Skincare Pro Tips

Following a consistent skincare routine is a must but nothing does wonders for the skin like adapting a healthy and happy lifestyle. These tips will help your skin reach its full potential.

PATIENCE IS KEY

Since acne and skin issues take at least 8 weeks to mature, you should use a treatment for a minimum of 2-3 months before deciding if the treatment is effective.

PREVENT BATHS & SHOWERS FROM DEHYDRATING SKIN

Closing the bathroom door when bathing, limiting time in shower or bath to 5-10 minutes, using warm water rather than hot water and blotting your skin gently with a towel will all help to retain moisture and prevent dry skin.

EXERCISE

Not only does it improve your overall health and wellness but a good workout also delivers oxygen and essential nutrients to your skin.

HYDRATE FROM THE INSIDE OUT

Drinking 6-8 glasses of water each day and eating water rich foods such as grapefruit, watermelon, tomatoes, celery, broccoli and bell peppers can help to keep skin hydrated.

USE SUNSCREEN DAILY

Dermatologists recommend using a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, which blocks 97% of the sun’s UVB rays. Sunscreen will help to protect skin from sunburn and early skin aging.

LIMIT STRESS

Stress can produce more cortisol in the body which will, in turn, increase the skin’s oil production. Relaxing, meditating or just taking time for yourself to do something you enjoy can help to limit stress levels.

USE A JADE FACE ROLLER

Face rollers can help treat wrinkles, tighten skin by improving elasticity, minimize pores and reduce puffiness.
