Holiday Skin Rehab 101

During the Holidays we get a lot of clients coming in with skin issues, from break outs, dark circles and dryness. This makes us love our Glymed Plus product line even more, because with a few simple steps we can help combat these skin issues!

BREAK OUTS:

• Stay away from candy and sugars! Many will deny any correlation,but I firmly believe and see on a daily basis it strongly effects the appearance of your skin. Sugar lowers your immune system and acne is caused by bacteria- in short your immune system is unable to fight the acne bacteria due to it's higher insulin levels. For more info check this sight out!

• What we've got... Sal-X Purifying Cleanser. Treat acne prone or aging skin with our specialized blend of 2.0% salicylic acid, green tea, aloe vera, and other rejuvenating ingredients. At the shop this one of our best selling products. You can use a few times a week to combat those pesky breakouts or use daily for a more of a chronic acne problem. 8.0 oz $35

• IN our studio... we do amazing Blissfully Blemish free treatments for mild to moderate acne & congestion, Serious Action Peeling treatments, for a few days of minor peeling these peels can really improve deeper congestion, larger break outs, dryness and pigmentation.
  

DARK CIRCLES:

• Sometimes this is a hereditary issue that a product can help lessen the appearance of the dark circles. Other times there are other factors check a few things to see if any of these apply.Do you have any allergies to gluten, are you suffering from lack of sleep, do you hydrate your skin through water and is your skin under your eyes thinning?
