It seems as if everything gets brighter when the spring sunshine arrives—why not add your skin to this list? We’re sharing our best tips for achieving gorgeous, glowing skin this spring season. Follow these simple steps and give yourself the gift of beautiful skin that will last through the spring, summer, and beyond!
Your Skin No Longer Needs a Winter Coat… Exfoliate!
Winter weather is hard on the skin. Cold, blustery weather outside can leave the skin feeling chapped and irritated while indoor heating dries the skin, stripping it of vital moisture and hydration. Many patients find that their skin gets very dull in the winter months as dry, damaged skin cells build up on the surface of the skin. Now that spring has arrived, it’s time to do something about it.
Exfoliation helps to remove the layers of damaged skin that winter leaves behind to have it shining for the sunnier seasons. Light exfoliation can be performed at home. Be careful to avoid harsh products that contain exfoliants like apricot kernel that can damage the skin.
For a deeper exfoliation, come into our office for a chemical peel. The treatments performed by a skilled professional at a doctor’s office are much more effective than the exfoliating treatments performed at home.
Prep Your Skin for Spring with HydraFacial
Get your skin spring-ready with a HydraFacial. This treatment offers all the benefits of a traditional facial using a gentle and nourishing formula that is safe for all skin types. We love that this treatment provides instantaneous results. You’ll see brighter skin as soon as you leave our office.
The innovative HydraFacial combines cleansing, peeling, exfoliation, extractions, hydration, and skin protection into a transformative treatment for your skin. It is easily customizable to target your specific skin concerns.
Go Easy on Indulgences
For many of our patients, alcohol and springtime celebrations go hand in hand. Unfortunately, too many spirits can wreak havoc on the skin. Alcohol can cause some skin conditions like rosacea and psoriasis to flare-up. It also dehydrates the skin.
If you’re going to drink, do it in moderation. Make sure you’re drinking lots of water to rehydrate the skin whenever you do indulge in a beverage or two.
This same advice applies to other indulgences like late nights, fatty foods, and too much caffeine. Keep your skin at its best by enjoying everything in moderation and maintaining a healthy, well-rounded lifestyle.
