This year, more than ever, the holidays mean gatherings and events. When you are in person and not hiding behind a video meeting, your skin is the star. You may have tried everything (and I mean everything!) to get rid of that tired, dull and uneven skin. It is likely you have bought lots of products--from the most expensive creams to the least expensive--that don't deliver. But there is hope. So Let’s get that holiday glow back!
Skincare is something to work on regularly. Our skin is our largest organ and it has some important jobs. Therefore, building a healthy routine to take care of your skin is vital to improving its appearance. According to Webmd.com, lots of things can impact this dry appearance such as hot showers or medical conditions. There are some tactics to improve the look and feel of skin.
First, use a GENTLE exfoliator (please no apricot scrub) 2-3 times a week. This step this removes the dry dead skin. Dead skin prevents your products from maximizing their impact. Once you get rid of that dead skin, you will see and feel better product absorption.
Speaking of product, selecting the right daily cleanser and moisturizer are vital. Incorporating them into a full routine based on your skin type and using them regularly ensures the best results. Results should improve with repeated consistency.
The next routine is ensuring that you drink enough water. How much? Opinions vary and it is dependent on a number of factors such as gender or weight according to Everday Health. A good rule of thumb I follow is to cut your body weight in half which equals how many ounces you need to consume.
Facials are extremely good and bring the blood flow back to the face resulting in a healthy glow and self-care. The massage stimulates collagen production resulting in a dewy, plump result. An Aesthetician is trained and holds an NJ-state license, which is an advantage in maximizing results. A nice bonus of a professional facial is the relaxation aspect of a service.
Microdermabrasion is a mechanical way to exfoliate the dry dead skin a little deeper. A special tool is used to get the desired effect, which includes improved appearance of a variety of skin issues such as wrinkles, acne scars and uneven skin tone. A consultation prior to the service allows you to learn more about the process, review your goals and skin challenges. Note: this service should never be done on active acne or Rosacea.
Following these simple tips will improve your skin's feel and appearance while making you ready to shine this holiday season.
