Read MoreOh, skincare ingredients; I've tried so many, each claiming to be "it". It seems like a new holy grail ingredient comes out once a month promising me young, smooth skin sans age spots, lines, blemishes, or wrinkles. So, I bite: I try it, slather it on my face, say a prayer and.....nothing. So, I decided I would go back to what's worked for me previously: good old fashioned Vitamin C. It may not be a new ingredient, but there's a reason it's been around so long: it simply works. Whether you're a long time Vitamin C devotee, or fairly new to this ingredient, I've rounded up the top 7 ways including Vitamin C into your skincare routine will benefit you.
Read MoreOk, we've all seen the purple bruises on Michael Phelps' back and know that he had cupping right before he swam to win the gold. And that seems worth it - purple bruises < gold medals - but why on earth would I want to do cupping on my face? Can this possibly be the same procedure showcased on the body of America's most famous swimmer last summer? In short - yes, and no.

Read MoreMicroneedling therapy is making headlines and it’s no wonder! Skin rejuvenation results achieved from microneedling therapy are comparable with those achieved by lasers without the extensive downtime. Moreover, microneedling therapy is safe for all skin colors, unlike lasers. Haven’t yet heard about microneedling? It is a minimally invasive skin-rejuvenation procedure that involves the use of a device that contains fine needles. The needles are used to puncture the skin to create a controlled skin injury. Each puncture creates a channel that triggers the body to fill these microscopic wounds by producing new collagen and elastin. Results include improved skin texture and firmness, as well as reduction in scars, pore size, and stretch marks.
At EAST Integrative Medicine, we use our Eclipse MicroPen® along with a topical anesthetic, so there is little to no pain during the treatment. And we get great results. Don’t just take our word for it – take a look at the articles below to see how micro-needling is creating a buzz in the skincare industry. Ready to make an appointment?
