Bougainvillea Clinique Blog | Dr. Hartog

There are many components that define us as individuals. Fortunately, we have the option to change, reform and grow throughout our lives, sometimes completely redefining ourselves. However, we often forget that it is never too late for change, no matter your age. This is why I am so grateful to work in the field of skin care; because whether or not we are aware, most of us allow our appearance to define a part of who we are and impact our happiness. At The Bougainvillea Clinique we offer quality skin care paired with sincere interest in your well-being. This combination yields positive change for our patients, tailored to their needs and desires. Whether your concerns stem from acne, the damaging effects of the sun or overall aging, we have the knowledge and the tools to help you feel better about who you are. And that is beautiful.

At The Bougainvillea Clinique, we know you can still have a great tan without exposing your skin to the sun's damaging rays or even worse, tanning beds. Body bronzing (air brush tanning) is a safe way to get a deep, bronze tan that is applied by our tanning expert. We have several shades to choose from and the tan can be applied using a clear formula - which can be applied on your lunch break and darkens in about 6-8 hours, or a bronze formula - which will give an instant tan. These colors have been tested on many skin types and will not leave you orange, yellow or streaky. You will have a gorgeous tan that will last up to a week, and more important, a safe tan.

As you may know, the first thing that causes our skin to age prematurely is the SUN! Living in Florida, we have hot weather and bright sunshine most of the year, so we are constantly exposed to "incidental sun". Incidental sun is when we walk to our car, drive in our car, check the mail, chat with a neighbor, walk the dog, etc. Believe it or not, these activities done every day can cause sun damage! You don't have to expose your skin to the sun at the beach or the pool to cause damage to your skin. Obviously, the most important preventive measure is to wear sunscreen - everyday! The next step in prevention is to use a topical Vitamin C - of course, our skin care experts can meet with you to discuss a regimen to keep your skin protected and damage free!
