Beautiful skin starts with expert knowledge.

If you haven’t identified your skin type, you may not know what your skin needs or wants — is it a chemical peel, a mask, a facial, dermaplaning, something esle? Helping you answer those important skin questions is our job. We are here to assess your skin and put together a customized skincare plan for your unique skin type — a plan that will get your skin and your overall appearance where you want them to be.

Dry skin skincare plan

If you have dry skin, you typically find that you can’t moisturize enough and that you’re always seeking more hydrating and moisturizing products. Everyone’s skin gets drier as we get older into our 40s, 50s, and 60s. It’s not uncommon for patients to say “My skin used to be combination or oily, but now I find that it’s drier or dry.”

You want to condition and hydrate dry skin through a variety of targeted exfoliation options to soothe, nourish, and rehydrate the skin. Depending on your skin type and condition, hydration, rejuvenation, and retexturing can be achieved.

Oily skin skincare plan

If you have oily skin, you typically notice that your skin looks oily throughout the day. You may also feel like you have to use blotting papers during the day to soak up excess oil. Sometimes oily skin can be associated with congestion and acne breakouts, but not always. On the upside, oily skin tends to show fewer signs of aging than drier skin types.

You should take a balanced approach and avoid congestion in the pores through a deep pore cleanse and exfoliation, followed by steam and extractions, if necessary. The skin will be treated with non-comedogenic ingredients to wick away excess surface oil, revealing fresh, clean skin. Finishing products will include appropriate serums and light hydration.

Sensitive skin skincare plan

If you have sensitive skin, many products and even environmental factors such as intense sun or wind can cause your skin to react, becoming irritated, rashy, or red. Typically those with sensitive skin are cautious about trying new products and procedures because they want to make sure anything new agrees with their skin.

Redness, inflammation, and sensitivity can all be addressed with treatments tailored to address the delicate nature of this skin type. Antioxidants, nutrients, and plant extracts are used to calm and soothe the skin while gently removing surface impurities. Some lasers can permanently reduce the inflammation in the skin and improve the appearance.

Combination skin skincare plan

If you have combination skin, it can be different on different days or behave differently on different parts of your face. Combination skin is very common. Some days it may need one thing and other days another.

Combination skin can be difficult to treat. We will address the immediate condition of the skin while working to balance and nourish the skin for long-term results. Treatments will include deep cleansing and exfoliating, reducing congestion in the pores, and soothing dehydration. Specialty masks and peels are especially helpful in balancing this skin type and can be incorporated into your treatment.
