We are sending TLC skin care packages to health care workers at the front lines of the healthcare crisis. We received the support of Pierre Fabre Avène\Glytone in the form of a generous donation of products. Avène has nearly three centuries of expertise in caring for sensitive skin. Back in 1871 Avène sent their healing and soothing thermal spring water from the source in the Cévennes mountains to the aid of the victims of the ‘Great Chicago fire’. Please help us help our hardworking heroes by forwarding their information to mindyourskin@comcast.net.
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. Often the active ingredient has to be cloaked, folded or otherwise altered or disguised or aided in order to get 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!

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.

Processed skin proteins (PSP), coupled with human growth factors, and hyaluronic acid power Lumière restorative eye cream (Riche). Lumière Riche is the “best eye cream” according to InStyle magazine five years in a row now! So, it is just the trick for reducing eye crepeyness and dark circles. The PSP, developed by leading Swiss researchers, is a patented cosmetic ingredient discovered through years of clinical work. It stimulates collagen and improves those fine lines and wrinkles. Added caffeine tightens and restricts unnecessary blood vessels and consequently reduces puffiness.
Lumiere is great for peri-menopausal skin. However, some younger people also like the super-hydrating benefits. It works well underneath concealer.
Because of this, Lumière restorative eye cream (Riche) makes the top “go-to” products list at MindYourSkin
