Keeping Your Skin Healthy While Pregnant
Courtesy of Bay Harbour Med Spa. Thanks for stopping by our informative skin care blog. For those of you who are not familiar with us, our authentic European med spa is located within walking distance of the luxurious St. Regis hotel in Bal Harbor, Florida.
Today’s topic will cover skin care specific to pregnant women. Here are some common skin problems affecting pregnant women, as well as their solutions:
- Pregnancy Mask, aka melasma and chlosma- this basically means that the skin’s pigment becomes darker in areas of the face. You may know this to be called as pregnancy mask. Appearance usually is noticeable on the forehead and cheeks. Hormones are increased during pregnancy, causing hyperpigmentation. There are several options you have. The first, stay out of the sun and use sunblock during pregnancy. After giving birth, if not breastfeeding, you should use a hydroquinone free skin lightening product to lighten the dark spots. If you don’t live in the Miami area, we offer a worthy skin lightening system on our online store at: http://skin-lightening-store.com.
- Broken capillaries: Basically, they are tiny dilated blood vessels, which break (so to speak) by increased blood circulation. They usually appear on the face, neck and chest during the last trimester. It’s important to limit sun exposure in these regions during pregnancy. The effects usually disappear shortly after delivery; if not, gentle microdermabrasion treatments may help.
- Stretch marks: usually appear as pinkish streaks running down your abdomen and/or breast. A vitamin E lotion may help, as well as Cocoa Butter lotion, which will help keep the area hydrated and lubricated.
- Sensitive skin: The skin is more sensitive during pregnancy, especially to the sun. We advise that you use simple products (naturally derived, with not much alcohol in them), and use sunscreen If you live in South Florida, we offer customized skin care products at our skin care bar. We will be blend products containing only the purest of natural ingredients, specific to your skin’s needs. Please feel free to call us at 30.864.8824 for a complementary consultation.

Bad Eating Habits Can Lead To Problematic Skin
Thanks for stopping by Bay Harbour Med Spa’s blog. If you’re not familiar with us, we are an authentic European med spa, located minutes from the luxurious St. Regis Hotel and Resort in Bal Harbor, Florida.
Today’s short article will cover your skin’s DNA. If your skin seems dull, uneven, blemished, or the aging process has expedited, your skin’s DNA needs repairing. Sounds complicated, does it not? Actually, it’s not!
DNA damage to the skin is caused by excess exposure to the sun, bad eating habits, tanning beds, excessive alcohol consumption and the like. We’re sure you get the idea. If any of this is familiar to you, the solution is simple. Avoid the bad habits above, and in no time, you will experience the renewal and protection of skin tone and texture.
Skin Care For Men: Why Men Can’t Afford To Neglect Their Skin
Bay Harbour Med Spa (located between Sunny Isles, Miami and Miami Beach) specializes in skin care specific for men’s skin. As a matter of fact, 45% of our clients are men. Men need skin care services just as much as women.
It’s extremely important that if you’re a man (not matter the age), you take note of why skin care, facials and proper skin care regimen is so important. Why? Well, simple! Think about the problems caused by shaving and excessive sun exposure from long hours of exposure to the sun (from playing golf, to driving from place to place, from the beach, from playing sports and so on).
What’s more, many men do not have the best eating habits and poor food choices often lead to poor skin complexion and texture. An added issue, is that most men either do not read labels or don’t know what to look for when buying skin care products. They just pick whatever they see on the shelves of drug stores and the like.
While many men have thought or considered a facial, they may be shy or uncomfortable because of the stigma that only women should get facials. Or that it’s not a masculine service to seek out. Nothing can be further from the truth! Good skin care and a healthy balanced diet is no less masculine or feminine. It is imperative for overall good health.
Men from their teens on, will benefit from a deep and purifying skin rejuvenating facial which includes the following: steaming, exfoliation, abrasion and extractions. We apply corrective serums on sun-damaged or irritated areas, followed by natural, nourishing, healing masks which we apply onto the face, neck and upper chest.
Once you experience a proper men’s facial at Bay Harbour Med Spa your skin will look and feel like it never has before.
