Our Ultimate Skincare Product Guide: Sun Protection and Treatments
Skincare is a big part of what we do here at Vive. As the largest organ of the body, skin plays an incredibly important role in our health and well-being. Whether you’re ready to find a regimen that works or you’re interested in adding new products to your lineup, we can help! As a premier med spa in Denver, our experienced estheticians are here to guide you through any skincare concern. We carry products by premium brands Alastin and Epicutis, and offer solutions to help you cleanse, treat, hydrate, and protect. In part one of our favorite products series, we’re covering two of the most important tenets of skincare: sun protection and treatments. Here’s an overview of what our estheticians recommend:
Sun Protection
If you choose just one component of skincare to keep up with, sun protection is your best bet. In our sunny climate, it’s very easy for sun damage to occur. Sun protection should be a daily staple, and we carry excellent options to defend against UVA and UVB rays:
Alastin HydraTint Pro Mineral Sunscreen SPF 36: When selecting a sunscreen for daily use, aim for an SPF level above 15. This sunscreen offers SPF 36, which is ideal for protecting against both types of UV rays. It also provides a hint of tinted glowiness for your skin!
Alastin Silkshield All-Mineral Sunscreen: This product provides powerful protection plus added benefits. Its gentle, all-mineral formula blends in sheer and contains an exclusive peptide blend to offer anti-aging benefits. It’s great for all skin types, including sensitive, vulnerable, or post-cosmetic treatment skin.
Serums
If you want to bulk up your skincare routine, serums are a powerful option to have in your tool box. Here at Vive, we offer serums for a wide array of concerns. Here’s a look at our most effective treatments for home care:
Epicutis Lipid Serum: This serum is designed to fight collagen breakdown at the cellular level. It’s packed with a therapeutic concentration of Epicutis’s patented anti-inflammatory TSC, which offers instant relief for stressed skin.
Alastin HA Immerse Serum: As the 2022 winner of Oprah Daily’s Beauty O-Wards for Best Hydrating Serum, it’s no wonder that this product comes highly recommended by our skincare experts. This incredible serum helps to boost skin hydration the moment it’s applied, and is ideal for dehydrated, dry, or dull skin. Proprietary Octapeptide-45 is the powerhouse ingredient that aids skin’s ability to naturally increase high-molecular hyaluronic acid production.
Alastin C-Radical Defense: This serum contains a novel form of Vitamin C, plus 14 antioxidants. Its proprietary encapsulated novel form of Vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbate) helps to defend against free-radical damage while brightening skin and supporting the skin’s ability to conserve elastin.
Anti-Aging Treatments
Looking for treatments to improve the skin’s appearance and texture? In addition to the services we offer in our spa, we carry products to help you maintain results at home. The following options are our estheticians’ top recommendations for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles:
Alastin Regenerating Skin Nectar: If you’re looking for a product to support your skin ahead of cosmetic treatments, Alastin Regenerating Skin Nectar could be a great choice. It’s formulated with Arnica, Phytoene, Phytofluene, and Narigenin with Panthenyl Triacetate to enhance treatment outcomes and reduce recovery time. If you’ve been considering laser skin treatments such as IPL, chemical peels, or microneedling, this product may be one you need in your lineup.
Alastin Restorative Skin Complex: This treatment is excellent at combating visible signs of aging thanks to L-Ornithine and Hexapeptide 38. Its unique formulation targets thinning skin and works to improve tone and appearance. It’s also great for addressing fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity.
Alastin Restorative Eye Treatment: The delicate skin around the eyes is a common area of concern. If your goal is to smooth out and brighten this area, you’ll want to ask our estheticians about the Alastin Restorative Eye Treatment. Its TriHex Technology supports the production of healthy elastin and collagen to reduce puffiness and dark circles.
Alastin Restorative Neck Complex: The neck is another common area of concern. If you’re looking for a treatment that has skin-tightening properties, ask us about the Alastin Restorative Neck Complex. This treatment can be a game-changer for crepey skin, fine lines, and discoloration. This product deeply hydrates the delicate area between the chin and chest, often leading to younger-looking skin.
When you take care of your skin, it will take care of you! Creating a skincare regimen doesn’t have to be complicated, and our med spa in Denver welcomes you to explore the world of skincare. We offer all of the products highlighted here in our spa, and our estheticians are always happy to discuss other options with you.
