Simple Tips & Tricks to Great Skin
For great skin, follow a few simple tips and tricks of the trade that will have your complexion looking flawless in no time. Start fresh with these easy tidbits—your skin will love you!
01 CATCH SOME ZZZ
We all know that getting a good night’s sleep will refresh your mind and body, but what about your skin? Sleep is necessary for our bodies to build up energy reserves and regenerate body cells and tissues. Getting an adequate amount of sleep each night also helps the body to metabolize free radicals. So keep skin looking radiant by catching some extra zzz’s.
02 TAKE YOUR VITAMINS
Healthy skin starts with a healthy diet of protein, vegetables, fruits and carbohydrates. Also, taking a multi-vitamin provides your skin with tons of benefits. Vitamins give you energy, prevent disease and protect the body from harmful environmental elements. A daily dosage is helpful in keeping skin beautiful, both inside and out.
03 DRINK MORE (WATER, THAT IS!)
There is simply no substitute for water. The majority of the human body, including 85 percent of the brain, is comprised of water. Maintain your skin’s radiant glow and improve its texture by drinking plenty of water. Believe it or not, water is one of the best methods (and the cheapest, too!) for keeping your skin healthy and supple.
04 GO NATURAL
Purify and refreshen your skin by indulging in a weekly, at-home or spa facial treatment like a face mask—an important step that is often overlooked in a skin care regimen. Also, choose a mask that contains natural exfoliating ingredients, which will not only keep your skin cleansed and nourished, but will also serve as a gentle exfoliator.
05 PROTECT! PROTECT! PROTECT!
Although it’s common only to think about sun protection during the summer months, you should still use a product with an SPF (Sun Protection Factor) during the winter season. Even in colder weather, the sun can cause damage to the skin. Prevent premature aging and the formation of lines and wrinkles
by using a product that will protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
06 GOODBYE DRY
Using a product that’s packed with moisturizing properties will keep your skin looking youthful and healthy all year long. Now that winter has arrived, it’s time to switch out your lightweight face cream for something a little more moisturizing. Remember to choose products that will deliver a daily infusion of moisture to keep skin supple.
07 EXFOLIATE… EVERYWHERE!
Since cold weather can sometimes zap moisture from the skin, it is important to exfoliate to keep it fresh and revitalized. Exfoliating both your face and your body on a weekly basis will remove dead skin cells, dirt and debris, and will help creams to set in faster and deliver added moisture.
Say “NO” to Glycolic Acid Peels!
Put simply, your skin has no receptors for glycolic acid, so it’s method of action is to destroy whatever it can. We believe the effects you see are because the skin, in response to the trauma, replaces itself with new layers. The epidermis swells a little in response to the inflammation, and the new skin is less pigmented. Sounds good, BUT, the net effect is the skin’s resources were used to repair the recent damage (to the epidermis) rather than repairing the substantial damage (to the dermis), which was the initial treatment goal. Chronic exfoliation of the epidermis, starves the dermis of vital nutrients, water and lipids leaving an often red, painful and irritated skin. We believe there is a time and place for a glycolic treatment, but it is the exception rather than the rule.
Irritation no longer required. Why apply harsh, damaging chemicals to your skin if a soothing natural solution is available and proven to enhance your skin’s appearance. Look for treatments and products that work with your skin to target the most troublesome skin conditions without the irritation or downtime of conventional treatments. Look for the most purified, chirally correct ingredients you can find.
Why Chiral? Chirality refers to the right-handedness and left-handedness of the molecules in our bodies and the ingredients we apply to them. Ingredients that have been chirally corrected have been filtered to contain only molecules that positively interact with the skin. Because of the time and money required for chiral correction, many skin care brands use achiral ingredients. These ingredients are often diluted by ineffectual , and sometimes harmful molecules that can irritate the skin and weaken the formula. Throw in some chemical fragrances and a few preservatives and you have an even more adverse reaction.
A few suggestions. There are a few cutting-edge, advanced cosmeceutical lines to check out. We like Cosmedix, Pure Skin Solutions, and some of the PCA formulations. There are others if you want to research. We believe that gorgeously glowing skin shouldn’t come at the cost of comfort or excessive recovery time. Now that’s beautiful!
