4 Summer Skin Care Tips For All Skin Types

Laser Smooth Company_Tips_Keep_Body_Cool_Skin_Glowing_01

Summer skincare is more than just sunscreen and wide-brimmed hats — though both of these are obviously crucial to your skin’s summer health. Once you find your optimal sunscreen and the floppy hat that suits you best, it’s time to think about these other ways to ensure healthy skin straight through the warmest of seasons.

Exfoliate

Basic skincare dictates weekly exfoliation of your skin; dull skin cells can make your skin appear dull and dry. And even luxury lotions won’t do much to revive your skin without proper exfoliation.

Hydrate

Skincare 101; drink lots of water for plump, healthy skin cells. In summer, heat can wick moisture away faster than you can replace if you don’t keep a water bottle handy throughout the day.

Meditate

Calm your body and mind with focused breathing, soothing atmospheres, and time and space dedicated to mindfulness.

Hibernate

Not literally of course, but good sleep is essential to overall health. When you lack proper rest, your skin will shout your exhaustion to anyone who looks your way. Committing to a nightly eight hours of rest can turn your skin around.

Summer Hair Removal For Everyone

Laser Smooth Company_Safe_and_effective

This vacation season, make sure you’re perfectly presentable, even in the areas where the sun doesn’t shine. Laser hair removal can ensure your skin is smooth, supple, and revealing, cabana-wear ready, but make sure you know what to expect before you make your laser hair removal appointments.

This vacation season, make sure you’re perfectly presentable, even in the areas where the sun doesn’t shine.

For optimal results, appointments are scheduled 4 to 6 weeks apart for face and neck area and 6 to 8 weeks apart for all other areas of the body. Treatment areas, on average, require between 4 and 8 treatments. We do not treat sun damaged skin. Because each individual hair cell on the body can be found in a different stage of growth (anagen, catagen, or telogen), the process of permanent hair reduction can take between 4 to 8 treatments spread out over 4 to 6 weeks between each treatment.

Unfortunately, laser hair removal does not work on blonde, light red, or gray body hair. It also does not work on vellus or baby fine hair.  If you are unsure if laser hair removal will work on your body hair, contact us to schedule a free consultation. Consultations are free and take approximately 20 to 30 minutes during which we will evaluate the hair and do test spots to the desired treatment area.

Femme Swimwear Styles for 2018

 Swimwear Styles for 2018-1

The time for vacation fashion has arrived, and if you’re planning a tropical summer vacation, you may be wondering just what trends have overtaken the swimwear industry. Additionally, these cabana fashions can inform any laser hair removal you may be undertaking this year, so consider each trend carefully.

Plunging Backs

A dramatic neckline is eye-catching, especially when it’s on the back. Create length with this swimsuit by pairing it with a delicate chain necklace and letting it hang down the back rather than the front.

High-Waisted Bottoms

The retro charm of a high waisted bikini has enthralled us for a few seasons now and its easy to see why- the cut is universally appealing; modest yet trendy, comfortable yet alluring.

Bold Graphics

Think wide stripes in bold colors, polka dots in contrasting hues, romantic florals and timeless patterns like gingham or houndstooth. These graphics are all classic and will likely be fashionable well after summer 2018 has come to a close.

3 Habits All Folks With Great Skin Share

Laser Smooth Company_3 Habits All Folks With Great Skin Share

Great skin isn’t always just the product of genetics, for many, it takes diligent effort to keep skin luminous and healthy. For those who weren’t genetically gifted with problem-free skin, there are three habits that can help turn skin issues around for good.

Diet/Hydration

The number one lifestyle change a person can make to improve the quality of their skin is with a healthy diet and adequate hydration. Skip sugary drinks and processed foods and see the difference in your skin almost immediately.

Moisturizers and Sunscreens

Finding the perfect product for your specific skin type takes the guesswork out of moisturizing and sun protection. Audition products until you find the precise formula that benefits your skin type.

Simple Routines

Many dermatologists and skincare experts advise against overly complicated skin care routines. Instead, select a few products that work well for you and stick with them. Additionally, keeping your routine simple makes it easier to execute on a daily basis.

Dermatologists Spill Their Skin Care Secrets

Laser Smooth Company_Dermatologists Spill Their Skin Care Secrets-2

Ever wondered what the leaders in professional skin care recommend to their high-end clients? You may be surprised to find that it is less about big-ticket potions and more about common-sense lifestyle tips. These tips come courtesy of Jeannette Graf, MD, assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center and Rebecca Fitzgerald, MD, a dermatologist specialist in Los Angeles.

Protection, Prevention, and Repair.

“By protecting skin, you prevent continued damage from sun exposure and the stresses of daily life, repairing the damage that’s been done by past exposure and the natural aging process.”

Sunscreen, Vitamin A, and Antioxidants.

“Sunscreen is tops, but the second most important product in a routine is Vitamin A, like a retinol or retinoid, this helps improve skin texture and tone. Lastly, antioxidants help reverse the oxidative damage and stress that occurs with daily living.”

Skin as a Reflection of Health.

“Your skin is a mirror of what’s going on inside. Avoid acid-producing foods and consume a diet rich in fruits and green leafy vegetables. Be sure to drink lots of water with lemon or lime.”

The Best Advice From A Korean Skin Care Expert

Laser Smooth Company_The Best Advice From A Korean Skin Care Expert

Dubbed K-Beauty by American beauty bloggers, Korean skincare has fascinated the skincare obsessed with simple routines featuring multiple steps to achieve an ageless glow. What we find most fascinating, however, is that the cultural divide closes pretty fast when it comes to common sense skin, and in truth, self-care as a whole.

A typical a.m routine involves these steps:

 1: Rinse face with water — and only water

2: Toner

3: Essence (a hybrid between a toner and a serum)

4: Ampoule (ampoules target specific skin care concerns)

5: Serum (serums target wrinkles, dark spots, and dehydration)

6: Eye cream (it’s important to keep this area hydrated and protected)

7: Moisturiser

8: Sunscreen

A simplified version of this routine might look something more like this:

 1: Water Rinse

2: Toner

3: Serum/Ampoule

4: Eye Cream

5: Moisturiser with SPF

Regardless of your morning routine, or your country of origin, the basic tenants of skincare remain the same; hydrate often, eat well and get plenty of exercise to achieve luminous healthy skin.

Skincare Tips For Your Upcoming Wedding

Laser Smooth Company_Skincare Tips For Your Upcoming Wedding

Keeping your skin as fresh and dewy as possible for your upcoming big day is as simple as following these few wellness tips. Whether you’re draped in white organza, tailored into a bespoke suit, or just casually exchanging vows with your partner sans elaborate fanfare, make sure your glowing skin is the highlight of the day.

Hydrate

The best skin care tip you’ll ever receive is to simply keep your body hydrated. Dehydration will manifest in all manner of skin issues, included a waxen, discolored visage. Stay camera ready on your big day, and every day, by drinking plenty of water.

Moisturize After Showering

A big mistake many folks make is towel drying their skin completely before applying their favorite lotions. The trick is to apply lotion while skin is still moist, so the moisturizer can lock in the H20 from your shower.

Avoid Processed Foods

Sugary drinks, overprocessed convenience meals, sodium-rich snacks, and sweeteners to spare — avoid these things and see a difference not just in your skin but in your overall health.

Our Favorite Sunscreens For Sensitive Skin

Laser Smooth Company_Our Favorite Sunscreens For Sensitive Skin

Sunny skies are on the horizon and warmer temperatures have arrived, and for those with sensitive skin, that means slathering on substantial amounts of daily sunscreen. Sensitive skin can be difficult to protect, however, which is why we depend on these few effective, protective and soothing sunscreens:

Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Sunscreen

We all love a good mineral-based sunscreen, and Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Sunscreen provides effective UVA/UVB protection. Bonus points for Neutrogena’s broad spectrum formula that glides on sheer and leaves no greasy residue.

Vanicream Sunscreen Broad Spectrum

Vanicream’s Sunscreen Broad Spectrum formula sits on the skin to create a barrier that reflects and absorbs UVA and UVB rays. But what we really love is Vanicream’s formula, which features both omega fatty acids and vegetable squalane to calm skin irritation.

Blue Lizard Sunscreen for Sensitive Skin

Australians know their sun protection — and Blue Lizard Sunscreen for Sensitive Skin is a perfect example of the great care taken to create a soothing sun protection lotion with no uncomfortable residue. Bonus, the lotion’s lid is UV photo-sensitive, changing color when harmful rays make it necessary to re-apply.
