Plastic Surgery Medical Spa Director Reveals Beautiful Skin Secrets

Lisa Chrysanthou, Director of Aesthetic Training at Blue Water Spa in Raleigh, North Carolina tells Skin Inc. Magazine in the February 2004 issue that a chemical-free sunblock with full spectrum protection applied daily is necessary for healthy, youthful skin. "Sun Protection is vital every day", says Chrysanthou, "However, following a resurfacing treatment like microdermabrasion or a chemical peel, full spectrum protection is imperative." At Blue Water Spa, a chemical free sunblock with SPF 58 is used on each client. Because the Blue Water Spa Rx sunblock is chemical-free, it is safe following peels, microdermabrasion, laser treatments, enzyme peels or any exfoliating procedures.

Many individuals think about sunblock only when at the beach or in a swimsuit, when in fact, much sun damage takes place without people even realizing it. Often individuals will have far more sun damage on the left side of their face than the right. This is because UV rays are penetrating the skin even while driving. Another reason many people don't use a sunblock regularly is a concern of breaking out or experiencing skin irritation. A sunblock without chemicals will not cause breakouts, and won't irritate the skin.

A combination of physical U.V. blockers, titanium oxide and zinc oxide provides sun protection from both UVA and UVB rays. Sun protection products relying on chemicals, like octyl methoxycinnamate provide protection only from UVB rays. UVB rays are the burning rays, but UVA rays are responsible for aging the skin and can contribute to skin cancer.

Blue Water Spa offers complimentary skin care consultations and samples of Blue Water Spa Rx sun protection.
