We've Got Your 2020 Skin Care Goals Covered!

/

It's crazy to think it wasn't long ago we were wondering if the world was going to end at the stroke of midnight Jan 1, 2000.   

And here we are 20 years later.   

20 years.   

How did that go by so damn fast?!   

As I sit here thinking of my goals for 2020, I can't help but think of what the next decade will look like. I know it will go fast — so I figure, it's not a bad idea to think of long term goals too.   

So far, I have come up with the following goals.   

Don't laugh.   

They are very simple, even obvious/borderline boring, but I like that. I want them to be attainable and serve as a constant reminder.   

So here goes:  

  • Eat better - more plant-based and less sugar (Have you watched "Game Changers"? Yikes!)

  • Workout more - minimum 3 days/week

  • Less screen time - I have an awful habit of checking my phone for the sake of checking it. 

  • Be more present - be fully involved in conversations and most importantly with my kids

  • Make more time for friends and family

  • Meditate 

  • Book in white space - setting aside time to sit and think about dreams, goals and how to reach them

  • Read a lot more! I think I read 2 books last year. :( 

  • Strive for a better work/life balance.

  • Stop multi-tasking - stay focused 

  • Age reverse - I will be 47 this month. I don't want to look it or feel it.   

What the heck is age reversing? It's exactly that: cheating your genetics, your sun-worshipping history, the nights you didn't wash your face before bed.   

Here is my age reversing plan — in case you're curious.

I started in December with an Intracel treatment. Intracel is micro-needling with radio frequency. Basically, the radio frequency causes micro damage beneath the skin, triggering a repair response, thereby stimulating collagen production to the entire area. This helps with lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, large pores, acne scars, and overall a beautiful resurfacing.

Next up on the age reversal train is a PRP aka Vampire facial. In the next week or two, I plan to have a PRP (Platelet-Rich-Plasma) treatment. This is where your own blood is drawn and placed in a centrifuge and spun. The blood separates the plasma - the golden liquid. This liquid gold is then reinjected (by needle for much better results), into the face, neck (even scalp for hair loss). The growth factors in the plasma help to rejuvenate the skin - again stimulating collagen and repair.

In February, I plan to do a Green Peel. Green Peels are also fantastic for collagen stimulation and skin resurfacing. The organic herbs used, remain in the skin for the next few hours (Fresh-Up), days (Energy) or even weeks (Classic) and continue to stimulate collagen and repair. 

"Choo choo", train still going…. I plan to do another Intracel treatment with PRP to follow in the spring and maintain with Microneedling throughout the Summer. 

I am also religious with my skin care routine, but more on that in my next blog post. I’ll also keep you up-to-speed on my results with these treatments, so stay tuned! Follow us on Facebook and Instagram and be sure to watch our stories for updates. I'm so excited!!

It’s important to note that everyone’s treatment plan is different. What works for me may not be right for you. It all depends on what your concerns are, what condition your skin is in and what your skin goals are.   

If you have skin care goals for 2020 - we are here to help! Our January promo just might be exactly what you need to get off to a great start towards having the best skin of your life! Ok, maybe since you were a teen? 25? 35?   

Well, let's just say we’re working towards the best skin possible! Remember: your face is your number one accessory - take GREAT care of it! (Don't forget to use your daily SPF no matter what the weather is).  

Please share your skin care goals with us. We'd love to hear about them and see if we can help.   

Cheers to a wonderful, 2020.
