Microdermabrasion is a fundamental step in skin care and if done consistently will give you luminous skin. This is a gentle procedure that will overtime make your skin look younger, healthy and glowing.

And this is why I use it in every single one of my facials as a fundamental step to beautiful skin!

Microdermabrasion has been around since ancient Egypt and has been greatly refined since then but in essence it has the same basic principle behind it.

The action of exfoliating the skin will cause the skin’s healing mechanism to trigger thus stimulating collagen and elastin. These two proteins are vital for youthful and vibrant skin.

This is why so many spas offer it. However, I use it in conjunction with other equally powerful components that magnify its effects like, microcurrent, LED light therapy and so on.

Therefore revitalizing dull skin, reducing large pores, erasing fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars and mild pigment irregularities.

Exfoliating at home will have similar benefits if done consistently with your skin care routine. Normally it should never be done more than twice a week, once if you have sensitive skin.

At home care, in between facials, helps to remove makeup, dirt, surface impurities and dead skin that can cause the skin to clog and cause breakouts.

You must do this action, either at home or here at the salon, if you want healthy skin with an unmatched glow. And who doesn’t right?

You can always call Joanna Vargas Skin Care in New York city with any skin care concerns. If you want to know how microdermabrasion works come in for a complementary consultation. Please call us at 212/949.2350 or email us at, salon@joannavargas.com.

You deserve Clean, Clear and Glowing Skin! Do you Agree? Then read on.

Everyone wants skin that’s clear as a bell but most people don’t know how or why they can’t have it. There are many factors but since they can be so numerous we won’t touch upon them.

Instead, lets concentrate on the basics of skin care and if applied, I promise, you will have clear and glowing skin. This is something I know you want, Right?

My first mantra in skin care is, and it encompasses all I do in skin care, CONSISTENCY!

Consistency in your skin care routine is crucial for healthy and glowing skin. This is just like going to the gym or eating healthy. If you stop it, it won’t be long before you’ll see the bad results of it.

So the first step to glowing skin that you must do consistently is to use a cleanser at night. Wash your face and remove make-up, dirt, grime and the pollution of the day.

This will immediately improve the health of your skin, How?

Your body repairs itself at night time and if you have make-up and other grime on your face, it will have a hard time fulfilling that function for the skin on your face.

Therefore, consistently use a gentle wash for your nightly routine and see the difference it can make in your skin, deal?

I also, want to recommend one of my most favorite cleansers, ILA Cleansing Milk for Natural Beauty. The moment you open the bottle, you will smell the wonderful purity of the ingredients in this cleanser. It Contains the super rich antioxidant, Argan Oil. Each of my clients swears by this cleanser and you will too once you use it.

This cleanser is both soothing and deeply cleansing. It contains no alcohol, so its great for even the driest of skin.

I find it really helps to heal the ravages of the environment on the skin and leaves you with a radiant glow.

Call Joanna Vargas Salon in New York City for any questions or to make your appointment at 212/949.2350.
