The Benefits of Masking

How would you like to achieve that flawless, radiant glow we always seem to see on the faces of models and celebrities? Just by adding an extra 15 minutes once a week to your beauty regime, you can repair and revive your skin’s overall appearance dramatically.

Part of our secret to providing a beneficial facial here at our Orlando, Florida Plastic Surgery and Skincare Center is to incorporate a specialty mask with your treatment.

Masking can provide great benefits for any skin type. If you are concerned about oil/acne control, hydration, fine lines & wrinkles or stressed, irritated skin – combining a weekly mask with your customized skin care regime can help clear up these concerns.

OILY/ACNE PRONE SKIN TYPES
Look for a detoxifying, clay-based masks containing ingredients such as kaolin, sulfur, camphor, salicylic acid, tee tree oil, cucumber extract or aloe.  These key ingredients can help to refine enlarged pores, prevent and heal blemishes and absorb excess oils and impurities from deep within the pores.  Some masks, especially those containing sulfur, can be a great overnight blemish blaster as well.  Simply apply the mask to the blemish as a spot treatment and leave it on overnight.  In the morning, the redness and inflammation will have decreased and the blemish will have diminished significantly.

DEHYDRATION, FINE LINES & WRINKLES
 A cream or gel based mask can increase the moisture levels of your skin and help to temporarily firm and tighten your wrinkles.  Masks providing these benefits will be enriched with vitamins such as Vitamin A, C, E, pro-vitamin B5, peptides, grape seed extract or green tea extract to repair damaged skin.  For hydrated skin, be sure to look for ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, amino acids, honey or squalane as well.

ROSACEA & SENSITIVE SKIN TYPES
Masks infused with licorice, comfrey, lavender or chamomile extracts work wonders for calming redness and diminishing sensitivity. Azulene is also a key component when looking to comfort and soothe stressed & irritated skin.  This type of mask is usually available in a gel, cream or clay form.

In addition to these three common skin types, there are also many other masks that can address hyper-pigmentation, eye area concerns  and even full body mud masks.

Apply your favorite mask, sit back and relax for 15 minutes - even if this is the only time you have to yourself! Why not enhance your home care regimen and give your skin an effortless pick me up? By doing this once a week, you’ll soon be on your way to achieving that healthy glow that we all desire!

The Benefits of a Salicylic Peel

Do you only dream of having skin as clear as the faces that grace the cover of today’s beauty magazines? Most of us long for porcelain skin that others envy -  so we’ve asked our Paramedical Aesthetician, Amanda Chapman, for the scoop on achieving a radiant, blemish-free complexion…

According to Amanda, there are many effective treatments for treating acne, but one of the most effective solutions is a chemical peel.  Choosing the right peel for your skin type can be a little confusing, so it is always best to consult with a Paramedical Aesthetician to analyze your skin’s condition and prescribe the right peel for your specific skin type.

A Salicylic Peel is an excellent treatment to help clear up acne, rejuvenate the skin’s appearance and provide an overall healthy glow.  Salicylic is a Beta Hydroxy Acid that is synthetically made from willow tree bark.  Much like the more well known Alpha Hydroxy Acid, Glycolic- Salicylic Peels work by removing dead skin cells and allowing new, healthy cells to rise to the surface. 

If oily skin has always been a concern for you, a Salicylic Peel may be just the solution you are looking for. Salicylic is lipid soluble – meaning that it tends to interact best with other lipophilic substances like the oil and sebum in our skin. With a series of treatments,  excess sebum is cleared from the pores, and blackheads, whiteheads & acne lesions are improved - leaving your skin radiant and blemish free!

At Aesthetic Enhancements, we offer a full spectrum skin care services to treat every skin type. Amanda’s expertise coupled with our medical grade skin care products will have your skin looking flawless in no time! Call our Orlando, Florida Plastic Surgery, Skincare and Hair Restoration Center today to see how we can help you achieve the complexion you’ve always wanted. 407.218.4550.
