It may be tempting after a late night out with your friends to jump into bed without washing the makeup off of your face. Many think it’s okay to leave cosmetics on the skin every now and then. However, for patients who routinely skip washing their face, problems can arise.

How cosmetics impact your skin

Cosmetics, such as foundation, are often left on the skin for hours a day. Makeup left on longer than 24 hours will begin to clog the pores. When pores are clogged with cosmetics, the oils that are naturally secreted from the pores to keep the skin healthy are trapped. This results in the unwanted buildup of dead skin cells that contribute to the development of acne breakouts. Additionally, makeup such as mascara can irritate the eyes and cause patients to get infections. Infections can make it unhealthy for patients to wear contact lenses and may be the beginning of other issues that often develop.

It is vital that women cleanse their skin at night to remove their makeup. At Remington Laser Dermatology Centre, we can provide recommendations for cleansers that can help remove cosmetics while keeping the skin hydrated and fresh. Women may also want to integrate makeup removing wipes or cleansers that are specifically used for cleansing cosmetics off the skin and keeping the pores open and unclogged. Our team can put together a skin care regimen that works best for you. Whether your skin is dry, oily, or combination, our dermatologists can evaluate and provide recommendations for each individual.

Who can benefit from a skin care regimen?

Everyone should keep their skin clean and healthy with a proper skin care regimen. This may include products that are available at a dermatology office or those that can be purchased over-the-counter. An evaluation and consultation with our dermatologists is the first step to learning more.

Years ago, we used to think of lasers as advanced technology or light used in science fiction movies. However, laser light is becoming more and more popular in many fields of medicine, including dermatology. At Remington Laser Dermatology Centre, we assist Calgary, AB patients with improving the appearance and health of their skin by integrating laser treatments into our practice for patient consideration. There are many different ways in which we utilize laser light in our office:

  • Laser skin resurfacing (micro peel) – with fractional and superficial lasers, our professionals can quickly and easily resurface the skin on the face to achieve smoother, more evenly toned and textured skin.
  • Laser skin rejuvenation on the neck and face – clearer, more youthful skin can be achieved with the use of lasers for laser skin rejuvenation. This treatment can help patients look and feel their best with one or more sessions.
  • Treatment of pigmentation concerns including sun spots – pigmentation issues such as sun spots, melasma, and other conditions can be addressed with laser light, which can break down the pigmentation and allow these imperfections to fade over time.
  • Laser tightening of the face, neck, and vaginal area – skin laxity is the most common cause of the development of fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck. Using laser energy, these areas can be treated to tighten and tone the area. Additionally, we offer laser tightening and vaginal rejuvenation services in our practice as well.
  • Laser tattoo removal – unwanted tattoos can be faded and removed with routine laser tattoo removal treatments. Patients can finally remove tattoos with laser energy that breaks down the pigments and allows the body to naturally flush them through the lymphatic system.
