Flawless skin takes work. While it’s true there are a few lucky people that don’t need to put effort into their perfect, clear skin, the majority of us do. As we age, this becomes even truer, because we try to fight off wrinkles and a host of other skin concerns that arise with aging (and by aging, we mean anyone over 30). Below, we’ve rounded up some of the most common skin problems we see at the spa, and the easy solutions to combat them!

1. Acne
It doesn’t just affect young people. Acne is a frustrating problem for adults as well. Humidity, stress, diet, sweating and bad hygiene can cause acne. A lot of treatments are out there but we recommend beginning with a healthy diet, good hygiene habits (wash your face daily), and coming in for regular facials to deep clean your pores as you remove the impurities from your skin. If you’re lost when it comes to the best products for your face, we will recommend what will work for your skin type. Just ask! Our spa team is well versed on the products we offer.

2. Rosacea
Rosacea’s trademark is redness. Red cheeks, red nose and red chin. This inflammatory skin disease is frustrating and worsens if left untreated. It’s important to address factors that might trigger flares such as the sun, certain foods, and products with skin-disagreeable ingredients.

3. Wrinkles
This is the evidence of aging that none of us will escape: wrinkles! And what’s the number one cause of wrinkles? Cigarettes! Put an end to smoking today, for your skin and for innumerable other reasons. You can prevent wrinkles by using a moisturizer daily, wearing sunscreen and taking care of your skin to keep it healthy. To find out more about revitalizing skin and reducing wrinkles, let’s discuss the treatments tailored specifically to wipe out your pesky wrinkles.
Give yourself some love and self-care by addressing these skin concerns. Visit the spa and we will help you! Or if you want to chat about anything mentioned above, give a call 978-777-7278.

As the weather gets colder, it can affect he epidermis and lead to a lack of suppleness. Due to the climate change and the changes in the environment the skin is more vulnerable to dryness with a rough, flaky texture lacking in elasticity and glow.

1. Refine, renew and rejuvenate with the help of natural AHA, BHA and Retinol.
2. Correct signs of sun exposure with the help of Arbutin, Kojic Acid and Vitamins C and B#.
3. Replenish essential moisture with vitamin E, Hyaluronic Acid, Kukui and Brazil Nut oils, boost the routine by adding a rich moisturizing serum before your night cream, this will supply the skin with the essential vitamins and antioxidants needed for a silky smooth and radiant texture.
4. Nourish and strengthen the epidermal barrier to avoid unwanted sensitivity; essential fatty acids will help maintain a balanced skin barrier function that will not be affected by harsh environmental factors such as low temperatures and cold winds.
5. SPF Daily, don’t skip SPF even on cloudy days.

We’re reminded to put ourselves first and make time for our physical and mental health. If you make your health a priority, it’ll help you stay in good physical shape and will keep sicknesses and diseases at bay.

We put our family’s needs ahead of our own, ignoring small aches and pains and minor symptoms…month after month and year after year–until it eventually begins to negatively affect our health. Practicing preventive care is one of the best ways you can stay healthy, as doing this will allow you to give your all in everything you do for your family, your spouse and yourself.

It’s very important to get screenings, especially if you’re at a higher risk for certain diseases such as diabetes or breast cancer. Talk to your doctor about emotional stress, depression and other non-physical concerns as well.

As women, we can remain healthy at any age and at every stage of our lives with preventive care as well as eating a healthy diet, exercising on a regular basis and keeping our stress levels down to a minimum.

If you’re not already doing so, start making your health a priority today!
