Healthy Skin All Over: The Importance of Body Care

We get it: Your face comes first. You see it in the mirror and you can’t help but book treatments and buy products to address what you see.

But the other 90% of your skin needs care and maintenance, too—especially in Florida, in the summer, in this weather, and on the beach.

Our skin is our body’s first line of defense and just about the only part of us that’s visible to the rest of the world. We ask a lot of our body’s skin, and it tends to show the evidence of what we put it through. So let’s treat it right for a change.

Go to the Med Spa for Body Skincare

Almost all of the skincare treatments you think of for your face are also available for your body, and right here in Bradenton: VIPeels and chemical peels, exfoliation and scrubs, HIFU fat-reduction and Denza skin-tightening, Alma ClearLift, IPL, and laser treatments for collagen production, resurfacing, hyperpigmentation, scar reduction, and much more.

Yes, that’s a lot of options, and your body has a lot of skin. You might not be sure where to start, and that’s totally to be expected! Your best option is to have a consultation with a professional skincare expert who can examine your body’s skin and also listen to your concerns.

With all of the state-of-the-art procedures practiced every day by the professional aestheticians at Bellagena, we can recommend the industry’s latest treatments that work specifically for you and your body’s skin.

Use Body Skincare Products at Home, Too

Of course, you also have to take care of skin during all the time that you’re not at the spa. Fortunately, Bellagena has got you covered there, too. Our selection of small-batch, professional-grade skincare products includes a range of options specifically formulated for the body.

If you’re just starting your body skincare home routine, or you just need to restock, here’s what our experts recommend:

  • Shea butter: It’s as soothing as it sounds. Shea butter is composed mostly of fatty acids and other fantastic vitamins that your skin soaks up without clogging pores or triggering excess oil production. This can help restore healthy, youthful moisture in your forearms, elbows, knees and legs. Get it at Bellagena with Sanitas Body Butter.
  • Vitamin C: It boosts skin function, especially when it comes to collagen production and moisture retention—absolute musts after sun exposure, especially on your shoulders, chest and thighs. Our in-store retail selection features Sanitas Vitamin C Body Lotion & Serum.
  • Glycolic Acid: It removes damaged skin cells through healthy exfoliation. And it comes from sugarcane! It’s a great solution for rough spots like your hands, elbows, and knees. We recommend Sanitas Active Body Wash.
  • Benzoyl Peroxide: It reduces the bacteria that cause acne—not just on your face, but on your chest, shoulders, and back, too. Try it today with Face Reality Acne Face & Body Wash.

Ask the Bradenton Skincare Experts

If you thought “combination skin” on your face was confusing, your body won’t make it any simpler.

Your body’s skin, its needs and appearance, can vary from place to place, depending on what it gets used for, how much it gets washed, sun exposure, etc. To sort through which products would be best for where, and how to incorporate them into a single whole-body regiment, just ask your friendly local aesthetician. Look to Bellagena today and every day for all for your Bradenton med spa skincare needs—and don’t forget about all that skin from the neck down!
