The More You Know💡 If you’re only utilizing injectables and not treating your skin…you’ll come up short on what your results COULD be. And we don’t want that.
Why Resurfacing Modalities Will Always Matter (yes, even if you get Botox & filler) :
Bear with our super simplified anatomy lesson for a second. This is the outer most layer of your skin, the epidermis. Within the epidermis itself there are several layers. The freshest, newest, shiniest of those cells lie a few rows down. But the stratum corneum is right on top which consists of dead, dry, mattifying cells - not the cutest. 🙃 Many people complain of a dullness to their skin when these cells are able to accumulate. Our skin gets lazy when it’s not called on.
Here’s how to pump up the glow:
When you exfoliate or remove some of that dead stratum corneum, your skin calls down to the basale layer stem cells saying “We got a situation here - make us some new stuff!” And your skin answers. Because it’s very smart. 😎
How to holler at your Stratum basale:
Physical exfoliants: like ZO exfoliating polish
Chemical exfoliants: like ZO exfoliation accelerator, AHAs, chemical peels
Vitamin A derivatives: like tretinoin or retinols
Mechanical stimulation: like with microneedling, light, & lasers
Don’t let your skin fall asleep on the job - and if you need help perking her up, you know where to find us! 😏
