Since your skin is the largest organ in your body that covers you from top to toe, it undoubtedly plays a large part in your overall appearance. It’s the only organ in your body that is visible to both yourself and others. When it’s hydrated and healthy, you will look healthy and youthful, whereas skin that’s tired, dry, and run-down will make you look worse for wear. So, what can you do to give your skin the care that it deserves and restore it to a healthy and glowing condition? We’ve put together some top skincare tips to consider.
#1. Visit a Skin Rejuvenation Center:
Treating yourself to a range of skincare treatments such as a chemical peel, skin rejuvenation, derma planning or a Silk Peel dermal infusion at Coberly Med Spa could be just what your skin needs to kick-start its transformation. If your skin is in need of a ‘quick fix, there are several professional treatments that you can choose from to give it the healthy boost that it needs, getting rid of dead skin cells and cleaning your pores. If your skin is particularly irritated or dry, it’s a wise idea to book an appointment with your doctor, as this could well be a symptom of a condition that you’re unaware of.
#2. Keep it Moisturized:
If you’re not doing it already, using moisturizer as a part of your daily skincare routine is a great way to lock moisture into your skin and keep dryness, flakiness, and irritation at bay. It’s a good idea to apply moisturizer to your face at least after you step out of the shower when your skin is moist, to lock as much moisture in as possible and keep your skin hydrated. It’s also a wise idea to use a moisturizer that contains SPF, so your skin stays protected from the harmful UV rays of the sun.
#3. Stay Hydrated:
Along with keeping your skin hydrated from the outside, it’s also just as, if not more, important to hydrate it from the inside. A massive percentage of the water that you drink is needed by your skin, so make sure that you’re getting enough to go around your entire body. Ideally, you should be looking to drink around 6-8 glasses of water per day.
#4. Eat Skin-Friendly Foods:
In addition to drinking plenty of water, the food that you eat will also have an impact on the condition of your skin. Foods that are rich in proteins, antioxidants, nutrients, and omega-3’s are the best for your skin; get plenty of lean meat, nuts and seeds, oily fish, and leafy green vegetables and your skin will thank you.
#5. Manage Stress:
Last but not least, your stress levels can have an effect on the health and condition of your skin. Have you ever noticed that an unsightly pimple is more likely to appear on your skin before an event or something else that you’ve been nervous about? Stress reduction techniques such as yoga, tai chi, and meditation will not only help your mental health but also your skin.
Include these five tips in your daily health and skincare routine, and you’ll begin to notice the difference.
