The expression “feeling good in one’s skin” is from the wisdom that you feel the most beautiful and confident when you are happy with your skin! Well chosen skin care products go a long way towards this goal! Select from the most current Medical Grade Skin Care Products in Havertown and South Philadelphia for skin care maintenance and enhancement. Who better to advise you on your skin’s needs than skin care experts?
At Mind Your Skin, we handpick the highest-grade skin care product lines and home run products for you, so you don’t have to. Medical grade means more and better active ingredients, and fewer inactive ones, including ‘filling’ agents and preservatives. The dispensing system is key for certain items such as vitamin C which is unstable and degrades when exposed to air. Furthermore, the delivery system (‘vehicle’) is the secret sauce in the world of cosmoceuticals. Often the active ingredient has to be cloaked, folded or otherwise altered and/or disguised or aided in order to get it past our skin barrier before successful deployment. This is where science really takes over and where “Medical Grade” sets itself apart from many over-the counter treatments. To begin with you should treat your skin to ongoing exfoliation and sun protection. Moisturize as needed. Additionally, none of these need be expensive! Stepping it up a notch: We have available antioxidants and various treatments directed at specific concerns. Our estheticians get you started and move you along a personalized skin-care regimen. Think of us for example as your personal skin care trainers! Below are our “go-to”, top performing skincare products. These are available for on-line purchase as well via our web store.

Their story from healing to protection
Elta arrived in the US in 1988. Backed by science they quickly became a trusted choice for products in areas of wound care and healing. In 2007 they launched their cosmetically elegant and effective line of sunblocks. Dermatologists personally use EltaMD more than any other. EltaMD products are formulated for every skin type, lifestyle and condition to protect, renew and heal skin health.
The EltaMD brand keeps innovating and we now carry:
We are always moving in order to keep up with the crowded field of products to find the ones that stand above the fray. We are phasing out SOME of our sunblocks (but just re-introduced some EltaMD) in favor of ISDIN. ISDIN (based in Spain) has some very exciting solutions for fighting off unwanted pigmentation and repair of sun-damage. These are available in our webstore.
In addition to sun-protection, ISDIN has been innovating in skin-rejuvenation and renewal, eye-care, hair-care. As is popular in Europe, they present several of their products in handy glass ampoules. This ensures a fresh product is applied each time!

Keen scientists observe that certain snails have an astounding capability to heal their integument (‘skin’). In addition we know that with age our skin loses the benefit from the repair properties of our natural growth factors. As is the case for many other important components, our skin is just not keeping up. Biopelle Tensage Advanced Cream helps supplement this decreased level as growth factors are applied to the skin. European scientists discovered and patented SCA Bio-repair Technology. Tensage® Growth Factor features SCA-6 Bio-repair Technology, a special secretion concentrated from the Cryptomphalus aspersa snail. Besides growth factors glyco-proteins and antioxidants help repair, maintain and protect skin from the visible signs of photo-damage. These snail secretions improve fine lines and hydrate, producing softer skin.
(The snails at the farm in Spain escape any harm in this process)

Alastin Skin Nectar features Skincare TriHex. This technology’s approach entails treating aging skin with selected peptides and botanicals that target the extracellular matrix. The Skin Nectar helps to enzymatically clear damaged proteins stuck in the extracellular matrix (between the cells). The product also stimulates and supports the skin’s natural ability to produce elastin and collagen. In addition, antioxidants and Arnica Montana help to calm and reduce redness. In summary, we love the Skin Nectar pre- and post our deeper laser treatments because it boosts results while reducing downtime.

The SkinMedica HA5 lip plumper is a system that features ingredients similar to hyaluronic acid. Lips incorporate it in addition to the blend of proteins that it contains thereby enhancing fullness and volume. These anti-aging ingredients protect, smooth and plump your lips. This clinically tested, two-step lip treatment decreases an aging appearance, such as the look of fine lines, improves contour, and enhances the fullness of lips. It’s generally used alone or as the complement to lip filler because it prolongs how long that will last.

Latisse® 5ml lusher lashes is the first and only FDA-approved treatment prescription for lusher eyelashes. Latisse grows eyelashes for people who have inadequate or not enough lashes. As we age, our eyelashes generally become thinner, lighter, and shorter. A once daily prescription treatment applied to base of the upper lashes will grow eyelashes longer, fuller, and darker. In 10 to 12 weeks, you will notice remarkable results! Compared to other products out there we have just NEVER seen it NOT work! Finally, Latisse® has a very long established safety record as it was used for certain eye-conditions for many years.
