Getting under your skin Unprotected skin takes a beating during this time of year, both indoors and out. By TEDDYE SNELLStaff Writer “Micro peels help exfoliate the skin, as well as helping with fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentation,” said Faulkner. “Facials are good for people of all ages or gender. We’ve had 8-year-olds in here for facials, and see a lot more men these days.”
Free consultations are available by appointment, and medical forms are required, as the spa is a medical facility. Constant travel can also be hard on a person’s skin, and airline restrictions on what size and amount of cosmetics can be carried can make adhering to a strict daily skin regimen difficult. Denise Deason-Toyne, a local attorney, has done her fair share of traveling and has learned some skin care tricks along the way. “You can purchase travel-size bottles and tubes of moisturizer to pack and tuck a couple in the carry-on baggie, and you’re probably good for a week or two,” she said. “Lack of humidity can be a problem for skin, so getting some ‘steam action’ from the lavatory sink or soaking a facecloth in hot – but not scalding – water, then apply to skin, works for some.” Deason-Toyne believes the best cure for really dry, rough skin is to prevent it from happening altogether by exfoliating and moisturizing. “But if your skin, and feet, knees, hands, and elbows are often the worst, I have found that Gold Bond softener cream is wonderful,” she said. “Just put it on overnight and it makes a huge difference on dry areas.” She also has a word of advice for women who wear makeup. “Purchase quality makeup foundations,” she said. “Be sure you get the appropriate type for your skin type – for instance, non-oil based if you have oily skin.”
