With Mother’s Day right around the corner, now is the perfect time to update mom’s skincare routine! Check out these tips from Joanna and pick up a few items to share with the lady in your life.
Make Cleansing Simple
If you’re looking for a way to save time while still maintaining total skin health, try using the Joanna Vargas Cloud Bar (https://shop.joannavargas.com/collections/shop-all/products/cloud-bar) on your face and body in the shower. The Cloud Bar is made with Shea, Coconut and Chamomile to help with the skin’s natural process that breaks down skin cells, preventing dull, flaky skin without any harsh abrasives.
Exfoliate from Head to Toe
The average person sheds about 30,000 skin cells per minute, that’s almost 9 pounds of dead skin cells every year! To help slough off that top layer and reveal the healthier, smoother skin beneath, try dry brushing before you shower! Joanna Vargas’s Ritual Brush (https://shop.joannavargas.com/collections/picks-for-mom/products/ritual-brush) is key in helping skin attain its best glow, through invigorating the lymphatic system, the part of your body in charge of both the delivery of nutrients and carrying away waste from skin cells all over the body. Use this brush on dry skin before cleansing to enhance collagen production and activate exfoliation and glow.
Brighten and Soothe Skin Daily
They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but how about an orange? Keep your skin bright and fresh with a daily dose of Vitamin C Face Wash (https://shop.joannavargas.com/collections/face/products/vitamin-c-face-wash-50ml1-6oz) followed by our award-winning Rescue Serum. (https://shop.joannavargas.com/products/rescue-serum/) This non-drying face wash removes makeup and grime for a luminous complexion, while our Rescue Serum helps even out the skin tone, builds resilience and boosts radiance. Feeling like you need a little extra hydration? Mix a few drops of your Rescue Serum in with our Daily Hydrating Cream (https://shop.joannavargas.com/collections/face/products/daily-hydrating-cream-50ml1-6oz) for an extra moisture boost.
Look Well-Rested, Whether You Got Sleep or Not!
Let’s face it, we can’t always get the amount of sleep we want. To look well-rested even on your off days, try wearing our Bright Eye Firming Masks (https://shop.joannavargas.com/collections/picks-for-mom/products/bright-eye-firming-mask) on-the-go for an instant de-puffing effect. Not only do they work like magic, but they’re small enough to hide behind a pair of shades in the morning.

Can You Combine XERF with Botox, Filler, or Lasers?
Yes, XERF may be incorporated into a treatment plan with Botox or other neuromodulators, dermal fillers, biostimulatory injectables, lasers and selected ultrasound procedures. XERF uses noninvasive radiofrequency energy to heat tissue and support skin tightening, while neuromodulators address expression lines, fillers restore volume, and lasers may target pigmentation or texture. However, these treatments are not automatically safe to perform together or on the same day. Radiofrequency heating may affect certain existing fillers, and sequencing depends on the product, treatment area, settings and medical history. At Joanna Vargas in New York City, medically guided consultations help determine whether XERF belongs in a personalized approach to skin rejuvenation.

XERF vs. Thermage vs. Ultherapy: How They Compare
XERF and Thermage use monopolar radiofrequency energy to heat tissue and support collagen remodeling, while Ultherapy uses microfocused ultrasound with visualization to target selected tissue depths. XERF uses dual-frequency RF technology (6.78 MHz and 2 MHz), while Thermage FLX uses a single RF frequency of approximately 6.78 MHz. Ultherapy can target specific depths, including 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 mm, depending on the treatment area and protocol. All three are non-surgical options for selected skin-laxity concerns, but they differ in energy delivery, comfort, clinical evidence and treatment planning. No device is universally best; the right choice depends on your anatomy, skin laxity, goals and medical evaluation.

Why the DEJ Holds the Secret to Younger Skin
The dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ) is the structural foundation where the epidermis meets the dermis, and its deterioration drives visible aging. Clinical biopsy data from a 63-year-old male patient treated with E-50 Skin Booster after microneedling showed a 17% increase in rete ridge density, 52% increase in epidermal thickness, and 61% increase in basal keratinocyte density, demonstrating that targeted exosome delivery can restore the DEJ architecture that gives skin its density and firmness.
