Because your skin is the poster child of your face, you’ll want to preserve it as best you can. After all, who wants to sit with a face like a prune?
Beware the sun
First up, sun exposure is the number one culprit in causing photodamage. So once again, we stress the importance of using a sunscreen with SPF50 or higher. Don’t skimp on this! Follow the rules and you’ll be rewarded many times over in the years to come. Apart from preserving your skin, you’ll minimise the risk of skin cancer. In white populations skin cancer is directly related to UV exposure. So in addition to a high-factor sunscreen, wear long-sleeved clothing, a hat and stay in the shade between 11h00 and 15h00 on sunny days.
Extra help
In the dance of anti-ageing, it’s also a good idea to schedule regular chemical peels to slough off those dead skin cells. In fact, there are many people out there who wouldn’t dream of foregoing their regular chemical peel treatments – no matter what.
But we all need some extra help on our skincare journeys. That’s why Lasermed offers gold-standard treatments in IPL, microdermabrasion, Mini Frax 1550, Dermapen Advanced microneedling and skin tightening.
Some TLC
Be kind to your skin. Moisturise as soon as you step out of the bath or shower and look for ingredients such as glycerin, mineral oil, or hyaluronic acid in the product you choose. Those ingredients hold moisture in the skin.
Stick
to mild cleansers that are free from strong fragrances and alcohol that can dry
out skin. And in cold weather, turn on a humidifier to add moisture to the air.
Finally,
the secret to looking beautiful comes from within. Love yourself!
