Summer Skin Care

Summer is that time of year most people look forward to. Sunny skies and warmer days have people finding time for some fun in the sun. This fun comes with necessary precautions to maintain your skin’s health. The increase in temperature, humidity, and prolonged physical activity can cause an increase of sebaceous glands to open up, increasing oil production on already oily skin or dry, patchy skin for those with dry skin. Luckily, at SkinMD, we carry a full line of Alastin Skincare to help you customize a summer skincare routine that best fits your skin type and will help keep your skin clean, healthy, and radiant.

Cleanse & Exfoliate

Cleaning and exfoliation is a crucial step in skincare. The human body sheds almost a million skin cells a day! These cells break away, fall off the skin, allowing new cells to surface. When dead skin cells do not break away, they mix with our sebum (natural oils) and clog pores, creating blackheads and whiteheads. If bacteria enters the pores, this causes acne breakouts. Regular cleansing and exfoliation, this helps to remove the upper layers of dead skin and reduces blemishes and breakouts.

We recommend Alastin Skinkcare’s Gentle Cleanser as it’s hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic (non clogging), and great for all skin types. This gentle but powerful cleanser removes daily environmental pollutants and makeup while the antioxidants keep the skin calm. Alastin’s Gentle Cleanser can be used daily in your morning and evening routine without stripping or drying your face of its natural oils.

Your face is a sensitive part of the body. Harsh products or constant exfoliation can damage the skin, stripping your face of the natural oils and cause breakouts. Alastin’s ReSurface Skin Polish delivers the power of dual-action exfoliation through volcanic minerals (physical) and AHA (chemical) in a hydrating formula. Weekly exfoliation will remove the buildup of dead skin cells and impurities without stripping or irritating skin. As part of your weekly routine after cleansing, skin feels smoother, softer, and brighter. Best of all, it’s suitable for most skin types (oily, dry, combination, and aging).

Moisturize, Protect, + Hydrate

No skincare routine would be complete without a moisturizer, sunscreen, and H2O. During the summer, we sweat more as part of our body’s natural way of regulating body temperature, leaving our body dehydrated and our skin dry. Water will help keep your skin soft and supple. A moisturizer like Alastin’s Ultra Light Moisturizer helps to restore and hydrate skin while preserving the skin’s natural barrier, perfect for all skin types, especially sensitive or compromised skin.

Sun damage can cause skin concerns like wrinkles, age spots, and skin cancer. While sunscreen is the last step of your skincare routine, it plays a crucial role in the health and appearance of your skin. Using a light, oil-free moisturizer with a 30+ broad-spectrum SPF protection like Alastin’s Silkshield All Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 can help keep your skin hydrated and protected from harmful UVA & UVB rays. Its lightweight, fragrance-free, oil-free formula is fast-absorbing, broad-spectrum, perfect for all skin types.

Hair Transplant Treatments: Reclaim Your Confidence at SkinMD

April 15, 2025
Hair loss is a natural part of life that many people face, whether it’s due to aging, genetics, or other factors. It’s something that affects both men and women, and while it’s common, it can still feel frustrating and even impact your self-esteem. The good news? You don’t have to accept hair loss if you're not ready to. Thanks to advancements in hair transplant treatments, you now have the opportunity to restore your hair and regain your youthful appearance. Embrace Your Youthful Look with Hair Transplant Treatments Hair loss doesn’t have to define you, and it certainly doesn’t have to stop you from feeling as young and vibrant as you are. Whether you're dealing with a receding hairline, thinning hair, or more significant bald spots, a hair transplant can offer a permanent solution. This treatment gives you the chance to reclaim your natural hair, boost your confidence, and maintain the look you desire for years to come.  Why Hair Loss Happens Hair loss can occur for a variety of reasons, but the most common cause is androgenetic alopecia, or male and female pattern baldness, which is typically genetic. Other factors, such as stress, nutritional deficiencies, or hormonal changes, can also contribute to thinning or falling hair. While these factors are often out of our control, they don’t have to be the end of the road when it comes to maintaining a full, healthy head of hair.
