Treating Dark Spots aka Hyperpigmentation Hyperpigmentation (aka dark spots) is one of the most common types of skin discoloration. Dark spots are caused by melanocytes (cells responsible for skin's color) depositing excess pigment into deeper levels of the skin. Fade hyperpigmentation caused by previous breakouts, sun damage, or hormonal fluctuations with topical treatments formulated with brightening ingredients, such as vitamin C, licorice root, and kojic acid. Laser tr...eatments also help diminish discoloration over time. Paul is ready to provide you with transformative esthetic services that will help you achieve your best skin ever.

Treating Acne with Retinol Retinol, a medium-strength retinoid & natural vitamin A derivative, is commonly found in anti-aging products. However, it may also be an effective ingredient for treating acne & reducing the appearance of acne scars. Retinol exfoliates to remove dirt, dead skin cells, and oil from pores, helping prevent the formation of pimples. It also works by literally getting under your skin, unlike many other acne treatments. Retinol molecules penetrate y...our skin, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin which, in turn, fight acne indirectly by minimizing the appearance of pores and acne scars over time.

Make Your Own Lip Scrub with Coffee & Olive Oil Two teaspoons of coffee mixed with one teaspoon of olive oil, when used as a lip scrub, can give you luscious, moisturized lips.

How CBD Alleviates Acne & Inflammation CBD (cannabidiol) has been shown to reduce inflammation, aid in pain relief, improve hydration and reduce oil production. Our body’s endocannabinoid system regulates inflammation and CBD plays an important part in clearing it up. CBD addresses the underlying reason for the inflammation, rather than just managing the symptoms (i.e. visible redness). When applied topically, CBD calms down oily skin, reducing the potential for clogged po...res and breakouts. These anti-inflammatory and oil-reducing benefits make it effective in treating acne, rosacea, eczema and psoriasis.

The Right Masque for Your Skin Type Facial masques, unlike moisturizers & serums, provide a shorter, more intense skin experience that delivers performance ingredients in a highly concentrated fashion. The masque that will work best for you depends on your skin type & condition. For oily skin, look for masques containing clay and activated charcoal. For dry skin, use masques rich in hyaluronic acid, vitamin C & aloe vera. For acne-prone skin, masques containing colloidal ...sulfur and salicylic acid will exfoliate skin while loosening whiteheads & blackheads. Combination skin? Apply the appropriate masque to the specific area(s). For example, Use an oil-absorbing masque on the T-Zone & a hydrating masque on the rest of your face.

Skin Care Is Self Care Despite all of the stressors we encounter in our daily lives, we still need to pause and take a moment to take care of ourselves. Skin care is self care. In the morning, take the extra time to massage your face while applying your favorite moisturizer. At lunchtime, spritz your face with toner for a refreshing pick-me-up. And when you're winding down at night, apply a soothing, hydrating masque to cleansed skin before going to sleep.
