When we first look at someone, the first thing we may notice is the condition of their skin. If yours is not “up” to that first impression, say goodbye to clogged pores and hello to healthy, radiant skin. With the help of a good skincare routine, you’ll feel more confident in putting your best face forward. Let’s take a look at three different benefits of a good skincare routine.
It Slows the Signs of Aging
Whether it’s at-home over-the-counter skincare, or medical-grade skincare, the products you choose to use and the procedures you choose to do have a lot to do with turning back the hands of time when it comes to the appearance of your skin. Having regular appointments to unclog your pores or resurface the skin can do a lot for ridding the skin of bacteria and reducing fine lines and wrinkles in the face. Keeping your face hydrated with different creams and serums may also help with promoting the body’s natural production of collagen and prevent the skin from looking dull. We recommend using these creams and serums in addition to microneedling to resurface the skin, fillers to address volue loss and facial aging, and Botox® or Dysport® to relax lines of the forehead and crow’s feet for maximum anti-aging effects.
It Acts as a Defense
One of the most common ways we damage our skin is by going outside unprotected. This means we should be applying moisturizers and SPF to ensure our skin is protected from the sun’s harmful rays. It doesn’t matter if it’s cold or warm, rain or shine, the sun can still damage your skin. Make sure you’re taking the proper precautions by wearing sunscreen on the face and body daily to help keep sun spots, fine lines, and wrinkles away.
It Hydrates
Our skin needs hydration to look its best. Water and hydration are one of the most important aspects of skincare to keep the skin looking smooth and healthy, no matter the time of year. Although the air in south Florida is never really dry, we need to take preventative measures to make sure we keep the moisture in our skin. Consider skincare products like serums and creams with SPF to keep the skin feeling plump and hydrated throughout the day. Don’t forget to hydrate before bed, too! It’s important that we take care of our skin through all hours of the day and night, even if we are sleeping. Consider putting on a hydrating mask or skin cream before bed to keep your skin hydrated all night long.
