Skin Care Tips

• Always wear a moisturized sunscreen when outdoors, winter and summer. The sun's rays can burn you even if the air feels cool, and sunlight reflected off water or snow can be particularly powerful.

• No matter what your skin type is, use a protective sunscreen when you are in the sun; don't expose your skin for more than 15 minutes. Don't forget to use sunscreen on your face and the back of your hands because these are constantly exposed to the sun's rays.

• Always remove your makeup before going to bed.

• Rub moisturizing lotion on your legs before applying shaving cream for a smoother, softer finish when removing leg hair. Men who have normal to dry skin can also benefit from this technique.

• Use a humidifier to lessen the drying effects of indoor heat on your skin in the winter.

• Take baths in the evening to avoid exposing your skin immediately to outdoor air.

Benefits of a TCA Peel

One of the most common chemical peel is the trichloroacetic acid peel, also known as TCA peel. A TCA peel is a less aggressive peel with much less recovery time depending on the depth of the treatment. As the skin heals it becomes more youthful in appearance and produces new collagen. 

Here are the benefits of the TCA Peel:

• Helps eliminate fine wrinkles
• Evens the color on the skin
• Improves texture and freshness of the skin
• Improves a range of skin imperfections (i.e. Acne, ages spots, freckles, scars, sun damage, etc.)
• TCA peel can be used on the neck, hands, as well as the face.
