How and When to Screen for Skin Cancer

by July 31, 2023

Do you know what you need to do to screen for skin cancer?

If not, this post will help!

What Is Skin Cancer?

According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, one out of five Americans will develop skin cancer by the age of 70.

In general, skin cancer is when DNA damage triggers out-of-control growth of abnormal skin cells in the outermost layer. This growth can cause malignant tumors.

There are four main types of skin cancer.

Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)

This is when abnormal, cancerous growths arise from the skin’s basal cells in the outermost layer of the skin (epidermis). These cancers usually show up on areas of the skin that are regularly exposed to the sun, like the face, ears, neck, scalp, shoulders, and back.

BCC is the most common form of skin cancer, and is typically curable, particularly when caught early.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)

This is when abnormal squamous cells in the outermost layer of the skin start to grow uncontrollably. These cancers also show up in areas of the skin that are regularly exposed to the sun.

SCC is the second most common form of skin cancer. When caught early, it’s usually curable.

Melanoma

This cancer develops from melanocytes, the skin cells that produce melanin pigment. Melanin gives the skin its color. Melanomas look like moles and can appear on any area of the body, even those not typically exposed to the sun. They’re often triggered by intense, intermittent sun exposure that leads to sunburn.

Melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer. It can be cured when caught early. If not treated in its early stages, it can spread to other organs and may be deadly.

Merkel Cell Carcinoma

This is a rare, aggressive form of skin cancer. It forms tumors that appear as firm, painless lesions or nodules on a sun-exposed area of the skin. It often shows up on the head and neck, and frequently on the eyelids.

MCC is dangerous and comes with a high risk of recurrence and metastasizing, often within two to three years after initial diagnosis. It is 40 times more rare than melanoma.

When Should I Screen for Skin Cancer?

Skin cancer can be serious, but the good thing is that it’s one of the easiest cancers to treat when caught early.

The other good thing is that you can detect these cancers yourself if you regularly check your skin. Being familiar with what your skin looks like and any unusual changes that happen can help you be proactive when it comes to your health.

The Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) Cancer Center recommends that you check your skin once a month. Look for skin spots or moles that are new or changing. This can help you discover any possible problems early.

What’s Involved In A Skin Self-Exam?

Start by getting a hand mirror. Then, undress and stand in front of a large, full-length mirror.

Slowly and carefully check every area of your skin. Remember that cancer can form anywhere, even on areas that aren’t normally exposed to the sun.

In general, you’re looking for anything that seems abnormal. Early skin cancer cells can look like any of the following:

Scaly, crusty, and rough
Flat patches of skin
Irregularly shaped moles or raised areas
A mole or bump that bleeds
Moles that have changed color, shape, or size
New growths or bumps
A rash that doesn’t go away
A wart-like growth that is changing
Skin tags that bleed or itch

You can also follow the ABCDEs of melanoma. Look for anything that is:

Asymmetric: The two halves of the mole do not match.
Border: The borders are uneven.
Color: There are several different shades (brown, black, tan, etc).
Diameter: Melanomas are usually larger in diameter than the eraser on a pencil.
Evolving: The area is changing in size, shape, and color, or is bleeding or crusting.

If you see anything like this that concerns you, make an appointment with your dermatologist for a medical screening.

A Step-by-Step Approach to a Self-Exam

Start with your face, ears, and chest. Then go to your belly. Women should lift their breasts and examine the skin underneath them.

Next, move to your arms and hands. Make sure to bend your elbows and check underneath, look at your armpits, check the back of your arms, and examine each finger.

Next, sit down and check your legs, knees, thighs, calves, and shins. Don’t forget the back side of your legs. Use your hand mirror and the large mirror to see them if you need to.

Next, move to your feet. Check the top, between the toes, and the soles. Make sure your fingernails and toenails look healthy, as some cancers can develop under the nails.

Now look at your neck and scalp. Push your hair aside to examine all areas of the scalp. You may need a partner to help you. Finally, check your buttocks and back, along with the genital area.

It’s also a good idea to check inside your mouth. Look for any white patches or black spots on the gums, roof of the mouth, underneath the tongue, or inside your cheeks.

Do I Need to Screen for Skin Cancer with a Dermatologist?

Recommendations vary on getting screened for skin cancer.

The U.S. Preventative Task Force, which regularly sets standards for cancer screenings, has concluded that the current evidence “is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of visual skin examination by a clinician to screen for skin cancer in adolescents and adults.”

The MSK Cancer Center agrees, noting that self-exams are sufficient for people at normal risk. If you are at high risk for skin cancer, however, annual exams with your dermatologist are a good idea.

The American Cancer Society (ACS) does not have guidelines for early detection of skin cancer either. They recommend knowing your skin. They also note that regular skin exams with a doctor are important for people who are at high risk, such as those with reduced immunity, who’ve had skin cancer before, and who have a strong family history of skin cancer.

The Skin Cancer Foundation, however, recommends annual screening with a dermatologist once a year for everyone, and more often for those at higher risk.

Risk factors include:

A family history of melanoma in two or more relatives related by blood.
Many moles or atypical moles.
Many actinic keratoses spots (these are precancerous lesions that appear like gray or pink scaly patches).
A personal history of many basal cell or squamous cell skin cancers.

What Happens During a Skin Cancer Screening Appointment?

If you go to a doctor for a skin cancer screening, you’ll remove your clothes and put on a medical exam gown. Usually, you don’t have to remove your underwear unless you have a spot on your genitals that concerns you.

Your doctor will thoroughly check your skin from head to toe. Some use a small handheld magnifying device that helps them see the layers of the skin just under the surface.

If the doctor notices anything suspicious, he or she may order a biopsy. That requires removing part or all of the lesion and sending it to the lab for testing. If the results show that the spot is cancerous, your doctor will advise you on the next steps.

Screen for Skin Cancer to Protect Yourself

Remember that with skin cancer, early detection is key. Motivated by my personal experiences with cancer, I know all too well how important early detection is. The sooner you find any suspicious areas, the higher your odds of being able to treat them, often with minimally invasive treatments.

CV Skinlabs was born from a need to provide safe and effective skin care solutions for those going thru cancer treatments. It’s part of our company mission to help support the organizations that are working hard to help prevent cancer, provide comfort, and raise awareness. Read more about how we give back here.

6 Summer Pregnancy Skincare Tips to Keep You Glowing

by July 29, 2023

written by

Pregnant moms often have one question: Do you have any pregnancy skincare tips?

That’s because pregnancy can wreak havoc on your skin.

Hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, acne, and more can appear out of the blue as your hormones change.

How do you manage all these changes?

We can help!

Pregnancy Skincare Tips: What to Expect

According to a 2022 study, a majority of pregnant women develop skin changes, including worsening of preexisting skin conditions or the appearance of new problems. Many of these changes are due to differences in hormone levels, but some changes can occur without any known exact cause.

In an earlier study, researchers found that more than 90 percent of women have significant and complex skin changes during pregnancy that can have a big impact on their lives. Most of these resolve themselves after childbirth, but some can linger after that.

The researchers added that hormonal changes, immune changes, metabolic changes, and vascular changes all have a part to play in creating these skincare issues.

All this means that if you’re experiencing skincare changes during pregnancy, it’s completely normal. It happens to most pregnant women. So the question is, what can you do about it?

Rescue + Relief Pregnancy

A Couple of Helpful Tips About Pregnancy Skincare Changes

First, it’s helpful to know that while you can adjust your skincare routine to help reduce the appearance of skin care problems, you can’t completely erase them from your body. As long as you’re pregnant, your body will continue to produce different levels of hormones while undergoing other changes to support your baby.

Though you can certainly improve the condition of your skin, you may not be able to completely eradicate any issues you may be having. Do your best, then try to relax and accept that your body is creating a miracle!

It’s likely that once your child is born, your skin will gradually start to go back to normal. For some, the issues may persist while breastfeeding.

Different women will notice different changes. What your friend experiences while pregnant may be different from what you experience. Pay attention to your skin and what it’s telling you to determine what adjustments you may need to make in your skincare routine.

6 Pregnancy Skincare Tips to Minimize Unwanted Changes

1. Hyperpigmentation Changes

Studies indicate that pigmentary (color) changes are the most common side effect of pregnancy on the skin. Elevated levels of estrogen and progesterone increase melanin output. Melanin is the compound that creates the color of your skin.

As pregnancy hormones increase, melanin often increases. That can result in freckles (or darker existing freckles), darkened scars, a linea nigra (hyperpigmented line on the abdomen), and melasma (the “mask” of pregnancy that appears on the face). Some women also develop dark spots on the breasts, nipples, or inner thighs.

Tips to manage hyperpigmentation:

Always protect your skin from the sun. Sun exposure can make hyperpigmentation even darker and more noticeable. Use a safe, non-toxic sunscreen that includes zinc oxide.
Use safe lightening skincare solutions. Good options include those with vitamin C and kojic acid. Avoid products with hydroquinone. There are some concerns that it can damage the skin. Also avoid steroids, as studies have suggested they may increase the risk of low-birth-weight infants.
You can also try gentle fruit acids like mandelic acid. It is a natural melanin inhibitor and is safe for pregnant moms.
Our Restorative Skin Balm includes castor oil, which is incredibly effective in fading dark spots. Regular use can help even out skin tone. It also includes turmeric. Studies have proven that turmeric helps protect against the formation of dark spots, improving pigmentation, unevenness of skin tone and texture. Best of all, the product is 100% natural, non-petrolatum, and completely safe for you and baby

2. Stretch Marks

These are partial tears in the structures of the skin that can occur as your belly expands to accommodate the fetus. They usually appear as pinkish, reddish, or blue streaks running down the abdomen and/or breasts. Some women find them on the buttocks and thighs as well.

Stretch marks can become dark because of the changes in melanin, and are also considered a hyperpigmentation effect.

Tips to manage stretch marks:

As soon as you know you’re pregnant, start preventative care. Apply moisturizer daily to the abdomen and breasts to help keep the skin hydrated and flexible.
Look for products with vitamin E. Scientists suggest that it can help prevent water loss in the skin during pregnancy. Our Body Repair Lotion has this ingredient along with several others that will help shore up the skin barrier, reduce inflammation, and deeply moisturize.

Calming Moisture Pregnancy

3. Acne

Acne is another very common issue that can show up during pregnancy. A spike in androgen and cortisol hormones stimulates skin oil (sebum) production and increases dead skin cells, leading to breakouts.

Unfortunately, acne products—including retinoids and benzoyl peroxide—are usually not recommended during pregnancy. That means you need to look for safer alternatives.

Tips to manage acne:

Mandelic acid can help. It is extra gentle and safe for use during pregnancy. Plus it has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties to help reduce acne breakouts.
Use an exfoliating cleanser. Stepping up your exfoliation can help shed those dead skin cells that tend to block pores.
Don’t overwash your face. It can stimulate more oil production. Instead, limit it to two times a day and after heavy sweating. In between, try our Rescue + Relief Spray for a refreshing facial mist. It’s non-comdogenic, oil free, and contains natural anti-microbial ingredients to help prevent breakouts. It also balances the skin’s natural pH and is completely safe for pregnant women.
Try low-concentration salicylic acid preparations. You can find it in cleansers and serums that you apply before your moisturizer.
Use other safe acids. These include azelaic acid and lactic acid. They also help shed dead skin cells without stripping your skin of moisture. You can find toners with these ingredients that can be very safe to use.

4. Dry, Itchy Skin

As your skin changes during pregnancy, you may notice areas of dry, itchy skin. Some women suffer from severe itching later in pregnancy. In rare cases, this may be accompanied by red, raised patches. Always check with your doctor if you have any concerns.

Tips to manage dry, itchy skin:

Wash your skin with mild, fragrance-free cleansers.
Add uncooked oatmeal or baking soda to your bath and soak.
Use a quality moisturizer on the area at least twice a day. Our Calming Moisture and Body Repair Lotion both include ingredients that not only moisturize deeply but address inflammation and itch.
Use our Rescue + Relief Spray during the day to calm the itch, and especially during the third trimester to soothe that itchy belly. It contains aloe, cucumber, waterlily, valerian, and comfrey to help soothe and calm skin.

5. Sensitive Skin

Pregnancy can make skin more sensitive. Products you were using before with no problem may start causing your skin to react with redness, inflammation, or breakouts.

Tips to manage sensitive skin:

Start using gentler, fragrance-free products. Avoid those with sulfates, alcohols, parabens, and ureas, and choose products from conscientious companies that are cautious about the ingredients they include in their solutions.
All of our CV Skinlabs products are 100 percent toxin free and safe for use during pregnancy. You can even use them on your newborn!
Check your laundry detergent. Some harsh detergents can contribute to skin sensitivity. You may want to change to a gentler, fragrance-free option while you’re pregnant.

6. Rosacea and Redness

Pregnancy can exacerbate preexisting skin conditions like rosacea. It can also cause redness to appear more regularly on your cheeks or other areas of your skin.

Tips for managing rosacea and redness:

Look for redness-reducing solutions like our CV Skinlabs products.
Apply cooled green tea to the affected areas. It can help reduce the appearance of tiny blood vessels close to the surface of the skin.
Use our Rescue + Relief Spray as needed to calm inflammation and redness.

How Long Should You Wait Before Coolsculpting Sessions?

by July 28, 2023

written by

Have trouble reducing that belly fat and love handles using the ‘organic’ ways that have been there for as long as you can remember? Not everyone can afford to rigorously exercise or the downtime that comes with treatments like Liposuction, but that’s where Coolsculpting does the job.

CoolSculpting is one of the most popular body sculpting and fat loss treatments out there. It non-surgically eliminates stubborn pockets of fat cells from your problem areas, leaving you with a slimmer, more contoured look to enjoy without any hassle or downtime!

But while CoolSculpting can be incredibly effective for targeted spot-reduction, it’s important to understand when the optimal time intervals should be between each treatment session to maximise its effects. In this blog post, we’ll cover what exactly CoolSculpting is, the number of coolsculpting sessions needed for optimal results, as well as how long you need to wait in between sessions for the best results

What Is Coolsculpting?

If you’re tired of hitting the gym or following those rigorous, hard-on-the-brain diet routines, coolsculpting is the game-changer you’ve been looking for.

This non-invasive cosmetic treatment freezes your fat cells, causing them to break down and naturally flush them out of your system. Coolsculpting offers a safer and less invasive alternative to liposuction, with no downtime and significantly less risk.

It’s a quick and painless procedure that targets specific areas of your body, effectively sculpting them to your desired shape.

How Does Coolsculpting Work?

Coolsculpting is a non-invasive, FDA-approved cosmetic procedure that aims to reduce and eliminate stubborn fat in specific areas of the body. It’s a safe, effective, and painless method that works by targeting the fat cells in your body without harming surrounding tissues.

Targeting The Fat Cells

During the process, the applicator gently pulls the targeted tissue between the cooling panels and then delivers controlled cooling to the unwanted fat cells underneath the skin causing them to freeze. The Coolsculpting treatment can reduce the fat layer by up to 25%.

Elimination From The Body

The next step in Coolsculpting is the body’s natural process of flushing out the fat cells by phagocytosis or the cell removal process by immune cells.

Once Coolsculpting freezes the fat cells, it damages the cell membrane, causing them to crystallise and die off. This triggers the body’s lymphatic system to flush the damaged cells out of the body through the liver within several weeks to a month of treatment. It’s effortless and painless, and the results are quite visible.

Targeted Treatment

Unlike other weight loss treatments, Coolsculpting only targets the problem areas of the body where fat pockets accumulate, including areas like the thighs, abdomen, love handles, back, upper arms, and under the chin.

These areas are prone to stubborn pockets of fat that don’t go away with diet or exercise. This treatment provides targeted and noticeable results, reducing the total fat volume in certain areas.

How Long Should You Wait Between Coolsculpting Sessions?

While there’s no one-size-fits-all answer, experts generally recommend waiting at least four weeks between treatments to give your body time to heal and adjust.

However, if you’re looking for more dramatic results, waiting six weeks or more might be better. Additionally, it’s important to consult with your provider to create a personalised treatment plan that takes your individual needs and goals into account.

By spacing out your Coolsculpting sessions strategically, you can achieve the best possible results and boost your self-confidence with a sleeker, more sculpted physique.

Conclusion

And that’s it for today, folks. We’ve dived into the depths of coolsculpting, what it is, how it’s beneficial, and the amount of time you need to wait in between coolsculpting sessions to get the most out of this modern fat-reducing treatment. Though, if we’ve missed anything, make sure to put that down below, or start digging on the internet for more answers, and some peace of time.

To recap, the ideal time interval between Coolsculpting sessions varies depending on a variety of factors, including the amount of fat, the desired results, and the technique used.

A common rule is to wait at least 4-6 weeks between sessions, but this can vary. Your Coolsculpting provider can tailor your treatment plan to fit your specific needs and goals, and it’s important to remember that the results are gradual.

By working with your Coolsculpting provider, you can achieve your ideal body shape and feel confident in your skin.

Gluten and Dry Skin, Rashes, Eczema, and Psoriasis

by July 28, 2023

written by

Is there a connection between gluten and dry skin?

According to researchers and health organizations, there is.

In addition to that, gluten sensitivity or intolerance may cause other skin issues like itching, rashes, and dermatitis.

What is the Connection Between Gluten and Dry Skin?

Scientists say it’s common for intestinal diseases—like celiac disease—to cause symptoms in the skin.

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system overreacts to the ingestion of gluten—a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye.

When people with celiac disease consume gluten, it triggers an immune response in the small intestine. The immune system reacts as if gluten is a dangerous invader, creating inflammation. Over time, this reaction can damage the lining of the small intestine which in turn, can affect how well the small intestine absorbs nutrients from food.

According to the Mayo Clinic, people with celiac disease may notice symptoms like the following:

Anemia
Loss of bone density
Itchy, blistery skin rash
Mouth ulcers
Headaches and fatigue
Numbness and tingling in the feet and hands
Joint pain

Additional research shows that celiac disease—and even gluten sensitivity—may also be related to other skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema.

CV Skinlabs Gluten Sensitivity

When Gluten Causes Blistering Rashes

The most well-known skin-related issue related to celiac disease is a condition called dermatitis herpetiformis (DH).

This is a chronic, intensely itchy, blistering skin rash. It tends to show up on the elbows, knees, buttocks, back, or scalp. Some people experience a burning sensation before the lesions form.

DH is caused by deposits of immunoglobulin A (IgA) in the skin. These are proteins or antibodies the immune system uses to fight against foreign invaders. When people with celiac disease consume gluten, the immune system creates these antibodies to fight it.

These antibodies, in turn, create inflammation that damages the lining of the small intestine. They can also trigger blister-like lesions on the skin.

In a large population study, researchers found that celiac patients were 1.5 times more likely to develop hives and almost two times more likely to develop chronic hives than the general population.

Celiac Disease and Psoriasis, Eczema

Studies have also found a link between celiac disease and psoriasis and eczema.

In one meta-analysis, scientists discovered that psoriasis patients were three times more likely to develop celiac disease than those without psoriasis. Other evidence has shown that those with psoriasis were almost 2.5 times more likely to have anti-gluten antibodies.

Several studies show that the two conditions share common genetic and inflammatory pathways.

Interestingly, some small clinical trials have shown that a gluten-free diet can help decrease the symptoms of psoriasis.

Other studies have shown a connection between gluten-related health issues and atopic dermatitis (AD), or eczema. In 2014, scientists reported that among children with celiac, AD was common. An earlier study showed that AD was about 3 times more frequent in patients with celiac disease.

Gluten and Dry Skin: Gluten Sensitivity

Some people are sensitive to gluten, even though they may not have celiac disease.

The difference between celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity is that people with celiac disease suffer intestinal damage when they eat gluten.

People who have non-celiac gluten sensitivity or intolerance do not have intestinal damage or the antibodies found in those with celiac disease.

They may, however, notice symptoms after eating foods with gluten in them. These may include:

Bloating and gas
Fatigue
Nausea
Diarrhea and/or constipation
Headaches
Brain fog
Joint pain
Mood swings

They may also find that consuming gluten leads to exacerbation of skin problems.

Many people with gluten sensitivity, like myself, suffer from very dry skin and report their skin is flaky and sometimes develops rashes, acne, and patches of eczema.

According to a 2021 review, non-celiac gluten sensitivity or intolerance may be linked to psoriasis, atopic dermatitis (eczema), and vitiligo (lightening of the skin).

Gluten and Sensitive Skin

Gluten and Dry Skin: Does It Help to Change Your Diet?

In a 2015 study, researchers found that participants diagnosed with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) who also suffered from skin lesions improved after they adopted a gluten-free diet.

In a 2018 study, researchers also noted that those with NCGS commonly suffered from dermatitis, rash, and eczema. Some had scaly lesions resembling psoriasis. In all patients, a gluten-free diet led to the disappearance of the lesions within one month.

These studies aren’t conclusive. In other words, we don’t know for sure if a gluten-free diet will solve any skin issues you may have related to the ingestion of gluten. But there is evidence that in some people, it might.

Gluten and Dry Skin: Steps to Try

Every day we learn more about how closely connected are the digestive system and the skin. Both contain immune cells that if triggered by dietary factors, can overreact. (Read more about the immune system in your skin here!)

If you know you have celiac disease or are gluten intolerant and are struggling with skin problems like dryness, eczema, psoriasis, hives, or other issues, you may wonder if a gluten-free diet may help.

The only thing you can do is try it. Keep in mind, however, that following a gluten-free diet can be difficult. It’s best to turn to this option only if you know you have celiac disease or have been diagnosed with NCGS. Otherwise, it may be best to simply cut back on your intake of gluten-containing foods. (Find a list of gluten-containing foods here.)

At my doctor’s recommendation, I adopted a gluten-free diet and it has indeed helped me feel better.

If you do decide to go completely gluten-free, be wary of commercially made gluten-free foods. Many contain extra fat or sugar, so always read your ingredient labels.

Then be sure to take proper care of your skin to help increase its defenses against inflammation. We recommend our CV Skinlabs products. All of our products are gluten-free and contain ingredients that help tame inflammation and calm the skin while building up the outer layer so that it’s more resistant to problems. Plus, moisturizing and healing ingredients keep skin supple while reducing symptoms of eczema, psoriasis, flaking, itching, rashes, and other associated skin issues.

How To Start Your Own Beauty Business

by July 20, 2023

Are you looking to start a successful hair salon? Opening your own beauty business can be an exciting and rewarding experience. But it requires careful planning, knowledge of industry trends, and the right resources. In this article, we’ll discuss how to get started with opening a successful hair salon by covering topics such as creating a business plan, finding customers, hiring staff, and managing finances. We’ll also provide tips on marketing your services and setting up shop for success. Whether you’re just starting out or have been in the beauty industry for years, this guide will help you take the steps needed to open a profitable salon that stands out from the competition.

Creating A Detailed Business Plan

A successful hair salon starts with creating an effective business plan. This document is the foundation of your beauty business and will outline your goals, operations, and finances. Your business plan should include a summary of what services you’ll provide, how much start-up capital you need to get started, who your target customers are, and more. Additionally, it’s important to research the competition and determine how you can stand out in the industry. Creating a comprehensive business plan will help you stay organized, attract investors and ensure that your salon is profitable from day one.

Finding The Right Equipment And Supplies

Once you’ve created a business plan, it’s time to start setting up shop. Outfitting your salon with the right equipment and supplies is essential for providing quality services. For instance, whether you decide to go with Hanzo shears, or any other type of cutting tools, investing in high-quality equipment will ensure your products and services are top-notch. You should also consider stocking up on styling products from trusted brands to meet the needs of your customers. It’s important to research the latest trends in hair styling tools and product lines so you can give customers the best experience possible.

You’ll also want to think about other supplies like towel warmers, shampoo bowls, and chairs. Compiling all the necessary resources need to properly equip your salon is key for getting things off the ground.

Finding Customers

The success of your hair salon depends on attracting loyal customers. To get started, identify who your target market is and develop a marketing strategy to reach them. Consider advertising your salon in local newspapers, magazines, or radio stations, as well as posting flyers and handing out business cards. Also, take advantage of online marketing by creating a website and using social media platforms like Facebook to reach potential customers. Networking events are another great way to meet people and get the word out about your business. You should also offer discounts or promotions to capture more clients.

Hiring Staff

After creating your beauty business plan and acquiring customers, it is important to hire suitable staff. To ensure an excellent team, interview potential employees and verify their references extensively. Also, make sure to provide thorough job descriptions outlining roles, responsibilities, and expectations for every position. Stay up to date with the latest styling techniques and products in the industry and ensure your team stays current too.

On the other hand, you should also consider investing in customer service training for your staff. This will help ensure every interaction with customers is a positive one and that they keep coming back to your salon.

Managing Finances

To run a successful hair salon, it’s crucial to handle your finances well. Keep track of all expenses that come with running your business including rent, utilities, supplies, and payroll. You must also create a pricing structure and budget for your marketing expenses to make a profit. You can manage your finances by hiring an accountant or by using accounting software.

For example, organizing your bookkeeping and finances can be done more easily with an online accounting program. The right software will help you create invoices, track payroll, and manage taxes quickly and accurately.

Marketing Your Services

Once you’ve opened your salon, it’s important to keep the momentum going with effective marketing strategies. This includes using traditional methods such as signage, print advertising, or radio spots as well as taking advantage of online tools like social media and email campaigns. Moreover, you may provide discounts or promotions to entice new customers or appreciate loyal ones. A lot of salons offer loyalty programs with rewards or referral incentives to reward customers for their continued patronage. When it comes to marketing, be creative and test out different strategies to find out what works best for your business.

Opening a successful hair salon takes dedication, hard work, and careful planning. By following the tips outlined in this article, you can create an effective beauty business plan to attract investors, find customers, hire staff, and manage finances. Additionally, it’s important to stay up-to-date with industry trends and invest in quality equipment that will help you provide top-notch services to your clients. With the right resources and marketing strategies in place, you can become a leader in the beauty industry by running a profitable salon that stands out from its competitors.

5 Essential Beauty Tips For Your Early Twenties

by July 19, 2023

written by

From lip fillers to various shoe styles, it can feel impossible to keep up with trends at any age. In your twenties, you have more freedom, especially if you’re looking forward to a few years of figuring yourself out as you navigate these early years of adulthood. Still, just because you’re working out who you are doesn’t mean you should ignore the need for a beauty routine, so knowing these five essential beauty tips can make it easier to establish excellent habits for the rest of your life.

Keep Your Skin Hydrated

While you don’t have much to worry about regarding wrinkles in your twenties, you may as well give your skin the best chance p[possible of staying taut. The best way to achieve this–and establish fantastic skincare habits–is by keeping it hydrated through moisturisers. You’ll need to apply this at least twice daily (morning and night) depending on where you live and if you live somewhere warm, it may be worth applying three times each day. Besides this, make sure to drink plenty of water no matter where you live.

Protect Yourself From The Sun

Similarly, protect yourself from the sun to reduce the risks of skin cancer and more. You already know how important wearing sunscreen is, but you may not be wearing it as often as you should. Many experts recommend wearing sunscreen whenever you leave the house, even on cloudy days, since you can still experience issues from prolonged sun exposure. Similarly, tanning beds can also cause problems, and while there;’s nothing wrong with having a healthy tan, you may not want to rely on this service too much in your youth.

Find Products That Benefit You

You don’t want to spend years using products that do not benefit you, so it’s always worth finding top-quality products that work for you when you’re younger and have the money to afford them. There are various products for you to consider, including moisturiser, shampoo and condition, or a clear aligner set that can help straighten your teeth for a brighter smile.

Establish Excellent Hair Care

Speaking of shampoo and conditioner, you should seek products that ensure luscious and flowing locks. Again, this can be expensive depending on which products you choose, but you can speak to someone at your preferred salon to get a better idea of what ingredients you should look for. You can also think about how to take care of your hair, whether by brushing it or applying heat treating spray after blow drying your hair.

Get Enough Sleep

Let’s face it, your twenties are when you’re likely to get the least sleep during your whole life if you spend time out with friends or family. Still, your beauty sleep ensures you are energetic and gives the collagen the chance to regenerate, which prevents sagging or bags under your eyes to look healthy and youthful for longer.

Summing Up

Everyone has a different definition of what they want from their beauty routine. But it can feel overwhelming at any age. Your twenties are a great chance to experiment with various products and find what works best for you so you can feel as confident as possible whenever you step out of the door. And hopefully these beauty tips will help you on your way.

Antioxidants in Skincare—They Do More Than You Think!

by July 11, 2023

written by

You’ve likely heard of antioxidants in skincare.

But those are just to protect against environmental elements, right?

Like the sun and pollution?

Well, yes and no. Antioxidants are protective, but they can do much more for your skin than that.

Antioxidants in SkinCare—What Are They?

Antioxidants are manmade or natural substances that can prevent or delay some types of cell damage. To understand them well, it helps to delve into basic chemistry just a little bit.

The cells in our bodies are regularly facing potential threats. One of the most constant comes from chemicals called free radicals.

These are unstable molecules that are missing an electron. Because they’re missing one, they go careening about trying to steal them from other molecules. When they do that, the victim molecule is damaged and may no longer function as it should.

Free radical damage can alter DNA, increase the risk of fatty buildup in our arteries, and alter a cell’s membrane. When there is a lot of free radical damage, it causes a condition called “oxidative stress,” which can further damage cells and lead to disease.

Where do these free radicals come from? They are naturally formed in the body as a result of metabolism. They are also formed after exercising or exposure to air pollution, sunlight, and cigarette smoke.

Fortunately, we have powerful defenses against free radical damage: antioxidants. These are molecules that happily donate electrons to free radicals without becoming damaged themselves. They also help repair the damage free radicals cause.

The body makes some of these antioxidants on its own. We also get them from food. Examples of common antioxidants include vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, selenium, manganese, coenzyme Q10, flavonoids, and polyphenols (plant chemicals).

Lemon Antioxidants

Why Antioxidants in Skincare?

It makes sense that we’d want to consume antioxidants in our diet to help prevent and repair free-radical damage inside us.

But why would we want antioxidants in our skincare products?

First, it helps to understand how free radicals damage the skin.

According to the National Institutes of Health, the skin is constantly exposed to the air, solar radiation, environmental pollution, and other insults that are capable of generating free radicals. The sun alone can cause oxidative stress in the skin, which can then develop into skin damage.

This damage shows up as:

Wrinkles
Sagging
Dryness
Dullness
Unwanted pigmentation (age spots)
Broken blood vessels

The researchers suggest that to protect the skin from these damage-inducing molecules, people should limit sun exposure, use sunscreen, and use antioxidants both orally and topically. In other words, eat foods that are rich in antioxidants and apply skincare products that include antioxidants.

How Do Antioxidants in Skincare Help the Skin?

Just as antioxidants can protect the cells inside the body, so can they protect the cells in the various layers of the skin.

When you have antioxidants in your skincare products, you are supplying the skin with the nutrients it needs to help fight off free-radical damage.

Scientists are already discovering the many ways that topical antioxidants can help the skin. Studies have shown, for example, that they can help improve the symptoms of psoriasis, decrease the risk of skin cancer, preserve collagen, and delay the appearance of aging.

In a 2021 review, researchers found that antioxidants helped protect the skin from harmful UV radiation. They suggested supplying the skin with these nutrients both through food and skincare products.

Overall, antioxidants may improve the skin by:

Reducing DNA damage
Improving hydration
Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Fading or preventing hyperpigmentation
Stimulating the production of collagen and elastin
Reducing inflammation
Moisturizing and softening

So as you can see, antioxidants in skin care do more than just protect. They are anti-aging tools that you can use to enjoy younger-looking, healthier skin. That’s why we made sure to include some powerful ones in our CV Skinlabs formulas.

Antioxidants Calming Moisture

Antioxidants in Skincare—What to Look For

Now that you know how helpful antioxidants can be, you may be wondering how to find them.

What do you look for in skincare products?

We list some of the most common and helpful antioxidants below.

Vitamin C

By far one of the most popular antioxidants in skin care, vitamin C protects your skin from UV radiation. It also helps fade hyperpigmentation and boost collagen production to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Vitamin A

You’ll find vitamin A in your skincare products by looking for “retinol” or “retinoids.” These are vitamin-A-based products that improve uneven skin tone, fade hyperpigmentation, stimulate collagen production, and in some people, help reduce acne breakouts.

Vitamin E

This antioxidant works well in combination with other antioxidants like vitamin C. It helps to stabilize them and improve their effectiveness. It also accelerates healing and treats dry skin.

Resveratrol

This antioxidant—found naturally in the skins of fruits like grapes and berries—helps reduce inflammation, calm the skin, and prevent premature aging.

Niacinamide

Known as vitamin B3, niacinamide improves skin’s texture and tone. It also helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, calms inflammation, and makes fine lines and wrinkles less noticeable.

Coenzyme Q10

Applying this antioxidant to your skin can help stimulate collagen production, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and prevent photoaging.

Turmeric

Turmeric—and especially its active compound, curcumin—is a potent antioxidant that helps reduce inflammation, deter acne, and restore a healthy glow.

Polyphenols

This is a group of antioxidants that come from fruits, vegetables, green or black tea, and other botanicals. They help reduce inflammation, prevent UV-induced skin damage, repair DNA damage, and delay the signs of aging on the skin. Examples include resveratrol, proanthocyanidins, genistein, quercetin, ellagic acid, catechins, and more.

Beta-glucan

Extracted from oats, beta-glucan has a powerful antioxidant effect. It can help protect the skin’s barrier, prevent cell damage, and soothe redness and irritation. It also helps hydrate the skin.

We Have Antioxidants Too!

At CV Skinlabs, we’ve included many different types of antioxidants in our products to ensure you get all the benefits. The ones we selected help hydrate, protect, tame inflammation, calm the skin, reduce redness and irritation, and delay the signs of aging.

Whatever skincare products you use, start checking the ingredient list to see if they contain antioxidants. With all we know, it’s the wise thing to do to preserve the health of your skin!

Do you make sure that your skincare products contain antioxidants?

4 Myths and Truths About Skin Sun Protection

by July 3, 2023

written by

In the summertime, we all tend to think a little bit more carefully about skin sun protection.

But it can be confusing.

Does SPF matter? Which sunscreen is best? Are some harmful to the skin? What about chemical vs. physical formulations?

In this post, we tackle the most common myths out there, giving you the information to make the safest choice for you and your family.

Skin Sun Protection Myth #1: The Sun Must Never Touch Your Skin!

Here in the U.S., we’re a little sun obsessed. We’re always talking about wearing sunscreen to protect from skin cancer and delay the appearance of aging.

In general, this is good advice. But it is a myth that you must never allow the sun to touch your skin. The truth is that we need the sun in small doses. And many of us aren’t getting enough.

According to scientific research, Americans are deficient in vitamin D—the vitamin the skin makes when exposed to the sun. One study showed that the overall prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in the U.S. was nearly 42 percent. Researchers saw the highest rates in African Americans (82.1 percent) followed by Hispanics. (69.2 percent).

Meanwhile, mounting evidence suggests that vitamin D deficiency could be linked to several chronic diseases. These include cardiovascular disease and cancer, as well as thin, brittle bones.

You can get some vitamin D from food, but not enough to meet the body’s needs. Supplements can help. But the sun is our best source. When ultraviolet rays hit the skin, special receptors in the skin synthesize vitamin D3. This is the most “natural” form of the vitamin. Vitamin D, in turn, then goes on to help protect the skin from cellular damage, including damage from the sun itself.

According to scientists, the major cause of vitamin D deficiency is inadequate exposure to sunlight. “Wearing a sunscreen with a sun protection factor of 30 reduces vitamin D synthesis in the skin by more than 95 percent.” People with a naturally dark skin tone have some natural sun protection and require at least three to five times longer exposure to make the same amount of vitamin D as a person with a white skin tone.

Truth: You Need Some Sun

Truth: For your overall health, it’s best to get some sun exposure several times a week to meet your vitamin D needs. If you are extremely fair, burn easily, or have a medical condition that makes it risky to spend time in the sun, talk to your doctor about vitamin D supplements.

In the summer (when you’re wearing short sleeves and shorts and more skin is exposed to the sun), 8-10 minutes of sun exposure at noon can be sufficient for those with lighter skin; those with darker skin will need more time.
In the winter (when more of the skin is covered with clothing), nearly 2 hours of sun exposure at noon may be needed.
Where you live can be a factor—those in the northern latitudes with a greater distance from the sun will need more time than those closer to the equator.

Sun Protection

Skin Sun Protection Myth #2: A High SPF Means I Can Stay Out Longer

SPF numbers are confusing to most consumers. It would seem that an SPF of 50 would offer almost twice as much protection as an SPF of 30, allowing you to enjoy more time in the sun. But that’s not how it works.

SPF refers to the protection against UVB rays and how long you can be exposed before the skin starts to burn. The amount of time it takes the skin to burn without sunscreen multiplied by the SPF equals the number of minutes you can spend in the sun without burning if the sunscreen is properly applied.

Truth: An SPF of 15 blocks 93 percent of UVB rays. An SPF of 30 blocks 97 percent and an SPF of 50 about 98 percent. Regardless of the number, it’s necessary to reapply sunscreen every 90 minutes at least. Reapply more often if you’re exposed to water or you’re sweating.

The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) recommends an SPF of at least 30, noting that anything higher is typically unnecessary. The organization suggests getting a broad-spectrum sunscreen that offers protection against UVA and UVB rays in a water-resistant formula. They add that high-number SPFs last the same amount of time as low-number SPFs:

“A high-number SPF does not allow you to spend additional time outdoors without reapplication.”

Skin Sun Protection Myth #3: Sunscreen Is the Only Option

With all the marketing for sunscreen, many of us believe that is the only option when it comes to protecting our skin from sun damage. But that’s not true.

Truth: Sunscreen can’t completely protect against UV rays, even if you apply it perfectly and reapply when necessary. Even the highest SPF can block only about 99 percent of UV rays. It starts to wear down the minute after you put it on.

The best way to protect your skin from sun damage is to use multiple approaches. Start with physical protection. Options include protective clothing, trees (for shade), hats, umbrellas, sunglasses, and sun shelters. Clothing with UPF designation will offer even more protection. (The number indicates the fraction of the sun’s UV rays that can penetrate the fabric.)

Avoiding time outside when the sun is brightest (10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.) is also a good option. Then add your favorite sunscreen product and reapply as needed.

Skin Sun Protection Myth #4: All Sunscreen Is Safe

For many years we didn’t think much about what ingredients were in our sunscreen.

That all changed when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released the results of studies showing that so-called chemical sunscreens were absorbed into the skin more than previously believed. These include avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene, and ecamsule.

In a 2019 study, the FDA found that in the four sunscreens tested, the active ingredients were absorbed at higher levels than those deemed safe by the FDA. In a 2020 study of six ingredients from another four commercially available sunscreen products, they found the same results. Oxybenzone was absorbed far more readily than any of the other ingredients.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that 97 percent of Americans have oxybenzone circulating in their bodies. Other studies have indicated that chemical sunscreens—those that work like a sponge to absorb the sun’s rays—may have the ability to alter hormone function in the human body.

Physical sunscreens, on the other hand, like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, work like a shield. They sit on the surface of the skin and deflect the sun’s rays. They are less likely to be absorbed into the skin.

Truth: We need more research to determine whether chemical sunscreen ingredients may harm the skin or body. Meanwhile, it’s best to play it safe and choose those formulas with physical sunscreens like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.

We recommend you refer to the Environmental Working Group’s (EWG’s) guide to sunscreens for more help in choosing the best one for you and your family.
