There are many different types of great resurfacing modalities and brands, and the treatment goes by many names. Fraxel, Fractionated (DOT) CO2, erbium (microlaser peel or arctic peel, for example), and Halo (ablative and non-ablative fractional mix), are just a few of the great technologies available to resurface and ‘anti-age’.

Read MoreThe Rumor Mill: Fun New SkinMedica Products!
Exciting things are on the horizon for all of us Skinmedica TNS and HA5 maniacs out there!
Hot off the press, here's what I heard recently from our fabulous SkinMedica informant:
TNS packaging
- Have you ever wondered how much product is still in your Essential Serum bottle? You're not alone. The next generation of packaging will be including a window so you can check your levels and never be caught without your fave product. Yahoo!
- Also rumored is both a bigger (woah 👀❤👀) AND a smaller, travel-sized version. Which is great, because I'd rather cancel the trip than have a TSA agent threaten to throw my Essential Serum away. Seriously.
TNS targeted for the NECK!
- As I am newly obsessed with all-things-neck, I was THRILLED to hear about an upcoming TNS product specifically targeted for the neck. CANNOT. WAIT.
HA5: Packing hydration into your pout
- We already LOVE HA5 for its instant smoothing and long lasting hydration for the face... and word has it, there's going to be an HA5 lip product launching soon! I AM so all over this. All. Over. It. I can tell you I will have multiples of these for my vanity, make up bag, and gym bag. 5 forms of hyaluronic acid (the same stuff fillers *and dreams* are made of) to pull moisture into the lips?! We love you, you SkinMedica R&D geniuses, you! 💗💗💗Woo hoo!
I'll be sure to post when I have these new babies in-hand! And until next time, stay fabulous, my friends!
3 Fast Facts: Skinmedica TNS Essential Serum
I started 3 fast facts because I could go on forever about some of these products... which can make writing about them a little daunting. Instead of overthinking (and therefore procrastinating), I'll just use this category to finally touch on some of my favorite products & three reasons you might love them too!
Three Fast Facts About: SkinMedica TNS Essential Serum
➢ Fact 1
All-in-one-awesome:
TNS Essential serum is product is used to correct, protect from future damage, promote cell renewal, smooth, lighten and increase collagen.
I personally call this fantastic product 'The Mercedes of anti-aging products'. Not only is there Vitamin C in here, but lots of other potent goodies, too. Users will benefit from ultra-high concentrations of growth factors, 7 antioxidants, peptides, and super-potent alpha-arbutin for lightening and brightening.
➢ Fact 2
Antioxidants both ways:
The antioxidants found in Essential Serum include ergothionine, green tea extract, blackberry leaf extract, saccharomyces ferment filtrate, coenzyme Q-10, tocopheryl acetate (E) and tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (lipid-soluble C), which are all free-radical fighters.
Just like SkinMedica's C & E Complex, there's a combo of water- and lipid-soluble antioxidants here. This is good because the water-soluble antioxidants can weave down between skin cells. The lipid-soluble's are meant to actually enter the cell through its membrane. The two types of action here means that you're covering your bases and in for a better result.
➢ Fact 3
In a hurry?
Essential serum is essential for the gal (or guy) on the go. A combination of both the beloved TNS Recovery Complex and APS corrective complex in one. This super-covenient dual chamber packaging is like those toothpaste/gel combo pumps that pump out both products simultaneously. One pump and both the APS serum and the Recovery Complex are dispensed.
Oh, and for the instant-gratification lovers out there: hyalauronic acid plumping spheres are present in this all-in-one serum. Buh-bye, fine lines!
Until Next time, Stay Fabulous, My Friends!
