Our skin protects us from many environmental factors, including bacteria, harmful UV rays and injury to our organs. In return, we should do everything we can to keep it healthy! Although the skin is our largest organ, caring for it is rather simple. The following tips will help keep your skin looking youthful, pliable and radiant.
Keeping Your Skin Clean
Regardless of whether you wear makeup, it is imperative to keep your skin clean. Washing your face daily rinses away dirt, prevents oily skin and reduces your risk of developing acne. If you do wear makeup and neglect to wash it off at night, your pores can become clogged over time. The result? Pimple, whitehead and blackhead breakouts or sebaceous cysts.
Hydrating Your Skin
The human body is made up of 70 percent water. Well-hydrated skin appears younger and more pliable than dry, dehydrated skin. Our skin retains moisture through hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body. Hyaluronic acid gives your skin a dewy glow while helping to prevent reduce wrinkles. In addition to daily moisturizing, drinking water will help keep your skin supple, soft and glowing.
Fighting Against Wrinkles
The single greatest tool you can use for your skin to prevent wrinkles, sun spots and environmental damage is a superior sunscreen protecting you against both UVA/UVB rays. Quality moisturizers can help keep skin firm and prevent diminish future wrinkles. Apply these products to the parts of the face where lines and wrinkles are most common: around the eyes, lips and on the forehead. Additionally, be sure to:
- Drink plenty of water
- Wash and exfoliate your face
- Use moisturizer with SPF
- Eat foods rich in antioxidants
- Get plenty of sleep
Aesthetic Treatments
At the Vein Centers of Connecticut, we offer two types of chemical skin peels. One of the main differences between a chemical peel and a facial is that chemical peels strip away surface layer cells to allow new ones to grow. Facials cleanse the surface layer to revitalize the existing skin cells. You can expect the following skin benefits from our Neo-Peels®, Vitalize® or Illuminize® Peels:
- Fresh, rejuvenated skin
- An improved, even complexion
- Smooth, radiant skin
- Treatment of pigment changes
