What skincare products does the plastic surgeon use?

We get asked this daily in our offices. Who doesn't want to know what a Plastic Surgeon is using on their skin? We've gone behind the counter with our in-house Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to see exactly what secrets she has for healthy skin.

You shouldn’t have to choose between clear skin and a fit lifestyle. Whether you are sweating it out inside a spin class or running outdoors, perspiring during a workout can wreck your complexion. We will breakdown these breakouts and help you choose the products right for you. 

We get TONS of comments on our Instagram asking for our top picks and routine recommendations. With so many new products on the market these days, it is insanely hard to narrow down these recommendations. There are DOZENS of options with your skin care routine, but alas, we have compiled our top picks for AM / PM routines for multiple skin types.

When our owner told us she found a new brand she was obsessed with about a month ago, of course I trusted her skincare expertise. That said, in the skincare world, you might hear the phrase "I am obsessed with this," 40 times per day. It wasn't until she booked a training with our sister-store, Beleza MedSpa, that I really understood what she had found.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a big name in the aesthetics marketplace primarily due to the evolving dermal filler market. Medically injected Hyaluronic Acid has been used now for over 20 years. Hyaluronic Acid has been used in skincare products for decades as well.

What are the best Hyaluronic Acid products on the market? Purchasing an HA can be overwhelming. Thankfully, we've done the leg work for you. Below is a review of the best of the best when it comes to Hyaluronic Acid. You're welcome.

Origin

Examining the hands of the East Norway salmon hatchery workers you would never believe that they were beyond their 20’s. Their hands, submerged within the salmon water all day long, did not reflect their true older age since they were receiving day-to-day benefits/exfoliation of the enzyme that would later be exclusively patented by Restorsea and called, Aquabeautine XL. The enzyme from the salmon roe demonstrated that it had the ability to correct uneven skin tone, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, increases elasticity, and not cause damage to healthy skin after extensive use.

Aquabeautine XL - How the Enzyme Works

Enzyme's Natural Process

Ever thought about how fish break out from their egg shells? Unlike chicks that can physically peck their way out, salmon must rely on an enzyme process to release them from their rubber-like egg. Two major phases take place during the salmon roe hatching process after the release of the enzyme, Aquabeautine XL:

1. A protein is expelled and activated as it attaches to the egg shell. The exfoliant then dissolves the area of the egg shell previously marked by the protein.
2. Once the egg shell has an opening, the enzyme “turns off” so not to damage the skin of the baby salmon as it escapes from the egg.

The turn-on turn-off mechanism of the enzyme works the same way on human cells. Only dead skin cells are digested by the enzyme and live cells are left intact.

Enzyme For Sensitive Skin

Cleanser, Moisturizers, Serums and More

Restorsea and Restorsea PRO have everything you need for your daily and nightly beauty routine, beginning with the Reviving Cleanser all the way to the 24kt Liquid Gold Face Oil with Vibransea Complex. The Restorsea PRO line has a higher percentage of Aquabeautine XL for additional benefits.

FAQ

Where to Buy Restorsea?

You can of course find all Restorsea products here at Texas Beauty Company. Also, the Restorsea PRO line can only be sold by licensed physicians, that’s us!

Are animals harmed in the process?

Nope! After the salmon eggs have hatched the baby fish are transferred to a different tank. Once all are transferred, the enzyme is harvested from the water. The finished Restorsea products are never tested on animals.

What skin types can use Restorsea?

All skin types may use Restorsea skincare, but sensitive, rosacea and dry skin will find the most benefit in terms of irritation relief. The exfoliating enzyme only targets dead skin cells and does not penetrate deep to the stratum spinosum and beyond where only newer skin resides.

Is it normal for the serums & cleanser to change color?

It is normal for the serums and cleanser to periodically change colors. The Aquabeautine XL is a living enzyme and responds to temperature fluctuations. Be sure to store your item in room temperature or at a slightly colder temperature.

How to Respond Like Kendall Jenner to  A Breakout Right Before a Big Event

Kendall Jenner’s skin has been in the forefront of celebrity media after she made an appearance at the Golden Globes with visible acne on her cheeks. Fans were quick to comment on social media about her rarely seen blemishes. Of course there were some who criticized her appearance, but most showed admiration for coming out even with a not-so-perfect complexion. Kendall responded positively to a fan saying, “never let that sh*t stop you!”. 

People were left feeling better about their appearance knowing that a supermodel struggles with the same skin issues as most. We’ve all been there. You are planning to attend a highly anticipated event and all right before the big night your skin runs wild! Ugh! So what do you do? We will walk through what is the best Do’s and Don’ts for these skin emergencies.

The Don’ts – What not to do to those unwanted breakouts.

1. Don’t pop it! Resist the urge to pop pimples. Not only can you cause permanent scarring to your skin, but you can also make the appearance of the blemish worse.
2. Don’t apply too many overly drying products. Yes I know it is an emergency, but don’t go overboard when applying products. Applying a salicylic, benzoyl peroxide, and retinol product can help dry up these pesky zits, but applying too much can just cause more inflammation and irritation.
3. Don’t try to cover up by apply too much makeup. Applying too much heavy makeup can be contrary to camouflaging and actually shine light on the problem area. Not only does this not look good but it can also clog the pores and cause the breakout to become worse. Instead try a cover up that is made with ingredients that help treat the blemish while covering it up like Jane Iredale Disappear Concealer. This concealer aids in calming the skin with Green Tea and Vitamin C while hiding the blemish with a great coverage.
4. Don’t touch! As difficult as it may be, make sure to keep your hands off the blemish. Your hands have oil and dirt (even with consistent washing) that will just exaggerate the problem.

The Dos- How to properly treat skin pimples and blemishes

1. Keep it clean. Wash your face with a deep cleaning, non-irritating cleanser like EltaMD Foaming Facial Wash, and keep the area clean.
2. Spot treat the blemish with a product containing a retinoid, salicylic acid, or benzyol peroxide. We recommend Osmosis Clarify Blemish Serum which uses a retinol mixed with natural oils and extracts to calm and treat blemishes. Another great product to try is SkinMedica Acne Treatment Lotion which uses Benzyol Peroxide to fight bacteria.
3. Use a mask to help pull impurities out of your skin like Revision Black Mask. However, don’t use it for the first time immediately before your big event! Using the right mask can help smooth and brighten your skin, but verify that your skin doesn’t have a reaction to any product before your big night. 
4. Moisturize. Don't be afraid to moisturize the area. Using a product that doesnt clog the pores but acts as a natural barrier like, EltaMD Barrier Renewal Complex, can help smooth the appearance of unwanted acne and act as a primer for makeup.
5. There are a few in-office procedures that can quickly aid in ridding acne. For large cystic acne, you can get an injection of cortisone at a physician’s office. Another procedure called CryoCorrect by SkinCeuticals can immediately freeze zits and pimples and help get rid of them swiftly and effectively.
