When it comes to skin care, New Jersey residents should know some crucial tips on maintaining healthy skin.

In order for skin to maintain a more youthful appearance, refraining from the following would be advised:

• Tanning Beds. The World Health Organization has classified tanning beds as a known carcinogen.  Exposure may accelerate wrinkles, skin cancer, as well as promote hyperpigmentation (dark spots).
• Not using sunscreen daily.  You can avoid significant sun damage by using an SPF of at least 15 everyday.

Up to 90% of visible aging is caused by sun exposure. For skin care, New Jersey residents know that sunscreens are the skin’s first line of defense against photodamage, helping deflect and absorb harmful UV rays. Even broad spectrum sunscreens only block up to 55% of damaging free radicals caused by UV exposure.

For ultimate protection, you need to team up with a potent antioxidant as found in Phloretin CF and CE Ferulic. They provide equally powerful photoprotection, help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and restore radiance and provide more uniform skin tone.

Kim Ashton, Spa Coordinator for the Beaura Spa at Parker Center in Paramus, NJ has announced the launch of the new webpage, http://www.parkercenterspa.net/. To celebrate, the beautiful Bergen County Spa is offering a VIP contest offering a total of eight, one-year memberships.

Tretinoin or sometimes better known as Retin A is a derivative of Vitamin A and is the acne treatment choice for comedonal acne or whiteheads and blackheads.  It works by increasing skin cell turnover promoting the extrusion of the plugged material in the follicle.  It also prevents the formation of new comedones.  Tretinoin is the ONLY topical medication that has been proven to improve wrinkles.

There are solutions to the ever growing pace at which our skin shows signs of aging.  If we are cognizant of some tell-tale signs, we can be ready to step into action to reverse or slow down the aging process.  Of course, sound cleansing routines should begin early in our lives to ward off the “creeping signs” of aging.  In the event you are beginning to notice these changes regardless of how subtle, the following knowledge should be beneficial:

There is little doubt that today’s consumer is more informed and up to date than ever with all of the information available on the internet—all of this information at the touch of a button!  With that said, it should be easier in making decisions but sometimes, too much information just gets confusing!

In an effort to help clarify and narrow your choices down in the quest to “beautify” and “take years off” your appearance, consider the following reasons for choosing Beaura Spa, a medical Paramus New Jersey spa:

During all our lives we experience the occasional sunburn, hormonal changes, stress, pollution and daily sun exposure that contribute to the signs of premature aging. The Obaji Nu-Derm Skincare, at our Paramus NJ Spa, system has been designed to improve the appearance of your skin at the cellular level.

You can literally transform your skin by using the Obaji skin care system. This unique system of skin care products was developed by a dermatologist to scientifically transform the skin with a few simple steps morning and night.

At our Paramus, NJ spa, we understand the challenges that most of us have when exposed to the seasonal changes in weather.  The winter months can be especially difficult.  In an effort to keep our patients prepared and informed, we have found the following tips extremely useful.

1.   HYDRATION: The winter months can tend to leave your skin dehydrated as cold dry air depletes your skin of moisture.  Consulting with our aesthetic providers will help guide you in upgrading your moisturizer to a more emollient formulation or enhancing your current moisturizer with a hydrating serum.

Fall is in the air and the glowing tans are fading, leaving behind new dark spots, lines and wrinkles. Paramus plastic surgeon, Dr. Paul M. Parker, knows that the Obagi Nu-Derm skin care line can reduce the effects of a summer spent in the sun as well as the build-up of years of sun damage because he uses these products himself.
