Your Skin Care Secrets

Everyone’s looking for the secret to flawless skin. But with all the crazy claims and products out there, finding what’s right for your skin can be a challenge. These tips may seem logical, but keep them in mind and you’ll be asked the ‘secret’ to your beautiful skin for years to come:

 

1.      Avoid Sun Exposure. Age Spots, wrinkles, and freckles can all be caused directly by the sun, and can make skin appear discolored and prematurely aged. If you do plan to enjoy the outdoors, wear a high-SPF sun block, protective clothing, and try to avoid direct exposure between 10am and 2pm, when the sun’s rays are strongest. Treatments like laser resurfacing and chemical peels can help treat sun damaged skin.

2.      Get to Know Your Skin. Understanding your individual skin type will help you find the right products and effectively meet your skin’s needs. Not sure if you’re dry, oily, or combination? Ask a skin care professional at DermaNetwork.org.

 

3.      Indulge Your Skin. Treat yourself and boost your skin’s health. Consider adding regular facials , light chemical peels, or massages to your skin care routine. The relaxing treatments will help you reduce stress and improve your skin’s condition at the same time.

 

5.      Quit smoking. Smoking compromises circulation, and as the body’s largest organ, the skin needs all the oxygen-rich blood it can get. Consult your Doctor for information about how to quit.

 

Enjoying healthy, radiant skin doesn’t have to be complicated. Giving your skin the attention it deserves can be a rewarding way to promote overall health. To learn more about skin care and cosmetic treatments, connect to a local specialist.
