August is the Sunday of summer. Instantly we understand that to mean, sink deeply into that state of mind where you relax, enjoy the company of beloveds watching sunsets and swimming in cool waters.
About this time every year, we commend our patients who come into the clinic with arms and legs much more bronzed than their face. Zinc sunscreen and hats are standard issue of the SKin Phi Tribe. We are so proud of you, well done! If you want to look tanned in the face, we suggest self tanner or wear bronzer, your skin will thank you.
Many people think you have to hold off on your Retin-A or Retinol skincare during the summer. If you are being mindful of UV protection and avoidance on the face, there is no reason why you should stop your anti-ageing program with Retinol. Twice a week is fine, and don't over-irritate the skin. If you are still peeling or dry after two days, you are probably using too much or applying too frequently. Anti-oxidants such as Vitamin C, E, and the popular Ferulic acid offered in the Skinceuticals serums are a great way to attenuate your sunscreen and combat the harmful effects of UV radiation, environmental pollutants, and other stressors that can deteriorate your cells (sugar, alcohol, etc)
SKin Phi will be closed the week of August 25-29. There's still time to book something if you need to get extra gorgeous for that summer wedding or just want a little tweak to look summer refreshed. See if Lisa has a spot for you to unwind and get refreshed with the BelaMD and Indian Head Massage... you will leave glowing and feeling as light as a feather. It's truly a restorative gift to yourself if you have been stressed or feeling fatigued. Also makes a perfect gift for a loved one who is in need of some TLC.
Lara and I have an agenda to Botox, Moxi and Sofwave ourselves this month to get ready for the start of LaserSZN... the BBL engines get started in September!
Continue to enjoy these warm and easy days, see you soon, CHEERS!
