Day Spa Orlando

The biggest age give away next to your face is definitely your hands.  They are also the #1 over looked body part in anti-aging esthetics.  Most women are aware of the risks of sun damage and use a daily sunscreen on their face and maybe even their neck and decollete, but very few actually apply sunscreen to their hands .

If you haven’t noticed what an age giveaway hands can be, start looking around.  The next time you go to shake someone’s hand look and see if their hands match their age?  Your hands can age you by easily 10 years! 

The good news is that this is all easily treatable.  The best way to start down the road of repair is a combination of laser treatments (IPL, we use the Palomar Laser) and chemical peels.  Both are painless and the results are fantastic.  You can either treat only your hands or a more economical solution is to add a hand treatment to any other facial service you maybe getting. Maintenance  and prevention are also important in achieving a more youthful look. A good rule of thumb is what ever you put on our face, also put on your hands. The Vitamin C you may be using on your face to repair UV damage, will do the same for your hands. Don’t forget to apply your sunscreen to your hands daily as well.  The added expense will definitely be worth it and the next time you go to shake someones hand you can smile because your hands won’t give away your age.

New Options for Orlando Tan Worshipers

In spite of all the bad press that the sun has been getting over the course of the past two decades, one fact still remains and that is that a nice tan sure does look good on a person. This has led to more and more people turning to artificial means to give themselves that healthy golden glow that a great suntan will give. However; what far too many people found, was that too many “bottled suntans” left them looking “orange and streaked”.

A Natural Looking Streakless Artificial Tan

Skinceutical research developers went to work and the fruits of their labor is the final answer to all the problems that came with a sunless suntan. Its called Skinceuticals San Soleil Self Tanner and it is the one product that finally delivers a truly natural looking artificial suntan.

How does it do it? Most artificial self tanning products use DHA or dihydroxy acetone as their main active ingredient. This chemical produces a long lasting artificial tan but it does have evenness and coloring problems, that can leave the user looking streaked and orangish. San Soleil Self Tanner from Skinceuticals uses this same chemical but it also contains a chemical additive called erythrulose. This new chemical additive effectively eliminates the problem, resulting in a perfectly natural looking artificial tan. San Soleil Self Tanner is now available at Reina Rena.

Skin cells start to turn over at a slower rate after the age of twenty, but some of the most dramatic shifts take place in your thirties and forties. After forty, you can expect reduced collagen production, fewer new skin cells every week, and an increased risk of age spots and fine lines that quickly add years to your appearance. Even the healthiest diet and lifestyle habits won’t stop the clock; fortunately, there are many ways to preserve those youthful looks.

Winter Park Chemical peels are still one of the most effective Winter Park skincare treatments that offer many benefits for mature and aging skin. Ongoing Winter Park facial treatments and a lifetime skincare plan can reduce the impact of sun damage, weather changes, and a slow metabolism to stimulate healthy cell production instead.

Chemical peels help to improve the appearance of aging and dull skin by promoting healthy skin growth. The procedure essentially ‘injures’ the top layer of the skin with acid, stimulating the cells beneath the skin’s surface which results in rapid skin cell growth. This rapid turnover helps to ‘flush’ away old skin cells, toxins, and bacteria embedded in the skin’s surface, leaving you with a fresh and youthful looking complexion. Despite the initial burning sensation, chemical peels are relatively painless and help to jump start the natural process of cell turnover.

 The skin requires special treatment and a daily skin regime in order to look and feel its finest. There are certain things you can do to keep your Orlando skin healthy and beautiful. The key to having soft, smooth, clear, youthful and glowing skin is constant and regular proactive maintenance.

One of the most important steps to having beautiful healthy skin is to maintain a healthy diet and exercise. Your outside reflects what’s inside.  Make sure your diet is rich in vitamins, minerals, and proteins. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and don’t forget to keep well hydrated, drink 8 to 10 glasses of water per day. Also, consider taking a daily multivitamin with anti-oxidants. Exercise is good for your whole body, but particularly for your skin.  Exercise can help increase skin tone and maintain elasticity.  Exercise can also increase the blood flow to your skin and give it a healthy glow.

It’s not enough to get an Orlando facial to keep your skin clear and beautiful. You need to have a great home skin-care routine as well. Make sure you cleanse your face twice daily, once in the morning and again at night before bed. Your skin rejuvenates itself at night, so cleansing before bed is critical to a healthy skin regime. Use a gentle cleanser and do not scrub and wash too hard. Exfoliating aids with skin renewal and improves your skin’s elasticity. Elasticity is what makes our skin appear younger, and as we get older we lose elasticity and that youthful ability of our skin to ‘bounce back’ from any damage that may occur. Anything you can do to preserve your skin’s youthful glow is encouraged, and exfoliating once a week is definitely one of the keys to healthy skin!  Moisturize. Always moisturize, Even if you have oily skin. It is important to use the right moisturizer for your skin type. Don’t know what your skin type is? See your Orlando Esthetician  for assistance. I also recommend using a Vitamin C serum from Skin Ceuticals. I have seen amazing results in all of my patients who use this product faithfully. I honestly believe that there is not another product on the market today that compares to this one.

The most important way to take care of your skin is to protect it from the sun. Avoid being out during peak times, wear a hat, wear sunglasses, and be generous with sunscreen.Use a good-quality sunscreen containing Zinc or Parsol. Most of the changes seen in aging skin are actually caused by a lifetime of sun exposure. I recommend applying sunscreen daily on your face, neck, chest and backs of your hands.

Quit Smoking. Smoking accelerates aging of your skin and increases wrinkles. Skin changes from smoking can appear in young adults after 10 years of smoking. Smoking causes narrowing of the tiny blood vessels in the outermost layers of skin. This decreases blood flow, depleting the skin of oxygen and nutrients that are important to skin health.

Do not squeeze your breakouts yourself.  Although very tempting, by squeezing you pimples and black heads, the bacteria spreads and your acne will not disappear. Constant squeezing of spots will cause scarring of the skin, which can be very difficult and expensive to remove. It is best to leave your deep pore cleanings to a professional.
