Winter Skin Care Tips – Eyes

During the winter, when the days are shorter we spend more time inside, often under florescent lighting. The cold air has low humidity and the heating systems in our homes dry out our eyes.  All these factors contribute to our eyes tending to look tired, red and puffy.

We recommend doing an eye mask with green tea or cucumber. A collagen eye mask will not only sooth your eyes but will also help with preventing signs of premature aging. Use an eye cream daily and treat your eyes with care.

Visit Facelogic Skin Care Spa Redmond for the following products to care for the eye area. Eminence Organics Cucumber Eye Gel, DG Skincare Hydra Pure Eye Cream.

What is FITE?

FITE is a global empowerment platform powered by Dermalogica, the world’s leading professional skin care brand, and Kiva.org, the nonprofit leader in microfinance, that is designed to foster Financial Independence Through Entrepreneurship for women in the developing world. Our mission is to provide women entrepreneurs access to small loans that will help them start or grow a business; and to help educate the public at large about the benefits of empowering women entrepreneurs so that they “can hold up their half of the sky.” In just the first 2 years, we aim to help at least 25,000 women in this capacity. Leading thinkers in social development, including the World Bank, hail investing in women as “smart economics,” an untapped resource that can help solve many of the problems we see in our world today. Indeed, lending to women produces a positive ripple effect of improved health, education, and welfare for all household members.

In his private practice, Dr. Gross witnessed his patients’ quest for beauty and their dissatisfaction with the scope of beauty treatments available to address everything from aging to acne. With chemical peels becoming increasingly popular, he observed a phenomenon he describes as “over-exfoliation.” These peels produced chronic inflammation and sabotaged the beauty and health of his patients’ skin. Determined to improve upon these harsh and ineffective treatments, he formulated the Alpha Beta® Daily Face Peel, a facial peel originally created as a treatment for use on his patients.

In 2002 the MD Skincare, today known as Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare™, products for in-home use officially launched.

“With the right skincare products, you can achieve at home – what it once took a visit to a dermatologist to accomplish.” Dr. Dennis Gross

If you do not thoroughly cleanse your skin, it will look ruddy and un-healthy and can result in minor skin irritations and problems.  Your skin type is determined by your age, sex, genes and environment. How you take care of your skin will show on your hands, face and body. It is never too late or too early to start caring for your skin – to accomplish that glow that enhances your beauty.

Here Are Tips For Choosing The Correct Cleanser For Your Skin:

- Shiny and oily skin that is susceptible to pimples and other blemishes should be cleansed by using a “foaming wash”: this offers a clean after using and will not strip your skin of its natural, beneficial oils.

- Dry skin, with a tight feeling, no shine and no open pores, should be cleansed with“cleansing milk” which is formulated for dry skin. Dry skin needs a gentle cleansing formula that will add moisture and replace lost oil in the skin that is replenished by most cleansing milks.

- Combination skin refers to skin having an oily “T zone”, meaning the forehead, mouth, chin and nose. This area of the skin normally has large and open pores and the cheeks are generally normal or dry. Use a cleansing gel to clean your face as will cleanse your skin gently and will not leave your skin harsh and dry after cleansing.

- Mature skin or skin that which is losing its “elasticity”. With this type of skin, facial lines will be apparent on the skin’s surface the skin tends to be very dry. A vitamin “E” rich “cleansing milk” will be perfect for this skin type, it provides nourishment for your skin.

Facial Peels, Scrubs And Exfoliants;

Scrubs and exfoliants are generally formulated with a creamy base that contains fine grainy elements. The finer grains, the more efficient it is in exfoliating the face as it lifts out dirt particles that clog the pores.

Dermatologists recommend using peels, exfoliant and scrubs once a week to deeply clean the pores.

Fine granule exfoliants are gentler on the face than those with larger granules that can irritate or scratch your skin. Peels are generally applied and left on the face to dry for approximately 15 minutes or so before peeling them off. Choose mild peels to avoid irritation.

When problems arise during the use of these products, stop their use and immediately consult a dermatologist.

As we age, desquamation slows, and can cause skin dullness, follicle clogging, and dryness. Through exfoliation, dulling skin cells are effectively removed and newer cells are revealed for a fresher, healthier appearance. Exfoliation is critical for all skin conditions. Dermalogica recommends pairing one day of intense exfoliation with a week of gentle exfoliation to more effectively stimulate cell renewal rates, reduce signs of premature aging, improve skin texture and brighten.

Our Dermalogica microdermabrasion treatments have many beneficial effects. With the stratum corneum gone, the skin’s surface is improved. The healing process brings with it newer skin cells that look and feel smoother. Some of the skin’s visible imperfections, like sun damage, blemishes and fine lines, are removed. Also, without the stratum corneum acting as a barrier, medicinal creams and lotions are more effective because more of their active ingredients and moisture can find their way down to the lower layers of skin.

A non-invasive exfoliation treatment which helps to repair the skin, by reducing the appearance of acne scars, cleaning clogged pores, and restoring a healthier smoother skin while helping to fight signs of aging and hyperpigmentation.

What can I expect? Will I have some irritation and redness? Irritation and redness are common responses, due to the histamine reaction caused by the removal of the hair by the root. You will experience some discomfort. We suggest maintenance of every 3-4 weeks which reduces the thickness of hair re-growth.  If you keep up a regular schedule of hair removal every 3-4 weeks your discomfort level will decrease. We recommend the use of “No Scream Cream from Relax and Wax” to be applied 30-45 minutes prior to your appointment, available for purchase at our spa.
