Trying to keep up with the holiday social calendar is exhausting! Stress and fatigue take a toll on you and dampen your healthy glow. We have a few tips on how to keep that Healthy Glow all year long!
Your best defense is to maintain a skin care regimen that meets the specific needs of your skin. During the new year, we really want to look our best when spending time with family and friends. Peels and exfoliants remove the superficial dead skin cells to reveal the deeper, younger looking layer, creating a healthy glow. Quick treatments in the office will make a significant improvement in your appearance.
Maintaining proper hydration is key to keeping the glow! Hydrated skin is healthy looking skin! Dehydrated skin will make you look older and tired. Fine lines and wrinkles are accentuated and the flaking skin looks unhealthy. The skin may feel tight and burn. Watch out for these hydration challenges.
- Dry air – heat, warm cozy fires, and airplane ventilation systems will dry out the skin.
- Harsh environments – such as wind and cold temperatures injure the skin
- Beverages –alcohol and caffeine decrease blood flow to the skin and dull the appearance of the skin
You are able to prevent dehydration and minimize the damage of these agents, both internally and externally.
- Dry air – use a moisturizer and/or thermal water spray before, during, and after an airplane ride. Neocutis Hyalis uses hyaluronic acid and growth factors to replenish the skin
- Harsh environments – use a moisturizer with SPF, antioxidants, and growth factors to protect the skin and repair the damage from environmental agents. The Obagi sunblock replenishes moisture to the skin and protects the skin with an SPF of 35. Neocutis Lumiere eye cream and Biogel use growth factors to repair skin damage
- Beverages – drink 64oz of water every day and use the Clarisonic skin care system to increase blood flow to the skin.
