WHAT CAN I DO TO IMPROVE MY SKIN HEALTH?
ALWAYS
Water – Drink enough water.
Sunscreen – Wear every day. Reapply if needed.
Smoking – Don’t smoke. Ever.
Sleep – Make sure you’re getting at least 7 hours of sleep every night, 8 if possible
Diet – As a general rule, and a definite for healthy skin, it’s smart to avoid overly processed foods. There are some specific foods that can directly improve skin health:
- Healthy fats like avocado, salmon, nuts
- Antioxidant-rich foods like blueberries, green tea and dark chocolate
- Vitamin A & C rich foods like tomatoes, sweet potatoes, red peppers and broccoli
- Detoxifying foods like watermelon and celery
- Inflammation reducers like celery, turmeric
- Protein-rich foods to help your body produce collagen
– You can also consider supplements like vitamins E, C, D, calcium, collagen, and probiotics
DAILY / WEEKLY
Cleansing – Washing your face is essential for removing dirt, oil and debris. Remove impurities by washing twice daily for most skin types.
Moisturizing – Keep your skin hydrated by moisturizing twice daily or as needed. A moisturizer will help keep your skin balanced.
Exfoliating – A gentle exfoliator helps remove excess sebum and dead skin cells to make way for the glowing new skin underneath. Start with once per week and then see what your skin needs. To go one step further, consider adding a weekly mask. Find one that suits your specific skin goals.
MONTHLY
Professional visits – Just like taking care of your teeth, it’s important to supplement your at-home regimen with regularly-scheduled professional visits. A deep cleansing, exfoliating and hydrating treatment will enhance the work you’re doing.
