YOUR SKIN: Hyperpigmentation? A thing of the past

Dr. Oz on: Recharging your Skin with Glycolic & Lactic Acid: March 31, 2011
Earlier this week we posted a note on Facebook about the benefits of a skin care regimen that consists of using L-lactic acid and glycolic acid. Though I’ve been touting the benefit of these important AHAs for more than two decades, I was reminded of how this seemingly simple concept has yet to take root in the mainstream world when Dr. Oz brought the issue to forefront on a recent show.
On his show, “Recharge Your Body from the Inside Out,” he talked about the benefits of using a milk compress after cleansing followed by a moisturizer with glycolic acid to restore pH balance, induce cell turnover and hydrate. Though it’s not a new concept, I’m glad that he had the platform to get this message to the masses. Remember the milk acids were used by Cleopatra and are considered an ancient tradition for beauty.
AssessmentSidebar2 Why does this combination make a difference? The lactic acid, an alpha hydroxyl acid (AHA), not only provides rich hydration and softens the skin, but also exfoliates without provoking irritation. It also treats pigmentation discolorations and reduces wrinkles. Glycolic, also an AHA, removes dead cells, smoothes skin texture and reduces the signs of wrinkles. Since it is a smaller molecule it is able to penetrate cellular walls and actively stimulate collagen production and cell turnover. The combination of the two will lift away dead cells and promote the growth of new ones – without being too harsh – as well as restore hydration and pH balance.
Here’s a nice regimen I recommend for healthy, hydrated and glowing skin: cleanse with a lactic acid such as the Gentle Milk Cleanser (pure milk extracts)

084_GentleMilkCleanser_recropped080_PumpkinCleanser_cropped Skin smoothing gel

Cleanser, Or Pumkin Cleanser
(a lactic acid base) followed by glycolic acid therapy support such as the Skin Smoothing Gel to correct and smooth photo-damaged skin and Moisture Au Lait (milk moisturizer) to give skin a soothing nourishing finish.
This natural, all-purpose daily cleanser removes surface residue and protects against free radical damage. Pumpkin has a high content of vitamin A and beta carotene, two potent antioxidant ingredients; combined with natural surface-reducing lipids and essential oils, Pumpkin Cleanser provides important nutrition for the skin. With a wonderfully appealing scent and gentle enough for ultra sensitive skin, Pumpkin Cleanser cleanses deeply for normal to oily skin types. If pumpkin is drying for some skins, recommend mixing with Gentle Milk Cleanser for a creamy, luscious cleanse.
09-28-2010 (1) 03-27-2011 112 Lilly: I have seen huge improvements with my clients over the past couple of months. Clearing up sun damaged skin, acne and hyperpigmentation takes a little time, lot's of "home work"(consistant and appropriate skin care regimen) The results will amaze you. In a short period time, you can definitely see improvements. Enought to make you want to continue.

Perfect treatment "Before your wedding" makeup.

2010_signature_treatment_sidebar_v4.gif photos Signature Treatment - Enzyme & Mask Trio

Beautiful skin doesn't have to be a one time thing.  Our treatments get our clients great results even after the first facial. 

Below is one or our most popular beauty facials.
The Enzyme Trio Facial

This three-step enzyme treatment begins with the Pepsin & Papain Enzyme, a blend of two enzymes and pineapple fruit extracts that gently begins the transformation of skin.  It prepares the skin for cell digestion and surface exfoliation while under a soothing steam bath.  The Maui Enzyme Peel, (Bromelain Extracts and L-Lactic Acid) with its enticing scents of the Hawaiian Islands, begins deeper tissue softening and regeneration.  It is massaged into skin until skin feels like butter.

The finale' enzyme is Cherry Jubilee (a phyto-nutrient enzyme of cherries, pomegranate, apple, grapes, and pineapple) which infuses antioxidants into skin, giving it a glowing and radiant finish.  A heated wet wrap is applied to skin for enhanced benefits and to deepen relaxation.

Hyaluronic

  • The Milk Parfait Lift Mask gives skin all-important nutrients while toning and firming skin tissue.  This is a blend of our Lift Mask, Milk Mask Grape Seed Parfait Mask.
  • Skin is spritzed with Rhonda Allison humectant spray of amino acids, honey, and antioxidants for optimum hydration.  Light tapotement supports liquid absorption. 
  • The combination daytime moisture support of Ultra Hydration and Daytime Defense SPF30 leaves skin ready to face the elements.
Skin is awakened and nourished and the effects last for weeks
targets dehydration, depletion from environmental elements, free radical damage, and dull, slackened skin tissue.  Following a deep cleansing, the skin is treated with a combination of three which will deliver a potent dose of antioxidants, as well as smooth, rebuild and purify the skin.  This signature treatment will awaken the senses with delicious aromas and soothing sensations.  

Serum ~ Amino Peptide Serum ~ Super C Serum ~ Therapy E Serum blended together and smoothed into skin, followed with a few drops of Omega VI and a stimulating facial massage. FABULOUS!

Wake up dull summer skin, now is the time.

Peel Poster blonde
Many of you are familiar with our   Organic A Complex; it has become one of our most popular formulas known for its skin-perfecting qualities. During our ongoing research into new technologies and ingredients, we discovered a way to deepen the effects of this already powerful formula.  

Until now, the serum was a unique blend of Retinol, L-Lactic Acid, and organic veggies and herbs, which worked to renew and strengthen skin. The newest addition, the plant stem cell technology, boosts the rebuild process, without compromising the gentle approach to healthy skin and a flawless complexion.

Organic Stem Cells

Through Meristem Cell Culture biotechnology cell cultures are extracted from the stem cells of Buddleja Davidii (also known as the “Butterfly Bush”). These stem cells are essential to plant growth and the rebuild of damaged tissues. In skin care, it has proven to be highly effective in preserving lipids, increasing antioxidant resistance, and inhibiting the production of collagenases, the enzymes responsible for breaking down peptide bonds in collagen. Butterfly Bush, a shrub, was traditionally used for wound healing because of its exceptionally high antioxidant activity, and anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It works to boost the skin’s ability to resist oxidation, providing protection from UVA photo-damage and preventing discoloration.

Synergy within the Formula

Butterfly The combination of the retinol and Butterfly Bush work in tandem to first break down (renew) the skin then rebuild it (strengthen), which is why this formula is so effective in age-reversal and prevention.  

The L-Lactic Acid, a component of the skin’s natural moisturizing factor, helps increase desquamation and evenly thin the stratum corneum, refining fine lines and making skin soft, smooth and supple. Together, these three ingredients are effective for clearing away overstressed, dull summer skin and preparing it for the fall and winter months.

The blend of organic vegetable and herb extracts—including carrot, cucumber, tomato, green tea and ginger—contribute to the potent age-reversal powers of the serum, and further bolster the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

040_eZincProtectionCream_cropped Since this acts as an exfoliant, remember to partner with any of our epidermal growth factor preparations and use sun block or Screen,    Daytime Defense or eZinc to protect the new, fresh skin.

Time to get your skin back

Busy_mom The lazy days of summer are coming to an end. We’re trading in our relaxing vacation days, our 1/2 days on Fridays, summer beach weekends for days filled with schedules, shuttling kids to and from school, and catching up on daily chores and work.
Hot days, sun exposed skin needs a time out now to regenerate and heal itself from sun dammage.  There are a few ways to perk up the skin.
 
Morning Energizers
Get the morning started off right. Just as we jump start our bodies with a nutritious breakfast, the skin needs its daily dose of nutrition to look awake and fresh. Start with a light polish like the Brightening Scrub  to invigorate the senses, clear away excess oil that may have accumulated throughout the night and stimulate blood flow.

To keep the skin looking refreshed all day, give it much needed support with a blast of antioxidants and vitamins. The Antioxidant Complex Serum  and Super C Serum  have high-powered antioxidant properties and work to control free radical damage and strengthen the skin. Finish with the Blushed Wine Gel , for iridescent, glowing skin, and Daytime Defense  for protection from environmental elements.

On the Go
Sometimes we need a moment to recharge during the day. For those of us on the go, clients on the go, take with you  travel-sized perk-me-ups. For instance, to zap tired eyes, recommend  the Eye Revitalizer . Dabbed on throughout the day, eyes will appear bright, fresh and awake. 

For instant cooling relief, moisture and to refresh skin, give clients a hydrator spray, like the Cucumber Spritz  or Purifying Lotion . The Cucumber Spritz  has a cooling effect and moisture binding nutrients to give skin a “drink of water.” The Purifying Lotion  douses the skin with potent antioxidant nutrients, making it particularly beneficial for those who live in congested metropolitan areas. These heavy waters are perfect for travel and on-the-go.

Evening Relaxers
To unwind after a busy, stressful day recommend a quick mini treatment with chilled Ice Globes, the Cherry Jubilee Enzyme  and the Chocolate Enzyme Mask . The nutrient and antioxidant-rich combination will cool the skin; act as an anti-inflammatory and repair photo-damage. 

To totally renew your skin, try a progressive peel and get "the glow".  Now is the time, when fall comes to 0ur door, the temperature is cooler.  For more information on how to get your youful glow back, contact me at bridalgal@aol.com

CHEMICAL SUNSCREENS, DANGER?



 Is your sunscreen exposing your skin to greater danger? A study on mainstream sunscreen formulas released in May showed most are destroying the skin. Zincite

The study evaluated hundreds of the most popular sunscreens on the market today and found nearly half of the products may actually increase the rate at which malignant cells develop! The reason?  These formulas contained Vitamin A and Vitamin A derivatives.
 
Zincite
As  a skin care professional, I am aware and  know that vitamin A and sun don’t mix. Do you know what to look out for though? The study found three vitamin A derivatives commonly used in these sun block formulas:
  • Retinyl Palmitate
  • Retinol
  • Retinyl Acetate
While Vitamin A certainly has its place in the defense against aging skin, we know any retinol treatment must be followed with a sunscreen, preferably used at night and to not expose the skin to UVA and UVB rays. This is an extremely important issue.

Chemicals and Sunscreen

Many of the formulas today are also loaded with unhealthy doses of chemicals. While these formulas promise extremely high SPFs, water resistance and all-day wear, they also subject the skin to a laundry list of chemicals, which are absorbed by the body.

Scientific studies have proven that chemical sunscreens have unintended detrimental consequences.
Synthetic chemicals to avoid are:    
               
  • 4-methy-benzyldencamphor (4-MBC)
  • Oxybenzone
  • Benzophenone-3
  • Octyl-methoyl-cinnamates (OMC)
  • Octyl-dimethyl-para-amin-benzoic Acid (OD-PABA)
  • Homosalate (HMS)
  CHEMICALS:  Many of the chemical-based sunscreens on the market have very low stability and potentially disrupt the body’s hormone system. Typically, mineral formulas that use zinc, act as a natural reflective shield, blocking the sun’s damaging rays, without injecting the body with harmful chemicals. 
 
OUR CHEMICAL FREE FORMULAS:  We have been using ZinClear with all of our formulas that contain zinc.

The following reasons for using ZinClear are:
  • ZinClear IM Zinc Oxide  Dispersions provide exceptional transparency on the skin from micron-sized zincoxide, even at high usage levels.  ZinClear products provide full-spectrum protection from all harmful UV rays.
  • ZinClear achieves higher levels of protection without the whitening effect typically associated with zinc oxide-based products.  The dispersion is light and non-greasy.
  • ZincOxide is mineral based and has a long history of use as being safe andeffective.  
  • ZinClear is certified as a raw material that is in accordance with Ecological and Organic Cosmetics, enabling it to be in support of “natural product claims”.
Here are some great tips there on protecting the skin from damaging rays and chemicals.
  • Seek the shade, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
  • Avoid tanning booths
  • Opt for a sunless tanner like the Bronzed DN-Age Self Tanner
  • Wear a hat and clothing that offers SPF protection
  • Hydrate – always carry water with you
  • Boost antioxidant support of the skin by applying Therapy E Serum under SPF
  Remember to always opt for an SPF30 and avoid chemical-based formulas. Look for formulas with natural zinc barrier,
 
PRODUCTS:  Available at BridalGal Radiant Face and Body
Daytime Defense SPF30 
 eZincProtection Cream,
RAW EnviroProtect, for men.
Tinted Moisturizer SPF 40
Sun Block, Mineral, Zinc and Titanium Oxide SPF 58
Sun Block Mineral Camouflage Concealer (for rosacea and discoloration coverup) SPF 60
 
These formulas also combine powerful antioxidants to inhibit free radical damage and may be layered with supportive topicals for extra antioxidant and UV support such as:
 Grape Seed Hydrating Serum   Therapy E Serum   Antioxidant Complex Serum
Your best defense against sun damage is using intelligent skin care that promotes healthy skin and gives optimum protection.

Beautifying Skin for Spring Brides

When the sun begins to warm our faces again and love is in the air, we know that wedding season is underway. But after the cold wind, dry heating systems, and dark days are done with our faces, most of us leave wintertime looking a little dull. So what’s a bride to do? Just remember some simple tips that will help   Adove lilly and necklace Untitled-2 you feel radiant on the big day.

To bring your face back to life, there are some basics that always help whether you’re at a spa or your bathroom sink. Firstly, be sure to exfoliate: it can be as simple as switching to an exfoliating face wash a few times a week. It always helps to add a product with something like fruit enzymes or hydroxy acids into your regimen for added results.  

 

 ASCP10_14

Going to get microdermabrasion at the spa is a great choice for deep exfoliation that will be noticed right away. Any of these options will reveal fresh skin that is glowing and smooth.

 Second, you need to continuously moisturize to have skin perfect for makeup application. If you’re getting a facial at a spa, that’s great because they will both exfoliate and moisture your skin while you’re there. At home, be sure you’re using a formula appropriate for your skin type, like a gel for oily skin, a thicker cream for dry, or something in between. Some of the face lotions with radiance/skin brightening ingredients are perfect for dewy skin, and are a nice boost for a romantic look.

It just takes a little extra care to revive skin for a complexion that’s more awake and better textured- so it not only glows in photos, but is a great base for perfect makeup!

Heal sun dammaged hands from summer, AGE SPOTS RUN!

Hands on approach! 

The SKIN CONNECTIONHands

  BridalGal

After summer, sun, hyperpigmentatin sets in and WHOALA!  AGE SPOTS!!!! OMG

Hand Rejuvenation: Hands Look 10 Years Younger with Three Simple Steps

Skin care for the face and neck get most of the press, but if looking younger is your goal, don’t forget about your hands! Unsightly age spots and wrinkles on the hands can give you an older appearance in spite of all the TLC you’ve given your face and décolleté. With Rhonda Allison, hand rejuvenation is just around the corner – looking as much as 10 years younger with just three simple steps!

Step 1: Exfoliate

Begin real hand rejuvenation with exfoliation. With Rhonda’s Body Peel Cream, dead skin cells are sloughed off and cell turnover is encouraged, revealing newer, fresher skin. Softening and refining dry, tired looking hands, Peel Cream contains five different AHAs. Abundant in nature, particularly in fruits and vegetables (thus justifying their name “fruit acids”), AHAs encourage exfoliation, helping other ingredients to penetrate the skin more effectively – providing support for tissue repair from photo-aging and skin deterioration.

Another choice for body exfoliation is Rhonda Allison’s Ultra Exfole’. In addition to containing an AHA, this exquisite formula also contains Retinol (another name for Vitamin A) which will add tissue strengthening properties and work in tandem as an antioxidant. As a cell-communicating ingredient, the relationship between Retinol and skin cells allows communication where the cell is told to function normally, not like a damaged or older cell, diminishing fine lines and wrinkles and restoring the growth of firm, hydrated skin.

Enzymes are another very good support for exfoliation. Enzymes digest the cells of the stratum corneum gently and orderly. Two of the most popular phyto-nutrient home care enzymes are pumpkin and cherry. Both of these chirraly correct compounds provide smoothing, softening, and brightening for hands, while preparing the skin for absorption of other valuable nutrients.

Step 2: Nourish, Brighten & Hydrate

Once hands have been properly exfoliated, the skin is ready to receive valuable nourishment, correctives, and hydration. Rhonda’s Naturale’ Mega Brightening Serum contains Vitamin B Complex, C, E, and K and antioxidants, giving hands a nourishing boost. The Daisy Flower Extract, a natural brightening ingredient, is blended with tyrosinase inhibitors such as Azelaic Acid, Kojic Acid, and L-Arbutin to aid in lightening age spots, giving hands a brighter, younger look.

To soothe and fortify the skin for a glowing radiance while reducing age spots and other discoloration, super-infuse hands with protective moisture. Rhonda’s Phyto-Endorphin Hand Cream contains ingredients such as Monk’s Pepper, known for its mood enhancing activity, provides for a radiant glow. The D-Alpha Tocopherol, a fat-soluble form of Vitamin E, improves cellular respiration and supports mitochondrial functions; Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride acts as a natural hydrating/moisturizing agent that allows vital ingredients into the tissues while keeping harmful bacteria and pathogens out. Such ingredients will help to decrease wrinkling and bind moisture in the skin.

Step 3: Protect

For a natural continuation of good skin care that gives your hands support from environmental pollution, look for an organic physical block of Zinc Oxide. Zinc Protection Cream is an excellent choice for men, teens, and anyone who wants a light, fast absorbing daily protective cream. Beneficial for all skin types, Zinc Protection may be used for hydrating and antioxidant benefits - great for use over other nutrient topicals.

Make sure to find sun blocks such as Rhonda’s Daytime Defense that protect from both UVA and UVB rays for ultimate protection. Sunscreens are especially important if you have used creams or serums containing alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), because the new skin revealed burns more easily. Apply a generous amount of sunscreen in the morning and reapply several times throughout the day, even if you are not directly in the sun. Damaging rays can penetrate car or office windows and can affect your skin even on that short walk around the neighborhood or into the grocery store. If you are facing extreme pigmentation challenges, it will be very supportive to wear white cotton gloves when driving or outdoors. All the good work you do can be undone with extreme temperatures and direct sun exposure – this can be double assurance for an ideal outcome.

So, many of the Rhonda Allison skin care products designed for use on the face and neck can also be used successfully on your hands. Make it a habit to include your hands in the daily care you give your face and neck. Age defying creams containing antioxidants, vitamins, and peptides, such as Elite eEGF and Nutrient Glaze all nourish the hands, and the final step of using a sunscreen will protect the skin on the hands from further aging. Your hands deal with a lot each day - pamper them like you do your face and your hands will never be the thing that gives away your true age!

Here is a review of the Hand Rejuvenation product line-up:

Peel Cream – contains five different AHAs to encourage maximum exfoliation
Ultra Exfole’ – includes AHA and Retinol to help diminish fine lines and wrinkles
Naturale’ Mega Brightening Serum – with Vitamin B Complex, C, E, and K and antioxidants to give hands a nourishing boost
Phyto-Endorphin Hand Cream – contains Monk Pepper for a radiant glow
Zinc Protection Cream – a light, fast absorbing daily protective cream
Daytime Defense – for ultimate protection from both UVA and UVB rays
Elite eEGF - age defying cream containing antioxidants, vitamins, and peptides
Nutrient Glaze – blend of enriched protein, amino acids, vitamins, and herbs that provide hydration and tissue building support to skin.

Laita!  Lilly

Skin age reversal? Chemical Peels!

Wedding Cafe BridalGal Logo  Analizing Skin RaPeels photo

BridalGal Clinical Skin

16 E. 38th St., NY, NY 10016   www.bridalgal.com  917-330-1913

 

We cover up hyperpigmentation, and skin imperfections with specialty waterproof Airbrush Makeup.

Here is another option to clearing up the skin other than covering up what bothers you.

 

Peels & More

What is a chemical peel?  A chemical peel is a technique which involves the application of a variety of chemical solutions to remove the damaged outer layers of dead skin cells from the skin’s surface.  It is extremely beneficial for many skin conditions such as hyperpigmentation, rosacea, acne, sun damage, and photo aging.  By removing the build-up of dead skin cells and stimulating the regenerative process, you will notice marked improvements in the formation of wrinkles and fine lines, texture and tone of the skin, hydration, reduced pore size, clearing of blemishes and more balanced oil production and an overall healthier skin appearance.

What are the different types of peels?  All Rhonda Allison treatment procedures available at BridalGal Skin, are considered superficial; they do not penetrate beyond the epidermis or papillary dermis. .

PROGRESSIVE

This treatment  does not usually cause immediate exfoliation and only removes the outer layer of skin.  As treatments are repeated, the skin will experience a mild sloughing.

MID-DEPTH

These peels affect the intra-epidermal layer, and exfoliation occurs within two to three days after application.  The skin goes through very little down time.  Peeling consists of light flaking similar to a sunburn peel.

DEEP

These peels affect the deepest intra-epidermal layers.  The skin becomes brown and crusty then undergoes considerable peeling,  occuring three to four days after application.  The skin peels in large segments as opposed to flaking.  The entire process takes about seven to ten days.

What type of home care should I use after my chemical peel?  There are specific instructions to be followed after your skin peel – this is as important as the peel itself.  Post care will include occlusive healing balms, epidermal growth factor (cell renewal and wound repair), calming, soothing topicals to reduce itching and inflammation, and always sun screen!

When the skin peel is completed and your professional has determined the skin is healed, daily skin care is essential.  The most important part of a home care routine is a cleanser and a sun block.  Next in importance is a supportive cell rejuvenator.  These are the basics.  Additional specialty products, such as pumice and buffing washes, antioxidants, eye serums, nighttime moisturizers, AHAs, ascorbic acid, retinol, enzymes, masks, and topical correctives may be added to enhance and maintain results.

For beautiful perfect skin, call us for a consultation to determine which treatment is best for you.
