346: The Truth About Beauty Sleep And How Your Sleeping Positions Can Affect Your Skin
Happy Friday Beauty Byters!
In this week’s Five Minute Friday, I am talking about the importance of restful, restorative sleep. Skin and collagen rebuild during the night, so it is crucial to apply your nighttime products in the correct order and seclude them in a dense moisturizer. Turning off electronics an hour or two before sleeping, closing drapes, and using a satin pillow case are all ways to ensure a great night's rest. Want to find out how to prevent damage to the skin while you sleep, then tune in to today's podcast! If you have a question or something you’d like covered on the podcast, send me a DM or email info@beautybydrkay.com and I’d be happy to respond!

345: Everything You Need to Know About Red Light Therapy, featuring Joovv
Hi beauties! This week on Beauty Bytes with Dr. Kay, Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon, I am joined by the Marketing Director of Joovv, Wes Pfiffner. Together, we discuss the benefits of red light therapy and why everyone should start incorporating it into their life-long anti-aging routine. If the San Francisco 49ers have added red light therapy into their day-to-day lives, then so should you! Joovv is a company that develops light therapy products for performance, recovery, and overall health and wellness. Its mission is to provide users with the ability to choose between the recovery benefits of red light, near infrared light, or both, to naturally heal and regenerate processes of the body. This is the newest way to anti-age. Safe, effective concentrated wavelengths penetrate the skin cells to trigger collagen and elastin production while reducing inflammation and redness, and can also be used to stimulate hair growth. So this begs the question, is this the new fountain of youth? All jokes aside, the science behind this is extremely promising. Are you ready to try red light therapy?

337: The Top 5 Reason's to Exfoliate Your Skin This Summer
Happy Friday Beauty Byters!
In this week’s Five Minute Friday, I am talking about the importance of exfoliating your skin. Exfoliating your skin has so many benefits both internally and externally. Everything from the absorption of your skincare, to the circulation of your skin, exfoliation is the key to success! Skin always looks healthiest when there is an alignment of the cells, and they have a smooth even surface. Being cautious of harsh exfoliants is just as important! These products with large, dull granules can leave microtears in the skin and lead to further damage. Boost your body's natural abilities, boost your body's natural beauty, exfoliate!
