If you are one of the many women and men who have decided on laser resurfacing for younger looking skin, you know from conversations with your doctor that post laser skin care is very important to achieve the best results. You will have to avoid the sun, but most importantly, there are changes to your skin care routine as it pertains to products that you should and should not use after laser treatments. Your skin is in a very sensitive state after laser treatments, so it is wise to use products meant for sensitive skin which do not contain ingredients like perfumes, dyes, alcohols, or other irritants. If the right products are not used, you could end up with results you are not happy with! Immediately after a laser treatment, your skin will likely be pinkish or reddish and even slightly inflamed. In the days following the treatments, your skin will become a more intense shade of red which is often accompanied by fluid build-up and some crusting of the skin. Besides lots of rest and staying out of the sun, Skin Rx suggests the following products:

• Skin Recovery Crème – This moisturizer is meant to cool, soothe, and repair your facial skin after laser treatments. It contains Aloe, Linden Extract, Echinacea, and Vitamin K. It actually works to repair broken capillaries and bruising.
• Willowherb Soothing Serum – This wonderful serum contains a powerful moisturizer, Hyaluronic Acid, as well as Ginko Biloba, Aloe, and Vitamin K. It aids in calming and healing the skin and works well in combination with the Skin Recovery Crème.
• Vital C – If you want to maintain the results you achieved with your laser treatments, try Vital C. This serum is highly effective against aging with antioxidants to protect from sun damage and other environmental factors.

Do you feel like your skin is constantly irritated or dry or itchy – or is it just always something when it comes to your skin? You are not alone - sensitive skin is a common problem! If you aren’t sure whether or not you have sensitive skin, take our quiz to find out:

1. Does your skin show a reaction to common over-the-counter lotions, creams, or fragrances?
2. Does your skin often get red or blotchy?
3. Is your skin prone to allergic reactions?
4. Does your skin have a low tolerance for heat, cold, wind, or pollution?
5. Is your skin irritated by certain types of clothing or fabrics?

If you answered yes to at least two of these questions, it is highly likely that you have sensitive skin. This is a condition which requires special care and the use of certain products to make your skin as comfortable as possible. And as we transition from summer to autumn, now is the perfect time to re-evaluate your skin care needs as they change with the seasons. As the weather gets colder, sensitive skin tends to get drier - so make sure you are using the right sensitive skin products for the season! Skin Rx has a serum which works wonders to calm and soothe sensitive skin. Willowherb Soothing Serum calms irritation and redness and doubles as a moisturizer which is free from perfumes, dyes, fragrance, and alcohol. In addition, Skin Rx has a super gentle cleanser, Arnica Facial Wash, which is great for highly sensitive or very dry skin. Also great for your sensitive skin is the Skin Recovery Creme, a lightweight moisturizer that soothes, heals, and repairs with ingredients including Vitamin K, Echinacea, Linden Extract, and Aloe. If you are looking for a new makeup for your sensitive skin that will not cause irritation or breakouts, try Skin Rx's Ultra Sensitive Mineral makeup products which are all natural and provide sun protection.

Sun damage is caused by over exposure to harmful UV rays and repeatedly getting a sunburn. Though we all want to look good, and sometimes this means looking tan as opposed to looking pale, it is important to enjoy the sun in moderation and with the right sun protection.

The treatment is painless and allows you to continue your daily routine just as you normally would without any downtime.

Lentigines often go by more common names like “liver spots”, “brown spots”, or “age spots”. They are not caused by age or by anything to do with your liver or your age, though. These brown spots are skin discolorations which are caused by sun damage.

I am 61 years old. I consider my skin "dry". I use the glycolic peels already. I want to purchase other products but am confused as to what to get.

What shade would be the best for me as foundation?

What is difference from say bare minerals and the mineral formulas now sold at drug store?

I am interested in getting a product that will help reduce lines in the face as well as providing collagen, as well as giving an even skin color as well as giving moisture to the face.
