SKINCARE JOURNEY 2020-2021 - What truly regenerated my skin (sun damage, crepiness, sagging skin repair)
OMG!
I WAS LITERALLY VERY SUPRISED WHEN I SAW MY OWN BEFORE and AFTER PICS!
I am almost a little embarrassed as I didn’t realize that while I was working with clients and still doing a good amount of personal care and treatments, I didn’t notice that my own skin had started to develop a few issues:
Loose, sag - under my chin and my neck. I could really see the crepiness!
Sun damage - I guess living in a sunshine state was starting to show. Although I am really good about good suncare, I could see that some small bits of dark spots and dullness were creeping in.
BIGGEST ISSUES
I had been struggling with thinning skin and keeping a good skin density/thickness and volume in my face (success overall, I feel), however the lack of firmness and the bits of damage were really apparent.
I had been doing some different things that I thought were working, but sometimes it’s hard to tell…until you see the visible photos!
I was using my SCULPLLA products (great plumping and volume) but I had added the TIME MASTER PRO (I do love this tool for instant plump, brightness and regeneration) as well as my MINI for sculpting.
What did I add to regimen that was making serious strides in results? I thought back and did some reverse-engineering to figure it out.
Here is my routine, what I do, how often I use the products and what I think made the BIGGEST difference!
WEEKLY /NIGHTS
SCULPLLA CAVIPLLA + H2 Mist: 2 times weekly
NEOGNESIS SKIN SERUM + BARRIER CREAM - 3 times weekly
MGF SERUM - 2 times weekly
TMP - 1-2x weekly / multi-flashing/red light settings
MINI - 2-3x weekly
DAILY
NEOGENESIS BOOSTER + BARRIER CREAM - 3 times weekly
PEPTA CICA + VITAMIN C + HYDRADROP - 4 times weekly
SUN PROTECTION MILD or SCULPLLA Suncushion daily over above
MONTHLY
*Deep microneedling + NEOGENESIS RECOVERY (use this for 2-3 days after treatment)
DN64 microneedle with BRIGHTENING serum ampoule
(1 full week at night) - layer of the Sculplla Cell Promoter Repair cream -
do this full week series at least once monthly (this is the full protocol to use)
*The deep microneedling I do myself, however for a deep treatment (.75mm or deeper)
you should have it done professionally!
I still use my Mesolyft pens nightly (lips) and my Hydra Velvet masks every week.
I like to do a series with the Hydra Velvet or at least use one after my TMP/MINI treatments
(especially before going out or date night with hubby - super results!)
I also use either the Expurtise Selfie Mask or NeoGenesis Enzyme Peel once weekly.
BIGGEST RESULTS - WHAT WORKED
But the things I added that I think made the most difference:
NECK / SKINTONE/TEXTURE/BRIGHTENESS
MICRONEEDLING + Recovery - this had made a BIG difference in my neck area
DN64 Microneedle with Brightening ampoule + Sculplla Cell Promoter Repair cream - overall brightness
NEOGENESIS SKIN SERUM - I wasn’t using this regularly until just a few months ago and I think it has made a big difference in my overall texture and tone
NEOGENESIS BOOSTER/RECOVERY - these were not new to my regimen, but I started using them more often, especially the BOOSTER. This definitely helped the overall tone/texture and crepey skin on my neck.
VITAMIN C and PEPTA CICA - Love this duo! Using this daily has really boosted my overall brightness and it has given my skin a nice glow!
I noticed these results around February 2021 and went back to about March of 2020 (right around all the shutdowns) and these are the things I added in that timeframe.
I did do a laser treatment in late March 2021. It wasn’t a resurfacing (although it did a light resurface). It was more for an overall collagen/firming boost. This will take a few months to actually produce results.
I do think it’s important to do a pro-level treatment at least once or twice yearly. You can then keep the results going by doing your DIY at home devices and products.
If you have issues like mine, try this regimen!
