December 21, 2022Skin care, Skincarefeatured, moisturize, skin care, skincareadmin

Going into dry, heated buildings and then out into the dry cold weather in the Winter robs your skin of moisture, and makes you look older.

No one wants to look older than they are, so why let Winter do a number on your skin?

Serenity Suite NYC Winter Skin Care Tips:

Our licensed professional esthetician, Jennifer recommends that you moisturize at least twice per day. Here’s a quick AM and PM regimen:

1.)   Cleanse
2.)   Fortify with Ritual Skin Care Hydrate / Firming Mist
3.)   Nourish with Ritual Firming Serum
4.)   Moisturize with Ritual Healing Moisturizer Cream will help restore your skin’s barrier function and moisture content.

While it is important to wash your face at least twice each day, it’s also important to avoid harsh foaming cleansers with sulfates. That tight, squeaky clean feeling means that Sodium Laureth Sulfate has striped your skin of much needed natural oils – this means that the pH of your skin is off balance now and left too high.

Safely cleanse the environmental pollution from your skin by using Ritual Balancing Cleanser. This natural foaming cleanser occurs with cocoglucoside – not detergents! Natural ingredients in Ritual Balancing Cleanser like Activated charcoal which acts like a magnet and attracts debris from pores, and Willow bark which is the natural state of salicylic acid and safely breaks down oxidized oil – will leave your skin safely cleaned and balanced.

And you will be happy to know that Ritual products do not contain artificial fragrances, because most artificial fragrances are well known to also be a source of skin irritation.

An appointment with Jennifer begins with a personal skin analysis to assure your Winter Skin Care tips will give you the best results.

Summer Skin Care

Summer sunshine often reminds us the importance of wearing a sunscreen.

Actually, it’s better to apply a sunscreen with an SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of at least 30 every time you go outside, year around.

When you walk outside, whether it’s sunny or overcast, the sun is still sharing

UVA (Ultra Violet A) rays which can prematurely damage your skin, adding wrinkles and age spots
UVB (Ultra Violet B) rays which can cause sunburn

And even when you are inside, those UVA rays from the sun can still penetrate window glass to prematurely age your skin.

But there are a lot of different sunscreens on the market, and it seems like new ones appear in stores every year. Which one is right to protect you and your skin for summer skin care and all year around?

That’s when it makes sense to make an appointment with Jennifer Fond, our dedicated, licensed esthetician, specializing in treatment of the skin, and who has helped many women and men to solve or improve the condition of their skin.
