Skin Care Expert Shares Secrets

Q: What do you like about working at North Scottsdale Laser & Skin Care Clinic?
A: I love the passion we have as a clinic to further inspire our patients to better their skin. Also, I love that we can see our patients really boost their self-esteem with the positive outcome we achieve seeing them every month.
Q: As an Arizona native, what are your secrets for having great skin all year long?
A: I make sure to use sunscreen all year long. Using the tinted Total Defense and Repair from SkinMedica, I see to it that I protect my skin while also getting various antioxidants, enhancing the vibrancy of my skin and protecting it at the same time.
Q: What is your favorite skin care product?
A: My favorite skin care product would have to be Lytera by SkinMedica. It brightens my skin and keeps all future and current sun damage or pigmentation at bay. I feel like I’m glowing every morning after putting this product on my face!
Q: Do you recommend exfoliation? When should this treatment be done?
A: I absolutely recommend exfoliation! It’s one of the best skin care tips. Exfoliation is the best way to promote cellular turnover and prevent excess skin buildup. Exfoliating your skin twice a week is the best way to achieve a steady turnover of the skin. Also, coming into the clinic for a more intense exfoliation, such as microdermabrasion or dermaplaning, every 3 to 4 weeks is highly recommended.
Q: What is one piece of advice that you tell all of your clients?
A: I always tell my patients the 80-20 rule! As an aesthetician, I can only achieve 20% of getting your skin on track, but as your skin care therapist, I need the other 80% of the work done by you and your at-home regimen! With your help, we can get you exactly where you want to be with your skin.
