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

Posted on by Meta Esthetique 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 Meta Esthetique 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

We can finally feel the warmer season coming to us! The days are getting longer, the sun feels warmer and the nature around us is coming back to the lush green that we all love.

What’s the best way to transition into the warmer season?

  1. How the skin changes in the warmer weather

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

Posted on by Meta Esthetique in Skincare Routines

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. This also affects the way our skin behaves – at night time, our skin plunges into “repair and regeneration” mode. So how do we optimize our routine during the evening? Well, we’ll get into:

  1. The adjustment at night time of your “internal clock”
  2. What your skin is doing at night
  3. Ingredients to utilize at nighttime

Ideal nighttime products:

Are you someone who gets regular injections? Whether it’s Botox or Fillers, these procedures are indeed an investment (any skin procedure for that matter!) so you want to make sure you are using proper skincare at home to prolong the life of your fillers and-or Botox. Many can believe that you don’t necessarily need to use proper skincare, but without it, the life of your injectables will be much shorter. Using topicals are a huge game changer and I will explain why:

  1. The difference between neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport) and Fillers
  2. The effects of topicals on the life of your injectables
  3. An example of a basic routine to keep up your injectables’ life
