FaceMD Natural Exfoliator and Hydrating Facial Cream

Carol Langsdon of The Langsdon Clinic says her favorite products for fall are the FaceMD Natural Exfoliator ($60) along with the Hydrating Facial Cream ($80). “FaceMD Natural Exfoliator is by far one of our favorite skincare products that was formulated for our clinic over 10 years ago. It is a must for fall skincare to begin the repair from summer damage and is used with a medical-grade skin care system,” she says. But like many things, it works even better with a sister product. “For the face, I recommend the FaceMD hydrating facial cream. It has loads of hyaluronic acid in it, and we have been using it for over 10 years.”

Hydrating facial cream

“This ultra-penetrating cream soothes, hydrates and restores skin’s natural content. With continued use, hyaluronic acid helps to hydrate and lubricate tissue to nourish skin while improving lines and wrinkles,” says Carol Langsdon of The Langsdon Clinic, where you can find it for $80.

HydraFacial Treatment

Kate Gassaway of Solutions Medical Center says, “The HydraFacial treatment is the newest advance in non-laser skin resurfacing. It is the only hydradermabrasion procedure that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration and antioxidant protection simultaneously. This results in clearer, more beautiful skin with no discomfort or downtime.”

HydraFacial Treatment

The HydraFacial treatment improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, congested and enlarged pores, oily or acne-prone skin, hyperpigmentation and brown spots. Different treatment packages are available. Call Solutions Medical Center at (901) 853-6428 to learn more. Image: Kate Gassaway

Facial serums

Dry, tired skin needs just a little bit of moisture to repair it from the hot, summer sun. Mona Sappenfield of Mona Esthetics says, “Facial serums perform in the skin’s sub-epidermal layer. It will renew and keep the skin hydrated and in balance with nurturing hyaluronic acid peptides and soothing vitamins. You will see a difference for skin rejuvenation for face, neck and hands.”

HAIR PRODUCTS & TREATMENTS

Hair color

Several of the stylists at Great Lengths say that fall is the best time for Brazilian blowouts and a hair color change. Carol Bakowicz, the owner of Great Lengths, says, “Enhancements for fall with dimension to hair is very popular — balayage, baby lights, highlights and lowlights with an Elumen gloss.”

Stylist Brooke Ansley adds, “Fall hair color is strawberry blonde and adding caramel to brown hair to create dimension. Icy blondes are a big thing for the colder weather.”

Maribel Rhoda, another stylist at Great Lengths, says, “Love the Brazilian blowout ionic spray to smooth your frizz for a perfect fall finish!”

Professional blowouts are the best thing for your hair in the fall!

“Fall is the perfect time for professional blowouts for your weekend. Decreased humidity warrants a longer lasting style for your entire weekend,” says Melody Birdsong, stylist at Great Lengths. Image: Carol Bakowicz

Short hair is trendy for fall!

“Short hair for fall trends is my favorite. Sexy, sassy and fun,” says Great Lengths stylist Paula Capers. Image: Carol Bakowicz

Laser Treatment & SkinMedica’s Lytera System

DeDe Sellers, RN, at The Skin Clinics, says, “I love getting rid of sun damage and tired, drooping skin with our laser! A good combination of erbium and IPL, it can make you look years younger with very little downtime.” Along with this laser, there is a system that coincides. “When you follow up the laser with a superior product like SkinMedica’s Lytera system, which shuts down the color producing dendrites in the skin, you get long-lasting, sustainable, youthful results that make your skin glow,” she adds.
