Head to Toe Glow: IV Therapy, Vampire Facial & Tips
Summer is the season to show off your radiant skin, soak up the sun, and enjoy the great outdoors. However, the same elements that make summer wonderful can also pose challenges to maintaining healthy, glowing skin. Before you enjoy the (hopefully) beautiful Vancouver weather, let’s take a look at how to achieve glowing skin with advanced treatments and mindful skincare practices, while also highlighting common pitfalls to avoid.
Achieving Glowing Summer Skin
IV Vitamin Therapy: Anti-Aging & Skin Bright
Skincare fads come and go, but some treatments stand the test of time. For hundreds of years, IV therapy has been used in hospitals to restore the body quickly and effectively. Now, this powerful tool is available beyond the hospital setting. Anti-Aging + Skin Bright IV Therapy is an advanced approach to skincare, delivering a potent blend of vitamins and minerals directly into your bloodstream for maximum absorption.
This personalized nutrient delivery addresses common skin concerns such as dullness, uneven skin tone, and signs of aging. With direct delivery into your bloodstream, the nutrients work quickly, resulting in noticeably brighter and more hydrated skin. Additionally, this therapy helps detoxify your body, promoting clearer and healthier skin. It's an all-in-one solution for various skin issues, making it ideal for achieving a summer glow.
Evangeline PRF: The Vampire Facial
You’ve heard about PRP and fillers, but what happens when you combine them? Enter Evangeline PRF, the Vampire Facial that’s taking skincare to the next level. This innovative treatment uses your own blood to rejuvenate your skin, blending Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) with the instant effects of fillers.
By stimulating growth factors, PRF promotes long-term skin health and a natural glow. The best part? Using your own PRF reduces risks like rejection or allergic reactions, making Evangeline a safe and natural choice for radiant summer skin.
At-Home Skincare: Maintaining Your Glow
Maintaining a radiant glow doesn't always require cosmetic treatments or high-end products. Some of the most effective skincare remedies can be found right in your kitchen or through simple additions to your daily routine.
Bone Broth: Bone broth has become a buzzword in the wellness world, and for good reason. Made by simmering animal bones, it’s rich in collagen and minerals that improve skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, and retain moisture. It also reduces inflammation and promotes healing, aiding conditions like acne.
Matcha Green Tea: Matcha is not just a refreshing beverage; it’s packed with antioxidants that are great for your skin. This finely ground green tea powder is especially rich in EGCG, which benefits skin health by reducing inflammation, soothing irritated skin, and protecting against UV damage. Drinking matcha daily improves skin tone and texture.
The Triad - Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, and Retinol: Who says skincare has to be complicated? The combination of Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and retinol offers a simple yet effective routine. Vitamin C brightens skin and boosts collagen, hyaluronic acid hydrates and plumps, and retinol promotes cell turnover and reduces wrinkles. This trio addresses multiple skin concerns effectively, making it easier to maintain a healthy, glowing complexion with minimal effort.
While advanced treatments and quality products are important for achieving glowing skin, it's equally important to be aware of common mistakes that can sabotage your efforts. Here are some pitfalls to avoid this summer to ensure your skin stays healthy and glowing.
Common Summer Skincare Mistakes
Skipping Sunscreen
One of the most significant mistakes you can make is skipping sunscreen. UV rays can cause premature aging, sunburn, and increase the risk of skin cancer. Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF of at least 30 and reapply every two hours when you’re outside to protect your skin from harmful UV damage. And don’t forget your lips! Lips are often overlooked when applying sunscreen, but they are just as susceptible to UV damage as the rest of your face.
Not Using Medical-Grade Skincare Products
Relying solely on over-the-counter skincare products can be a mistake. Medical-grade skincare products are formulated with higher concentrations of active ingredients, providing more effective results. They are often backed by clinical research and recommended by skincare professionals to address specific skin concerns, ensuring your skin gets the best care possible.
"Consistently using medical-grade skincare can save you time and money in the long run. It's far more cost-effective to maintain healthy skin than to repair damaged skin later." - Dr. Godley
Neglecting After-Sun Care
After spending time in the sun, your skin needs extra care. Neglecting after-sun care can lead to prolonged damage and irritation. Use soothing products like aloe vera and moisturizers to help your skin recover and stay healthy. At the end of the summer season, consider getting a Hydrafacial or chemical peel to gently exfoliate the uppermost layer of skin. These treatments help remove sun-damaged skin, revealing a fresh, healthy complexion underneath.
