They can consist of blackheads, whiteheads, and little clogged pores in the form of bumps on the skin often on the forehead or jawline. As skincare professional, my goal is to remove surface dry cells, relieve trapped oil and dead skin that stays trapped and congests the pore.
When most people are trying to clear their skin, the skin becomes dry and results in dry dead skin buildup. This dead skin barrier traps oil in the skin therefore starting a cycle of new breakouts.
The tricky part is that some traditional exfoliants such as scrubs can be too harsh and too stripping to the client’s barrier. Also, stay away from natural scrubs, as the granules are too large or can have sharper edges (such as apricot pits or walnut husks). Looking for scrubs with microbeads that easily glide or sand the skin that rolls across and doesn’t irritate are the best choice. If that barrier becomes stripped, then the skin will compensate and increase the oil production thereby increasing the breakouts. It can be a vicious cycle so there is an art to exfoliating skin that is breakout prone. If the skin appears bright red, irritated or raw, then the skin has been over exfoliated.
Having a skincare professional helping choose the right exfoliants is very important. There are many options such as liquid exfoliants or professional treatment exfoliants such as microdermabrasion, chemical peels or dermaplaning.
Dark, red marks are the “after acne” can be really frustrating for someone that has gone through all the obstacles of getting their skin clear, but now they have the daily reminder in the mirror. Increasing exfoliation will help fade these marks. The goal is to remove damaged cells to make room for the formation f healthy cells. Also, delivering lightening ingredients deeper into the skin by professional Microneedling can speed up the process of fading and remodeling the depressed or inverted acne scars.

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.

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.

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.

Dehydrated skin is a skin condition, meaning it is temporary and more easily treatable than dry skin. Often caused by external elements, such as weather or harsh soaps or detergents. Dehydrated skin is simply moisture-deficient skin with low, depleted water content. This skin condition has a loss of bodily fluids which can be a significant issue as our body depends on water for all cellular processes.

Dry skin is typically a pre-determined skin function decided by your genes. Dry skin is caused by a lack of sebum and lipids, due to under active or smaller sebaceous glands. Less protective oil in the skin cells leave a tight, scaly and sensitive sensation for those with dry skin. It can also occur with mature clients with an under active thyroid, a hormonal imbalance, or dehydrated skin left untreated. All of these conditions inhibit the production of the natural essential oils that protect the skin.
Since water isn’t the problem in dry skin and instead lack of oil is the core issue, it can appear lackluster with no sheen or glow.
