With a plethora of choices it is difficult to know where to start. Finding a clinical skin care professional that is experienced and knowledgeable can be challenging. A good clinical esthetician will not only guide you to the proper skin care regimen for home use, but will also lead you to results oriented services that bring real improvements to the look, feel and health of your skin. Nothing feels better than knowing you are putting your best face forward to a prospective employer.

Three less expensive procedures that bring a big bang for the buck are:

Deep Pore Cleansing Treatments: not only refresh the skin but literally clean the pores. Not all deep pore cleansing facials are equal. Many estheticians will say they do extractions or clean pores when in reality most of the time is spent rubbing on and removing product. Though this feels good, it is like going to your dental hygienist and only having your teeth polished and skipping the essential part of the treatment. Deep pore cleansing treatments include gentle extractions to remove clogged pores, unsightly blemishes, clear the skin and help control future clogged pores and breakouts.

Microdermabrasion: is another good choice for brightening the skin and exfoliating dead cells. A fine, controlled spray of crystals removes the outer layer of the skin, accelerating your own skin cell turn over, revealing the younger, tighter, healthier skin underneath. Microdermabrasion is usually a 30 minute procedure that is safe for all skin types and colors. Many people immediately notice improvements in the texture and appearance of their skin after just the first treatment. For a more aggressive treatment, light acids may be added to the procedure for greater results.

Chemical Peels: address skin damage caused by aging, accumulated sun exposure, acne, and acne scarring. They also are used to reduce and remove melasma, a skin condition that is characterized by brown patches that are irregularly shaped and occur commonly on the face and neck. Chemical peels are also performed on hands, arms, legs, chest and back. Light peels are the mildest of the chemical peels and include alphahydroxy acids or betahydroxy acids. They burn off the outer layers of the skin to smooth out fine lines, wrinkles and rough/dry skin. They also improve texture, skin pigmentation and may diminish acne scars. These peels are repeated often to achieve the desired results.

Home care regimens: are crucial to maintaining the results of your treatments. A knowledgeable skin care professional will not only assist in choosing the most results oriented services for your skin, but will also make recommendations for at home skin care products. Because each skin is different, she will have a variety of products to choose from. The products may, or may not be from the same skin care line but should be a combination of products with active ingredients that meet the needs of your individual skin.
