The season changes bring excitement and anticipation of all fall and winter have to offer. The holidays are a joyful time, and we want to make sure you look your very best. Seasonal changes mean changes to the skin, too. As your skin adjusts to dry, heated air, and less sun exposure, we offer plans to limit the less-than-optimal effects of seasonal changes on the skin. Good news first; it is time to reintroduce our extremely effective natural Retinol Serum. Retinol is well-known for its properties that increase cell turnover and diminish wrinkles and sun damage. We recommend avoiding retinol products in the summer because it energizes skin turnover and can make your complexion more sensitive. As Fall progresses and the holidays are around the corner, using retinol in combination with Antioxidant Serum in the morning combines protection plus regeneration. We recommend Hydrating Cream morning and night to ensure the dry indoor air does not dehydrate the skin. Our eye cream offers extra protection for the delicate areas around the eye.The pairing of Retinol and Antioxidant Serum give skin both regeneration and protection from the elements. Our Antioxidant serum contains high potency multi-C and a Ferulic Acid cocktail that drenches the skin in an infusion of powerful antioxidants, and offers advanced protection from photo aging, UV damage and hyperpigmentation.

We formulate our product lines for all types of skin, but also for the changing seasons of the year.  Many may not realize how your skin benefits from skincare tailored to the changes that seasons will bring; for example, we recommend retinol for the fall, but not the summer season. To regenerate skin post-summer season, we recommend our serum formulated to do just that. Regenerating Serum and Cream are the antidote to skin that needs nourishment. This serum uses plant-based stem cells to revitalize and protect the skin on a deep, cellular level. This unique cocktail of regenerative plant actives and skin conditioners helps to protect the cells against UV stress, especially after the sunny season. 

Active Key Ingredients include:

• PhytoCellTec® Alp Rose: protects skin stem cells
• PhytoCellTec® Argan: improves the regeneration of dermal skin cells, reduces wrinkles
• PhytoCellTec® Solar Vitis: protects skin stem cells against UV stress
• Ferulic Acid: antioxidant, protects skin cells from UV damage
• L-Arginine: amino acid that activates the production of protein, expedites wound healing and prevents tissue deterioration
• Bisabolol: accelerates the healing process of skin

Use these products for your morning regimen to prevent oxidative stress throughout the day. Combiner non-irritating Retinol Serum once or twice in the evening to achieve fresher and more youthful skin.

Summer gives us long outdoor days with picnics on the beach or trail, lots of sun and beautiful vistas. We protect our skin with sunscreen, but it is often not a match for the extra sun and wind exposure.

We see many patients with skin that is stressed, dry, sun-damaged and dehydrated. In our spa we’ll recommend the sensitive hydrafacial treatment that is specifically designed to help red, allergy-prone and irritated skin. The facial gently exfoliates the damaged and dead skin cells, then drenches the complexion with hydrating and calming botanicals. When not in the office, your daily use solution is the Calming Kit.

The Calming Serum and Cream is packed with ingredients like Aloe Vera and Arnica, perfect for sensitive, dry and summer-damaged skin, as well after microneedling. It is the take-home product of the Sensitive Facial, which was created to refresh and calm the skin. Our summer activities always stress skin with too much sun and dry air, more outdoor-time and consequent hyperpigmentation. To battle stressed skin we use the well-known healer and anti-inflammatory Arnica. Used for centuries both topically and internally Arnica is the completely natural, botanically-based solution.

Our calming at-home facial kit was created for sensitive and overtaxed skin during summer vacation, when your complexion is over exposed to sun and dry. In addition, this kit is an excellent choice for postoperative care to help promote healing. Designed to offer a take-home version of the Calming Facial, the kit includes a gentle exfoliant, Calming Mask and Antioxidant Serum to ensure your skin continues to be nourished, protected, and healed while on vacation. It exfoliates, cools, and calms the skin, and protects from UVA and UVB damage, which is crucial for skin protection.
