Skin Moment Esthetics - Pleasanton, CA

Is your skin not as radiant as it used to be? There are seven possible reasons for this:

1. Dryness - Cold, dry weather and using hot water can dry your skin out.
2. Dehydration - Your skin becomes dehydrated from not drinking enough water or from having a weak skin barrier that doesn’t retain moisture.
3. Dead Skin Buildup — Acne and other conditions can cause dead skin to build up and block the healthy-looking skin underneath.
4. Pollution - Exposure to impurities can cause free radicals or unstable molecules to damage the DNA in your skin.
5. Lack of Sleep - Poor sleep can lower your skin’s moisture and pH levels, resulting in a dull complexion.
6. Stress - Chronic stress releases cortisol in your body, which can break down collagen and elastin, and slow cell turnover.
7. Aging - Your skin naturally produces less collagen and new skin cells as your get older.
The good news is you can revive dull-looking skin using the right skincare products. Stay tuned for tips on how to brighten lackluster skin.

The #1 way to improve your skin health without having to get a treatment or use a product. Get a good night’s sleep. 💤
It’s true! Beauty sleep is a real thing. When you sleep well, your skin has the energy it needs to repair itself.✨
Researchers from University Hospitals Case Medical Center studied how sleep affects skin health and found that:
• People who consistently get a good night’s sleep have 30% more skin recovery than those who don’t
• Sleep-deprived people take longer to heal from cuts, sunburns and inflammation In short, the better you sleep, the healthier your skin will be.
Here are tips to help you get more beauty sleep:

• Plan for 7 – 9 hours of sleep. Calculate how long it takes to do your bedtime routine then add 15 – 20 min to fall asleep
• Go to bed and get up at the same time every day
• Have a set bedtime routine to tell your brain it is time to wind down
• Eat an early dinner
• Eat meals at the same time each day
• No liquids two hours before bed so you don’t have to get up to urinate
• No caffeine after midday
• No sweets after 7 p.m.
• Adjust your bedroom temperature to 62 – 68 degrees F. Extreme temperatures can disrupt your sleep.
• Stop using electronics two hours before going to bed. Blue light can prevent your brain from releasing melatonin to make you sleepy.
• Take an aromatherapy-infused bath to relax your muscles💕

Whether you’re well-versed or brand new to the world of chemical peels, you know that they can be intensive skin treatments that require additional attention and care afterward. Here are my best post- treatment tips for ensuring your skin heals beautifully and you get your best results:

- Use a gentle cleanser with no actives, using cool water
- Keep the skin evenly moisturized (you may need to reapply throughout the day and switch to a
heavier moisturizer)
- Avoid all sun exposure and reapply sunscreen throughout the day
- Do not pick at flaking or peeling skin
- Do not use physical exfoliation
- Drink lots of water!

- Refrain from any kind of waxing
Practice these steps for 7-10 days after your peel, or until the skin is fully healed. And most importantly, follow any advice that your skincare professional gives you before, during, and after the treatment!

Now that we’re well into chemical peel season, I want to share my top three reasons why everyone should try a chemical peel at least once!

1. Reduce Wrinkles and Fine Lines – Chemical peels stimulate new collagen growth while shedding old layers of skin. Once the skin is fully healed, this new layer will appear smoother and younger!
2. Treat Acne - Chemical peels are essentially a super-exfoliant. The formula will rid the skin's surface of dead skin cells and unclog pores to treat active acne breakouts and reduce future breakouts.

3. Improve Hyperpigmentation – A peel can reduce the appearance of dark spots by removing unwanted melanin from the surface of the skin. When new skin forms it can appear more evenly pigmented and less spotty.

Summer is almost over, but sun ☀️damage can linger under the skin long after the weather turns colder. Here are a few ingredients you can use to minimize and treat sun damage in your at-home routine!
⭐️Niacinamide – treats hyperpigmentation, builds keratin, rebuilds healthy skin cells, and minimizes fine lines and wrinkles.
⭐️Vitamin C – Fights oxidative stress which will slow the aging process and protect the skin from further environmental aggressors.
⭐️Retinol – Retinol works on sun damage by encouraging cell turnover and increasing collagen production to set damaged skin cells on a healthier course.
⭐️Glycolic Acid – Regulates and encourages the skin's natural exfoliation process to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, texture, fine lines, and wrinkles.
⭐️Tyrosinase Inhibitors – communicate with the melanocyte cell (the cell that creates and overproduces pigment) to keep skin even and clear of dark spots.

Graceful Aging
When Should I Add Anti-Aging Products to My Routine?

Facial massage, which is a part of any quality facial, has many benefits. The first is that it promotes relaxation — something we all desperately need. 🤍 Many of us live in a constant state of chaos and stress, and taking time, even just an hour a month, for a facial can provide you with the space you need to decompress and breathe.

This isn't just good for your sanity, it's good for your whole body — lowering your blood pressure, reducing stress hormone levels and relieving tension all over. Taking time for yourself isn't selfish - it allows you to be your best self for the people you love.

Facial massage also promotes lymphatic drainage, which works to remove toxins and reduce fluid retention in the skin. If you experience puffiness in your skin due to diet, stress, or dehydration — facial massage can help reduce that puffiness and make you look and feel rejuvenated and refreshed.

🤍Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation that removes the
dead skin cells which can leave skin looking dull. Reveal
younger, softer, glowing skin with our Dermaplaning facial.
Perfect before a special event or any time you want to
look your best. You'll enjoy improvements in your skin's
health and appearance right away with no downtime.

Why you should buy your skin care through an esthetician.🤔
❓Are you buying your skincare through your esthetician?
Notice how you can buy certain brands through your skincare professional that you can't seem to find anywhere else? Professional products are just that – professional! ‼️Only distributed to and through licensed skincare professionals.
So why should you buy your skincare through an esthetician? Here are just a few of the benefits:
• Better quality ingredients
• A higher percentage of active ingredients
• Professional recommendations based on your skin needs and goals
• Tips for maximizing your skincare routine
• Home care products that extend the results of your treatments

Hyaluronic acid – you've seen it everywhere. It seems like this ingredient has taken the skincare world by storm in just the last few years, but what's so great about it? Keep reading to find out!
In short, hyaluronic acid regulates water content in the skin, distributes nutrients to cells, and works to support elasticity. This ingredient is healing and hydrating, creating supple skin with fewer fine lines and wrinkles.

Why choose Professional Skincare?

If a product is developed for and sold directly to consumers, the marketing tends to be flashy – cosmetic ads in glossy magazines and commercials on television where celebrities with glowing skin smile. But think about the focus and the costs involved in that advertising. The companies hope you will believe your skin will resemble the celebrity’s skin and you can be sure the costs of those endorsements are passed directly on to you.

✅Other products, however, are developed for and sold primarily through skincare professional partners, such as Dermatologists and Estheticians.

🌿Mass market brands are produced in very large batches and lack active ingredients, at least at a concentration to actually have an effect on the skin. Most manufacturers add preservatives to ensure long shelf life. Where it would have a therapeutic benefit, many over-the-counter products are not even formulated to pe*****te the skin barrier. Furthermore, because many consumers self-diagnose when skin care shopping, these products must have a lower risk of irritation to protect the consumer in the event they are choosing the wrong product for their skin. This is achieved by adding less active ingredients and more filler, thereby lessening results for the buyer.

Happy Mother’s Day 💗
