Rethinking Your Skincare Routine
07/07/25
Rethinking Your Skincare Routine— and why that’s not as scary as it sounds.
At Soma Medical Spa, we understand how personal skincare is. It’s not just a routine—it’s a relationship you build with yourself. So we get it when clients feel hesitant to change products, even when they’re not seeing results. Maybe you’ve been using the same moisturizer for years, or you’re unsure if your skin “really needs all that.” Or maybe the words “medical-grade skincare” sound a little intimidating. Let’s talk about why change isn’t just okay—it might be exactly what your skin is craving.
Understanding Your Skin Type (and How It Can Change)
Most people categorize their skin into one type—oily, dry, sensitive, or combination—and call it a day. But here’s the truth: skin isn’t static. Hormones, stress, climate, diet, and age all affect how your skin behaves. That’s why a product that once worked wonders might suddenly stop delivering results. This is where a professional consultation comes in. At Soma, we evaluate your current skin condition—not just your “type”—to create a plan that evolves with you.
Why Some Products Plateau
Skincare is a long game, but it’s also one that benefits from innovation and targeted ingredients. If your current products aren’t improving texture, tone, hydration, or breakouts, you’re not doing your skin any favors by staying loyal to them. In fact, staying in a skincare comfort zone could be the very reason you’re not seeing progress.
Demystifying Medical-Grade Skincare
“Medical-grade” doesn’t mean harsh or synthetic. It means the product contains active ingredients at clinically proven concentrations, backed by science and often regulated for safety and efficacy. But that doesn’t mean sacrificing nature.
Take iS Clinical and Cible Skin, for example. These lines are perfect examples of where science and botanicals meet:
- iS Clinical uses pharmaceutical-grade botanicals alongside clinical data to create formulas that treat acne, signs of aging, rosacea, and more—without irritating the skin barrier.
- Cible Skin, developed in Paris, focuses on skin balance and barrier support with a biotech-meets-botanicals approach. It’s microbiome-friendly and designed to work with your skin, not against it.
- PCA Skin offers solutions rooted in scientific research but with gentle, plant-based actives that support daily use and long-term skin health.
Consistency Is Everything
Even the best products can’t do much if they’re only used occasionally. Thinking of skincare like exercise or nutrition—it’s the day-to-day commitment that leads to visible change. And just like a great trainer, we’re here to guide you with the right tools and knowledge for your skin’s unique journey.
Investing in Your Skin Is Self-Respect, Not Vanity
Consider this—your skin is your largest organ and your first line of defense against environmental stressors. Investing in high-quality, purposeful skincare isn’t indulgence. It’s care. It’s protection. It’s longevity.
Final Thoughts: Evolve With Confidence
We’re not here to push products, we’re here to partner with you. We believe in science-backed, botanical-based, ethical skincare that’s personalized and effective. If you’re ready to see change, you may need to make a change—and we’re here to help you feel confident doing so. Book a consultation with us to learn what your skin is really asking for—and how to give it the care it deserves.
