Summer is the time for relaxation and fun. It’s the season to release the outdoors enthusiasts within. Most of us welcome the change in routine the summer brings, but with a new regime, your skincare routine should change too. Here are the Do’s and Don’ts of Summer Skincare:
Do’s:
1) Always wear sunblock of SPF 30 or higher. Apply every 30-45 minutes and wear protective clothing to block the sun especially from your face and chest.
2) Use less products. No need to overdo it with products. Refrain from using anything with retinol and choose a tinted moisturizer rather than a heavy foundation. We recommend Revisions. Opt for lighter cosmetics and skin care products that won’t sit heavy on your face. Try a loose mineral powder instead of thicker pressed variety.
3) Drink lots of water. Drinking 64 oz or more will help flush toxins out of your system and replenish your body’s water supply for well-hydrated, healthy skin. It will help give your skin a summer-like glow and can plump up your cheeks a bit to give you a more youthful appearance.
4) Do get Botox and fillers- Summer is perfect time to get fillers. There are no sun restrictions. Fillers and Botox, when administered by a RN or another certified professional will take years off your face and  give you a much more youthful appearance. Now is perfect time to schedule these procedures.
Don’ts:
1) Do not spend time in the sun for at least 72 hours before your laser treatment. If this is not possible, then you simply should not have any laser treatments. We advise this because your skin becomes at risk of serious burning, damage, or scarring. Without you even realizing it, your skin will have become more sensitive to burning after being exposed to the sun.
2) Do not get a chemical peel during the summer months. Even if you do not plan to bask in the sun, you must be extra careful as the strong ultraviolet rays have a way of finding you when you least expect it. Yes- you are getting sun exposure through your car windows. Get a Hydrafacial instead. There is no risk with the sun or downtime.
3) Don’t over-cleanse your face. It might be tempting to wash your face repeatedly when it feels oily. If your skin becomes too dry, however, it could stimulate increased oil production.
So when it comes to the do’s and don’ts of summer skincare keep a list and check it twice to ensure you protect your skin and  look radiant for the summer season!

CoolSculpting is the latest craze for body contouring and Belladerm is hosting a special event this month!  You no longer have to put up with that stubborn fat that no amount of workouts will get rid of! The buzz over this relatively new treatment has been increasing every month. Information is rapidly being shared and CoolSculpting rave reviews are splashed all over in various forms of media right now. Why are people so excited about it?
CoolSculpting provides stellar results without going under the knife. Instead, the fat cells are frozen and your body eliminates the destroyed cells over the course of several weeks. CoolSculpting works by pulling the skin between two panels, so you’ll likely feel a mild tingling or slight tugging of the skin, along with a cooling sensation. Any discomfort should be minimal. You can rest assured knowing that it is FDA-cleared and was developed by Harvard scientists using patented fat-freezing technology.
Are you a candidate? CoolSculpting is a good choice for individuals who are within 15 to 20 pounds of their ideal weight and who already exercise and follow a healthy diet. We’d like to invite you to our CoolSculpting Consult Day coming up on Tuesday, June 21st. Call ahead (763-494-9905) to secure your personal appointment with Robin or Amy and our CoolSculpting Rep. This will be a helpful consult to discuss your CoolSculpting choices and to find out how it will specifically benefit YOU and help you to reach your goals. You will not have the treatment done on this day, just complete your consultation and make your purchase for treatment on a future date. We’re looking forward to seeing you and helping you reach your goals for 2016! For more information on CoolSculpting, click here.

Did you know that June is national men’s health awareness month? Around the world people are celebrating men’s health month as a special awareness period recognized by Congress, which ends on Father’s Day, June 19. Men’s Health Awareness Month is built on the pillars of Awareness–Prevention–Education–Family. Men’s Health Awareness Month is credited with the increase in wellness activities for boys and men in all areas of the public and private sectors, resulting in better health outcomes and longer life expectancy. During this time, health care professionals, private corporations, faith-based organizations, government agencies, and other interested groups plan activities that focus on the health and well-being of boys, men, and their families. Men need to take charge of their health. Compared to similarly-aged women, men are less likely to have a regular doctor visits and they are more likely to put off routine checkups or delay seeing a health provider after experiencing symptoms. Let the month of June be a reminder to talk to health professionals and to learn about important screenings that assist with finding conditions before they get worse. How can you help create awareness? Tell your friends and family to rally and recognize June as Men’s health awareness month by wearing blue! Join the people all over the world by taking pictures of themselves and others wearing blue and post on social media sites to increase awareness. One of the most loving things you can do to Celebrate Father’s Day this year is help to spread the word about men’s health awareness month. Encourage the men in your life to learn more about Men’s Health Awareness month and get regular check ups, stick with a healthy diet and get plenty of exercise.
