Prom Season, Graduation Season, and soon to be Wedding Season! Winter is finally gone (or at least firmly on its way out!) and now is the time many of us start to think about big events we have coming up. How do we begin to get our skin ready? 80% of the population will deal with acne at some point in their lives. Most of us seem to deal with it right before a big day. Here are some tips to help yourself:
Precautions and Self Care for Acne situations:
Following these instructions will help you prevent future breakouts. If acne persists or you'd like help to cystic acne or scarring from acne, Refine offers several services and products that have a great track record! Combining treatments such as microdermabrasion and chemical peels with our acne product lines can lead to maximized results. See the Refine website for more information on specialized acne treatments.
Finally, if your acne is severe and treatments don't seem to be working, we recommend visiting a board-certified Dermatologist.
Spring is coming! (despite the blizzard swirling around us in Minnesota as I write this) and we're getting alot of questions about ways you can improve the appearance and health of your skin. The great news is you do have control over many things that impact your skin and they're all things that will improve your overall health!
1. UV Sun Protection!! We'll have a whole month of blogs coming up about sun protection, but needless to say it is the SINGLE most
important thing you can do for your skin!
2. Quit Smoking
3. Eat a Balanced, Vitamin-rich Diet
4. Drink More Water
5. Get Enough Sleep
6. Exercise Regularly
In addition, you can incorporate a professional skincare regimen for maximum results.
Taking care of our skin is like taking care of a nice vehicle: Maintenance is required to prevent rusting and breakdowns! No matter what your gender, preventative care is important!
Did you know that we have several clients who happen to be men? It's an unfortunate stereotype that only women should take care of their skin! There are many men who are interested in having healthy looking skin and who take pride in their personal appearance. At Refine, we are particularly interested in helping men feel comfortable during their visit.
Our top 3 most popular services for men are:
1. BBL (Broad Band Light) for sun/age spots on the face and arms. BBL is also used to treat broken capillaries on the face.
2. Botox is often used for men wanting to erase the vertical lines between the brows.
3. Laser Hair Removal for the back, neck, and upper arm shoulder area.
