Sun’s Out, Glow’s Gone: The Consequences of SPF Sloth

HST

We’ve all been there. The alarm snoozes one too many times, the coffee stays cold, and suddenly, that SPF application gets bumped down the priority list. But before you skip sunscreen for the fifth day in a row, let’s talk about the not-so-sunny consequences of neglecting your skin’s sun defense. 1. Sunburn City: The most immediate consequence is, of course, sunburn. Ouch! Redness, inflammation, and peeling are just the party favors. Repeated sunburns increase your risk of skin cancer and premature aging, making those extra minutes of sleep feel less appealing in the long run. 2. Wrinkle Wonderland: Sun exposure is like a fast-forward button on the aging process. UVA rays break down collagen, the protein responsible for plump, youthful skin, leading to wrinkles, lines, and a general loss of elasticity. So, say goodbye to that baby-smooth glow and hello to a landscape of fine lines. 3. Hyperpigmentation Hysteria: Dark spots, uneven skin tone, and freckles gone wild? Sun damage can trigger melanin overproduction, leading to hyperpigmentation. And while some Continue Reading

Everything You Need to Know About Crow’s Feet

HST

What are Crow’s Feet? Crow’s feet are the small lines that radiate from the corners of the eyes. They are a common sign of aging, but they can also be caused by sun damage and smoking. Crow’s feet are typically caused by muscle contractions around the eyes. When we smile or squint, the muscles around the eyes contract and cause the skin to fold. Over time, these folds can become permanent, even when the muscles are relaxed. What causes crow’s feet? There are a number of factors that can contribute to the formation of crow’s feet, including: Age: Crow’s feet are a natural part of the aging process. As we age, our skin loses collagen and elastin, which are the proteins that keep it firm and elastic. This can lead to the formation of wrinkles and folds, including crow’s feet. Sun damage: Sun exposure is one of the leading causes of premature aging, including crow’s feet. The sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays can damage collagen and elastin, which can lead to Continue Reading

The Power of Regular Facials: Clearer, Brighter, and More Even Skin

HST

Facials are a great way to improve the overall health and appearance of your skin. They can help to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation. Facials can also be customized to address specific skin concerns, such as acne, dryness, fine lines and wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. Benefits of facials Deep cleansing: Facials provide a deeper cleanse than you can achieve at home, even with the best skincare products. A professional esthetician will use a variety of techniques and tools to remove dirt, oil, and dead skin cells from your pores. This can help to reduce breakouts, improve skin tone, and brighten your complexion. Exfoliation: Exfoliation is another key benefit of facials. Exfoliating helps to remove dead skin cells from the surface of your skin, revealing the brighter, healthier skin underneath. It can also help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve the overall texture of your skin. Extraction: If you have blackheads or whiteheads, an esthetician can safely extract them during a Continue Reading
