Have You Burned Bridges With Your Skin Care?

Avoid the burn this summer by establishing a summer skin care regimen! The summer just started so take advantage of it while you can; good skin health to take you through the entire summer is right here at Elizabeth Grady. Your DO’S and DON’TS under the sun…

 

DO’S

DO make sure to wear sunscreen – with a recommended minimum SPF of 15 or 30. This should be applied at least 15-30 minutes before you enjoy the sun. Try the Elizabeth Grady sunscreen, and make sure to apply on the lips, eye area, ears, and neck as well!

DO have a facial at least once a month. This will make sure you get rid of excess dirt, oils and impurities that build up during summer months. Also, this will help prevent breakouts!

DO wear your favorite hat! Long visors or rims will help block the rays to prevent burning on your face and eye area. Pair the hat with some sunglasses and you’re good to go. Not only do the sunglasses protect your eyes, but it will keep you from squinting! (This being a major contributor to those lines around the eyes, we want to prevent those too!)

DO moisturize your body and face before and after sun exposure. Being exposed to the sun takes a toll on the natural moisture in your skin, so replenish with moisturizer – and water as well…drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration the sun may cause. Our suggestion: Elizabeth Grady’s Microcare Replenish.

DO avoid the sun during its strongest rays. Between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.: enjoy the shade.

 

DON’TS

DON’T stop using your sunscreen once you get that tan! You still need the coverage regardless.

DON’T expect all parts of your body to tan equally. Some of the more delicate body parts may need extra time to catch up to speed – less clothing means more exposure!

DON’T overdo your time in the sun. Sun exposure accelerates the skin’s aging process and increases your risk of skin cancer.

DON’T underestimate the importance of regular facial treatments and a proper skin care routine to maintain healthy, smooth, younger-looking skin.

At Elizabeth Grady, all of our make-up is non-comedogenic (non-clogging) and provides broad-spectrum protection from both UVA and UVB rays that contribute to premature aging of the skin. You can find an SPF in all of our make-up so you’re ready for the sun at any time. 

Get beach ready with Elizabeth Grady this summer and toss some SPF in that beach bag!

Exercise That Skin Care!

                                                         

We’ve all been hibernating due to the weather we most recently survived through. Now with the sun shining there is spring cleaning and outdoor activities! You might be taking care of those errands…but are you taking proper care of your skin?

We all know daily exercise is the best way to stay in shape. It rids your body of impurities and helps prevent disease and ageing. But if you don’t properly clean your skin before and after you exercise, you may be fighting a battle against yourself. Always use a good cleanser, toner and moisturizer prior to and following any physical activities.

Face it: a good moisturizer is your protection against dehydration. Depending on the type of physical activity, the type of moisturizer may change. Go with an oil free moisturizer such as our Microcare Replenish when you are engaging in activities that stimulate excessive perspiration or for outdoor summer sports. In the winter, sports such as skiing and snowboarding require a heavier moisturizing cream.

Treat yourself to regular facials. It may seem like a luxury treatment, but it is recommended by our estheticians to have monthly customized facials. For people who exercise regularly, regular exfoliation, deep pore cleansing, and hydration are essential. So book your monthly appointment today!

Sensitive skin? Cooling down with cold water isn’t what to do – allow your body a cool down period first. Use our Elizabeth Grady Sensitivity Protection Crème. Then, treat yourself to hot tubs, saunas, and steam rooms to prevent any increased sensitivity in the skin from heat. Who knew pampering was so good for you?

Make sure you drink plenty of water to replace any fluids lost during physical activity and take extra care against UV exposure with SPF 30 to prevent the formation of wrinkles, age spots, and skin cancers. For younger looking skin, try the Elizabeth Grady Hydrosurge Crème to correct the appearance of imperfections. Don’t forget your lips! Use SPF lip balm during the day and your eye cream on your lips at night.

Welcome the weather with the proper skin care to keep your body and skin as young as you feel. Book an appointment at Elizabeth Grady today for your personalized skin care treatment and stay healthy with your regular pampering needs!
