As we look to a new year, it’s time to make resolutions for skincare. Your skin is the largest organ in your body and plays a vital role in protecting you from the harmful effects of the environment. Whether you have dry, oily, or combination skin, incorporating healthy skincare habits can help you achieve radiant skin. Youthful Infusion Med Spa wants to help our patients in Allen and Tyler with amazing skincare tips. Contact us today to schedule a consultation.
Stay Hydrated
One of the best ways to boost the health and beauty of your skin is to drink plenty of water. When your body is dehydrated, you’ll notice dry and flaky skin. Drinking enough water will help keep your skin looking plump and moisturized. If you’re someone who tends to forget to drink water throughout the day, we recommend carrying a reusable water bottle with you. Adding fruits like lemons, strawberries, or watermelon to your water bottle often makes it more refreshing for people who don’t enjoy water. We also recommend our IV Infusion treatments to boost your hydration levels.
Remember to Exfoliate
Exfoliating your skin can help remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and give you a smoother complexion. Depending on your skin type, exfoliating twice a week is typically recommended. However, it’s important not to over-exfoliate as this can lead to irritation, inflammation, and dryness. Choose a gentle exfoliator that matches your skin type, massage it into your skin, and rinse it off with lukewarm water.Â
Wear Sunscreen Every DayÂ
Sun damage is a critical problem for the skin. It causes wrinkles, premature aging, and skin cancer. Wearing sunscreen daily is one of the most important things you can do to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Choose a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and apply it to your face, neck, and hands every morning before leaving the house. It’s also essential to reapply sunscreen throughout the day, especially if you’re spending time outdoors. As us about our EltaMD® professional sunscreen products.
Stop Picking at Your Skin
We all know how tempting it is to pick at a pimple once it appears on your face. However, picking can cause inflammation, spread bacteria, and even lead to scarring. Instead of picking at your pimples, try spot treatments with salicylic acid, tea tree oil, or benzoyl peroxide to help reduce redness and inflammation.
Moisturize Regularly
Keeping your skin moisturized is vital for healthy skin. The job of a moisturizer is to prevent dryness, lock in moisture, and provide a protective barrier against environmental pollutants. Depending on your skin type, we can help you pick a moisturizer that suits your needs and apply it twice a day, morning and night. Remember to choose fragrance-free and non-comedogenic formulas to avoid clogging pores.
