What is the best moisturizer for my skin type?

Finding the best moisturizer for your skin type can be difficult. When it comes to skincare, the effectiveness and suitability of a moisturizer can vary depending on individual needs and preferences. Finding your perfect match can be narrowed down by considering the following factors.

1 | YOUR SKIN TYPE

Understanding your skin type is essential for selecting the best moisturizer for you. Whether you have dry, oily, combination, or sensitive skin will influence the type of moisturizer you should use. Different formulations cater to specific skin types in order to provide optimal hydration, address skin concerns, and maintain a healthy pH balance. During skincare visits, your technician helps determine your skin type to properly select products for your service.

2 | ACTIVE INGREDIENTS

active ingredients

Look for moisturizers with high-quality ingredients that are beneficial to your specific skin type. Common ingredients include humectants like hyaluronic acid, emollients like natural oils and butters, and additional active ingredients that target specific concerns. Examples of concerns include acne, aging, hyperpigmentation, and redness.

Understanding how the ingredients interact with your skin type can make the selection process much easier. During skincare visits, your technician selects products specific to your skin type, according to the active ingredients.

3 | PRODUCT FEEL

Moisturizers come in various forms such as creams, lotions, and gels. Choose a texture that feels comfortable on your skin and suits your preference. For example, if you have oily skin, a lightweight lotion may be more suitable, whereas those with dry skin may prefer a rich creamy texture. Skin care services are finished with aftercare products which include serums and moisturizers. This is a great way to try on your potential daily moisturizer.

4 | PERSONAL PREFERENCE

Skincare is a personal journey, and what works for one person may not work for another. Factors such as fragrance, packaging, brand, allergies, and price can also influence your decision when choosing a moisturizer. Professional products tend to have a higher retail price due to their clinical-grade ingredients. These products are not only meant to maintain a healthy moisture balance, but they also help treat skin conditions.


It’s always a good idea to do some research and consult with your skincare professional to determine which moisturizer is your best match. Check out our online store.

What will dermaplaning do for my skin? 

The process brightens the complexion, evens skin tone, and leaves the skin feeling supple and smooth.  

How does dermaplaning work? 

The technician gently grazes a medical-grade scalpel edge over the surface of the skin. This process delivers a fine shave that removes the dull surface skin and vellus facial hair.  

When will I notice my results? 

A: The results of dérmaPLANE are seen immediately following the procedure. The goal is to leave the skin feeling softer and looking radiant. Contrast is most evident when comparing the appearance before and after service, in those who have major build up and visible hair growth.  

Q: Are there any side effects? 

A: There are typically no side effects from the procedure. Your skin may feel slightly exposed and sensitive for 1-2 hours following. It is recommended that with any professional skin care service extended sun exposure is avoided for a minimum 24-hour period.

Achieve professional-level skin smoothing and softening by adding a shot of Retinol and Vitamin C Peel Boost to your facial.

The LUX

The LUX facial is what its name surmises, luxury.

Skincare, massage, and brows all in one package.

Your skin is treated to a thorough deep pore cleanse and exfoliation. After a warm steam session, extractions release impurities and debris from the skin. Masking and moisture care infuses your skin with nutrients.

Whether you have blemishes, dry, oily, or acne prone skin, our custom applications ensure that we address your specific needs every time.

Your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, and face are treated to a relaxing combination of Swedish and Pressure point massage.

That’s not all though, your spa session is finished off with a dérmica brow Shape, leaving your face looking and feeling anew!

Retinol and Vitamic C Peel Boost

1% Retinol stimulates collagen production and cell turnover.

Vitamin C provides protection. It scavenges and destroys reactive oxidizing (think ‘rusting’) agents and other free radicals.

Vitamin C also improves skin elasticity, decreases wrinkles by stimulating collagen synthesis, reduces redness, promotes wound healing and suppresses excess pigmentation.
