So, imagine you're in the midst of a global pandemic and your "regularly scheduled programming" has been interrupted. Your twice-yearly BOTOX® schedule has been thrown out of whack, your monthly chemical peel appointment was cancelled, and your laser treatments have been postponed. What now?

In the best of times, we recommend a combination of regular aesthetic treatments and a personalized skincare regimen. However, while you're facing the potential of further closures of your favourite clinic, it's important to know that science-backed skincare can also yield noticeable improvements to skin health on it's own. While it doesn't take the place of hands-on, professionally administered aesthetic treatments, it can insure and ensure your outcomes. So, before you start panicking about losing access to your favourite treatments, take our advice.

Get a handle on an excellent routine.

Now is the time to get a handle on a skincare routine that will serve you well through the winter months. Start with the basics: a good cleanser, moisturizer, and SPF, and go from there; if you have a particular concern, it's likely there's a product that can help. Remember, skincare isn't all or nothing, it's about finding what works and learning to adapt to suit your needs (even if your needs are suddenly affected by a global pandemic).

Seek expert advice.

Skin experts, such as Medical Aestheticians, are carefully trained in assessing the skincare needs of common conditions like acne, rosacea, and pigmentation. Forging a trusting relationship with a Medical Aesthetician will help see your skin through the stressful days to come. Remember, Wonder Skin Therapists can be reached via private email, phone, or virtual consultation for one-on-one expert guidance.

Don't stockpile.

Unlike toilet paper, skincare has an expiry date. As time goes on, ingredients become less effective and can actually negatively affect your skin. Luckily, there's no need to stock up. Your favourite products can be shipped to your doorstep faster than you can say "is this expired?".

Shop from home.

The global pandemic called for more accessible aesthetics, and Wonder Skincare was born. We're here to ensure expert advice and leading skincare remain available to everyone who needs it, so you can shop from home and stay safe.
