BEAUT Y
THE GLOW
QUEEN Lisa Street, Nurse Practitioner and owner of Glo Medical Aesthetics in Midtown, gives us her tips on how she stays gorgeous year-round, as well as insider knowledge on how to choose the best treatments to look and feel your best. How do you stay fit? Pilates, Dance & Yoga! These 3 activities really support the mind body connection while strengthening & toning. My favorite places are Core Collective on Broad and Mind Body Haus in Midtown. I follow a mostly plant based diet as well as staying hydrated! I also take supplements to strengthen my immune system and replenish amino acids and trace minerals to support overall cell functioning.
What is retinol and do I need it? Retinol is a form of vitamin A, which increases cell turnover and stimulates collagen synthesis. Prescription strength (or medical grade) retinol is much stronger than the ones found in drugstores or the ones you buy from your neighbor. It’s a must for skin over 40 because cell turnover rate slows with age. 18
