We’re not against a laugh line or two, and no one can change genetics (yet!). However, there are many ways to promote a healthy appearance and protect your skin from damaging factors that contribute to facial wrinkles, sagging skin and overall signs of aging.

Meet with an Esthetician: A complementary consultation with an esthetician from Oswego Spa & Laser is well worth your time.  A 30 minute consultation will give you information needed to choose the best product for your skin type. Our estheticians are understanding and sensitive to any apprehension you may feel. They will create an easy affordable program designed to get you results.

Keep it Clean: Men have larger pores and approximately 15% oiler skin than women which means male skin gets dirtier. It is very important to clean your face every day with a facial cleanser suited for your skin type.  Do not use a deodorant soap.  Cleansing twice a day is ideal, but for those in a hurry to get out the door in the morning we recommend a deep cleansing before bed.

Keep it Toned: As skin ages, it needs to work harder to maintain it’s elasticity. Toners with glycolic or alpha hydroxy acids work the best for toning the face. These acids actually reduce the pore size, and help avoid ingrown hairs. The right toner will balance the pH in your facial skin which allows moisturizer and sun screen to penetrate better.

Treat Your Skin: Considering your skin type (oily, dry or combination) with the time of year, Oswego Spa & Laser offers different treatments and product to treat and enhance your skin.  Our experienced estheticians provide instruction and are always available for questions.

Sun Protection: Protect yourself against harmful sun exposure by regularly using a long-lasting sun block of SPF 30 or higher and covering up when out in the sun for prolonged periods of time. Don’t forget your lips, find a balm that has an SPF of 15 or higher.  Remember damaging UV rays are one of the leading causes of damaged skin and fine lines and skin cancers.
