« Sarah St Pierre Starting Microcurrent in Your Early 30s At the age of 25, you may notice the first signs of aging. Fine lines appear first, then wrinkles, and the skin experiences a loss of volume and elasticity overtime. This is all completely normal and part of the aging process, however, there are some treatments that you can do to combat these early signs of aging. One of these treatments is microcurrent. What happens to the skin during your early 30s? To understand how microcurrent works to reverse signs of aging, it is important to learn about what happens to the skin during the aging process, specifically in your early 30s. During this time, cell turnover beings to slow down and skin recovers less easily from inflammation. Collagen and elastin start to breakdown faster while also producing less. The natural skin plumping sugar known as hyaluronic acid also starts to decrease. You may also notice more forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, under-eye bags and more prominent laugh lines as you enter your 30s. As we age, our muscles become accustomed to certain expressions and tend to get stuck in these positions. At the same time, other muscles in our face are hardly ever used, and they begin to atrophy, which leads to sagging. As we age, skin cells become less active, which leads to a breakdown of collagen and elastin. All these changes can come as a shock at first because in those earlier years, it seemed much easier to maintain that healthy, glowing skin. But aging skin can return to that with the help of a microcurrent treatment series! Microcurrent acts as a non-surgical face lift As stated in previous blogs, this treatment is the most effective non-surgical way to take years off the face. But how? There are 32 different muscles of the face that are targeted during a microcurrent treatment. The treatment works to lift, smooth, tighten and tone these different areas of the face. Probes are used to physically move the muscle into the desired position to perform muscle re-education. This process is responsible for lengthening and shortening the muscles which helps retrain the muscles to maintain this new contour. Microcurrent facials are beneficial on their own but achieve best results when done in a series. Because microcurrent re-educates the muscle tissue, it is crucial to keep up with maintenance. On top of the benefits, the treatment is pain free, requires no downtime, and is known to be a relaxing experience. contact Teresa today to schedule an appointment or quick evaluation! 603.595.0224 » Clinical, Vegan, Natural, Organic and Non GMO beauty brands for face and body.

Teresa Paquin Sensitive Skin and Inflammation Sensitive Skin and Skin Inflammation Are you someone who suffers from sensitive skin? If so, you’re not alone. In fact, according to a study done by Miranda Farage, 70% of the population possess the characteristics that fall under sensitive skin. Sensitive skin can affect you in several different ways. It can be itchy, inflamed, or red, just to name a few. While sensitive skin is more difficult to deal with, there are fortunately many ways to avoid sensitive skin inflammation. Before we get into that, let's first talk about the different things that can happen to sensitive skin and why they happen. Facial Redness Since every person’s skin is different, there isn’t one universal fix for redness of the face. The most common reason that your face can look red is acne. But that isn’t the only reason for facial redness. Rosacea is a skin condition that leads to redness and sometimes pimples on the face. This condition is often mistaken for acne but can be triggered by anything from hot temperatures to foods that have that extra kick in there. Another condition that causes facial redness is eczema. This is when the skin shows up as red, itchy, and dry. Although the cause of this is still unknown, studies have found that gut health and stress can have something to do with it. Contact dermatitis also causes facial redness, and this is when you have an allergic reaction to something that you applied directly onto your skin. And lastly, over-exfoliation can make your skin appear to be red and raw. Avoiding Facial Redness The best advice about controlling facial redness is knowing your triggers. That way, you can avoid those things as best you can. Some more tips to reduce facial redness include: Wearing sunscreen Keeping your skin care routine simple Exfoliating sparingly What to do when you are experiencing redness While there are ways to prevent redness, no one’s skin is perfect, and redness does still happen. By using products that contain soothing ingredients you can give your skin some relief. Any products that contain niacinamide, allantoin, caffeine, licorice root, chamomile, aloe, and cucumber can aid in reducing redness. If you can pinpoint a specific product in your routine that could be causing irritation, it is best to stop using that product and pay attention to any differences in your skin. Facial redness differs from person to person, and while a little red skin never hurts anyone, it is important that you are actively taking note of what normal redness looks like for you. Facial icing, using a ice facial ice roller on and offer for a few minutes also can take down redness and inflammation. Make sure you never leave it stationary in one spot-, always keep it moving and stop if area becomes numb. Mirabella make a wonderful ice roller, easily sanitized and has a extra roller head for quick changes. If your redness is starting to look out of the ordinary, you should talk to a professional.
