stained the skin) and holding a reflective surface to their face to get that enviable tan. Think Magda from “Something About Mary” 😂😂😂.

You say, “But I’ve been wearing sunscreen every day for years now and still have age spots and wrinkles. What facial will help me?” There numerous treatments from Vitamin C based facials to brightening enzymes to chemical peels to microdermabrasion and dermaplaning. Those treatments work beautifully and you will see results but you HAVE TO use the right products at home. Your results are 30/70. 30% what happens in the treatment room and 70% what you do at home.

For starters you must use the proper cleanser day and night. Body soap, Cerave, Origins, Cetaphil, etc are actually detergents and therefore alkaline. Your skin is naturally acidic so when you use alkaline cleansers you are compromising the acid mantle, also known as the skin’s protective barrier. The acid mantle is composed of a hydro lipid layer (sebum and water) and other substances such as hyaluronic acid. When you use an alkaline product you comprise the acid mantle to the point it causes deep dehydration which will cause premature aging of the skin. Every time you use an alkaline cleanser it takes 3-6 hours for the barrier to come back and each time it is weaker than the previous time. You’re also killing your youth cells (collagen and elastin) every time.

Secondly, you must use a clinical Vitamin C serum (protection and restoration) every morning and apply your sunscreen (after serum and moisturiser) 45-60 PRIOR to going outside and reapply every few hours to ensure ongoing protection.

At night switch out your Vitamin C serum for a retinol and tyrosine inhibitor serum and make sure you double cleanse. By the way, if you were a teenager or older when Green Days American Idiot dropped, you need to be using retinol.

Most importantly INVEST in your skin care products and make sure you drink plenty to stay hydrated.

If my client has to chose between coming to see me every month and buying clinical products, I rather place that order for her than book her for another facial. It’s better for her and her goal’s that she get those products every 2-3 months and see me once or twice a year than go cheap on drugstore products and see me every month because she will undo everything we did on that 60-90 minute span of time.

See a dermatologist for skin cancer scans once or twice a year and get yourself a good Clinical Aesthetician who specialises in age management.
