Skincare Hacks
Skincare is more than just a routine; it’s how you practice self-care and make yourself feel good. In our busy lives, finding quick and effective skincare methods is essential. Whether you’re dealing with sun damage, skin breakouts, or early signs of aging, skincare hacks can be a game changer. Jessica, PA-C, has just the tips for you! Explore these skincare hacks and see how small changes can make a big difference in your daily routine and make things easier.
Double Cleansing 101
What is double cleansing?
You may have seen the double-cleansing trend on social media. Jessica, PA-C, shares why it’s a great habit to add to your routine. A gentle cleanser is the best choice for most skin types, but on its own, it may not be enough to remove makeup and excess dirt, pollutants, and oil that your skin may be exposed to during the day. By double cleansing, you can ensure you are removing all of these impurities while still treating your skin with gentle products.
How do I double cleanse?
Jessica, PA-C, recommends starting with an oil-based cleanser or micellar water. Your second cleanser will vary depending on your skin type. For example, if you have more oily skin, Jessica, PA-C, recommends a foaming cleanser, and if you have dryer skin, she suggests trying a cream or water-based cleanser. If you aren’t sure what skin type you are or which cleanser will be best for your skin, take our cleanser quiz! If you want a deeper dive into the right products for your skin, schedule a consultation with one of our providers.
Sunscreen Application Made Easy
Are you someone who dreads putting on your sunscreen? Jessica, PA-C, understands your pain and has just the tip for making daily sunscreen application more enjoyable. As we know, wearing sunscreen daily is one of the best ways to prevent premature aging. Jessica loves using a foundation brush instead of her hand to make sunscreen application easier. Her favorite sunscreen to pair with this tip is ColoreScience Glow! She puts the sunscreen on the brush and then applies it to her face for a smooth, even application. ColoreScience Glow, or any tinted facial sunscreen, is the perfect lightweight substitute for traditional foundation makeup with the added benefit of extra sun protection!
Prevent Wrinkles As You Sleep
Could the way you sleep be causing your wrinkles?
Can the way you sleep cause wrinkles? Jessica, PA-C, shares her insights on this trending topic and why the way you sleep could be causing those pesky vertical lines on your face. If you commonly sleep on your stomach or side, you may be more prone to these wrinkles. Sleeping this way squishes your face, creating vertical wrinkles over time.
How to prevent wrinkles when sleeping:
Jessica, PA-C, encourages you to sleep on your back instead of your side or stomach. She recommends this because it prevents your face from being compressed by the pillow and, in turn, helps prevent the vertical lines from appearing on your face. If you have difficulty sleeping on your back, Jessica, PA-C, suggests using a trainer pillow. These specialty pillows will help you learn how to sleep comfortably on your back over time. Another option is wearing silicone patches to sleep to help minimize creases. Jessica, PA-C’s favorite silicone patches are Frownies, Sio, and Wrinkles Schmickles.
Sun Protection From Within
Did you know there are other ways to protect your skin from the sun beyond sunscreen? Everyone has that fear of missing a spot when applying sunscreen. Adding Sun ISDIN as a supplement will help neutralize the free radical damage from the sun and boost your protection. However, it is essential to note that it is not a substitute for sunscreen! Sun ISDIN is a great supplement or a layer of protection in addition to still applying your daily sunscreen.
Vitamins for Improved Skin Cancer Prevention
You may be someone who has had multiple skin cancers, or you may know someone who is commonly treated with skin cancers every time they visit the dermatologist. Jessica, PA-C, understands your struggles and has a safe and effective way to help reduce your risks. Consider adding a simple B vitamin into your routine, which can help. When this is taken twice a day, vitamin B3, also known as niacinamide, has been shown in multiple studies to decrease the risk of skin cancers. Check with your doctor and get approval before adding vitamin B3 to your routine. This supplement is very well tolerated for most patients with minimal to no side effects.
