Make Life-Long SkinCare Commitment

SkinCare – Make Life-long Commitments Instead of New Year’s Resolutions

So have your New Year’s resolutions already gone out the window? Maybe instead of resolutions, you should dedicate yourself to long-term goals and plans that you can stick with. Let’s start with feeling good about how you look.

You can live a lifetime of healthier, better and younger looking skin as long as you devote yourself to an ongoing regimen. And it’s never too early to start an anti-aging program. So get going now with these four simple steps you can follow for the rest of your life. Because even though you’re older tomorrow, your skin doesn’t have to show it.

Cleanse

This is the first and most crucial step in your healthy skin care program because it prepares your skin for the other steps. Clean your skin in the morning and at night. A creamy cleanser is great for dry skin and removing makeup. A cleanser that lathers up is good for oilier skin. Look for products with glycolic acid, which exfoliates and balances out oils, salicylic acid, which dissolves oils (a major factor for acne) and benzoyl peroxide, which controls bacteria.

Never, ever go to bed without removing your makeup. It’s a proven fact that leaving it on will age your skin.

Treat

To treat your skin, look for products that contain active ingredients such as retinol or glycolic acid. These ingredients energize your skin cells, making them migrate to the surface, leaving your skin soft and supple, erasing fine lines and wrinkles.

Balance

Think of balancing products as vitamins for your skin. You may already be taking supplements, but did you know that the skin is the last organ of the body to receive any of the benefits? Your balancing products should include ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin A and, most importantly, peptides. Peptides are responsible for producing collagen and elastin. They also have the ability to lighten the skin.

Protect

Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Ninety percent of what you see on aging skin is due to the sun. Protect those healthy cells that you’ve cleaned, treated and balanced with a daily dose of sunscreen. We recommend a minimum 30 SPF here in Florida.
