Do you see signs of aging on your face? Do you have more wrinkles , fine lines and discolorations than 10-15 years ago? Most of us do not like the idea of showing our age and many of us are busy seeking solutions to not only prevent further skin aging, but to address past damage as well. Some studies say we prioritize beauty treatments in times of economic turmoil. Business results show prove this point-especially in America where we still spend to look good. Beauty spending increased 26.5% from Q3 to Q4 one year ago. Now, with clinical evidenced based products with pharmaceutical grade ingredients, many of us can get professional results at home for improved beautiful skin, completion improvements and correction of skin problems .

Symptoms of skin aging include discoloration, dark circles, fine lines and wrinkles, decreased elasticity. Skin types and skin conditions affect what products will work to transform our skin condition and protect it from damage of UV light and pollution. Products that may be used to improve facial appearance and skin condition include: antioxidants, corrective creams, exfoliants, masques, toners, sunscreens, serums, eye and lip care, cleansers and moisturizers.

For expertise in this segment, we have sourced our expert from a beauty expert, licensed skin care therapist and self-proclaimed beauty junkie, Gregorie Guillaume,

Summer Skin Problems: Sunburn to Skin Cancer

Intense sunlight, humidity, poisonous plants and biting insects can add up to no fun in the summer sun and problems with our skin. Summertime means more time outdoors, but preparing for the sun with greater thought and planning is worth the prevention to make this outdoor time of year more pleasant. The lack of preventive efforts can allow ultraviolet (UV) rays with sun exposure to leave us with skin problems: sagging, wrinkles, burns rashes and  uneven pigmentation.

Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States. Approximately 1:5 Americans will have it in their lifetime and it is 99% treatable if found early. It’s important we are aware of heat rash, bug bites, rosacea flare ups, increased acne, excessive sweating and sun exposure considering they are the leading contributors to skin cancer.  These health concerns are greater during the summer.

There are many preventive measures and treatments that can help our skin health blossom during the summer time when lifestyles are more focused on the outdoors. In this segment, Dr. Ashley Curtis will discuss prevention, products, some new technologies such as MiraDry and the latest in lasers to help prepare and keep your skin in the best shape.

Posted on

Podcast: Download

Summer time is “prime time” for skin care, for seeing and being seen!  We closely identify who we are with our faces. Taking care of our face and how we present ourselves in the world through our face is the topic of many discussions and actions.  From skin care at any age that can improve our appearance to facelifts that appear to  “peel” back the clock, this radio segment will focus on the skin care and appearance improvements that are possible for the face.

Licensed aesthetician Kim Bogash provides tips for a health glow, summer skin care and some noninvasive techniques to freshen the face. Nationally recognized Plastic Surgeon John Connors walks listeners through traditional and new techniques to improve facial appearance – from fillers to facelifts.  The first facelift was performed in 1901 in Europe and the procedure shows no sign of slowing down.

Facelifts remain one of the top 5 cosmetic surgical procedures in the US, growing over 5% per year. Half of the recipients are in the 40-55 yr age group and almost 90% are female, although the number of men pursuing this procedure is growing as well.  Topics covered in this segment  will include skin care, minimally invasive improvements available, facelift myths, new procedures and techniques, and recovery post procedure.
