World Health Day - Skincare

Before we dive into the Dermologica products that are great for your skin it’s important to also know external & personal factors impacting your skin health.

The Sun

Protecting your skin from the sun is one of the most important ways to take care of your skin. Sun exposure cases wrinkles, age spots, increase the risk of skin cancer and other skin problems. This is why many face/makeup products include SPF – use the sunscreen – this is the best way to stay protected from the sun. Use at least SPF15 and be sure to reapply!

Smoking

Smoking contributes to wrinkles and making your skin look older. The skin becomes depleted of oxygen and nutrients that are important to skin health. It damages collagen and elastin which are fibers that give your skin strength and elasticity which contributes to wrinkles. The best way to protect your skin is to not smoke.

Healthy Diet

Just like hair and nails your diet contributes to the health of your skin. Eating plenty of fruits, veggies, grains, and lean proteins are best. Drinking plenty of water helps to keep skin hydrated.

Manage stess

Stress can cause your skin to be more sensitive and trigger acne breakouts and other skin problems.  Be sure to get enough sleep and do things that make you happy. Healthy State of Mind = Healthy skin
