This may be repeated since I know I posted this but I can't find it anywhere. I am therefore reposting this question in case it did not actually post the first time.
I have 2 clients using Pevonia retinal line. One for severe milia and one for scarring due to acne as a kid. Both love it but want to try skin scripts. Which home care products would you recommend? I'm new to skin scripts. Thank you
The first time you sent a message to the group and there was no way to reply to your message, so that's why you didn't get an answer.
For acne scarring, I have attached a protocol that has worked well for me.
For milia, I suggest the Ageless Skin Hydrating Serum used twice a day, everyday, for 8 weeks. This explanation is probably way more than you wanted, but it helps you understand the root cause of milia.
Milia: We have bi-layers in our skin. They are made up of oil and water. We’re supposed to have the proper balance of oil and water among our skin. A lot of us are walking around with not enough water in our skin. One reason is we don’t drink enough water to get enough water from our dermis. Another reason is that we live in a dry environment where there could be a lot of trans-epidermal water loss. Think about the “main” area you see milia – it’s the eye area, right? It’s thin tissue/skin and trans-epidermal water loss could be great in those areas. If we walk around with a lack of water in our skin, the oil will start to crystallize into milia.
We have the Ageless Skin Hydrating Serum. Number 1 – it is a hyaluronic acid serum to bind more water topically. It also has an ingredient called sphinolipids – this ingredient will bind or emulsify the oil and water in our skin to create a bond to hold more water to create that proper balance of oil and water.
If your client has milia, have her start using the Ageless Skin Hydrating Serum morning and night. The next time you see your client (hopefully 4 weeks later), the milia should be much easier to extract. The next time you see your client (a total of 8 weeks later), the milia should begin to resolve itself and go away.
This Ageless Hydrating Serum also works great for acneic skin. We have natural enzymes (glycosidase and proteases) among our skin cells that that break apart desmosomes to allow for the natural shedding of our skin cells. If we are walking around with low water among our skin cells, we are going to have cells that stick together and not desquamate, hence acne or excess keratinization. I believe one of the first and foremost jobs as an estheticians is to kick in the natural exfoliation rate and that will include the Ageless Hydrating Serum.
