3 Tips for Spring Skincare

As we anticipate the rapidly approaching spring weather, it’s important to say goodbye to by starting with the most important place: our skin. With all the recent heavy rains adding to the already dreary winter weather, it’s no surprise that our skin is the first to be affected.

Don’t fret, however! With the new season comes the opportunity to begin a brand new, spring-inspired skin routine. Not sure where to start? Get ready to step into springtime by waking up your skin with these 3 steps.

1. Start The Season With A Scrub

Rain and snow and sludge, oh my! Winter weather has all the perfect conditions to clog your skin and allow dead skin to build up. All of this can hide your skin’s natural shine – giving it a dull and aged appearance. Kick off your spring skincare with an exfoliating scrub. During the winter, exfoliating can strip your skin of the little moisture it has, adding to that inflamed and blotchy appearance. Come spring, however, an exfoliating scrub a few times a week can be just what your skin needs. Try buying a gentle scrub, or even making your own!

2. Less Is More

With spring comes much appreciated warm weather. As the temperatures quickly reach the upper digits, you’ll be trading your winter coats and rainboots for sandals and t-shirts. Treat your skincare routine the same way! Sure, those heavy foundations and balms are great for dry and cracked winter skin, but they can weigh you down in heavy weather.
Instead of using heavy moisturizers and makeup, try switching to lightweight foundations and more natural makeup – your skin will thank you! This doesn’t mean you have to give up bold lips and eyes forever, though. Save those looks for the evening when the air is cooler and less humid. To cut down on products, try switching to a tinted moisturizer with SPF. This will allow you to get your moisturizer, UV protectant, and foundation in one product instead of three.

3. Spring Cleaning

Spring cleaning goes further than dusting and scrubbing the floors, and a good cleaning can help your skin through this tough transition. Clean your pillowcases, wash your makeup brushes – everything that comes into contact with your face. If winter was bad about clogging your skin with the weather, spring – with its pollen and other allergens – can be detrimental. By cleaning your tools and fabrics often, you’ll help prevent breakouts and clogged pores. Healthy, clean skin amplifies your natural glow – helping you to appear like the springtime goddess you are.

Final Thoughts

With Spring on its way, it’s time to change up your skin care routine to match. These at-home tips will go a long way in helping your skin remain happy and healthy. Don’t forget to treat yourself to a professional spring cleaning as well! Give us a call today here at Laura Skin Care in Petaluma, CA.

Building A Skin Care Routine

Having fantastic skin isn’t just about getting lucky with your genetics, it also comes from having a great skincare routine. Your morning and evening routines play a huge role in ensuring the health and beauty of your skin. In this article, we are going to discuss the three core steps that should always be included in your skincare routine.

The main goal of any skin-care routine is to keep your skin at its best and treat any type of blemishes that may crop up. The three core parts of your daily routine should include:

  • Cleaning
  • Toning
  • Moisturizing

Cleaning

Every day cleaning will help to freshen your pores by removing unnecessary oils and any microscopic debris that may be plugging your skin. This part of your skin-care routine doesn’t have to be extreme, in fact, daily in-depth exfoliation may prove more harmful than helpful. So instead choose a gentle cleaner for everyday use, and an exfoliator type cleanser for once to twice per week use. Your skin will thank you! After you’re done cleaning and rinsing with lukewarm water, be sure to give one final rinse with cold water to close up your pores and keep your skin feeling fantastic.

Toning

The overall goal of any skin-care routine is to keep your skin healthy and your complexion clear. These two factors will keep your skin looking their best while additionally allowing you to take a closer look at problem areas. Use of a good toner will remove any remaining bits of oil, dirt, and debris that may have been left behind by the cleanser. More importantly, the toner will help soothe, nourish and hydrate your skin, all while restoring its delicate pH balance.

Moisturizing

While some toners provide hydration to your skin, they won’t necessarily provide it with adequate moisture. What’s the difference you ask? Both moisturizers and hydrators server a similar purpose, however, it’s their methods that differ. Hydrators ensure your skin has the necessary water content within your skin, allowing it to be plump and bouncy. Moisturizers, on the other hand, work to keep the water within your skin where it belongs while softening and keeping dry skin smooth to the touch.

Final thoughts

With appropriate products that fit your skincare needs, your at home beauty routine will have your skin feeling fresh, young, and beautiful. If you’re unsure if your skin is dry or dehydrated, be sure to make an appointment with us right here at Laura Skin Care, where we will assess your skin type and guide you to the perfect products to optimize your skin care routine.

5 Reasons To Get A Facial Today

Treating yourself and your skin to a facial isn’t just about pampering yourself, it’s about tending to your overall health and beauty too! While you may have an at-home skin care routine, the numerous benefits of receiving a professional facial are immense, and in this article, we are going to review 5 reasons as to why you should schedule a facial today.

Facials Provide Stress Relief

Even if your daily routine has left you with flawless skin, a facial is an excellent way for you to de-stress. Studies have shown that there are hundreds of pressure points in your face alone which are connected to multiple systems throughout your body. As these pressure points are massaged, your body responds. This leaves your face glowing and your body relaxed.

Facials Promote Circulation And Regeneration

Massages in general greatly help circulation. When it comes to the health of your skin and anti-aging properties good blood circulation is key as this translates to your skin gaining all the necessary oxygen and nutrients that are carried throughout your body. Along with increased circulation, a facial encourages cell regeneration and the development of collagen, equating to anti-aging, glowing features.

Facials Detoxify And Rejuvenate

With age and exposure to pollution, your skin not only loses its natural luster but absorbs toxins as well. Everyday skincare routines are not enough for the needed deep cleanings that your face needs for toxin removal. Facialists know and understand your skin type, along with the best treatments for rejuvenating your skin back to its fresh and radiant nature, while removing the blemish-causing toxins.

Facials Provide A Deep-Clean

Your skin needs the occasional deep cleaning for multiple benefits. Aside from detoxifying and rejuvenating, your skin will receive a thorough cleaning that will open pores, treat acne and acne marks while eliminating whiteheads and blackheads without causing any harm to your skin.

Facials Give The Best Exfoliation

During exfoliation, all the dry and rough dead skin cells that have absorbed toxins and UV rays are gently removed from the surface of your skin, allowing you to enjoy smooth and luscious features. While it is possible to exfoliate at home, it won’t be the same as a professionally performed exfoliation.

Facials Make Fantastic Gift Ideas

Anybody can get a facial regardless of gender or skincare routine. If you have a loved one who you know is in dire need of a relaxing mini vacation, schedule them the luxurious gift of a facial today! With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, it’s time to think ahead! Facials also make a great gift for birthdays, anniversaries, or just because.
