It’s happening. Invitations are already arriving, and summertime events seem to be landing on your event calendar. As you begin making plans, from travel arrangements to outfit selection, don’t forget about skincare. Now is the perfect time to start prepping your skin in time for summer celebrations.
Every six to eight weeks, our skin completely renews itself thanks to cellular turnover. A 90-day skincare plan stays in step with our skin’s natural cycles and allows adequate time for active skincare ingredients to help make structural skin changes that last.
Month 1: The Foundation (90 Days Out)
Starting a skincare program begins by laying a foundation with corrective treatments and doing a little heavy lifting. It’s the just the right time to begin laser resurfacing procedures for tightening the skin and improving overall texture. It helps lessen fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and acne scars. Laser resurfacing uses small rays of energy light to bore minuscule holes in the skin, which accelerates the body’s natural collagen production. While a MicroLaserPeel or ProFractional procedure result in minimal downtime, they sometimes require multiple sessions, which calls for a little more recovery time and advance planning.
Month 2: The Refinement (60 Days Out)
Two months ahead of your target date means you should begin procedures for collagen stimulation and texture. It allows enough time for a full cycle of skin renewal, potential recovery, and multiple sessions if needed. Both chemical peels and microneedling are smart choices. Chemical peels revitalize the skin by removing dead skin, and clearing out oil and debris trapped in the pores. Microneedling, which makes tiny perforations into the skin, encourages the production of collagen and elastin. Getting ahead of the game will ensure your skin will reach its full glow potential in time for the big day.
Month 3: The Polishing (30 Days Out)
It’s the homestretch of your skincare plan and time to take care of facial volume and animation lines. Consider neuromodulators such as Botox and Dysport, which treat dynamic wrinkles and offer long-lasting effects. The latter is best suited for larger areas like the forehead, while the former works well in more localized spots for issues such as crow’s feet.
Another option in this timeframe is a dermal filler. Dermal fillers offer fast and effective results for diminishing lines and wrinkles, featuring quick treatments that require no downtime.
Approximately a week out from your event you can receive a dermal-infusion. This facial procedure cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin in one swoop, while restoring a youthful glow.
