Working on that summer time glow!

If you pick at a blemish, more than likely it’s because you want it to go away faster, right? When you feel a painful bump forming under the skin, it’s easy to fixate on the fact that there’s something there that needs to come out. You’ll then act on it, thinking that you’re helping the blemish come out faster so you can get this whole ordeal over and done with.

Unfortunately, picking a blemish doesn’t help it go away. Instead, it creates irritation and scabbing, which leads to a post-breakout mark that can linger for months. You’re effectively interrupting the life cycle of the blemish and making it last way longer than it would otherwise. That’s why it’s imperative that you understand this life cycle and work in sync with all stages of a blemish. After all, you always want to be an ally, not an enemy.

Cocktailing salicylic acid with Strawberry Spearmint Masque creates an effective but gentle formula to clearing up acne. With a mild tingle this masque can be very effective with little to no downtime.

This may be a little dramatic but seriously y’all!

Vitamin D from the sun can make you feel amazing and has so many benefits for mental health but can also age you incredibly fast andddddddd cause skin cancer. Let’s find the right balance for healthy living while enjoying beautiful Florida summers.

Here’s a few tips to help prevent sun damage.

1. SPF: everyday. always. reapply.

2. Wear a Hat: Make sure it covers well BUT doesn’t trap heat because it can backfire can cause pigmentation around the forehead.

3. Wear Sunglasses: This is an effective way to cover the thin skin around the eyes, which is one of the first areas to show signs of aging. It can also prevent you from squinting in bright light, which can, in turn, prevent fine lines and wrinkles from forming.

Does your skin need to be exfoliated? Try this simple test.

It’s a fact that regular exfoliation of the skin is an important part of a good anti-aging, blemish-reducing, skin care regimen.

To see if you have surface dry skin cells, try this simple test at home:
1.Take a piece of clear tape and apply it to the forehead.
2.Rub it gently and remove
3.Look at the tape, and if there are little pieces of flaky skin, then you need to exfoliate!

At RES I offer several different ways to exfoliate to fit your desired results and skincare needs.

That’s right!

On top of your morning sunscreen application you should be reapplying it regularly throughout the day when outdoors in Florida sunshine.

Seeing red is never a good thing, especially when it comes to your complexion. Rosacea is an inflammatory skin condition that affects at least 14 million people in the U.S. I’ve seen many clients with rosacea and understand what a frustrating and painful condition it can be. That said, I’ve also seen how much progress can be made when it’s managed effectively.

TRASH the WIPES.

Cleansing wipes just are not enough. If you want all makeup, oil, grime, and impurities removed from your face DOUBLE CLEANSING is a must. I love Green Tea Cleanser and Papaya Enzyme Cleanser for my nightly double cleanse.
