Just as you were getting ready for the day, splashing fresh water in your face, a more intentional glance in the mirror shows up all the brand new (and most unwelcomed) imperfections on your skin. Oh no. When did that happen? Before throwing away your magnifying mirror or hiding behind the largest shades you can buy, check out StudioMD’s arsenal to make your skin smooth once again!
Because real life has no filters available, but we got you covered anyway. Literally covered in this case, with only the best in skincare and skin treatments.
To really see improvements with your skin, you need to use products targeted for different skin issues. Understanding the causes of rough skin is crucial to choosing the components of our skin-care regimen and the benefits you can expect in the long run. But some key-players you should always recruit to battle. They are Oils, Serums, Balms, and Moisturizers.
Moisturizer, for hydration
It sits on the top surface of the skin, your epidermis. This is the layer of our skin that protects us from the outer world. So, it will not only hydrate but also aid in protecting your skin from toxins and all that other stuff you want to keep out of your pores. Moisturizers can seal in the previous products you’ve applied and allow them to work more effectively. StudioMD Hydrating Field perfectly combines these two aspects and comes with FPS 45, because everybody needs sunscreen.
Balm, for protection
Balms can act similar to moisturizers in protecting the skin, but they differ in formulation, water presence, and texture (usually solid). Balms are very concentrated and tend to last longer. They are the ideal product for the winter months as they form an effective barrier against the harsh cold winds. Similarly, they protect the skin against sun damage and heal sunburns in summer. StudioMD’s The Balm Rescue is also a must-have product repair for sensitive skin that just had procedures and requires some extra love.
Oil, for the glow
Oils aim to bring brightness and nourishment to your skin. They can give your face that coveted radiance with only a couple of drops. Their composition is essential fatty acids and vitamins that feed your complexion with nutrients. They can be mixed with moisturizers or balms, softening the skin and relieving unwanted flakiness. And no one needs to shy away: StudioMD Skin Balancing Blemish Oil is indicated for even the most sensitive skin.
Serum, for far-reaching
Serums have a great role in recovering moisture loss, acting to improve the skin’s barrier function. They penetrate the dermal layer of your skin, which starts under the epidermis (visible layer). This is where all the magic happens: our oil glands, hair follicles, collagen, and elastin fibers, all form in the dermal layer. With that assignment insight, StudioMD’s Super Dewy Serum has a light and absorbent texture, and can even act as a moisturizer if you have oily skin.
Microneedling, for regeneration
If keeping your skincare routine has been an uphill battle you can always go for a front-attack like Microneedling Therapy. Microneedling works to diminish the appearance of acne scars, wrinkles, and even some stretch marks. It is a type of fractional treatment, in which really thin needles in a pen-like device rotate over the skin to reach the epidermis and deeper dermis. The goal is to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture, but it can also minimize pore size. Our sessions last less than 30min. It’s a winning game.
Hydrafacil, for cleansing
Another great ally in intensive maneuvers is Hydrafacil or High-tech Facial. Bringing the big guns to skincare, it is a facial that uses a machine to do all the grunt work, utilizing a vortex-fusion delivery system. Hydra facial combines deep cleansing with intense moisturizing. Lock and load to leave your skin softer, it also helps with any hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles. If you are a rookie, fear not, it is a completely painless and quite relaxing campaign.
