In the coming weeks, mornings will cool, days will shorten, and routines will shift. It’s this natural progression of changes that makes life exciting and day to day customs feels renewed. However, we see many patients who neglect to change their anti-aging skin care routines as the traditionally dry months of September and October approach.

beautiful-face As the temperature outside begins to slightly decrease, it’s very important to remember the importance of applying sunscreen multiple times per day. Wearing a 30+ SPF broad spectrum sunscreen can protect your skin against melasma (dark spots caused by the sun), skin cancer, and premature wrinkles. It’s easy to think that sun damage is less of a risk because the temperature is cooler, but taking a break from applying sunscreen should not be an option.

If you’ve let this habit slip in years past, laser skin resurfacing can eliminate the signs of aging that often accompany unprotected sun exposure. Fractionated CO2 and Erbium laser treatments emit small columns of light to the affected area, stimulating collagen and elastin production to reduce wrinkles. When you have laser resurfacing treatments, you can see younger-looking, rejuvenated skin.

Your skin may feel dry and even peel as the moisture in the air decreases. With a Laser Lights skin analysis and pre-treatment consultation, we can help you determine which treatments and products can best keep your skin moisturized, supple, and healthy. Our licensed estheticians are trained to expertly recommend a skin care routine that maintains a youthful glow without the presence of greasy or dried out skin. Estheticians may recommend that you switch to a heavier moisturizer for the fall and winter over the lighter options often recommended for summer. The peeling often caused by the drying weather can promote the clogging of pores and aggravate an already uncomfortable condition for acne sufferers. We offer a full line of skin care products and effective treatments as a solution.

Regardless of your skin type, we have treatments and products that can help your skin weather the changing seasons.

The freedom of not having to cake on makeup during the sultry months of summer is a beautiful thing. After all, who doesn’t long to just throw on a light layer of tinted moisturizer with sunscreen and go? However, bumps and acne that come from sweat, oil, and clogged pores is often the reality that comes along with this time of year. Instead of turning to harsh chemicals to treat your skin, check some natural ways to get your best skin for summertime.

Have your antioxidant levels checked. By utilizing the Pharmanex Antioxidant Scanner, our highly-trained staff is able to recommend appropriate LifePak/G3 nutritional supplementation in efforts to positively impact health and anti-aging abilities. Antioxidants slow down the aging process, boost your immune system, speed recovery times, and decrease pain and inflammation.
Try massage therapy. Stimulate your lymphatic system and reduce stress to increase your chances of soothing inflamed skin. Our licensed massage therapist specializes in therapeutic massage: combining Swedish, sports, deep tissue, and trigger point therapy.
Take advantage of yummy summer foods. Berries are packed with antioxidants that can protect the skin and reduce sun damage. Citrus fruits have amino acids that contribute to collagen production. Lycopene in tomatoes does the same while fending you from fine lines and wrinkles. Dig in!
Protect your skin. Never step out of the house without sunscreen. We offer great products that contain sunscreen along with flaw coverage, including glō minerals Protecting Powder, which features SPF 30 coverage to defend against the sun’s damaging rays.
Stay hydrated. Drinking water consistently throughout the day won’t only make you feel better, but can also help clear your skin and increase a radiant, glowing look—not to be confused with the persistent layer of sweat that accompanies summer! Coconut water also supports more supple skin and contains potassium to help more effectively transport nutrients and oxygen to the skin by boosting circulation.
Hit the gym or exercise outside. The increased circulation from working on your fitness can give your skin tone a boost, helping clear cell debris out of the system and cleaning from the inside out.

Top 5 Ways to Keep Skin Healthy This Winter

As the weather cools this winter, scratchy, dry skin and chapped lips are common results of the harsher elements. While most people just take the unpleasant occurrence as something that comes with the territory of cold weather, at Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center, we believe in taking preventative and protective methods to create a barrier against the negative effects chilly temperatures and changing seasons have on our skin. Below, we share some tips to keep your entire body moisturized and smooth all year long.

Change your cleansers: While fighting oil and pore-clogging sweat is an endless battle in the summer, the winter normally gives us a break from it. Instead of using cleansers that leave you feeling “squeaky clean” and tight, use a moisturizing cleanser followed by an oil-free moisturizer. A cleanser that accelerates the natural skin renewal process, such as Laser Lights’AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser, is also beneficial for exfoliating and revealing youthful skin.

Moisturize more often: Along the same lines, skin may require applying more moisturizer in the winter to keep a smooth, flake-free appearance. While you may only apply moisturizer before bed in the summer to avoid oiliness, we recommend changing your routine to apply morning and night in the winter. Moisturizers like Shea body butter work to provide skin firmness and thickness and repair damaged skin caused by dropping temperatures.

Don’t forget the sunscreen: Sunscreen goes beyond the summertime usage. Winter sun is just as damaging and able to create pesky age spots. Applying a broad-spectrum, high SPF sunscreen to hands and face can prevent them as well as wrinkles and premature aging. Try Laser Lights own Advanced Protection SPF 30 natural sunscreen with Z-Cote, UVA and UVB protection for all skin types for best results.

Water, water, water: Water is great for staying moisturized in the wintertime and also contributes to overall health and wellness. Do your best to consume eight to twelve glasses a day, stay consistent with your moisturizing routine, and watch dry skin disappear.

Pay extra attention to your hands: It can become very difficult to keep hands smooth due to their lack of some essential oil glands. Avoid itchiness and cracking by wearing gloves when outdoors and applying an extra-intensive hand cream. At Laser Lights, we offer hand rejuvenation treatments with paraffin wax, dermal fillers, and special Erbium (YAG) laser peels and TCA peels made just for the hands.
