👋 HELLO Summer!  We are BIG fans of the summer months at Pure Glow! From the warm weather to the lake days, backyard BBQs, and vacays… What is not to love? But if we had to choose one thing we love most about these warmer weather months, it’s hands down the summer GLOW!  For those who are blessed, this glow may come naturally - BUT for the mass majority of us, we have to put in some extra work to achieve our summer skin. In this blog we are spilling all the tea on our top 4 steps to achieving your best glow this summer - Let’s get GLOWING! STEP 1: TREAT YOUR SKIN PSA - Summer is the time to take off from your job, NOT from your monthly skincare treatments with your Aesthi bestie! 😉With kids out from school and vacations away, we know it can be hectic to schedule your treatment but trust us, your fall self will thank you when you save your time and money to prevent the damage rather than undo it! The sun is extra harsh on your skin during these months, you need medical-grade treatments outside of your daily skincare routine to keep your skin nourished, hydrated, and of course, GLOWING! Here are our top treatments to book right now: Buccal sculpting Facelift Let us introduce you to the holistic version of a facelift! This one-of-a-kind treatment is essentially a workout for all 43 muscles of the face with highly trained techniques derived from all over the world. This treatment will increase circulation, lift, enhance, tone, and contour the muscles of the face and bring the overall structure of the face back to its youthful place. BOOK NOW Facial Infusion with Nano Pen Imagine a treatment that can turn back the clock on your skin and continues to nourish your skin up to 30 days AFTER your treatment. If you haven’t had our Facial Infusion with Nano Pen yet, you are missing out! It is the perfect treatment for summer because it is the first non-acid peel in the skincare industry that creates a substantial increase in collagen production. This treatment is tailored to address your specific skin concerns such as acne and/or aging and will give you the exact glow your skin has been begging for this summer! BOOK NOW The Fitness Facial If your first excuse as to why you are skipping treatments this summer is because of TIME, we have the perfect treatment for you! Our Fitness Facial is a unique 40-minute facial workout for our on-the-go clients. The treatment combines our exclusive facial fitness massage techniques with innovative tools, advanced technology, and medical-grade products to stimulate blood circulation and collagen, boost the lymphatic system, and increase cell renewal. If you are results-driven - the Fitness Facial gives your immediate results of lifted, toned, and glowing skin that you can see right after your treatment! Oh and can’t forget, the best part about this facial workout is that WE do all the work for you! BOOK NOW STEP 2: SPF ALL DAY EVERY DAY It’s shocking that we even have to say this but SPF should be worn every. single. day. You would not believe how many people we see go all summer only applying SPF when they have a swimsuit on… NEVER leave your house without sunscreen on no matter what you are doing AND no matter what time of the year it is! Seriously, friends, there is no excuse to not have SPF in your daily makeup routine, and NO - foundation with SPF does not count! Some of our top SPF products that we could not live without: sunbetter TONE SMART SPF 75 sunbetter TONE SMART SPF 68 Compact   iS Clinical Eclipse SPF 50 iS Clinical Perfectint Powder SPF 40    STEP 3: Exfoliate, Exfoliate, Exfoliate One of the main skin concerns we run into during these warm months is oily skin. When we are active outside, naturally we expose our skin to other elements and debris which can react with excess oil to clog our pores. This is where our bestie - exfoliation - comes in to save the day! Utilizing gentle masks, scrubs, and antioxidant-rich products during this time of the year is vital to unclogging your pores from debris. You already know we are going to share our favorites: Skinbetter Detoxifying Scrub Mask iS Clinical Warming Honey Cleanser iS Clinical Cleansing Complex Polish Eminence Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant STEP 4: Bring On The Moisturizer FYI - you should be moisturizing every day, all year round. But when it comes to the summer months, moisturizing is KEY to achieving that glow and keeping your skin hydrated! Just as we like to switch to a lighter wardrobe for the warmer months, it’s important to switch to a lighter moisturizer as well. Since we are prone to produce excess oil during the summer, to prevent clogged pores, lighter skincare products are optimal!

At Pure Glow Skin Refinery, we know a thing or two about Facial Fitness! 😉 In fact, it’s one of our specialties and has been a HIT with our clients because of the amazing benefits and immediate results of toned, tightened, and lifted skin they see with our facial fitness treatments and techniques.  In a world filled with stress and fast-paced lifestyles, taking the time to indulge in both a professional facial fitness treatment and at-home routine, can offer numerous benefits for your skin, relaxation, and overall well-being. The benefits are simply unmatched… So enough talking about how great it is for you and let’s dive into the benefits of prioritizing facial fitness in your skincare regimen. 👇 Appearance Of The Skin We know what you are thinking – DUH. Obviously, one of the main benefits of facial fitness is the overall improvement of the appearance of your skin. With solid at-home facial workouts along with monthly facial fitness treatments, you will see improvements in fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and overall texture. If you think about it, it’s pretty simple math - working out in a gym is a way to naturally change the appearance of your body… so working out your face with facial fitness techniques is going to change the appearance of your face. With 43 muscles in the face, it is imperative that you use facial fitness techniques on a regular basis both at home and with a professional so that your face can stay in shape! Lymphatic Drainage A great benefit of facial fitness is that it promotes lymphatic drainage. Not only can lymphatic drainage reduce inflammation in your skin, but it can also help with reducing swelling, redness, irritation, and improvement in the skin’s appearance. Our lymphatic channels in our face can pool lymph fluid overnight when we are sleeping - A great facial fitness routine in the AM is beneficial to increase your facial movement and decrease lymph fluid buildup. TMJ Symptom Relief A big draw factor of our facial fitness treatments is our clients with TMJ or also known as the temporomandibular joint. At Pure Glow, we were the very FIRST in Tennessee to be trained and certified for the Buccal technique – where we go inside the mouth to help lift the skeletal structure. This technique, along with SEVERAL others we have learned and adjusted from all over the world has been beneficial for symptom relief with our TMJ clients. Overall, it helps alleviate tight, inflamed jaw muscles. Scar Tissue Healing Facial fitness can be the fix to a LOT of your skincare concerns, including scar tissue! If you have a facial scar that is in the healing process, a facial fitness routine can greatly benefit the area. Improvements in blood flow, loosening in nearby tissue, and flattening skin texture are all benefits that can stem from prioritizing facial fitness during the healing period of your scar tissue. The Bottom Line Prioritizing facial fitness in your skincare regimen is not just a luxury, but an investment in your skin’s health, relaxation, and overall well-being. When we use facial fitness techniques to stimulate blood circulation, boost collagen production, and relieve muscle tension – We can transform the skin to be toned, lifted, and tightened and most importantly leave you feeling rejuvenated!  Get on our books for one of our fan-favorite facial fitness treatments TODAY: Buccal Sculpting Facelift A Pure Glow Original: Unlike any other treatment, the Buccal Sculpting Facelift is a high-intensity workout for all 43 muscles in the face giving you immediate results! This signature treatment combines facial massage techniques from Japan, Hungary, Russia, Dubai, and Paris while incorporating universal methods like acupressure, tapotement, and lymphatic massage to create a more complete facelifting effect. This treatment will increase circulation, lift, enhance, tone, and contour the muscles of the face and bring the overall structure of the face back to its youthful place. BOOK NOW The Fitness Facial This is a unique facial workout that combines our signature facial fitness massage technique with facial cupping, microcurrent, and innovative facial tools that all work to stimulate collagen and blood circulation, boost the lymphatic system, and increase cell renewal to lift, tone, and tighten the muscles in the face.

We are creeping into the most wonderful time of the year… AKA chemical peels and laser season! To be honest, there is NEVER a bad time to treat your skin with a professional skin treatment, but there are prime times to receive treatments that will only up your treatment benefits.  For laser and chemical peels, we always advise our clients to wait until the cooler months of the year to book for the most optimal results. Why? Friends, you already know we are going to tell you – Let’s get into the benefits of booking during the Fall! No Sun = Best Results One of the biggest reasons we advise our clients to wait until after the summer months for peel and laser treatments is that exposure to sun and heat can increase the likelihood of side effects and/or complications to the results. When you have a laser or chemical peel treatment, it is highly encouraged to stay out of the sun before and after your appointments for the best results.  While no one wants to be pale and pasty, those long days spent tanning out in the sun causes major damage to the outer layer of your skin. For the best results with these treatments, you want your face to be its natural, non-tanned color so you can avoid complications, such as hyperpigmentation. Once we have said goodbye to our sunny days of the year, this is the time to get on our books for our amazing chemical peels and laser treatments! Say BYE to Dry Raise your hand if you are a victim of dry, dull winter skin… We are guessing most if not all of you have your hands raised. It’s super common to have dry skin during the Fall and Winter months of the year because when we expose ourselves to the sun all summer long, the build-up of dead skin cells, dirt, and debris occurs. This dead layer causes the appearance of dull and dry skin. Our chemical peels and laser resurfacing treatments cause our faces to shed a layer of skin to remove that build-up and reveal a fresher and better-moisturized layer. Rejuvenation Time Summer is the time to show off those skin treatments you have been keeping up with year-round, while the cooler months are meant for repairing and rejuvenating with the said treatments! Just as we aim to prep our bodies for the summer bikini season with diet and exercise,  the same can go for achieving that summer skin glow. NEWSFLASH - you will not get radiant, smooth-looking skin just by chance when summer arrives. That glow comes from commitment and consistency to your skincare routine and keeping up with your professional treatments during the cooler months.  Depending on what procedure you are looking into, most professional laser and chemical peels take more than one treatment to see your optimal results. It’s best to plan ahead and get on our books NOW to make sure your skin is in tip-top shape for the next summer season! Our Top Treatments To Book: Now that you know the best time to book chemical and laser treatments, you have to decide which of these procedures is best for you. This is all dependent on what your skin concerns are. Let’s dive into our best treatments to book RIGHT NOW! The Afterglow This is our latest and greatest treatment that gives you both laser and peel benefits. We combine a three-step approach to enhance your skin with a dermaplane, a Triple-Acid Peel, and Laser Genesis. These steps work to exfoliate, treat, and regenerate your skin. After just one treatment, you can expect overall healthier-looking skin and a supple glow! BOOK NOW Laser genesis This non-invasive, zero-downtime laser treatment works by heating up the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen growth. This treatment evens skin tone and texture, reduces redness, and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. This is the perfect treatment to target rosacea and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Laser Genesis provides glow and overall healthier-looking skin after just one treatment. BOOK NOW Laser Hair Removal Laser Hair Removal diminishes unwanted hair by targeting hair follicles with intense pulsed light energy. Our laser technology detects pigment in hair follicles and directs the light energy to attack and break down the hair follicle. Over a series of treatments, hair follicles will trough off more and more. Laser Hair Removal offers the safest and most gentle form of hair removal with the longest-lasting results, allowing you to no longer worry about time-consuming shaving, razor bumps, or skin irritation. Rejoice in the return of your time and energy and fall in love with your long-lasting smooth skin.  Laser hair removal is most effective for people with thick, dark hair and light skin. The contrast between skin color and hair color makes it easier for the hair to absorb heat. It might not work as well for people with dark skin or hair that's blonde, gray, white, or red. However, earlier lasers could not be used on dark skin because the melanin (color) in the skin would absorb the heat causing the skin to burn, but the advanced Nd: YAG laser (which we have at Pure Glow) bypasses the pigment in the skin and goes deeper to target the hair follicle. So, while it may be more effective for a contrast of skin and hair color, it is not impossible for hair to be reduced on darker skin types. We recommend scheduling a consultation so we can evaluate your skin prior to booking. BOOK NOW prodigy peel pro The Prodigy Peel Pro system is a medical-grade peel with a powerful booster to provide an enhanced medium to deep-depth chemical peel, resulting in a brighter and more youthful complexion. This treatment works to powerfully target skin laxity, acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, and uneven skin texture - visibly improving skin imperfections and resulting in a renewed complexion. This peel could result in 3-5 days of redness and peeling skin. BOOK NOW Get On Our Books Today The summer has been fun, but let’s be real we know you missed your girls at Pure Glow!

As the seasons change and cooler temperatures approach, it's the perfect time to reevaluate and adjust your skincare routine. Retinol, often hailed as the "gold standard" in anti-aging skincare, is a powerhouse ingredient that can help improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and promote a more youthful complexion.  Fall is an ideal season to incorporate retinol into your regimen, as the reduced sun exposure and increased focus on repair and renewal make it easier for your skin to adapt to this powerful ingredient. In this blog post, we are giving you ALL the tea on retinol and our FAVORITE retinol products you should be using in your skincare routine this Fall! What Is Retinol? First things first, what the heck even is retinol? Well let us tell you - Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A that encourages skin cell turnover, boosts collagen production, and helps unclog pores.  Retinol can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so that is why it is advised to introduce this ingredient back into your fall skincare when the temperatures are more forgiving! With less intense sun exposure, the risk of retinol-induced photosensitivity is reduced. This allows your skin to experience the benefits of retinol without the heightened risk of sun damage that can occur during the summer months. Sun Damage + Retinol = Besties  Guilty of summer sun damage? It’s okay, we have all been there… But now it’s time to correct it! During the summer, your skin is exposed to higher levels of UV radiation, which can lead to sunspots, uneven texture, and fine lines.  Retinol's ability to stimulate cell turnover can help fade these imperfections, revealing smoother and more even-toned skin. Remember, summer is the time to show off that beautiful glow you have been working on but when cooler weather rolls around, this is the time to repair and rejuvenate to achieve and sustain that GLOW! Best Practices For Retinol SPF is a MUST: Although fall brings less intense sun exposure, it is super important to not neglect sunscreen. Retinol can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so wearing sunscreen during the day is non-negotiable. Applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every morning helps protect your skin and maintains the progress achieved with retinol.   Slow & Steady: When introducing retinol to your fall routine, start slowly to allow your skin to adjust. Begin with a lower concentration and use it every few nights. This approach helps minimize potential irritation or redness that might occur as your skin adapts to the ingredient.   Hydration Station: As the weather becomes cooler, your skin may experience increased dryness. Retinol can potentially exacerbate this issue, so make sure to layer on hydrating products like a rich moisturizer or a hyaluronic acid serum. Hydrated skin is better equipped to tolerate retinol.   PM Routine: Retinol is best applied in the evening after cleansing. This timing allows the ingredient to work its magic overnight, promoting skin renewal while you sleep. Remember to cleanse your face thoroughly to ensure that no traces of makeup or sunscreen interfere with retinol absorption.   Listen to Your Aesti: Retinol is a powerful ingredient that is available in various strengths so it is crucial to choose a product that suits your skin type and concerts. If you're unsure about which retinol product to use or how to incorporate it into your routine, it’s time to take a visit to your gals at Pure Glow. We will tailor a skincare regimen that fits best for your skin type and guide you on which products we recommend!

It’s that time of year! Spring is here and that means that Summer is around the corner — And let’s be honest; we’re all ready for it! As ready as we are, we need to prepare our skin for the heat of the summer. Let’s dive into it… As the warmer months approach, it's essential to adjust your skincare routine to ensure your skin remains healthy and glowing. Here are some tips to prepare your skin for the summer season: Stay Hydrated: With rising temperatures, it's crucial to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to maintain your skin's moisture levels. Sun Protection: Invest in a good quality sunscreen with an adequate SPF to shield your skin from harmful UV rays. Remember to reapply every few hours, especially if you're spending time outdoors. Exfoliation: Regular exfoliation helps to slough off dead skin cells, keeping your skin smooth and preventing clogged pores. However, be mindful not to over-exfoliate, as it can lead to irritation. Think 2-3 times a week max. Lightweight Moisturizer: Opt for a lightweight, hydrating moisturizer suitable for the summer season. Look for products that are non-comedogenic to prevent breakouts in the heat. Healthy Diet: Incorporate foods rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals into your diet to promote healthy skin from within. Fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids are excellent choices. Cooling Gel Masks: Treat your skin to cooling gel masks to soothe any sunburn or irritation. These can help reduce redness and calm the skin after prolonged sun exposure. By following these simple tips, you can ensure your skin is ready to face the summer months ahead. Remember, consistency is key when it comes to skincare, so establish a routine that works best for you. Enjoy the sun responsibly and embrace healthy, glowing skin all summer long!
