Are you looking for healthy, hydrated, and radiant skin?

We do not want to skip two crucial steps in our skincare routine during winter— Exfoliation and Hydration. These two impactful steps improve the overall brightness, texture, and overall health of your skin.

Exfoliation

There are two different types of Exfoliation— Physical and Chemical. Physical Exfoliators use a scrub or beads to manually remove dead skin cells from the skin surface. Chemical Exfoliators utilize an acid based formula to dissolve dead skin cells (and some products include regenerative and antioxidant properties). Both exfoliants work very differently but both aid in the gentle removal of dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, improving texture and luminosity and keep dry, rough skin at bay.

“I like my skin best when it’s clean and glowy, and that comes from sleep, hydration, and happiness.”

Hydration

As the temperature drops and the wind picks up, you may find that your skin is feeling drier than usual. This is perfectly normal, but it’s important to take steps to keep your skin healthy and hydrated. While exfoliating can help remove dead skin cells, which can contribute to dryness and roughness, it’s equally important to ensure that your skin is well hydrated.

One of the best ways to hydrate your skin is to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Water helps to flush out toxins and keeps your skin cells plump and healthy. Additionally, you can apply moisturizer to your skin after bathing or showering to help lock in moisture and keep your skin soft and supple.

Finally, be sure to protect your skin from the elements by wearing a hat and gloves when you’re outside, and applying sunscreen to your face and hands to prevent sun damage.

By taking these simple steps, you can help keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and soft, even as the weather turns colder.

Book your Aesthetic Consultation

We have many different skincare options available, and we know it can be overwhelming, so we invite you to book an Aesthetic Consultation to learn what products are best to get your skin glowing and healthy this season.

Now is the time to rejuvenate and resurface your skin for that perfect summer glow!

Lighten your unwanted sun damage and learn to prevent more from popping up this summer. Years of cumulative UV exposure contribute to visible sun spots, chronic redness, and collagen breakdown, leading to fine lines and wrinkles.

Some of the best ways to rejuvenate the skin from sun damage include photorejuvenation and laser resurfacing treatments, such as Sciton BBL and Sciton Moxi.

Solution #1: Sciton BBL Photorejuvenation

Our Sciton BBL Photorejuvenation is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses light energy to improve the appearance of the skin. It can help to reduce the signs of sun damage, such as sun spots, redness, and uneven texture, while also stimulating collagen production to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Photorejuvenation treatments use a device, such as Sciton BBL, to deliver pulses of light energy to the skin, which are absorbed by the targeted areas, causing the skin to produce new collagen and elastin fibers. The result is smoother, more even-toned, and youthful-looking skin. 

“My daughter has bought me a couple of treatments from Quartz as Mother’s Day gift so I’ve been going there since May and I’ve noticed some amazing results in my skin. My dark spots and pigmentation due to sun damage has drastically lightened. I’ve also switched to their products which has also made a huge difference. The staff is very helpful and friendly and I’ve been loving my experience here. Highly recommend.”

Solution #2: Sciton Moxi Laser Resurfacing

Our Sciton Moxi Laser Resurfacing treatment uses laser technology to improve the appearance of the skin. It can help to reduce the signs of sun damage, such as wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots, while also improving skin texture and tone. 

Laser resurfacing treatments use a laser device, such as Sciton Moxi, to deliver pulses of laser energy to the skin, which remove damaged skin cells and stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. This process results in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. Laser resurfacing can be customized to treat specific areas of the face or body and to the individual needs of each patient.

Skin care can reduce signs of sun damage

Solution #3: Skin Care

Several skincare products can help to lighten and reduce visible signs of sun damage, such as sun spots, hyperpigmentation, and redness. The most effective ingredients for this purpose include vitamin C, kojic acid, hydroquinone, and niacinamide. These ingredients work by inhibiting melanin production and reducing inflammation in the skin.

How do you prevent further sun damage?

One of the most effective ways to prevent further sun damage is to wear SPF daily, even on cloudy days. Look for a sunscreen that you like and will use, and make sure it offers broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays. At Quartz, we offer a variety of SPF formulas to ensure we have something for everyone, including sunscreen for your lips. It’s also a good idea to wear protective clothing, such as a hat and sunglasses, and to seek shade during peak sun hours.

Additionally, using skincare products that contain antioxidants, such as vitamin C, can help to protect your skin from free radical damage caused by UV exposure.

We have many different skincare options available, and we know it can be overwhelming, so we invite you to book an Aesthetic Consultation to learn what products are best to get your skin glowing and healthy this season.

Did you know that the skin around the eyes requires special attention?

The skin around your eyes is thinner and more fragile than the rest of the face and can be more prone to expression lines, dehydration, and laxity. We suggest investing early in a great quality eye cream to help prevent the signs of early aging. Eye cream is different than your average facial moisturizer. It has been specifically formulated to target concerns related to the delicate skin around your eyes— especially if dark circles, puffiness, fine lines, or irritation are present. They are designed to be more lightweight and easily absorbed, as heavy creams can cause puffiness and irritation around the eyes. 

Eye creams often contain ingredients such as caffeine, retinol, and vitamin C, which can help reduce the appearance of dark circles, fine lines, and wrinkles. Most moisturizers cannot provide enough hydration for the delicate skin under the eyes, as they are formulated for the thicker, more resilient skin on the rest of the face. (Also, eye creams are often fragrance-free and gentle, making them less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions.)

Use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser and eye cream to prevent dryness and irritation. Apply sunscreen daily and wear sunglasses to protect the under-eye area from harmful UV rays. Getting enough rest, staying hydrated, and managing stress can improve the overall health and appearance of the skin under your eyes.

Are you looking for more than just eye cream?

At Quartz we offer a range of treatment and product options dependent on your goals and concerns. By using medical-grade skincare alongside treatments like our SylfirmX RF Microneedling or Skinpen Microneedling you can begin to see optimal results as early as six weeks.

Do you struggle with rough, dull, or bumpy skin? 

It could be congestion.

The pores on our skin are like tiny openings that allow sweat, oil, and dead skin cells to escape. However, when these pores become clogged with excess oil and dead skin cells, it causes congestion. This congestion can lead to the formation of blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples. As time passes, the blockage can worsen, causing the pores to enlarge and making the skin’s texture appear uneven and bumpy.

We recommend clearing congestion at Quartz with the Aquafirme Medical Grade Facial or utilizing one of our Chemical Peels. Both treatments remove debris that clogs your pores by exfoliating the skin’s surface and extracting the blackheads.

We offer a variety of at-home treatment options that prevent congestion for all skin types, like our ZO Complexion Renewal Pads. Come into Quartz for an Aesthetic Consultation to see what treatments or products we would recommend for your unique skin concerns.

Do you have Keratosis Pilaris?

Have you ever noticed those tiny little bumps on the back of your arms or legs? Still trying to figure out what they are? Want to get rid of them?

Those tiny little bumps are called Keratosis Pilaris, “KP” for short. They occur when the hair follicles get plugged with dead, dry skin. KP is typically found on the back of the arms and legs but can also affect the backside. You may notice them more in the colder, dryer months. The bumps are harmless but can be bothersome, making the skin feel rough and dull.

Here are some simple solutions to minimize Keratosis Pilaris (and create smoother skin).

 

Solution #1

ExfoliatE

Regular exfoliation is a vital step in any skincare routine. It involves the removal of dead skin cells that accumulate and clog the hair follicles, which can lead to rough, uneven skin texture. By incorporating daily exfoliation techniques, such as dry brushing, scrubs, or chemical exfoliants, you can effectively slough off dead skin cells, revealing a smoother, healthier-looking complexion. Not only does it help improve the skin’s texture, but it also allows skincare products to penetrate better, leading to more effective results.

At Quartz, we have several exfoliants to choose from, and one of our favorite products for Keratosis Pilaris is ZO Skin Health Body Emulsion. It contains Retinol and Lactic Acid to increase cell turnover, gently exfoliate and hydrate.

Solution #2

Moisturize

One of the best ways to manage Keratosis Pilaris is by following a two-step process that involves exfoliating and moisturizing. We recommend exfoliating your skin during or after a bath or shower to get the best results. After exfoliating, apply a moisturizer to your skin immediately to help lock in moisture and keep your skin feeling soft and smooth. By following this two-step process regularly, you can help improve the appearance and texture of your skin and prevent future KP breakouts.

If you’re looking for hydration we have a variety of options available for you to choose from at Quartz Mind, Body + Skin.
