At Belladerm, we LOVE rolling out new products to you and this one is sure to get a lot of buzz.  SkinMedica just launched an amazing new duo called The LUMIVIVE™ System. This powerful two-step system is designed to protect skin from blue light and environmental damage. Everyone knows to avoid sun damage but THIS? Chances are this type of damage isn’t on your radar. But did you know that the average person spends around 10 hours in front of a screen daily?! Are you aware that blue light produced by screens actually causes skin damage by degrading antioxidants in the skin? It also increases free radicals that cause aging, dark spots, wrinkles, and saggy or loose skin.

Benefits of LUMIVIVE™

Since aging is accelerated from many modern environmental factors (pollution, blue light, UV rays, heat, etc..) LUMIVIVE™ is designed to protect skin from these external factors. Simply add this to any skincare routine that you already have in place. It is designed for ALL skin types. Defend from environmental aggressors during the day with LUMIVIVE™ Day Damage Defense Serum and revitalize and detoxify at night while you rest with Night Revitalize Repair Complex. Visible results of truly radiant skin can be revealed in as little as 14 days, users have reported. This innovation is a game changer!

The colors of fall and crisp air are upon us. You might be surprised to know that fall is the perfect time to get a chemical peel. Summer’s damaging rays have left your skin in need of repair and you’re probably noticing it. Heavy exfoliation is a very important part of skin rejuvenation. A very effective way to remove the built up dead skin cells and stimulate turnover is by getting a chemical peel. Fall weather means we all spend more time indoors and less time in the sun. This makes it the best time to get a peel because you can keep your newly revealed skin shielded from rays of the sun.

We have many different options for chemical peels at Belladerm and we love working with you to select the very best peel for you based on your skin needs. When you come in for a peel, a chemical solution is applied to the face, which removes the damaged outer layer of skin and unveils softer, smoother, more radiant skin. Most procedures take less than an hour to perform, with minimal discomfort during the treatment. Right now is the ideal time to get treatments so you can enjoy rejuvenated skin for the holidays.

So with little downtime and a more vibrant complexion as the result, what are you waiting for? Call us at 763.494.9905 to schedule your consultation or book your chemical peel.

Skip the tanning bed. Period. There is no such thing as a safe base tan and even occasional use of a tanning bed triples the chance of developing melanoma.  Exposure to tanning beds before age 35 increases the risk of melanoma by 75% and check this out: 2.3 million of the 30 million people using tanning beds a year are teenagers, who are at highest risk for skin damage. Parents, please talk to your kids about the dangers. Fair skinned beauties beware but the rest of you aren’t off the hook. Yes, people with fair complexion are at highest risk for developing skin cancer, but that doesn’t mean others should ignore their skin or sun safety! People of any race or ethnicity can develop skin cancer. It’s not just moles. Any abnormal growth should be checked out. If you have a new nodule of skin, something that might even look like a wart or pearly, lumped up piece of flesh that’s getting bigger, that could be a different form of cancer. It is far better to prevent it than deal with skin cancer. When detected early, skin cancer has a greater than 95% cure rate, so vigilance with skin exams is essential. Keep an eye out and visit your dermatologist. Sunscreen needs to be part of your daily routine. Even in winter months. Protect your skin and you’ll have beautiful skin to show for it. We carry high quality sunscreen products at Belladerm, as well as stylish hats. Stop in for advice about what sunscreen is best for your skin type or for a free consultation anytime. We’ll see you soon!
