Medical grade products are different as they contain much higher doses of "active ingredients" such as biologically active Vitamin A and antioxidants like Vitamin C, which make "changes" in your skin. In order to make changes in skin we need to slough off the outer surface to get to new skin. Some products are more aggressive than others, but the bottom line is to keep skin exfoliated so product can penetrate and do their job.

Welcome to the new Seaview Medical Aesthetic Boutique blog.
Before I begin with tidbits of the day, here's some insight into my background. I have been a Registered Nurse since graduating in 1992. Most of my nursing career has been at Rhode Island Hospital, working in various departments providing direct patient care as well as working in Quality management, and working along side plastic surgeons which is where I decided to make a jump from a hospital environment to aesthetics.
This jump to aesthetics is a natural path for me. Since I was about 16 years old, I've been conscious of taking care of my skin, like not using soap to wash my face, using an eye cream daily, slathering sunscreen before going outside. Wearing makeup, because I always believed foundation is another layer of protection for your face.
When I was 17, I was given valuable advice by a 75 year old woman who worked for Elizabeth Arden. This woman looked AWESOME for her age! She said to me "invest in your face". These words have stuck with me ever since :)
Now, I'd like to share some things I think are important practice for good skin care: ALWAYS wash your face before bed and apply a night cream.
Use a separate eye cream, not what you would use on the rest of your face.
Treat your neck the same as you would your face.
Sleep on your back, it pulls the skin on your face back, like a face lift. This also is true for the décolletage area.
Do not squint. Always wear sunglasses and reading glasses (if you need them).
Okay, stay tuned for more tidbits.
