What every
skin needs to be healthy
To
have beautiful, smooth skin, there are at least ten
different requirements that need to be met. This
include daily needs, advanced care needs, and the
expertise of the professionals at The Skin Perfect
Clinic.
To
have health skin and slow the process of aging, the
structure (collagen and other building blocks) and
function of the skin must be supplemented and protected.
To
improve the basic attributes of the skin, you will need

So
how do I do all of this?
There
are two main levels of skin management at The Skin
Perfect Clinic, in Columbus, Ohio. First are the basic needs of the
skin – this includes the daily minimum that all skin
types require. Seconds are advanced skin management
treatments to address specific concerns. Starting in
our twenties, are advanced needs continue to increase.
What
are the basic needs?
At
the core they are: Cleanse, Tone, Protect (day),
Hydrate (night). This are the fundamental building
blocks to a skin management system. However, you have
to be careful to properly analyze your skin so that
depending on your skin (if it is oily, dry, acne prone,
etc) you will need different strengths of each of these
building blocks. This is where our skin professional
will formulate the best program for you!
What
are the advanced needs?
They
are Nourish, Treat, Refinish, Exfoliate, Mask, and
Revitalize. Again, not everyone needs all of these
treatments. After a thorough review with your skin care
professional we will
address your priorities and concerns for your skin.
I
already clean my skin – is that enough?
No. You
will need a mild cleanser that meets the skin’s basic
need to be free of excess oil, dirt, and pollutants. If
these impurities are not removed, they can have the
following negative effects: dull, or oily appearance to
the skin, and clogged, inflamed pores that may lead to
the development of acne. |
