DO YOU TREAT YOUR BOTOX?
Botox is everywhere these days, and is being used for more than just skin care. Botox is being used to treat several medical conditions and even some pain relief treatments.
People are starting to get Botox injections younger and younger, with the idea that if we limit the amount the muscles are moving early one, we will prevent the wrinkles from forming. Botox will improve our appearance by relaxing and smoothing out the muscles. BUT, What are we doing to TREAT and NOURISH the skin, and ensure that we are delivering vital nutrients such as Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Biotin, Zinc, and Omega 3's to name just a few?
Botox may smooth out the lines but it doesn't protect the skin, it doesn't treat the skin and it doesn't provide nutrients to the skin.
Here is what we recommend as the most essential nutrients for your optimal skin health.
VITAMIN C
Vitamin C is absolutely essential in the skin's production of collagen. To prevent the sagging of the skin and to retain the skin's elasticity, everyone should be using a Vitamin C serum.
Dermalogica Biolumin-C Serum uses an ultra stable form of Vitamin C which fights to prevent the skin sag before it even starts!
Dermalogica Biolumin-C Gel Moisturizer not only produces the same great benefits with the stable Vitamin C but also hosts 4 different types of Hyaluronic Acid's delivering intense moisture to your skin.
HYALURONIC ACID
Hyaluronic Acid is a powerhouse in any skincare product as it carries 1,000x its weight in water, delivering a mass increase of hydration to your skin. It aids in the skin flex and reduces skin's wrinkles and lines.
Dermalogica Circular Hydration Serum with Hyaluronic Acid deeply hydrates the skin for up to 10 hours! This long-lasting serum immediately floods skin with hydration, replenishes from within, and helps prevent future hydration evaporation.
CERAMIDES
Ceramides are fats or lipids that are found in our skin cells and are important for retaining your skin's moisture.
Dermalogica Stabilizing Repair Cream provides nourishing lipids, strengthening skin’s barrier to lock in moisture and help keep signs of sensitivity at bay. This product has also been given the Seal of Acceptance from the National Eczema Association making it excellent for those sensitive or reactive skin types, or to use after clinical facial treatments.
PEPTIDES
Peptides are essential amino acids, necessary in your skincare regime to assist the formation of essential proteins like Collagen and Elastin.
Dermalogica Awaken Peptide Eye Gel energizes the eye area and reduces the appearance of puffiness and fine lines, proven to help you look more rested in just 10 minutes!
Why invest in Botox if you are not investing in your body's largest organ? We aren't saying don't do it, but if you are going to invest in Botox multiple times per year, you are doing a disservice NOT investing in your skin care regime. Choose quality products and read the labels to provide the essential nutrients your skin needs to grow future strong healthy, plump skin cells!
