As luxurious as it can be, the cost of medspa visits can rack up fast.
Thankfully there are ways to feel pampered, and enjoy youthful, radiant skin without a massive credit card bill.
Here are 5 ingredients that allow you to enjoy the same ‘radiant skin’ benefits of a medspa trip from the comfort of home:
#1. Enjoy Botox-Like Results Without Painful Injections
Instead of getting stabbed by needles for a temporary lift, try using topicals that contain the peptide Matrixyl Synthe-6.
This peptide is a form of protein, which acts as building blocks for collagen. And as you know, collagen is key for keeping your skin supple and springy.
What’s more, you can expect to see results fast. As clinical studies show that Matrixyl Synthe-6 offers a visible improvement to the skin’s appearance in as little as 2 weeks..
#2. Watch Your Skin Glow Without Abrasive Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a popular spa treatment for giving your skin a lovely glow. As you may know, dermaplaning involves using a sterile surgical blade to gently scrape off the top layer of dead skin cells.
But can you see the problem here?
Scraping off your skin like this can scratch your skin’s delicate surface — which can lead to irritation and breakouts.
Instead of sanding your skin away, try using topicals with glycolic and/or lactic acid.
Glycolic acid stimulates your skin to create more collagen and elastin, for firm yet bouncy skin. While lactic acid acts like your skin's natural moisturizer. Its hydrating properties help your skin improve texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving your skin a fresh and hydrated glow.
#3. Unveil A Youthful Complexion Without Costly Hydrafacial
Hydrafacials serve many purposes: Cleaning your pores, removing dead skin cells, moisturizing, and delivering nutrients to your skin.
The result?
Hydrafacial leaves skin hydrated, plump, glowing, and revitalized. Which is great… but crazy expensive.
One treatment can easily cost $300 or more.
But at home, you can achieve similar results by using a Vitamin C extract.
When applied to your skin each morning, Vitamin C can help protect against free radicals, brighten your skin, and fight skin aging.
In as little as a few weeks, your skin will feel rejuvenated, and look radiant.
#4. Swap The Microneedling For Argireline
Just like it sounds, microneedling uses tiny needles to prick your skin in a controlled way.. The idea is that during the healing process, your skin forms new collagen proteins.
However, at Sun Coast we are strongly against microneedling. Even professionals can’t hand on heart say the procedure is effective.
Thankfully there’s a safer, less painful and more affordable option...
To firm and tighten your skin at home, look for products containing Argireline. This ingredient fades the appearance of skin lines and wrinkles in a very similar way to Botox.
#5. Luxuriate In Supple Skin Without Microdermabrasion
The name "microdermabrasion " says all you need to know: The diamond tip chips away the outer layer of your precious skin!
So if you want supple skin texture, improved tone, and fresh glow, look for products containing hyaluronic acid (HA) instead.
HA helps your skin attract and hold onto moisture like nothing else, which results in a beautiful lift and plump cheeks—without sanding off your skin.
Now I have one more important thing to say...
If you’re suffering from a clinical skin problem, don’t play games with your skin — it may only worsen your condition.
That being said, if you want to pamper yourself and help your skin glow, go ahead and look for skin care products containing the five natural, safe and effective ingredients shared in this article.
Which, you may not be surprised to know, are found in Sun Coast Sciences’ world class formulas.
This includes our flagship topical which helps to reverse 4 signs of aging at once, and provides visible, touchable results in 14 days:
