Are You Treating More Than Just Your Face?

Taking care of the skin on the face is essential, but do you cleanse and moisturize the rest of your body?

Taking care of the skin on the face is essential, and facial treatments help. But do you cleanse and moisturize the rest of your body?

Many skin conditions, such as acne and hyper pigmentation, are located on different places of the body and can benefit from your facial products. Cellular turnover is much slower on the body than the face which allows the build-up of dead skin cells to cause dryness and irritation. If you experience dryness, skin laxity, rough, dull or acne prone skin on the body, schedule a skin analysis with an esthetician for treatment and product recommendations.

Just remember that the neck, décolleté and hands tell your true age, so be sure to extend your facial routine to the rest of your body. After all, the skin is your largest organ and we need to protect it just as we do our heart, lungs, liver, etc.
