Protect Your Skin in The Sun

Living in South Florida, we reap the benefits of beautiful beaches, great weather, and lots of fun in the sun. However, while all that fun in the sun makes life a lithe more pleasant it can do quite a number on your skin. Minus Sol, however, provides the type of sun protection that allows you to not only have fun in the sun but also gives your skin a soft and supple feeling that you will love.

Minus Sol provides you with luxurious water and sweat protection in a silky smooth cream with a beautiful powdery, velvety finish. Where does this smoothy silkiness come from? It comes from the enhanced chitosan that is added to the base of the formula.

Chitosan:

              – it improves skin tolerance towards the sunscreen

              – protects the skin against drying

              – decreases the washing out of UV filters due to water or sweating.

How does Chitosan decrease the washing out of UV filters? Chitosan increases film thickness on the skin, thereby, decreasing the amount of UV light absorbed by the skin, and essentially enhancing SPF. This is a big deal when you consider the amount of sun we get on a daily basis living in South Florida. While you may think it’s not that big of a deal, overtime, unprotected exposure can really really wreak havoc on your skin causing damage and accelerating the aging process.

In addition, Minus Sol is oil-free, non-comedogenic and specifically designed for sensitive skin. This is a big plus for a lot of us who worry about applying anything on our skin that could clog it and introduce break-outs, especially on our face. Minus Sol can be used all over your body as well and is safe enough to use on children as young as 6 months old.

Using Minus Sol is quite simple. All you have to do is apply a small amount of Minus-Sol to the desired area 30 minutes prior to sun exposure. Make sure to apply evenly, using enough to cover the desired area. Don’t worry, though, when it comes to Minus Sol a little goes a long way! For optimum protection, you’re going to want to re-apply Minus Sol every 80 minutes or as needed depending on your sun protection needs.

So if you’re looking to go out and spend some time out on the beach or if you find yourself out in the sun a lot, come in to Vida Spa and grab the luxurious protection that only Minus Sol can provide. Trust us your skin will thank you for it!

Anti-Aging: Tip #11

Anti-aging Tip #11:
Facials are Fun and Fundamental
  You don’t need a salon facial for good skin care, but it may help to make your skin look smoother, brighter, more supple, and taut. You will also find them to be relaxing and rewarding. A european facial at My VIDA Spa & Wellness Center includes deep cleansing and exfoliating, extractions if necessary, application of serums, facial massage, specialty masks, and other finishing products to meet your skin’s immediate needs with long lasting effects. We carry several medical and natural skin care products. As no two skins are exactly the same, every facial is different and no two people will have the same exact facial. As it is our skin changes from time to time, so you may not receive the same facial you may have had previously as we treat the specific needs of your skin every single time. Call us to book your appointment at 305.663.1402 for a holistic relaxing experience. You deserve it!

Anti-Aging: Tip #7

Anti-aging Tip #7:
Reveal a Fresh Layer of Skin
This tip is a great follow up for tip #6 of exfoliating. Some skin care products have ingredients that get rid of dead cells to uncover the brighter, fresher skin underneath. For example, acne medicines and anti-aging products may have salicylic acid or retinoids. Using these products helps to get through all the dead skin cells to the fresh layer of skin below. Another way to slough off dead cells would be to get microdermabrasion or a chemical peel. Both are available at My Vida Spa and Wellness Center and in at-home formulas. What’s the difference? While at-home formulas will work, they will not provide a big difference, whereas with a procedure done with a clinical specialist the results are more obvious and in-depth . Call us at (305) 663 -1402 and make your appointment with our clinical skin care specialist for radiant beautiful skin results.
