E73: 3 Bad Habits I Abused of in My Twenties That Affected My Skin

Posted on by emiliegratton in Learn

We’ve all been there : not using SPF, not cleansing our skin properly, using Susie’s face cleansing brush right after her using it (ew..) you name it, I’ve heard it! Today, I wanted to share some of my “skin sins” that I’ve done in my teenage years, and twenties that have affected the look of my skin (in a negative way!)

The one good thing to know is that since our skin is an organ, it does have to capacity to repair itself when damage is happening. However, it keeps recurring that’s when the capacity of repair becomes less and less effective over time. The best way to prevent damage is to be aware of it before, and to be preventive with your daily habits.

Let’s see some one the damage:

  1. Sun beds & oil
  2. Junk food
  3. Falling asleep with a face full of makeup
  4. Using everyone’s products but my own

EEeek right?! Well, I didn’t realize it at time time either!

E70: How harsh skincare routines affect the health of your skin (and what they can look like!)

Posted on by emiliegratton in Skincare Routines

We all have different skin types – and yes, there are more than the 3 classic normal, combination and oily. Many sub conditions exist, and this is where seeing a skin professional will be UBER beneficial to you, as you won’t be testing and trialing different things and spending your hard earned money on trying to figure out what works for you. Now, we are consistently bombarded with strong actives such as retinol, vitamin C, AHAs, BHAs, and many start using them like it’s a form of water – every single day…!! Which is way to harsh for your moisture barrier, and can create silent (or even visible) inflammation within the skin. You may be doing a harsh routine and you’re not even aware of it. Let’s dive into it, shall we?

What you’ll learn:

  1. What a harsh routine consists of
  2. How it damages your skin
  3. The side effects on the health of the skin
  4. Examples of harsh habits and how you can fix them

E69: How to start using retinol the right way (and avoid irritation!)

Posted on by emiliegratton in Skin Concerns, Skincare Routines

Retinol or retinoids (which is the prescription form) is a common ingredient that is being used to reverse signs of accelerated aging. As we get older, our skin’s metabolism slows down, and we always have to find creative ways to keep the collagen and elastin cells up from their lazy boys in order to keep our skin healthy.

The downside of using this ingredient is that it’s not being properly used, and most times, irritation and dryness occurs as a side effect. Unfortunately, many use retinol as a “quick fix” but in reality, it’s an ingredient that needs to be used slowly at first to not shock the skin, and it takes TIME until this ingredient actually shows effect.

What you’ll learn:

  1. Popular forms of retinol
  2. Retinol and acne
  3. Retinol and preventive care for aging skin
  4. How to deal with the potential irritation of using this ingredient
  5. Things you HAVE to take into consideration before jumping on the retinol train
  6. Frequency of use

Products mentioned:

  1. Swiss Line Youth Booster
  2. Swiss Line Essential Serum
  3. Swiss Line Smart Rich Cream
  4. Swiss Line Peace Booster

E66: NEW SEASON 3 Redefining “ANTI-AGING”

Posted on by emiliegratton in Learn, Skin Concerns

Welcome to season 3!!

A much needed Summer break for new podcast ideas! We hope you’ve been taking the season well, having fun with your family and friends, and taking the time to push the reset button. After all, what’s the point of taking Summer holidays am I right?

Now, I wanted to launch this new season with a very important topic for me, redefining what “anti-aging” is, and what it stands for. I see SO many posts about women that are angry towards the marketing words of “stopping the aging cycle” – which I totally agree with. Instead, I think we should look into anti-aging with another perspective.

Products mentioned:

Colorescience Sunforgettable Brush On SPF50

E57: Tips to keep your pores looking smaller

Posted on by emiliegratton in Learn

Ahh the famous blackheads and pores. Many believe that products will get rid of them – this is absolutely false. Pores are there for a reason and you cannot remove them from your skin. If you didn’t have pores, your skin would not be able to bring your oils to the surface of the skin to protect itself. Pores are a group of tubes that bring the sebum to the surface of the skin for a specific reason: moisture barrier. Without oils, your skin would be DRY. Before your get discouraged, there are ways to make them APPEAR smaller:

  1. Treatments: Extractions
  2. One daily habit that will help your skin stay clean
  3. Exfoliation
  4. Hydration
  5. Why you should NOT use nose strips

E56: How to optimize your nighttime skincare routine for better results

Are you familiar with circadian rhythms? These are physical, mental, and behavioral changes that follow a 24-hour cycle. These natural processes respond primarily to light and dark (hello sunrise and sunset!) and affect us more than we believe.

With spring around the corner, do you feel like you’re seeing more age spots coming to the surface? Or those little spider veins just chilling on top of your skin? Well, say no more, and look towards the IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) as complete treatment for COLOR CORRECTION.

E47: How to retexturize larger pores, wrinkles and scars with Sublative Rejuvenation

Posted on by emiliegratton in Learn

If you have acne scarring or if the texture of your skin bothers you (fine lines, wrinkles, larger pores) this procedure is for you! The bi-polar RF targets directly the dermis, rejuvenating your collagen and fibroblast cells. Post treatment, new collagen and healthy skin cells are produced, reducing acne scars, mild to moderate wrinkles and superficial skin discolorations while creating smoother and more elastic skin texture. It’s quite an amazing treatment!!

What you’ll learn:
1. Causes for inflammation
2.  Signs of inflammation on the skin

E42: Rapid Aging & Environmental Damage

Posted on by emiliegratton in Learn

Did you know that rapid aging and environmental damage go hand in hand? When we talk about environmental damage, it doesn’t only revolve around UV rays, it actually includes air pollution, tobacco smoke, and all the other toxic chemicals that fly around in the air. These chemicals have the ability to stick on to the skin and transform healthy skin cells into free radicals, the famous ROGUE cell that destroys healthy cells in it’s path, while it attempts to find balance. Sounds crazy right? I invite you to listen to the latest podcast episode, where we go all in on getting a hold of environmental damage, a vital part of having a healthy skin foundation.
