Sunshine and summertime — our favorite time of year! It’s a time we all get to shed those layers, get outside, enjoy warm nights, and head out for that long-awaited vaycay. While you start getting rid of those cold-weather layers, you might notice your skin needs a little extra TLC. You might think moisturizer is the answer, and while you’re not wrong, it’s time to EXFOLIATE.
Yes, that’s right. Summer is actually a great time to exfoliate. You might think exfoliating under the heat and aggression of the summer sun is unsafe, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Adding a good, gentle exfoliating product to your body’s skin care routine will actually give you that summer glow and extra boost you’ve been trying to get.
Why exfoliate?
Exfoliating gets rid of that layer of dead cells that lays upon the surface of your skin. Those dead cells can make it more difficult for your skin to fully soak in all the juicy, important ingredients your skin needs to stay healthy. Without proper help, your skin can visually appear dull, dry, and damaged. Exfoliation creates the full pathways for all your skincare products to do what they’re meant to do inside and out.
The increased heat and humidity ramps up your skin’s oil production. With the extra oil, your pores are more likely to attract dirt, bacteria, makeup, and excessive moisture. Removing that layer makes it easier for your products to cleanse and penetrate those pores to get rid of all that junk that causes breakouts and inflammation.
What does that mean for your skin?
All of us have different skin types that require its own unique care. Whether you have normal, oily, dry, or combination skin, exfoliation is vital in maintaining your skin’s health and natural glow. Not all products are created equal, and while some products work well with all skin types, the trial-and-error part of skin care is trying and difficult.
Depending on your skin type, job, and lifestyle, what works for one person may not work for you. Luckily, any product using our Fear-Free Peel™ technology works on most skin types and lifestyles, and our Skin Coaches can guide you to the absolute best one for you and your skincare goals.
The Skin Authority Fear-Free Peel™
Our brand is based on the fact that all are deserving of healthy, happy skin. It shouldn’t be impossible to find a product that works for your skin type. Having skin troubles is already difficult enough! Skin Authority’s Innovations have been specially researched, tested, and created into must-have, game-changing products that give your skin the chance to be the best it can be. Healthy exfoliation is no exception, either.
Our Fear-Free Peel technology offers up the benefits of AHA or retinoid exfoliation without harsh effects or redness caused by inflammation, harsh acids, formaldehyde, or resorcinol. This innovation uses the power of sugarcane or Vitamin A to gently (yet powerfully) transform and unveil a smooth, youthful glow any time of year.
Resurfacing Accelerator
This gel uses gentle exfoliants to increase the speed of cell turnover, transforming your skin for a firmer, smoother, and more radiant appearance without causing any additional, excess stress to your skin’s balance. Because who wants extra stress during the summer? Not us.
Brightening Serum
This cream uses naturally derived spot suppressors, peptides, and exfoliators to help fade hyperpigmentation, redness, and damage. It’s an amazing upgrade from our previous Hyperpigmentation Treatment.
Clarifying Liquid Peel
Gentle for all skin types, this leave-on, pore-clearing peel treatment diminishes congestion and blackheads, smooths uneven texture, and softens fine lines without drying out your skin. We’re not saying this is better than your current toner … but the results speak for themselves.
Vitamin A Cell Renewal
Vitamin A Cell Renewal is a high concentration retinyl palmitate cream – a gentler form of retinol – that boosts cell turnover and moisture to restore volume and density depleted by aging and environmental aggressors. Yes, it’s basically the Fountain of Youth in a bottle.
Night Revitalizer
While you rest, let Skin Authority do the hard work. While you sleep, hydrating botanicals and gentle AHAs combine to smooth the appearance of fine lines and brighten dull looking skin. Talk about a good night’s sleep.
Illuminating Body Peel Cream
This VitaD Fortified™ leave-on body peel moisturizes while it exfoliates, helping reduce the appearance of skin imperfections and revealing soft, smooth skin. You’ll have that hydrated head-to-toe glow all summer long.
Instant Perfection Peel Pads
These single-use pads exfoliate are saturated with an ultra pure glycolic acid solution to kill surface bacteria and smooth your skin without dryness or irritation, leaving you with perfectly smooth and prepped skin for peak skin care performance and seriously flawless makeup application (if that’s your thing).
Plus, if you’re looking to take your skin to that extra level of deep nourishment, SkinSuit™ paired with our Fear-Free Peel™ technology can work together to eradicate free-radical damage by up to 245%. By day, your skin will be working to protect AND nourish while your nighttime exfoliation can help work to fix that damage and create a clearer pathway for those nutrients to continue their work.
So when we say “Fear Free,” we really mean it. You can have healthy skin without the worry of harsh chemicals or the risk of burning. Even then, we understand it can be stressful to find a good exfoliator, so our Skin Coaches are always ready to talk with you and guide you to what feels right and will give your skin the love it deserves.
