FEED YOUR FACE
Get your skin ready for Summer! Some of us are still recuperating from the Winter Fun with dry, dull and/or sensitive skin. Spring is already here changing my complexion and I am in need of some prepping for this Summer Sun peeking in!
Having a beautiful and youthful glowing complexion is what everyone wants, right? If you agree, here are some tips for a smooth, hydrated glowing complexion, for BOTH MEN and WOMEN.
After cleansing your skin, exfoliate well to and remove dry dead skin cells that cause dullness, shadowing, uneven tanning and cakey sunblock and make-up application! No one wants to see that! mua!
SMART COOKIE Cleansing twice in a row not only provides a deep clean, it also better prepares your skin for exfoliation and penetration of needed nutrients!
Moisturize well based on your skin type! HERE are some of my favorites:
ALL SKIN TYPES: Colorlite Plus ***** STARS
DRY SKIN: Vitamin A&E Moisture ***** STARS
OILY SKIN: Tissue Hydrating Gel ***** STARS
ACNEIC SKIN: Milk Cream ***** STARS
& BPO 5% spot treatment

If your skin feels extra dry or needs a boost of nutrients, try applying a toner and serum first to your cleansed skin. This will give your skin the added GLOW & BOOST it requires! Stick with this routine for a continued feed of nutrients to your skin.
Ladies, stick to wearing a light foundation that you you can “build-up” on for summer nights! You can achieve the coverage you need by building and avoiding the cakey look.
Remember, less is more!
Keep your skin healthy by staying hydrated and exercising and you will have great skin and a sexy complexion.
GO MAKE UP FREE AND BREATH!
As women we love our makeup, but more often than not wearing makeup everyday can be a huge contributing factor to skin issues such as blemishes, congestion, uneven skin tone, acne and more.
Allowing your skin to breath each night by properly cleansing your skin will allow for better night time repair!
Oil cleansers that emulsify are my favorite for this down and dirty job! Everything is quickly removed, even sunscreen and waterproof makeup! With or without makeup, this is my go to each night to thoroughly cleanse and prepare my skin for delicious serums!
Our skin loves to breath and can actually add to the health and brightness of our complexion.
Remember, your skin changes with the season, hormones and stress, so should your daily skin care!

Healthy Skin, Healthy You!

The Battle of Dry vs Dehydrated Skin!
Find out if you have dry or dehydrated skin and what you can do to combat the signs of aging that come with these conditions.
by Kristine Seganti
I often have clients ask me what the difference is between dry skin and dehydrated skin. In fact, many of my clients are surprised that they have dehydrated skin!
Even though both dry and dehydrated skin have many similarities, there are several clear difference. If any of you have dry skin, the chance of you knowing it are pretty high!
Here is a quick cheat sheet to determine whether a person has dry or dehydrated skin.
Although I have access and use high grade products, I still deal with my own personal dry skin condition, as dry skin is a condition I was born with. Having dry skin, it continues to change with age and weather patterns. So you constantly need to stay on top of these changes in order to gain full control. Same with any other conditions such as acne or oily skin.
To better identify the habits of dry skin, I will give you an idea of my self care routine. Dry skin soaks up product very quickly, almost like a sponge to water! It feels and looks tight/taut, the pores are small and your skin will tend to flake easily if not properly cared for. After cleansing my skin, I can watch it appear to turn dry and cracked right before my eyes! To combat the dryness, for myself and clients, I like to PowerLayer self care products. When done with the right ingredients, you see and feel the hydration and moisture retention in skin immediately!
An easy way to test your level of dryness is by using a face blotting tissue. After properly cleansing your skin, press a face blotting tissue to the T-Zone area for about 10 seconds. If the tissue comes away clean, then you know you are lacking vital oil production that assists in keeping skin healthy and strong!
I have personally experienced an amazing decrease in dryness just by making a few changes to my self care products and lifestyle. Remember, using quality products and ingredients is the first step to self care; tide for first is creating the right day and night regimens and being consistent!
Proper cleansing and hydrating is step one for all of my clientele, even before I allow them to purchase products. Regardless of age or gender, each person should be cleansing twice, each morning and each night. Twice means, two time in a row - a double cleanse! This process alone removes much more dirt, debris, make-up, sweat, oil, sunscreen and allows deeper cleansing of the pores! You are guaranteed to see a change in the health of your skin in just a week!
Here is a list of some of my favorite daily must have by Dermaesthetics Beverly Hills. This is a pure, medical grade ingredient line, created strictly for results! The pricing mirrors the value and results!
DBH Cleanser: Pre Peel Cleanse (daily use a.m. & p.m.) Deep, yet gentle cleanse that is perfect for all skin types and conditions.

When battling dryness, change in diet makes a big change from in the inside-out. Increasing Omega 3’s, with plenty of water intake and exercise are three things you can start immediately to see healthy skin results! For an internal skin booster, try my C Power Drink each morning followed by Green with Envy throughout the rest of the day. Results time varies, average is 3-5 days!

OVER 75% OF AMERICANS SUFFER FROM CHRONIC DEHYDRATION AND DON’T REALIZE IT…

The Magic Mushroom
SHROOM ANYONE?
If there was a magic mushroom that could slow or stop the aging process, would you eat it? Yes, said Alice in Wonderland. Yes, I would and I will, give it to me now. That’s actually me talking, not Alice. Although I am quite sure she would still take and consume that mushroom!

This skin is the largest living organ and requires large amounts of ATP to thrive, regenerate and renew. Without ample ATP the body and its functions begin to deteriorate.
ATP production decreases by 50% by the time we reach 60 years of age.

The magic ingredient… L-Ergothioneine. An antioxidant amino acid found in mushrooms. This cell protecting and energy providing amino acid is an integral part of skins antioxidant defense! With the ability to protect human skin cells against UVA damage and INCREASE ATP ACTIVITY!

Vitamin C & Me!
For years Vitamin C has been one of the top ingredients found in products that fight premature aging and pigmentation!
Today we ask; What does Vitamin C do for me?
What is Vitamin C?
Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin found in many fruits and vegetables. Also known as ascorbic acid. It helps to naturally boost Glutathione, which is responsible for lowering melanin production.
What does Vitamin C do for skin?
Topically, Vitamin C plays a major roll in collagen synthesis and assists in inhibiting the tyrosinase process, thus reducing pigment production. It is also a potent antioxidant that fights off free radicals. Free radicals are molecules that are missing an electron, causing skin damage and premature aging. So basically, it reduces fine lines, and wrinkles, brightens skin, evens out skin tone and firms naturally.
Can Vitamin C help lighten the skin?
Taking Vitamin C both topically and internally has shown to reduce the production of pigmentation and increase your cellular turnover rate! That’s why I love this vitamin, it does so much! It helps lighten pigmentation, boosts collagen while firming the skin. All ages, men and women want that!
Topically, I love the C-Lester Vitamin C20 Serum by Dermaesthetics Beverly Hills. I use this as my daily free radical defender and my nightly repair serum. I also enjoy fresh juicing with Vitamin C each morning. I use 3 medium oranges, (1 with the peel still on), and 1 grapefruit. Doing BOTH topically and internally, I notice clearer, brighter, even tone and firmer skin in just 3 short days. The best part is that results are so quick and easy!
What do you recommend for clients with hyperpigmentation?
You first need to ascertain what is causing the hyperpigmentation. Is it sun exposure, hormones, scaring, inflammation, injury; there are so many possibilities and most don’t know how to determine the cause.
I recommend a combination of professional corrective treatments and self care products. To best determine what treatments and products will work best for your skin, it is imperative to visit a professionally trained aesthetician. Proper skin diagnosis is key to correctly treat the source causing the pigmentation.
What should I expect from a Professional Esthetician?
Results! Once you set an appointment, generally you will start off by completing a client questionnaire about your skin and everyday lifestyle. This will help the esthetician learn about your skin, from the inside/out. Once the treatment commences, you will receive a deep Clinical Cleansing for proper skin analysis. Corrective treatments and self care will be selected so that you begin to see immediate and continued results!
Remember, a healthy skin starts from the inside-out! Make your appointment today at skinbio365.com or contact us to order your result oriented self care of Dermaesthetics Beverly Hills products!
