One of our bloggers wrote in, “How can I combat the redness caused by my acne?”  Abella has a 1% hydrocortisone gel called CortiGel to soothe and calm any irritation on the skin. Ideal for use during the post procedure healing process, for acne, rashes and pseudo folliculitis.

Can be safely used immediately after microdermabrasion, hair removal laser, non-ablative lasers and high strength peels.

One of our bloggers wrote in, “How can I get rid of my dull skin without using irritating scrubs or expensive procedures to exfoliate ?”   We recommend giving yourself a youthful glow at home with a gentle glycolic peel such as Abella’s Renewal Gel.

The Renewal Gel accelerates the skin’s natural exfoliation process, stimulates circulation (increases production of collagen and elastin), reduces blackheads and acne, minimizes wrinkles and fine lines and increases penetration of other treatment products by maximizing their absorption into the skin.

How to Use: Apply a thin coat of Renewal Gel™ 10% Glycolic acid to cover your face, neck or desired areas. Allow to work for 30 to 45 minutes.  Rinse well with lukewarm water until the product is removed. 

Attention Men: Followup by Shaving and you will see better results!

Please remember to always wear sun protection to maximize results and minimize damage.  Try our SolarShade SPF 45 or ColorShade SPF 30+ in 4 tints.

I recently was emailed a question by one of our Blog Readers asking, “Does order matter when I apply products in my daily skin-care routine”?  The answer to this question is YES!  When applying your products start from the thinnest formulation to the thickest formulation. For example after cleansing your face with the Dual Cleanser next apply your serum like the Cellution C. These products have more active ingredients, so penetration into the skin is critical to maximize results.  Next apply your face lotion like Abella’s Facial Moisturizer to seal in the moisture and finish with a broad spectrum sun block such as SolarShade SPF 45 or to add color use ColorShade SPF 30+ available in four tints. Our products can be purchased online at www.skinstore.com , www.dermstore.com , www.skinelite.com  and www.amazon.com.

Summer has arrived and we are baring more skin this equals waxing!! We want to make sure you are prepping your skin correctly and offer a few helpful hints.

Before a wax treatment avoid using harsh exfoliants, chemical peels, and any skin products that have Alpha Hydroxy Acid for 3 to 5 days prior to your appointment.  Although a gentle exfoliating product such as the Abella Exfoliating Cleanser can be used 48 hours prior to your treatment to remove dead skin cells that can clog and grip your hair follicles. After your wax use a gentle cleanser like the Dual Cleanser to keep area clean and non-irritated.

After your wax we suggest you wait 48 hours before sun exposure and recommend wearing the ColorShade SPF 30+ or the SolarShade SPF 45. After waxing your skin is sensitive and more prone to sun damage and can tan unevenly.

If you apply self tanners, wax first then wait about 24 hours to apply your self-tanner to ensure a streak free result.

As the winter weather fades and we start venturing out, our faces need refreshing! The hot air from our heaters, low humidity and lack of fresh air can disrupt your skins normal functions.  A great start to awaking your skin is to start with a mild AHA cleanser, such as Abella’s Exfoliating Cleanser.  This will remove the winter buildup of dry, dead skin cells. Also note that the Exfoliating Cleanser used prior to a self tanner allows for better penetration into your skin. 

Keep in mind as we are no longer concerned with covering up from the winter climate but we still need protection. Check out the Abella SolarShade SPF 45 and the ColorShade SPF 30+ that comes in 4 tints.  

SolarShade SPF 45 delivers higher UV blocking efficiency than most commercial sun care products and acts like a barrier of sun protection on your skin. This silicone based product is a physical sun block (not chemical), which means it does not penetrate the skin or your ink. Instead this product acts like an umbrella protecting your ink from sun damage.

The Titanium base scatters UV light before it can enter the skin preventing your tattoo from fading that is due to both UVA and UVB radiation.  The silicone found in the SolarShade makes the tattoo brighter and more visible providing the highest water resistance levels of any topically approved material. The most important feature of the silicone is it does not dissolve tattoo dyes like many sun products on the market. As beach season approaches make sure you protect your tattoo with the SolarShade SPF 45.

Are you looking for the professional attention from a Doctor, pampering at the spa or a little of both?  Abella Skin Care can be found in all three…..

Where to go – Doctors Office

What you get – A medical diagnosis of your skins condition. In addition your Doctor can perform high potency chemical peels, lasers and fillers. 

Where to go – Medi-Spa

What you get – The increasing popular fusion experience that blends Doctor services with traditional spa comforts.  You will receive treatments by a licensed aesthetician, but will have a Doctor on staff to supervise chemical peels, make recommendations for skin care and intercede if problems occur such as allergic reactions.

If sterile Doctor’s offices are not your thing, this is the best alternative! Medi-spa’s offer a relaxing spa environment with the comfort of knowing a physician is available 24/7.

Where to go – Traditional Day Spa

What you get – The traditional spa is the ultimate in pampering.  They are the most popular of the 3 choices for facial and massage appointments. Although no Doctor is on staff, a licensed aesthetician can administer mild peels, microdermabrasion and offer recommendations for skin care.  The spa is perfect if you are seeking a relaxing day and a temporary glow.

Most day spas offer consultations with aesthetician’s for common skin care conditions. In these appointments you can come up with a skin care protocol that is personalized for your skin type.  This is a great tool if you can’t visit a Doctor.
