VICKI’S PICKS Éminence Rosehip Triple C+E Firming Oil — It happens every year, summer winds down and cool weather slowly makes its way in. When the season changes you may notice your skin type changing as well. You may need to bump up your skin care regimen. If you are uncertain, we do complimentary consultations to help you find the perfect regimen for your skin type. Fragrant soapy scrubs might feel and smell good

but they also leave skin dry. Try to use an oil base scrub and a more moisturizing cleanser. An alcohol-free toner, even if you normally don’t use, one will seal in hydration.

Sunscreen remains a daily essential, so don’t set it aside. Fall rays (UVB) are just as harmful and responsible for skin cancer. Your sunscreen can also be used as your moisturizer, we just have to find the right one for you. My personal little secret is to add Rosehip Triple C + E firming Oil to my Lotus Detoxifying Overnight Treatment. It provides nourishing hydration and helps diminish fine lines and pigment. �

ypically, acne clears up nicely during the summer when people are outdoors and under less stress, but a month or so after school starts they begin to see

pimples and blackheads return.

Back to school stress can trigger acne breakouts, but there are many treatment options that can help. Considering treatment options early, before acne gets worse, will help keep skin clear.

Visit with one of our providers to develop a treatment plan to keep your skin healthy and clear. �

DO COLLAGEN SUPPLEMENTS GET RID OF WRINKLES? hese supplements have existed in vitamin stores and have expanded to drug and grocery stores. The promise of these pills is to turn back the clock and help the body rebuild its collagen from within. Is this just hope in a bottle?

Collagen is a natural protein component of the skin that acts like a scaffold and is the main building block for cells, tissues, and organs. Everyone’s collagen declines after the ripe old age of 30. With decreased collagen, the skin loses its natural elasticity and fi rmness, leading to fi ne lines, wrinkles and sagging skin.

Collagen supplements claim to offer a range of benefi ts including: • wrinkle reduction • skin plumping• skin tightening • age reversal• increased skin elasticity

Currently there is little evidence that collagen supplements do what they claim. There is no guarantee that taking collagen supplements would be any more effective than ingesting any source of healthy protein such as organic meat, cheese, eggs, or beans.

What has been proven to work?Most importantly, prevent the loss of collagen that you already have. Sun protection is one of the most important ways to combat aging.

Clinical Study Results

Cigarette smoke greatly decreases collagen. Improper or insuffi cient sleep also has a negative effect on the skin. A nutritious diet full of antioxidants from fruits and vegetables is important to collagen production. Proper skin care with products that have anti-oxidant or Retin-A help stop collagen degradation and boost collagen production. Dermal fi llers have been shown to stimulate fi broblasts around them to increase collagen. Fillers also seem to be protective of existing collagen in the area they are injected. Lasers and radiofrequency can also stimulate collagen renewal.

Possible side effects of too much collagen intake include: hypercalcemia, constipation, bone pain, fatigue, abnormal heart rhythms, and hypersensitivity to allergens in food. So far collagen supplements are not proving to be the fountain of youth. Researchers who study collagen say mincing down the particle size into small chains of amino acids and peptides might be the key to improve their ability to be absorbed. Being a cautious optimist, there may be a time that a specifi c type of bioactive collagen peptide can increase collagen production. Further independent studies are needed to see statistically signifi cant data. �
