We are honored to help you find the perfect products to keep your skin glowing through seasonal changes and challenges.
Since COVID began, many of our patients have been enhancing their skincare routines at home. Here’s why it’s so important: following a skincare routine at home can slow the common signs of aging. It can also prevent damage from the sun and pollutants that make your skin look older. However, as vital as a skincare routine is, the products you use are equally important.
The Importance of Exfoliating
Exfoliating is a crucial step in any beauty routine. It removes pollutants and dead skin cells that can dull complexions and cause breakouts, leaving the face and neck area bright and smooth. However, not all exfoliators are created equal. To ensure you get the best results, here are our staff’s top 5 favorite exfoliators!
1. Lite Lytic Tx
Gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin.
Lite Lytic Tx gently cleans pores and smooths the texture of your skin. It’s mild enough to use on an infant’s skin, so you know it won’t irritate your face and neck. With daily use, Lite Lytic Tx visibly reduces redness, irritation, and other skin imperfections.
Pro Tip: Wait 5–7 minutes after using Lite Lytic Tx before applying moisturizer or makeup for optimal results.
2. Exfoliating Pads
Weekly exfoliating pads for smooth, refined skin.
These convenient and effective exfoliating pads only need to be used once or twice a week to diminish pore size and smooth the skin. They contain salicylic acid and azeloyl trichloroacetamide, two powerful ingredients that help maintain the effects of filler injections and other aesthetic treatments.
Note: For first-time buyers, we require a brief online or in-person consultation with a skincare consultant to discuss product use.
3. Dual-Action Facial Scrub
Targets oil and acne-causing bacteria.
This dual-action facial scrub exfoliates and calms irritated skin. Formulated to remove oil and target acne-causing bacteria, it combines lactic and salicylic acid to gently exfoliate dead skin cells, while tea tree leaf oil removes excess oil and bacteria that can clog pores.
The scrub also protects your skin from damaging free radicals for up to 12 hours. Vitamins A, C, and E are encapsulated and released over time for maximum effectiveness.
4. Exfoliating Polish
Good Housekeeping’s top-ranked face scrub.
Good Housekeeping’s Institute Beauty Lab ranked this exfoliating polish as the best face scrub. Designed to remove dead skin cells and impurities, it contains magnesium crystals to exfoliate and polish your skin, revealing a smooth, even skin tone. The polish also provides antioxidant protection with Vitamins A, C, and E, leaving your complexion brighter and more youthful-looking.
5. Gentle Foaming Cleanser
Perfect for sensitive skin.
Taking care of sensitive skin can be challenging. While oil-removing cleansers can prevent acne breakouts, they often leave sensitive skin red and irritated. The Look’s Gentle Foaming Cleanser is formulated specifically for sensitive skin, removing oil and makeup without causing irritation.
With Evodiox, derived from the Chinese Evodia rutaecarpa plant, this foaming cleanser is gentle enough for everyday use, ensuring that you don’t have to compromise on beautiful, irritation-free skin.
Be Sun Smart
Beyond wearing sunscreen, it’s important to be mindful of daily sun exposure. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends the following tips in addition to sunscreen use:
- Seek shade and avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. when UV rays are strongest.
- Wear a wide-brimmed hat and protective clothing whenever possible.
- Remember, reflective surfaces like water, snow, and sand can increase your risk of sunburn.
- Avoid tanning beds entirely. Opt for a self-tanner instead.
