Carolina Facial Plastics Skincare Routines Part 1

North Carolina Anti-Aging Nourishing Skin TreatmentWorking for Charlotte’s #1 expert facial plastic surgeon Jonathan Kulbersh, MD, definitely brings a few perks. One of them is having access to top-of-the-line, medical-grade skincare, including their own custom-designed medical skin care line, CFP skin care. The other is working with skin experts such as board-certified Nurse Practitioner Courtney Whitley, FNP-C, and aesthetician Terri Edson.

In this blog, Courtney and Terri share their insights about the importance of nourishing your skin with the right skincare products and developing a routine that ensures you maintain a youthful, healthy glow for life.

MORNING ROUTINES

STEP 1: Cleanse and stimulate

Courtney: I start each day by cleansing my skin with a Clarisonic® https://www.clarisonic.com  brush. The brush has made a big difference in my skin over the years.

The Clarisonic:

  • Whisks off dead skin and debris
  • Cleanses skin of oils
  • Enhances skin’s ability to absorb serums

Terri: I use the Clarisonic Mia Smart https://www.clarisonic.com/face-brushes/mia-smart-connected-beauty-device.  In addition to a cleansing head, the Mia Smart features another attachment that:

  • Massages face, neck, and decollètage
  • Tightens pores
  • Firm up skin

The Mia Smart is a great way to keep your skin stimulated and rejuvenated in between laser treatments or after you’ve healed from facial plastic surgery. I also use the Mia Smart with Skinbetter Lines (Lines is a no-needle, hyaluronic acid solution that improves the appearance of lines and wrinkles)

STEP 2: Nourish and moisturize

Courtney: After cleansing, I use Skin Quench — a proprietary formula we developed here at Carolina Facial Plastics. It’s drenched with hyaluronic acid (HA).  

Next, I use the InterFuse Intensive Treatment Lines on areas that are prone to wrinkling, including around my eyes and on my neck.

I end this phase with a Carolina Facial Plastics product called Necks Best Thing. In addition to supporting your skin with nourishment, it really smooths out the look of your neck lines.

Terri:  I apply a small amount of Skinbetter https://skinbetter.com/products/ Eye Treatment Cream to my under eye area. I’ve been using SkinBetter products for about a year and a half now and I love them. They’re only available through physicians and can be purchased at our office.

The Skinbetter Eye Treatment Cream is formulated with:

  • Peptides to relax crow’s feet
  • Vitamin C to brighten skin
  • Caffeine blend to relieve under-eye puffiness

STEP 3: Defend and Protect

Courtney and Terri: We both use Skinbetter Alto Defense Serum™ on our face and neck, followed by GlowBiotics https://www.glowbiotics.com/ Probiotic HydraGlow Oil, and then finally Elta ® UV Daily Tinted 40. 44.https://eltamd.com/product/eltamd-uv-elementsbroad-spectrum-spf-44/

Alto Defense serum:

  • Delivers 19 different antioxidants to skin
  • Shields against environmental free radicals
  • Reduces redness
  • Gives overall healthy glow
  • Strengthens skin

Hydra Glow:

  • Adds moisture back to skin
  • Infuses skin with probiotics and antioxidants
  • Makes your skin radiant and glowing
  • Is cruelty-free
  • 100% free from parabens, phthalates, sulfates, and other carcinogens.
  • Has natural-looking tint

UV Elements provides:

  • Physical sunscreen
  • Moisturizers
  • Natural tint

We wear sunscreen (Elta Daily Tinted 44) every day, no matter how sunny or gray.

Courtney: In between the HydraGlow and UV Elements, I add Even Tone Correcting Serum™ Face to reduce the appearance of brown spots and other kinds of hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage.

EVENING ROUTINES

Courtney: After removing my makeup and washing my face, I repeat the first few steps of my morning routine:

  • Interfuse Face and Neck Cream
  • Alto Defense Serum
  • Even Tone Correcting Serum

At night, I get to use my all-time favorite product: SkinBetter’s AlphaRet® Overnight Cream. This unique combination of an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) and a retinoid provides visible skin rejuvenation with little to no irritation.

AlphaRet:

  • Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improves skin texture
  • Tightens skin
  • Doesn’t irritate or redden skin

Terri: I actually just repeat my morning routine at night, except I don’t use the GlowBiotics or the sunscreen.
