Revamp Your Products

The Specials of the Month features PCA skincare products. Purchase a buy one get one free facial and receive 20% off all skin care products. This is the perfect opportunity to revamp that dull, lifeless, skin. A facial will increase circulation and stimulate the skin. Your skin will be more hydrated and your skincare products will work more effectively. Getting on a proper skin care regimen will help improve your skin's tone and texture. I find that so many clients are using the wrong products for their skin type. With this months special, you can get the proper treatment for your skin without breaking the bank.

Gentle Exfoliant

My favorite daily exfoliator that I like to use is PCA's Gentle Exfoliator. I keep a bottle in my shower and use it every morning. It's a non-abrasive creamy scrub that is very effective in preventing the build up of dead skin cells. With the combination of aloe vera and glycolic acid, your skin is polished and smooth feeling. Great for keeping those pores cleaned out.

BPO Cleanser 5%

My go to cleanser for acne and breakouts is BPO Cleanser 5% by PCA Skin. It has 5% benxoyl peroxide, which is antibacterial and very effective in treating acne. This cleanser also has botanical extracts (chamomile and aloe vera) that help soothe and calm the skin. I love using this cleanser on myself too when I get an occasional breakout. It has a creamy consistency without the oily residue feeling.

Used twice a day in your daily skin care regimen, your skin will clear up without drying out.

Winter Skin

Brrrr. I woke up this morning and it's freezing outside. Living in the desert with occassional 80 degree temperatures in the daytime, I forget that its still Winter. My skin really notices the cold temps too. Do you have the same problems with your skin this time of year? One of the biggest problems that we make during this time of year is we don't change our skin care products. What you use in the Summer is not always whats going to work for your skin in the Winter. Our skin need more moisturizing than in the hot months. Change out your nighttime moisturizer for a richer formula. Even oily skin can benefit from this. You may need to also add a serum to your routine as well. A serum penetrates deeper into the layers of skin than a moisturizer can. It can be used in conjunction with your moisturizer. My personal favorite is Hydrating Serum from PCA Skin. It works on all skin types and gives your skin that extra boost. And even though its cold out, don't forget the sunscreen. Also remember to drink your daily fluids.

Anti-Aging Treatment

I've been telling clients for years that the best anti-aging treatment for your skin besides sunscreen is retinol. Prescription retinol (Retin-A, Renova) works great but tends to leave your skin red, sensitive, and dry. I've always put up with it because I knew it was great for anti-aging and acne. The skin care line I use and love, PCA Skin came out with a prescription strength retinol of their own. Retinol Renewal gives me all the same benefits of the prescriptions but without the irritating side effects. It was even featured in the new issue of New Beauty magazine. My new favorite product!

It can be used on sensitive skin without the irritation of the prescriptions. I do sell it at my studio and I am working on getting my website set up to sell online as well.
