Skincare
Salt Lake City, UT
The skincare aisle can make a simple routine feel complicated. One serum promises brightness. Another targets texture. Several contain ingredients that may not belong together.
At Nuance Aesthetics + Wellness, professional skincare begins with a clearer question: what does your skin need? Our Salt Lake City team builds a focused routine around your skin type, concerns, lifestyle, and aesthetic treatments.
Professional skincare is a thoughtfully selected home-care routine built around evidence-informed ingredients, appropriate concentrations, and guidance from a trained provider.
It does not require ten steps or the strongest formula available. A sound routine begins with gentle cleansing, appropriate moisture, daily sun protection, and targeted products with a defined purpose.
Nuance carries skincare, sun-protection, makeup, lash, and hair-wellness brands, allowing a routine to draw from several lines or stay intentionally simple.
A personalized skincare regimen may help improve the appearance or management of:
Products cannot replace evaluation of a changing mole, persistent rash, infection, severe acne, sudden hair loss, eye symptoms, or another medical concern. Nuance may refer you to the appropriate clinician.
Your provider considers your observations and how the skin behaves over time. Seasonal changes, sensitivity, allergies, pregnancy, prescriptions, and previous reactions can alter the plan.
Bring a list or photos of current products to identify duplicate ingredients, conflicting actives, missing essentials, and formulas worth keeping.
Most routines need cleanser, moisturizer, and broad-spectrum sunscreen. Your provider may then add an antioxidant, retinoid, pigment formula, exfoliant, growth-factor product, or another targeted treatment gradually.
Adjust the routine when your skin, goals, medications, or treatments change. More tingling, peeling, or redness does not mean better results. Persistent irritation deserves guidance.
Colorescience focuses on mineral sun protection, skincare, and complexion products. Tinted, untinted, and brush-on options can support daily protection, visible redness, pigmentation, or makeup-compatible SPF.
EltaMD is known for daily sun protection, with tinted and untinted formulas for different preferences. Nuance can compare texture, filters, hydration, tint, and finish by exact product.
Jane Iredale pairs skincare with mineral-based makeup. Its complexion and color products offer natural-looking coverage for patients seeking skin-conscious makeup or returning to cosmetics after treatment.
SkinMedica offers cleansers, moisturizers, sunscreens, retinols, brighteners, and targeted treatments. It is also known for TNS® growth-factor technology. Provider guidance helps coordinate active formulas with procedures.
ZO Skin Health includes cleansers, exfoliators, toners, retinols, hydrators, sunscreens, and targeted formulas. Professional selection and paced introduction matter when a regimen contains potent actives.
Plated Skin Science offers face, eye, and hair products positioned around extracellular-vesicle technology. They may suit dryness, uneven-looking tone or texture, and visible aging. Cosmetic products do not replace medical care.
Latisse is an FDA-approved prescription treatment for inadequate eyelashes, or hypotrichosis. It can help lashes grow longer, thicker, and darker with continued use. Medical screening and careful application are required.
Nutrafol offers nutraceutical and topical options for hair and skin concerns. Review supplement ingredients and your history with a clinician because health conditions, medications, pregnancy, surgery, and laboratory testing may matter.
Home care can prepare skin, support recovery, and maintain visible improvements. An ill-timed active can increase irritation.
Before and after treatments such as chemical peels, microneedling, MOXI®, or BBL®, you may need to pause retinoids, exfoliating acids, brightening agents, or other active products. Post-treatment care often emphasizes gentle cleansing, hydration, barrier support, and sun protection.
Follow procedure-specific instructions. Restart dates depend on treatment intensity, healing, and the product involved.
Surface hydration may improve quickly. Congestion, tone, texture, fine lines, lashes, or hair usually require consistent use over weeks or months. Sunscreen protects when applied correctly and reapplied as directed.
Use baseline photos and assess one planned change at a time. Individual results vary; no product stops normal aging or guarantees an outcome.
Add one active product at a time before changing something else. Patch testing may help identify sensitivity. Use the amount, frequency, and order recommended for the exact formula. Applying extra product rarely produces faster results and may increase dryness, redness, peeling, or breakouts.
Morning routines generally prioritize antioxidant support, moisture, and broad-spectrum sunscreen. Evening routines may include retinoids, exfoliating acids, pigment-focused formulas, or recovery products when appropriate. This is only a framework; the order depends on texture, formulation, and instructions.
Some ingredients require added caution. Retinoids, hydroxy acids, benzoyl peroxide, and certain brightening products may irritate skin when introduced too quickly or combined poorly. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, prescription medications, allergies, eye conditions, and upcoming procedures can also change what is appropriate.
Supplements deserve the same care as topical products. Share them with your healthcare providers and do not assume that natural means risk-free.
Stop a new product and contact your provider if you develop significant swelling, blistering, hives, eye symptoms, difficulty breathing, or severe pain. Urgent or rapidly worsening symptoms may require immediate medical care. For dryness or mild irritation, pause active ingredients and ask Nuance how to simplify your routine while the skin settles.
Nuance combines more than 100 years of collective aesthetic and wellness experience with longer, relationship-focused appointments. Our team understands how professional products fit alongside injectables, facials, lasers, and other treatments, and how Utah’s climate and elevation can affect daily hydration and sun-protection habits.
Most importantly, the recommendation is not tied to one brand or trend. Nuance can compare options across multiple professional lines and help you create a routine that suits your skin, budget, schedule, and tolerance. If a product is unnecessary or a concern belongs with another medical professional, honest guidance comes first.

Bring your current products, questions, and skincare goals to Nuance Aesthetics + Wellness. We will help you simplify the noise, understand your options, and build a routine designed for consistent use and long-term skin health.
“Medical-grade” is not a formal FDA product category. The phrase is commonly used for professional skincare sold or recommended in clinical settings. What matters is the exact formula, evidence, concentration, packaging, proper use, and whether the product is appropriate for your skin.
No. A routine can combine compatible products from different brands. Staying within one line may simplify layering, but it is not automatically better. Nuance focuses on the role each product serves and how the complete routine works together.
Start with a gentle cleanser, a suitable moisturizer, and broad-spectrum sunscreen. Once that foundation feels comfortable, add one targeted activity for your main concern. Introducing several strong products at once makes irritation more likely and results harder to evaluate.
Some experienced users tolerate nightly retinol, while others need less frequent application. Strength, formulation, skin sensitivity, climate, and other active ingredients all matter. Begin according to professional guidance, moisturize appropriately, and use daily sunscreen. Pause and contact your provider if irritation becomes persistent or significant.
No. Price alone does not establish quality or suitability. A useful product has a clear role, compatible ingredients, appropriate packaging, and a texture you will use consistently. Nuance can help prioritize where professional formulas may add value and where a simpler option may be enough.
Not always. Retinoids, acids, scrubs, pigment products, and other active formulas may need to pause. Use only the products approved in your procedure-specific aftercare plan and restart actives when your provider confirms that your skin has healed sufficiently.
Reconsider a product if it repeatedly causes irritation, no longer suits your skin, duplicates another formula, has expired, or conflicts with a treatment or prescription. Sudden or severe symptoms deserve medical attention rather than another product swap.
