Tailored care for your unique skin.
Pro Youth
Intrinsic aging is the natural breakdown of collagen and elastin over the passing of time. Cell metabolism slows down, DNA is altered, and glycation occurs. Glycation affects the function and structure of proteins which can cause sagging and wrinkling.
Extrinsic aging is exposure to sun, pollution, stress, and low quality nutrition. Stress can actually cause DNA damage.
It’s important to not over-exfoliate, as well as to feed the skin the nutrients it needs to repair your cells. The dermis is the furthest layer down where all your collagen and elastin production occurs in the skin. Professional products sold by aestheticians and physicians are able to penetrate into the dermis unlike over-the-counter products. Products must get into the dermis in order to inflict change in the skin. The Pro Youth line will give your skin anti-glycation ingredients, stem cells, peptides, growth factors, and retinoids. My clients have received impressive results from using this regimen.
Acne
Acne is classified as a genetic disease. However, there are many things that can contribute to acne. Stress, hormones, nutrition, cosmetics with fragrances, dyes, and preservatives, picking and touching, drying products, and abrasive scrubs. To eradicate acne, killing bacteria and reducing sebum is the main goal, plus incorporating wound healing for the inflammation. Products and proper cleansing (go to my videos, watch the one on cleaning your face and order the gauze) as well as treatments to remove scarring and blockages have been successful in achieving beautiful, glowing, disease-free skin. Using fragrance-, dye-, and preservative-free hair care, skin care, and detergents, and changing pillowcases daily, cleaning your cell phone daily, etc. can be the changes you make that assist in clearing your skin. Ingredients that support the clearing of acne are salicylic acid, AHAs (alphahydroxy acids), retinoids, benzol peroxide, and growth factors.
Acne affects about 75% of the population at some time in their life. It can affect the face, back, chest, and arms of people. It is most common in puberty, but adult acne is quite common. Acne is a condition of the oil glands. As the oil glands begin to produce oil, pores get clogged and this causes inflammation that leads to many different kinds of pimples.
Brown Spots
Pigmentation changes are caused from melanocytes being damaged or overstimulated. Pregnancy, birth control pills, sun exposure, picking and scratching, trauma to the skin, rashes, surgical procedures, curling iron burns, etc. can all cause brown spots. Protecting your skin from further damage with a good SPF and Vitamin C product is the most important thing in treating this skin type. Furthermore, using a melanin suppressant product to help lighten the brown spots you currently have and prevent you from getting more of them is of ultimate importance. Partnering that with a retinoid to exfoliate the pigment is a tried and true formula for eliminating pigmentation. Many times you will need professional treatments as well, but I have seen people lighten and get rid of pigment just from the products. The best solution is implementing treatments and products.
Getting rid of and preventing more spots with products and treatments is very important for preventing skin cancer. Cosmetically, it can feel empowering to have your spots lighten up and go away. This can take time to achieve, so give it a good three months of using the products faithfully—specifically, a retinoid and a melanin suppressant, such as Chrono Peptide A, and Natural Mega Brightening Serum. These two products work together to lighten up and exfoliate the pigment. Only use them at night and make sure to get them off in the morning when you clean your face. They can make you more photosensitive since they are corrective active products. Some people only use them 1 to 3 times a week as irritation can develop, depending on your sensitivity level, until you are acclimated to the products. Once you get rid of your brown spots, it’s important to stay on these products because your cells have memory. You want to keep the melanin suppressed so it does not resurface again from your dermis.
Teen
The younger you start taking care of your skin the better. Skin care prevents aging and other skin issues from occurring over the years. The teen years are a great time to get going on it so that you can have healthy, beautiful skin your whole life.
Men's Products
Male clients love their skin treatments and products. Everyone can use a little R&R. Men's skin is thicker, oilier, has more facial hair, and is more acidic. It ages in the form of dry skin, wrinkles, and brown spots. What you put on your skin matters: choose wisely.

Cleansers
Products cannot penetrate through a bunch of dead skin. When you are 5 years old and under, your skin cells shed every 7 days. By the time you are 18, it takes 20 to 40 days to shed that same amount of skin. This increases every year, and particularly every decade. That is why regular exfoliation is key. However, proper exfoliation is what makes or breaks it for you. Many products over exfoliate the skin, or can scratch it and cause little red veins. Sara occasionally uses the Clarisonic skin care brush, or mixes cleanser with a scrub a few times a week. Another tactic she likes is using an enzyme once a week.

Eye Care
Eyes are one of the first areas to show signs of aging. They do not have any oil glands like the rest of the skin, so they need special care. Eye products are designed to specifically hydrate that area, and keep it healthy.
Sunscreens
Using a sun protection product is so important in protecting your skin from the harsh elements, especially the sun. We all love sunshine, however, since we've ruined the environment and now we have Ozone depletion, we are getting sun rays we should never have had. Having a good quality sunblock makes a huge difference, reapplying every two hours out in the sun as well as wearing a hat. Sara recommends using sunblock every morning before you leave the house. Even walking through a parking lot or sitting near a lighted window can have serious effects on the skin from the sun.
Masks & Enzymes
One of Sara’s tactics for beautiful skin is using an enzyme once a week. Great to do before a special event where you want to look your best.
