Skin Medica’s LipPlump System is wonderful.  It is a two-step lip treatment that is easy to use.  Step 1  is a cream that you can apply twice a day to help minimize vertical lines and over time increase lip volume.  For me, I thought it helped to moisturize my lips and I noticed it enhanced my natural lip color.  Step 2 is a gloss that gives you that instant plumping as well as enriching your natural lip color.

SkinEssentials is proud to introduce Skin Medica’s most popular products to Denver.  For more information on this product and many others please visit our SkinEssentials website.

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive skin resurfacing procedure that uses a special surgical blade to gently scrape away the top layer of dead epidermal cells. This is a great alternative for clients who have broken capillaries, who shouldn’t do microdermabasions.

Dermaplaning is ideal for anyone interested in:

•                 Removal of villous facial hair (peach fuzz) which can trap excess dirt and oil
•                 An alternative hair removal technique
•                 Make-up goes on flawless leaving you with soft glowing skin

Dermaplaning is virtually painless. You may feel a mild scratching during the treatment. You may appear to have a mild sunburn. This is a great procedure to do before certain chemical peels.

Upkeep is once every four weeks.

Invest in Maintenance Packages: Many of the skin rejuvenation options that are offered today assist in the skin’s ability to revitalize itself. Maintenance is required to keep the aging process from speeding up, so that you look effortlessly youthful as you mature.

When weighing your options of single treatments and packages always look at…

• How much are you saving in the long run and is it worth spending the money up front?
• Are you going to commit to the recommended schedule? If you are not committed you may find yourself spending unnecessarily. Try making all of your appointments when you purchase the package. This will help you keep your agenda in front of you.
• Are you looking for true correction and healthier skin? Full correction and restoration will come with your commitment to maintaining your results. Once you have reached you desired look it is much easier to keep it, so starting early with preventative treatments will keep you from having to start from scratch!

Why is this, when there are so many ways to prevent the disease?

Education is going to be the number one way to keep yourself safe from the sun’s harmful rays. Follow these simple steps to healthier skin and a longer lasting life!

• ALWAYS apply sun screen and lip balm with at least a 15 SPF for everyday wear, even on cloudy days. On the days that you’re spending more time outside make sure your sunscreen is at least a 30 SPF. Re-apply every few hours so that you are fully protected.
• Choose sunglasses that are stylish and protect from UVA and UVB rays
• Try to avoid spending long periods of time in direct sun between 10am and 4pm. This is when the sun is at its highest point, making your skin more susceptible to damage.
• Bring out your summer wardrobe! Stay out of darker colors as they attract the sun.
• Try a hat! Keep your face, neck, and chest covered while in direct view of the sun.
