Always Wear Protection – Sun Protection!

April showers bring May flowers and along with it extra sunshine from daylight savings. This means

days with longer sun exposure.  The average person has 20 minutes of natural sun protection made from oil that is naturally secreted from their pores.  Those twenty minutes of natural sun defense can be quickly exhausted just walking to and from our cars, checking the mail box, going in and out of work or a super market.  After that initial 20 minutes of protection is exhausted, damage to the skin cells ensues. The majority of damage occurs when we are driving to and from work and errands because the front windshield acts like a magnifying glass tripling the sun’s intensity and damaging rays. This is why Estheticians at Aminah’s Organic Skin Spa recommend using sunscreen year round regardless of weather conditions. By wearing daily sunscreen you create an extra shield so that while outside, but especially while driving, you can deflect and reduce your exposure and the effects of premature aging, sun spots, and sun damage caused by over exposure to the sun.  Acne clients need to wear sun protection too because over exposure to the sun can make acne scars more permanent.

The #1 way to slow down aging and prevent skin cancer is by wearing sunscreen daily. Also, sunscreen can help protect sun spots and acne scars from becoming darker and more prevalent. It is important to note that individuals with fair skin types are more vulnerable to premature aging AND skin cancer. According to a report on NBC’s Today Show, a Board Certified Dermatologist reported that if an individual has had 3 childhood sunburns they are guaranteed to get skin cancer. That alarming statistic is critical enough to urge readers to protect daily.

Aminah’s Organic Skin Spa carries a wide range of sunscreens.  From hydrating and anti-aging sunscreens, to the only oil control SPF on the market!  Owner, Aminah’s favorite sun defense is Eminence Organic Skincare’s Sun Defense minerals.  This is a mineral sunscreen that is tinted with freeze dried fruit so it A) deflects heat so you sweat less and break out less, B) acts like a make-up and C) has a biocomplex of vitamin A, C, E, Alpha Lipoic Acid, and Coenzyme Q-10.  This means it is anti-aging, calming, healing, and anti-inflammatory, helping a variety of conditions such as acne and aging skin.

Tips on Choosing the Right Sun Protection

1) Avoid over the counter (grocery store or drug store) brands because they are made with oil which can clog pores and have little to no nutrients for the skin.  Stick with Organic as Organic sunscreens have a higher concentration of vitamins and minerals derived from organic sources and therefore are healing, nourishing, as well as protective.

2) If outdoors reapply every 2 hours making sure to pat dry 1st (the sweat or water) so that the sun protection blocks appropriately.  Wet or sweaty skin will dilute the sun protection and not properly block and protect the skin increasing your chance for burning and damaging skin.

3) For Men & children – apply sun protection to face, neck, ears, behind the ears, and back of the neck as these delicate areas need protection too and often burn or damage more quickly.

4) For Women – apply sun protection to face, neck and chest as these areas are often exposed and damage over time.  Protecting all three areas will allow women to age more gracefully and evenly.

5) Don’t forget the body.  Using a quality, organic body sunscreen on hands and arms will help deter sun spots and pre-mature wrinkling as those areas are exposed to the sun’s damaging rays daily especially while we drive.

So remember, rain or shine always wear sun protection. Damage starts from birth on so from 6 months of age to end of life apply sunscreen to face and other appropriate areas. The skin you take care of now is the skin you will wear when you are older. Developing daily habits now of protecting your skin from the sun will slow future aging and potentially prevent skin cancer. Preventative care is what Aminah’s Organic Skin Spa teaches to their clients.

New Year... NuFace!

We make resolutions for our bodies, but why not our skin?  After all our skin is not only our largest organ and one of the most vital detoxification organs, but our skin is also one of the primary things people notice upon making a first impression.

This year set an intention for great skin and leave the resolutions behind.  Great skin starts by toning facial muscles which can deter lines and wrinkles. 

So for the New Year Aminah's Organic Skin Spa, your local Las Vegas day spa, is offering 10% off our NuFace treatment.  This treatment can be added to any facial and uses microcurrent technology to lift and tonify the facial muscles.  Microcurrent technology was 1^st developed to help patients with atrophied facial muscles (like stroke victims).  The treatments were so effective in restoring use of facial muscles and further tonifying them that Doctors decided to bring them into medical spas. Today, low-level microcurrent technology is available at day spas to be used in conjunction with organic peels and treatments. The NuFace treatments are like Pilates for the face and the lifting has immediate and cumulative results that can last up to 72 hours per treatment.  

It’s like having your very own facial trainer. Yes that’s right; we hire trainers for our bodies, but why not train and tone our 52 facial muscles. Overtime “untrained” facial muscles sag and this deterioration leads to lines and wrinkles.  So hiring a qualified esthetician can help improve your skin by the organic peels and treatments we use on the skin’s surface, but also we are training the muscles below the surface of the face by manual massage or implementing the NuFace microcurrent treatment. 

Take Care of Your Skin Now for Longtime Benefits

Remember - the skin (and muscles) you take care of now are the skin (and muscles) that you will wear as you are getting older. So don’t wait until surgery is the only option. Preventative maintenance can go a long way in age prevention, and avoidance of the dreaded scapula.
