Vancouver Skin Care: Customized professional treatments for normal oily and dry skin types.

What are the benefits of a Customized Spruce Facial for a:

 

Normal Skin? If skin is normal- why bother with a skin treatment?  Although a normal skin may not be troubled with concerns that occur with other skin types, blackheads in the t-zone and general dehydration are most likely present. A professional skin treatment can offer a deep exfoliation that leaves skin smooth and soft, aiding in decongestion of the pores and re-hydration of the skin.  Here are some examples of professional products that may be used to treat normal skin: 

Dermalogica’s Daily Microfoliant combined with Exfoliant Accelerator 35: a professional exfoliation cocktail with lactic acid, extract of licorice and bear-berry, and vitamin C to brighten the skin and activate cell renewal. 

Colloidal Mask: this deeply hydrating mask smooths fine lines and improves skin’s elasticity, featuring hyaluronic acid and vitamins A and C. 

 

Dry Skin? The discomfort and dullness of dry skin will benefit from Dermalogica’s Multivitamin Power Exfoliant. Enriched with olive oil, multi-vitamins, lactic acid and salicylic acid, this potent exfoliant repairs sun damage and aids in the regeneration of the connective tissues. Dry skin is replenished and re-energized with vital nutrients from the Intensive Moisture Mask, a creamy moisture-rich mask containing evening primrose oil, gingko biloba, honey and vitamins C and E. 

 

Oily Skin? Oily skin generally has a higher pH balance then other skin types, produces more dead skin cells and has a stickier sebum which inhibits the desquamation process (cell renewal), leading to skin imperfections, enlarged pores, and shininess. A professional skin treatment with Pro-Derm’s 20% glycolic acid can be extremely effective in reducing pore size and eliminating excess dead skin cells.  A pore refining treatment with Pro-Derm’s Terreus Mask featuring a 20% concentration of thermal mud and sea clay reduces oil production by up to 12% while aloe vera, shea butter and lavender moisturize and sooth the skin.
