Our guest Patricia Damon is a graduate of the International Dermal Institute in California, the owner of Zanté Spa in Deer Valley Utah, and my personal esthetician.
In part two of our four-part Skincare Secrets series, we discuss the incorporating facials and cleansing into your regular skincare routine as we prepare for the launch of The Dr. Spa skincare line (click here to get on the VIP list and get priority access).
We also talk with Patricia about different treatments and natural ingredients for managing common skin conditions, including dehydration, acne, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, and rosacea.
Making Facials Part of Your Skincare RoutinePatricia recommends getting facials at the start of each season to combat problems associated with changing weather and environmental aggressors.
To address specific skin conditions, schedule a series of weekly treatments during the shoulder months (mid-season) when the weather is less variable. Some of the common issues that facials can help treat include:
Patricia recommends that you speak with your esthetician to come up with a custom treatment to cater to your specific skincare concerns and create a schedule that works well for you.
Remember, facials aren’t just for women; they work just as well on men!
Treating Common Skin Conditions1. Cleanse your skin in a two-step process:
2. Apply a toner. This will bring your skin back to a natural pH balance.
3. Apply a treatment serum to address any skincare concern you may have.
4. Apply a moisturizer. Patricia recommends a moisturizer with SPF in the morning, but not at night.
Air travel dehydrates the skin, so avoid peels and aggressive exfoliation before flying. Patricia recommends applying a hydrating mask while flying. If you’re not comfortable with that, mildly exfoliate your skin once you land and sleep in a hydrating mask that night.
You can infuse hydration into your skin while in flight using toners.
