The month of May is National Skin Cancer Awareness Month and we at Spavia want to take a moment to emphasize the importance of facials and sunscreen in the fight against skin cancer. While we recognize that the arsenal against this prevalent disease is extensive but two seemingly simple yet profoundly effective tools have shown considerable promise in not just battling but also preventing skin cancer.
Sunscreen: The Unseen Shield
The sun is a great source of vitamin D, but the sun's rays that can cause irreparable damage to our skin cells, potentially leading to various forms of skin cancer, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. Sunscreen acts as a barrier, filtering out harmful rays and significantly reducing the risk of skin damage. One of our biggest partners at Spavia is Image Skincare, and not only do we apply their sunscreen after each facial treatment, but we also offer their Daily Prevention in for purchase in our retail boutique. We emphasize the importance that sunscreen is not just for sunny days at the beach, but that it should be a daily staple as UV rays can penetrate through clouds and windows.
Facials for Combating Sun Damage
When it comes to combating sun damage, certain types of facials are particularly beneficial due to their ingredients and processes, which are designed to repair and protect the skin. Facials can enhance the skin's ability to heal and regenerate, making it better equipped to repair any damage caused by UV exposure. The targeted treatments used in facials, such as exfoliation, moisturizing, and the application of antioxidants, can fortify the skin's defenses against environmental aggressors, including the sun.
Our specially formulated chemical peels cater to all skin types, and our Spavia experienced estheticians analyze your skin to prescribe the best peel for your skin type that will deliver results. One specific facial treatment at Spavia known as the Skin Renewal Peel, helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, sun damage, scars, and blemishes. Rapid exfoliation smoothes the upper layer of skin sending a signal to make new skin cells. Your Spavia facial is completed with our Skin Cancer Foundation approved dry mineral sunscreen for a perfect match and natural flawless finish.
The Dual Defense: Pairing Sunscreen and Facial Treatments
The dual approach of integrating both sunscreen and personalized facials into your skincare regimen creates a formidable defense mechanism against skin cancer. Sunscreen serves as the immediate protector, shielding the skin from the sun's harmful rays, while facials work on a deeper level, maintaining the skin's health and its ability to repair and protect itself. Together, they offer a comprehensive strategy that not only fights against skin cancer but also promotes skin health, ensuring that our largest organ remains at its healthiest version. Incorporating facials and sunscreen into our daily lives signifies a commitment to not just skin health but overall well-being. It's a reminder that sometimes, the most straightforward practices can have the most profound impacts. Don’t underestimate the power of this dual defense. Every layer of protection counts.
