Antioxidant Serums

21 May 2019

One of the most important steps of your skincare routine is often one of the most overlooked: using a topical antioxidant treatment. Antioxidants can not only stimulate collagen production, revealing a more youthful and taut complexion, but they also play the vital role of preventing sun damage. In honor of Skin Cancer Awareness Month, here’s a list of Tribeca MedSpa’s most loved antioxidant products.

TMS Approved Antioxidants:

• SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF–  This antioxidant serum shields cells from environmental damage by penetrating to the deeper layers of the skin. This product also promotes collagen production, causing a more radiant, firmer complexion with daily use. Phloretin CF should be applied in the morning only.

• SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic– This antioxidant serum protects skin against photoaging, while also stimulating collagen production. This serum should be applied in the morning and will reveal lightened, brightened and tightened skin with continued use.

•SkinCeuticals Resveratrol B E– Unlike the others, this antioxidant should be used at nighttime. This serum neutralizes free radicals, protecting and strengthening the skin’s natural defense system.

• Obagi C-Clarifying Serum- This serum’s unique formula of Hydroquinone and Vitamin C is perfect for reducing pigmentation and promoting even skin tone. This product is available for both Normal to Dry skin types, and Normal to Oily skin types.

Pairing an antioxidant serum with your sunscreen creates the perfect team to defend your skin against sun damage. Read all about Tribeca MedSpa’s favorite sunscreens here.

Skin Cancer Awareness Month

01 May 2019

For those of you who don’t know, today starts the beginning of Skin Cancer Awareness Month. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, with over two million people diagnosed annually. Although it is the most common, skin cancer is also one of the most preventable forms of cancer, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation.

The number one cause of skin cancer is UV radiation from sun exposure. Some less common causes of skin cancer include exposure to UV radiation from tanning beds, constant exposure to X-Rays, and exposure to certain chemicals.

Below is a list of Tribeca MedSpa’s most popular sunscreens, allowing you to stay safe and healthy while having fun in the sun!

TMS Approved Sunscreen

• Camille Cosmeceuticals Oil Free Sun Screen– This SPF 30 sunscreen not only protects the skin but it also hydrates with its unique formula of Vitamin E and Hyaluronic Acid. This quick absorbing sunscreen is oil free and fragrance free, so it won’t leave your skin clogged or feeling greasy.

• PCA Weightless Protection– Like the name suggests this sunscreen is extremely lightweight and has an SPF of 45. The sunscreen is also broad-spectrum, so it protects against both UVA and UVB radiation. This sunscreen absorbs quickly and is great for all skin types, especially those with oily or acne prone skin.

• SkinCeuticals Physical UV Defense– This broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 50 blocks and reflects the sun’s rays. It also has a universal tint, so it’s especially great for those who want light coverage or have uneven skin tone. This sunscreen is also water resistant.

• MDSolarSciences Quick Dry Body Spray– This aerosol spray is especially great when on the go. This SPF 40, broad spectrum spray quickly absorbs into the skin and is water resistant for up to 80 minutes. It is also non-comedogenic, so it won’t clog the pores.
