It's Summertime!

Ladies and Gentleman, Summertime is officially here!  As exciting as it is to have the Summer Sun among us, there are those important things that we need to do, to care for our skin as it's exposed to the UV rays that accompany the glorious sunshine.

For one, it's a no brainer that we need plenty of water consumption to keep us hydrated throughout the day.  As great as it is to do this for not only our body, it's also incredibly beneficial for our skin as well.  Often times though, we find ourselves busy from the day to day activities and in the midst of it, we've neglected to give our bodies the hydration it so desperately needs.  So what do you do?  Find a water bottle that you won't mind toting around with you.  For me, since I carry a red purse, it only seemed right to find a RED metal water bottle to sport around with me.  I'm staying fashionable and hydrated, I Love It!

Apart from what you do internally to care for your skin, there are those handy skin care products that are always excellent to have around, when you're doing your best to care for and nurture your skin.  At Affinity Skin Clinic, we have just the products that will not only protect your skin throughout the summer, but also give it the hydration that keeps your skin healthy!

Cosmedix "Hydrate +" is an excellent daily moisturizer that not only keeps the skin moisturized, but it also has an SPF 17 that will shield your face from harmful UV rays.  Needing a bit more protection on that face of yours, no worries, Cosmedix has you covered.  Try their "Serious Protection" to keep your face covered with an SPF 28, the ultimate shield while out in the sun.

If a cream is not what you're looking for, try Cosmedix's "Reflect" a "Natural Sunscreen" with an SPF 30.  This handy sunscreen comes in a spray form and is a convenient way to keep you protected while on the go.  For hydration, Cosmedix "Mystic" also comes in a spray form and is great to use in the morning or even throughout the day.  Worried about keeping your skin moisturized, but you're not wanting to remove your makeup, no problem, "Mystic" can even be sprayed directly over your makeup!

Alright, there you are, now there's no excuse to not care for your skin this summer!  Remember that doing these simple things can help give you lasting results, so it's important to care for your skin now.  Drinking lots of water, eating the right foods, keeping up with a daily skin regimen and getting your facials are essential when keeping that skin healthy and protected!  We look forward to always having you here with us at the clinic, so if you're not sure what type of skin regimen you should be doing, come by and let us know and we'll  be glad to show you the right products that will care for your specific skin needs!

To Facial or Not To Facial??

With the Summer time here, one thing that we can often neglect is our skin.  Think about it, you're out at the lake, you're running to and fro from one sporting event, or errand to the next.  And while we all enjoy the warmth that the sun so generously provides, what we can forget is that our skin needs to be cared for in the midst of it all.

You may be familiar with sun protection and the many SPF's out on the market, however you may wandering whether or not it's still a good time to care for that skin of yours by getting a facial?  While SPF's are important, they're not all that is needed when nurturing your face.  Getting your monthly facial is imperative to keep your skin in shape and maintaining your healthy glow.

Here at Affinity, we offer several facials to accommodate your skin care needs.  For those of you who regularly care for your face and want to stay on top of things by keeping up with your facial regimen, our "Basic Facial" is one that will keep your skin healthy.

The Basic Facial is the foundation of all our facials.  It allows for your skin to be deeply cleansed, along with the proper exfoliation, while you relax and enjoy an aromatherapy treatment.  You will leave with your skin feeling and looking both rejuvenated and healthy.  This is the perfect option for someone who receives regular skin care from one of our aestheticians!

When looking for the right facial, our team is always ready and available to help.  Feel free to call us at the clinic at 530.245.0404 to have your questions answered.

So when you're trying to decide..."To Facial or Not To Facial?", the answer..."YES! To Facial!"

Happy Anniversary Affinity!!
