South Florida: The Skin Belt

South Florida offers so many different types of skin care treatments that residents are starting to refer to it as the "Skin Belt."  The moniker "Sun belt" definately had

an impact on this nickname, but the amount of skin care companies and treatments that are accessible in South Florida is off the charts.  People are flocking to

South Florida to treat their skin and get some of the best skin care products and treatments available today.



If you open up any City Pages, New Times, or other locally made publication, you will see a plethora of advertisements from cosmetic surgeons and skin care

manufacturers alike that are helping people look younger.  Of course, places like Aventura are popular with women who are looking at skin and cosmetic surgeries

from breast augmentation to Dysport.  Every high-end hotel on the Miami skyline has some sort of wellness spa, and many of them come with some of the best

follow-up skin care treatments that are aimed to reduce wrinkles, help get rid of dark circles around the eyes, and smooth out skin on the neck. 



So why do so many skin care professionals choose to set up their operation in the Skin Belt?  Here are a few reasons....



1. Miami's location makes it very simple to import ingredients from laboratories overseas.  Many of the best ingredients come from labs in other parts of the world,

such as Europe. 



2. Companies can deliver to international customers much faster than their competitors outside of the "Skin Belt."



3. Many local companies and spa's are business-to-business customers private labeling or distributing the locally made skin care products. 



4. The local population is affected each and every day by the sun.  Skin care consumers are very abundant in South Florida.
