Healthy Skin Care Habits You Should Be Adopting

May 4

Taking care of your skin is important and a daily skincare routine plays an important part in our overall skin health. Because it’s not just about coming in to get facial treatments, it’s also about what you do between appointments that matters!

HERE ARE SOME HEALTHY SKIN CARE HABITS WE LIKE TO ABIDE BY!

Stay hydrated

Drinking enough water throughout the day not only keeps your body hydrated and feeling good, it also increases the hydration levels in your skin making you appear more radiant. However there's some science as to why that is.

It's important that we are drinking half our body weight in ounces in order to stay adequately hydrated. Not only that, but you need to be mindful of making sure you're drinking high-quality water so you're actually absorbing what you're consuming. Let's get technical for a second.

Did you know that molecules have an electrical spin? In the human body, healthy cells turn right while molecules in polluted water, tap water, and even well water all turn left. This is why it's crucial that you choose to consume water that contains molecules that spin right. That way your body will actually absorb it!

We can chat more on this topic during your consultation but in the meantime, step away from the tap water to increase hydration!

Choose products for your skin type

The kind of skin care products that work for oily skin versus dry or sensitive skin are vastly different. Choosing products that are formulated for your unique skin concerns, will work better for your skin overall. Don’t grab just anything because “just anything” may not work for you so it’s important to select products that are right for your skin type!

Wear your sunscreen – OBSESSIVELY!

Exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays negatively impacts the condition of your skin and it's that daily UV exposure that contributes to the visible signs of aging. Rain or shine, winter or summer, you need to be wearing SPF if you want to stay looking younger, longer.

Make sure to grab one that’s at least SPF 20 and apply multiple times throughout the day to truly get the benefits!

Exfoliation is the key to glowing skin

We lose around 50 million skin cells a day so it’s important to give them a bit of a nudge if we want that beautiful, healthy glow. Exfoliating a few times a week is a great way to make the skin look more evenly toned and luminous.

But be careful - one size does not fit all when it comes to exfoliation. Be sure to consult with us before choosing the right one for you!

Wash that makeup off before bed

Whether you know it or not, your makeup is a carrier of free radicals in the environment. Failure to properly wash your face at night means your skin is basically “sleeping with” these free radicals. Why are free radicals bad? They can damage the healthy collagen in your skin resulting in fine lines and wrinkles!

Even if you don't wear makeup, your skin collects dust and dirt throughout the day that sits on your skin so it’s important to cleanse, make up or not, before you hit the pillow!
