Refresh Your Spring Skin Care Routine with These Tips!
You’ve probably heard of “spring cleaning” when it’s referred to your house, closet, car, or just life in general. But have you ever considered spring cleaning for your skincare routine? Our skin is constantly changing, so what may have worked in December might not be working in May. It’s for that reason that it’s so important to change up your skincare routine to help get your skin back on track before the hot, sunny days of summer. Here are a few tips to keep your skin looking fresh.
1. Exfoliate
It’s time to buff away the dry, deadened skin of winter and make way for the glowing skin of spring. Exfoliation is key whether you use a physical exfoliator, like a cloth or sugar scrub, or a chemical exfoliant with BHAs and AHAs.
Another great way to exfoliate is through micro-needling. It might sound intimidating, but it’s actually one of the most beneficial skin treatments. It works by creating microscopic injuries in the skin that will promote a surge of collagen and elastin production to heal and tighten the skin. It also ensures that your serums and moisturizers can penetrate deeper into the skin layer so you can fight off early signs of aging, large pores, hyperpigmentation, and even past scarring.
2. Out with the Old
It’s time to open up that bathroom cupboard and go through your skincare products. Not many people know that many skincare and cosmetics come with an expiration date, and most products should be thrown away 12-24 months after opening. Old, expired products can lead to a lackluster complexion, breakouts, and irritations; also, you may no longer be seeing results.
3. Revitalize the Skin with a Laser Treatment
With summer right around the corner, the last thing we want on our face in the hot, hazy weather of beach days and pool parties is a face full of makeup to cover up the errors of our past. Laser facial treatments like Halo™ are a great way to improve your skin’s overall tone and texture, remove discolorations, and reduce pore size to reveal your skin’s luminous glow so you can have self-confidence in your skin to go bare-faced all summer long.
4. SPF Is Your New BFF
The sun may make our days fun, but it can do more damage than good when it comes to our skin. Be sure to apply an SPF of 30 or high using either a physical sunscreen or a chemical, depending on your preference. By applying sunscreen every day, whether you’re inside or outside, you’ll be protecting your skin from early signs of aging, discoloration, dullness, and even skin cancer. As the last step to your skincare routine, don’t skip the SPF.
5. Try Injectables To Refresh Your Skin
Cosmetic injectables like dermal fillers and Botox can provide you with a much-needed beauty boost with zero downtime. Restore facial volume, smooth wrinkles, and hydrate the skin with just a few quick injections. Whether you’re preparing for Spring Break, a Spring vacation, or to stay home, your skin will look youthful, radiant, and refreshed.
