Don't waste money with over the counter products. Talk with our staff about using real products with documented results.
By Mary Brooks APRN, Couture Med Spa Winter Park
Whether we like it or not, the words Coronavirus and COVID19 are a huge part of our vocabulary today. For many of us, that means that our regular facials, med spa services, or beauty upkeep appointments are all on hold. Although we are social distancing and most of us are on lockdown, that doesn't mean we have to sit back and allow our self-care regimen to regress. There are many things that we can be doing at home to keep up a flawless look. Let's face it; we should all have a daily, healthy-skincare routine. If you don't have a routine in place, then this article is for you.
Don't waste money on over the counter (OTC) beauty products with only a sprinkle of active ingredients, purchase from a medical spa or facility for medical-grade products with ingredients that actually work. There are so many claims thrown around by OTC beauty products that have little to no impact on their active properties. "Voted #1 most moisturizing retinol cream" or "formulated with OUR highest concentration of hyaluronic acid"—sound familiar? Don't focus on what's written in large print on the cover. Instead, look at the small print on the back and see how much of the active ingredient is being used.
