As we age, accumulated damage from UV radiation and other age-related stressors drain the skin’s pool of renewal cells or stem cells, and depletes them of collagen. They no longer divide normally leaving the skin thinner and more fragile.
A stem cell facial treatment is an advanced collagen induction therapy treatment that infuses a serum filled with stem cells, growth factors, peptides, antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, vitamins, and more. There is little to no downtime with this procedure.
Benefits of this transformational procedure include:
Teens have so many obstacles that can stand in their way when it comes to building self confidence. They are bombarded on social media with images of how they should dress, look, do their makeup, cut their hair – the list is endless. In addition, they have peers that can either build them up with friendship and support or tear them down with just a look or a like.
Many of us at Skin Perfect are mothers to teens and know the struggles they face on a daily basis. These struggles are only exemplified when they are struggling with acne. It’s hard for them to look in the mirror without being embarrassed or ashamed of their breakouts and it can take a toll on their self esteem.
Recently Jaclyn shared her tips and products for helping teens treat and help prevent acne with the team at Good Day Columbus. Facial treatments like our new Deep Cleanse Membership or our Acne Resolution can make big improvements in their skin. Combining the right at home care with regular skincare treatments can go a long way towards keeping our teens confident, happy, and with healthy glowing skin.
Jaclyn has compiled her favorite products to help with teen acne. Here are her recommendations:
Cleansers
Enzyme-Sal Cleanser and 10% BPO Cleanser are both excellent options for keeping teen skin clean, clear and it helps remove dead skin cells.
Exfoliators
These two exfoliators are gentle enough for a teen’s acneic skin but tough enough together rid of the dead skin cells. Refine and Renew Scrub and Clarifying Brightening Polish.
Treatments
Say goodbye to the days of Clearasil and toothpaste to treat acne breakouts. These four products are great to have on hand to keep the breakouts away. Overnight Spot Treatment, Cleansing Pads, Gly/Sal Spray, Acne Spot Treatment.
Hydrators
A pair of hydrators that won’t clog your teens pores or create an oily feeling on their skin. Packed full of hydrating ingredients to give their skin a healthy glow. Clarifying Moisturizer and Perfect Oil-Free Hydrator.
Jaclyn has spent years owning a spa, spray tanning clients, and of course, applying her own self tanner! She chooses a sunless tan any day over sun damage. Here are the best tips and tricks for really getting a bronzed and a glowing sunless tan.
For a truly even color, you’re going to want a smooth canvas for application. You should always wax or shave the day before you apply your tan because sometimes [hair removal] can cause irritation initially and make your skin slightly sensitive. You should also fully exfoliate 24 hours before your tan to ensure it’s even and to get rid of any dead skin.”
In addition, just before you apply your tan, Jaclyn recommends running an ice cube or frozen bag of peas (nope, not kidding) over your legs and face to constrict hair follicles and pores. This will prevent self-tanner from entering these tiny crevices and leaving small, darker-colored dots on your skin.
You’ll need to pay special attention to breakouts or any normally dry areas of skin before you apply a self-tan. Always apply a moisturizer barrier to joints, feet, hands prior to tanning since they can develop darker than anywhere else on the body. In addition, you’ll want to apply a concentrated amount of moisturizer using a Q-Tip or cotton ball to any skin conditions you’re dealing with like acne or eczema. The ingredients in self-tanner develop darker when they come in contact with these areas and extra moisture will block the product from highlighting what you’d rather hide.
First-timers who are afraid of being too dark may be hesitant to use large globs of product while applying. Don’t be. Zebra-like stripes are caused by lack of product and over-rubbing. Always use enough so that the product glides effortlessly and smoothly over the skin and buff away any excess with your tanning mitt. You can never use too much self-tan, as the skin can only absorb a certain amount of tanning agent (I recommend St. Tropez products specifically for this reason) but using too little self-tan will result in the dreaded streaky tan.
While you want to be generous with the product on all other areas of your body, you actually shouldn’t apply the product at all to your hands and feet. Always work excess product from the arms onto the hands and leftover product from the legs onto the feet and ankle. Don’t apply tanner directly on those area because it always looks too dark and unnatural.
Use the sunless tanning spray for hard to reach areas or tape a large wooden spoon to the mitt and use a “scratching your back” motion to apply.
Remember, sunless tanning can be scary, but once you get the hang of it, you will love the results. If you are truly afraid, start with gradual sunless tanners to dip your toe into the process. And of course, remember, when you are on vacation, use the gradual sunless tan to maintain so as your skin exfoliates, you still will look like a bronzed goddess.

The family of Jaclyn Peresetsky, owner of Skin Perfect Spas, is asking for your support to help the families across the country coping with the devastation left behind by two hurricanes. The severe and ongoing flooding is wreaking havoc on an already fragile Central American country ridden with gang violence and poverty.
Skin Perfect Spas are collecting supplies that will help families rebuild and recover. The Peresetsky’s will be traveling to Honduras December 17-24th on a Mission Trip and are collecting donations to take with them. Items needed include:
Clean up tools and supplies:
Baby Items:
Maksym, Dmitry, Jaclyn, and Misha Peresetsky
Hygiene kits:
Food and clothing are less difficult to find at this time and are better resourced in the country itself with monetary donations.
Stop by any Skin Perfect Spa between now and December 16th to donate to this important and worthwhile cause.
Even though caring for your skin and beauty needs is our #1 priority, we have an equally important task which is to provide a peaceful refuge for our clients to feel calm and relaxed while they are with us. Our spa is a place where you can come and unwind and forget about whatever is happening outside. We all need a break from the outside world, right? Read below to see all of the elements of our spa that we provide for including:
Several lab studies have confirmed that diffusing essential oils like lavender have been shown to reduce stress and help relieve anxiety in medical patients. Preliminary studies have also shown that oil diffusers can help alleviate symptoms of depression.
The heat emitted by the pad penetrates deep into the muscles. This aids with relaxation within minutes that help relieve stress and pain.
The heated wrap can soothe stiffness in the neck and shoulders and penetrates within minutes for maximum relaxation. Pair that with the scent of lavender that will make you sink deeper into relaxation and tranquility.
These lamps can also boost mood, improve sleep, ease allergies, and help people with asthma breathe better among other benefits.
Studies of the benefits of massage demonstrate that it is an effective treatment for reducing stress, pain and muscle tension and it can produce feelings of caring, comfort and connection. Something we all could use right now.
Relaxing music triggers changes to the body that in many ways mimic a sleep state. It can cause a slower heart rate, slower breathing, and lower blood pressure. Music also has a soothing effect on our emotional brain, easing stress and anxiety.
In addition to all of these elements, we are always concentrating on the sanitation and cleanliness of our spa to ensure the health and safety of all of our clients, staff, and families. For a full list of these measures please read our previous blog post Safety and Virus Protection Plan.
It’s time to get your skin ready for the holidays (yes – already!) and that means beginning a series of 3 or more peels to ramp up your skin to get the holiday glow we all strive for. This month we are featuring our 3 most popular peels: The Smooth and Refine, The Replenix Perfect 10, and the Vitalize Peel and the all new Retinol Peel Accelerator to add to any peel. Read on for all the details.
This peel brightens and smooths skin giving it a radiant glow. This peel can be used on all parts of the body to exfoliate and reveal new skin, reducing the appearance of acne scars, enlarged pores, and the depth of lines and wrinkles.
How does the procedure work?
The Smooth and Refine Peel is customized for each client to physically exfoliate and address specific skin concerns while renewing cellular functions that are dormant. Approximately 2 days after the application of the peel, the skin will go through a mild flaking process which will reveal velvety smooth skin. This advanced peel can be added on to any monthly membership treatment or done as a single treatment to achieve a quick and effective result.
Who benefits from this procedure?
Clients who are suffering from pigment changes and uneven skin tone and texture. This peel will cause mild physical flaking. We recommend that clients postpone social engagements until 2 weeks after the peel so that residual flaking is complete.
What to avoid
Three days prior to treatment we advise avoiding the use of retinols. Following treatment we recommend that clients do not apply any makeup or creams to skin for at least 4-6 hours after the procedure to prevent any possible contamination. Also, no exercising for 24 hours. As with all our procedures, we strongly recommend using the daily use of screen with an SPF of 30-50 depending on your skin tone. Any sunburn or an increase in sun exposure can cause advances in the aging process.
This peel contains a blend of ingredients that visibly reduce the signs of aging with every peel session. This peel addresses hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, fine lines, wrinkles, and weak capillaries. It works inside and out to encourage cell stimulation, support collagen production and strengthen the skin’s protective barrier.
How does the procedure work?
Each component of the system is formulated with soothing and calming antioxidants to support the pure and effective peeling agents. The peel works inside
and out to encourage cell stimulation, support colla- gen production and strengthen the skin’s protective barrier. Most clients find this peel to be painless. Two days after the treatment, skin will peel for 3-7 days so a busy schedule or upcoming special events should be taken into account when scheduling. These peels can be done every 3 weeks for optimal results in a series of 3 or 6. Different peel strengths are available.
Who benefits from this procedure?
Clients who are trying to reduce the visible signs of aging and increase collagen production. Peels are ideal for clients who want fast results. Remember these peels should be done no closer than 30 days prior to a special event.
What to avoid
Three days prior to treatment we advise avoiding the use of retinols. Following treatment we recommend that clients do not apply any makeup or creams to skin for at least 4-6 hours after the procedure to prevent any possible contamination. Also, no exercising for 24 hours. As with all our procedures, we strongly recommend daily use of screen with an SPF of 30-50 depending on your skin tone.
This peel is different from most traditional ‘deep’ peels, and requires little recovery time and improves skin’s overall appearance by decreasing fine line wrinkles, evening skin tone, tightening pores, and improving skin texture. This peel is perfect for all skin tones and ethnicities, and considered safe and extremely effective. Noticeable improvement can be seen after a single treatment, but when used in a series, clients see dramatic results.
How does the procedure work?
Vitalize Peel® is applied in layers that causes your skin to peel approximately two days after treatment. You will see noticeable results after just one peel with compelling results after 3 to 6 weeks. This peel is an effective tool against pigment changes caused by acne scarring, sun damage, age spots, freckles, melasma from hormonal changes, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Results are noticeable after just one peel with compelling results after 3 to 6 weeks.
Who benefits from this procedure?
Clients not yet ready for a Face lift or other invasive procedure, but are looking to improve the appearance and feel of their skin, will love the Vitalize Peel.
What to avoid
Three days prior to treatment we advise avoiding the use of retinols. Following treatment we recommend that clients do not apply any makeup or creams to skin for at least 4-6 hours after the procedure to prevent any possible contamination. Also, no exercising for 24 hours. As with all our procedures, we strongly recommend daily use of screen with an SPF of 30-50 depending on your skin tone. Any sunburn or an increase in sun exposure can cause advances in the aging process and undo any results achieved from the treatment.
