The Team Guide to S. Thetics Skincare Favorites

When it comes to skincare, knowledge of the skin, skin conditions, proper ingredients, and education is imperative from someone you trust means so much more than an ad in a magazine or a commercial on TV.

At S. Thetics Medspa and Wellbeing, we want to recommend only the best medical-grade products to our patients, which is why we gathered our team of skincare experts to give you the scoop on all our MUST-HAVE skincare products.

Our entire S. Thetics Medspa and Wellbeing team was given the difficult task of choosing just one skincare product that they cannot live without and why it is a must-have in their skincare routine. As skincare professionals, these ladies have tried it all, from the good, the bad, and the absolute best, and they are here to share their favorites with you!

Ugh so hard to name just one…I had to shout out my two favorites at the moment!

A very common occurrence we see and I was certainly guilty of myself for years was neglecting my neck and decollete (chest) while I was using all these amazing products for my face!

NeoFirm Neck & Decollete Tightening Cream is rich in peptides, packed with antioxidants and potent patented growth factors that rebuild collagen and elastin to restore the thin, sagging neck skin. The skin on our neck is very different from the skin on our face so we have to treat it differently and accordingly! I use it every morning and night!

AND……..

Skin looking a little “rough” after a Halo Laser treatment? It’s Alastin Rejuvenating Nectar to the rescue! This is the best product for pre and post treatment of our advanced aesthetic treatments such as Morpheus8, FYBBL, or the Halo laser. I just had a Halo treatment recently (right) that had ME looking a little rough for a few days while my skin healed and this product aided in a quicker healing time immensely!  It actually both preps your skin for a week or more before the treatment (think preparing your garden soil to plant and produce the best looking flowers) and then it’s great post-procedure to aid in healing and maintaining your skin (think fertilizing your flowers to keep them looking their best)!  It's very lightweight and has a smooth silky feel!

I can really feel the difference in my skin the day after using the AlphaRet peel pads compared to when I don't! My skin feels awake, glowy, firm, and just overall refreshed! SkinBetter’s AlphaRet products provide amazing results with little to no irritation, compared to traditional retinol products that can cause irritation and dryness. They really hit the nail on the head with their AlphaRet products, which contain salicylic acid, glycolic and lactic as well. Typically, my skin gets very red, flakey, and irritated when using retinoids, but they have formulated this proprietary retinol blend to avoid the harshness most skin types experience with regular retinoids/retinol. An absolute home run with the peel pads that incorporate the retinol! And they're great for my Melasma and keeping it contained between my melasma treatments throughout the year!

Registered Nurse Injector

I love Neocutis firm! It is our best line of defense for the thinning skin around our eyes. This product supports collagen and elastin production with proprietary growth factors & peptides to improve firmness, elasticity, tone, and texture. The skin around the eyes is the thinnest on the face, 40% thinner to be exact, that’s why we have to treat it different than the rest of our skin! Neocutis is the daily & nightly workhorse that comes to the rescue with growth factors and peptides to stimulate new cell growth in the area and has caffeine for combating puffiness. Neocutis Firm is my go-to for tired eyes!

Registered Nurse Injector

A serum that lightens, brightens, and moisturizes all at the same time! It includes a combination of proprietary peptides to reduce wrinkles and reverse signs of aging and even helps sunscreens work better. It feels light going on the skin and it’s hypoallergenic formula makes it great for all skin types. It really feels like a healthy drink your skin has been waiting for! Vitamins C & E combined only boost the effects of each other and Vivier has the best Vitamin C’s on the market today!

Registered Nurse Injector

As we age, the skin under our eyes becomes thin, dry, puffy, and crepey. Skin Better EyeMax contains retinol and alpha hydroxy acids specially formulated for that delicate skin around the eyes. I use this at night as a compliment to my morning Neocutis Lumiere Firm. EyeMax visibly improves my under-eye area, making it more plump and smooth. 

Registered Nurse Injector

This foaming cleanser is safe to use while pregnant and breastfeeding and SO good at keeping the skin clear. While I was pregnant, I struggled to keep oil production under control and my face clear since many products were off the table while pregnant and nursing my baby. Using the Tizo cleanser cleared my pores without stripping my skin and kept me breakout-free, regardless of the crazy hormones!! Gentle yet EFFECTIVE!

Esthetician

I love the idea of protective sunscreen over the delicate eye area. This lightly tinted 3-in-1 Renewal Therapy SPF 35 works to improve the appearance of dark circles, puffiness, fine lines, and wrinkles while the 100% mineral sunscreen formula protects the delicate eye area against sun damage and premature aging.

This super lightweight mineral sunscreen uniquely color corrects and matches your skin tone as well as provides loads of hydration. The SPF 50 protects from UVA/UVB rays, blue light, and other damaging environmental pollutants. I apply it in the morning, in lieu of makeup, and it provides all-day lightweight yet buildable coverage. There are four different shades, so it can be used for all skin tones, and you can't beat the price -- under $50 for complete protection!

I love these both so much, that I can't pick just one! Together, they are a great serum combination.  The Alto Defense serum is the best antioxidant serum, loaded with 19 total!  The Even tone correcting serum has helped so much with lightning my brown spots and red pigmentation.  I love to use these two products together when my skin gets really dry!  Or you can use the Even tone in the morning and the Alto in the evening.
