Local beauty expert & Owner of Bella Body Medical Spa, Bonnie Benedetto, shares her favorite tips to maximize your nighttime beauty/wellness routines.
Q&A:
NL: What is your favorite advice to share when it comes to helping your clients with a nighttime beauty regimen?
BB: Consistency! We offer many treatment options to address many skin concerns but 95% of your skin care happens at home. Consistently washing your face morning and night and applying the appropriate skin care products daily is everything
NL: Any suggested regimen for women in their 30's, 40's and 50's?
BB: No matter your age, everyone can benefit from a few key products. Morning: Cleanse, Tone, Vitamin C serum, sunblock. Evening: Cleanse, Tone, Exfoliate, Retinol and for pigmentation concerns, add a Skin Brightening product.
NL: For the budget conscious, where can we save?
BB: Use Sunscreen always! Applying sunscreen daily is the best way to protect your skin from aging.
NL: Where to splurge?
BB: Retinol to help correct damage and a Growth Factor to help “wake up” your body’s ability to produce collagen.
NL: You are seriously ageless. What is the one item you cannot live without?
BB: I am a skin care product junky. I never go to bed without washing my face. I love Sente Gold pressed serum (a growth factor product) and I truly can see a change in my skin.
NL: What is your nighttime ‘wind-down’ wellness routine?
BB: Clean face, yoga pants, dim lights, a glass of red wine (or two!) and a wood burning fire.
