Healthy Skin Awareness Month
If you didn’t know, – November is Healthy Skin Awareness month. Maintaining healthy skin starts from the inside out. A well balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables and hydration are critical. Diet combined with proper skin care,which includes in office treatments and at home regimes, will keep you looking your best.
A well balanced diet that includes fruits and vegetables provides your body with the vitamins and minerals necessary to combat free radicals which can lead to premature aging. Vitamins A, C and E are antioxidants that prevent damage to the molecules that support your skin cells. It is important to ingest these vitamins as well as apply them topically to provide the ultimate protection against these damaging free radicals.
Along with fruits and vegetables, it is very important to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Staying hydrated will not only leave the skin glowing but also rids the skin and body of harmful toxins. Staying hydrated with water can also minimize fine lines on the face by keeping the skin looking plump and firm. It is recommended to drink 8 full glasses of water as a daily minimum.
Lastly, a consistent skin care regime that includes in house medical spa treatments and at home products, are the finishing touches in keeping your skin looking its best. A basic regimen consisting of at least a cleanser, moisturizer and spf is recommended. There are many other products you can incorporate into your regimen to keep the skin healthy and address specific problems such as rosacea, hyperpigmentation, acne, fine lines and wrinkles. Two treatments that we offer here at the Dermacenter that will keep the skin healthy and glowing are chemical peels and microdermabrasions. It is important to exfoliate the skin with these treatments because it rids the skin of old dead skin cells so new healthy ones are able to generate. When the skin is not exfoliated old skin cells pile up on the surface leaving the skin looking dull and dry which can also lead to acne or more visible fine lines and wrinkles. At the Dermacenter Medical Spa, we carry cosmetics by Environ which has a product line geared to every skin type.
