With the beginning of a new year comes hope for a fresh start! Whether you have vowed to put that new gym membership to good use, spend 30 minutes outside everyday, eat healthier, or focus on better skin, prioritizing yourself should be #1 on your new year’s resolution list. We’re here to talk about 5 resolutions to stick to that focus on better skin. Cheers to prioritizing ourselves!
#1: Practice living an overall healthier lifestyle!
Healthy skin starts from within! Skin is our body’s largest organ which protects us from our environment and is the home of our internal organs. Taking care of our body and skin by staying active, hydrated and feeding our body with the right nutrients can help improve your skin’s overall health. Once we focus on our overall health, we can start focusing on the products and treatments we use on the outside!
#2: Keep your skincare simple
Like all things in life, quality over quantity matters! Keeping your skincare simple with the right products can be more effective than having an unnecessary 50-step daily skincare routine! Discovering the best products for YOUR skin can help you reach your skincare goals much faster than following the latest trends on TikTok or copying what your favorite influencer or celebrity uses. The best place to start is understanding whether you have dry, oily, or combination skin and recognizing what your ultimate goal is. Schedule a complimentary skin consultation with our Licensed Master Esthetician, Savannah and Licensed Esthetician, Emma. They can help create the best treatment plan that works for your skin, lifestyle, and budget! Book here.
#3: Start focusing on anti-aging skincare
It’s never too early, or too late, to start an anti-aging skincare routine. With the right skincare products and treatments, you can help minimize signs of aging and prevent additional damage to the skin. The best place to start is by incorporating an SPF over 50 into your daily skincare routine! This not only helps protect the skin from the harmful UVB and UVA rays but also prevents future aging of the skin.
Looking to add some amazing anti-aging products to your routine? We’ve got your back (…and face.😉) Here’s a couple of our favorites!
-
- Brightening Pads: Our Brightening Pads contain key skin brightening ingredients Kojic Acid, Arbutin, and Bearberry that work alongside skin protective antioxidants such as Silymarin, Ascorbic Acid, Green Tea polyphenols, and Emblica to soothe the skin and help with redness.
- Glisten GF: One of our best-selling moisturizers, Glisten GF is a hydrating and anti-aging daily moisturizer that helps brighten and smooth skin texture while improving the appearance of any fine lines and wrinkles. Fortified with a plant based growth factor (GF), kinetin, that stimulates new cell growth, as well as niacinamide for hydration, anti-oxidants Vitamins C and E, and Ferulic acid ester that helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles and fights off free radicals.
- Enriched Retinol Eye Cream: This intense moisturizing eye cream helps hydrate the delicate skin around the eyes with ingredients such as niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and ceramides, while minimizing dark circles and puffiness with anti-oxidants such as Green Tea polyphenols and polypeptides.
- TNS Advanced+ Serum: An intensive treatment serum formulated with the most advanced Growth Factor technology (TNS-MR) that helps support skin rejuvenation by improving fine lines, wrinkles, and overall skin texture.
#4: Stay consistent
Consistency is key! You can’t go to the gym once a month expecting to make a major change in your overall health or see a difference in your body’s composition. The same principle of staying consistent can apply to your skincare routine! Committing yourself to a realistic routine that works with your skin can make the world of a difference to seeing progress.
We recommend starting everyday with a Vitamin C serum and moisturizer followed by an SPF. Take the day off with your favorite cleanser and follow with your favorite serum and moisturizer to seal in hydration! You can add a mask to your routine once or twice a week according to your skin’s needs as well as a chemical exfoliant to help unclog pores and improve texture. Want to take your skincare to the next level? Consider investing in professional treatments once a month such as facials, chemical peels, IPLs, Microneedling, and Diamond Glow treatments.
#5: Invest in professional skincare treatments
Like we mentioned previously, you can take your skincare to the next level by investing in professional skincare treatments! Treatments such as facials, chemical peels, IPLs, Microneedling, Morpheus8 RF Microneedling, and Diamond Glow can help treat fine lines and wrinkles, acne and acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, skin tightening, or give your skin an extra boost of hydration that we can’t usually do at home. Investing in professional skincare treatments can help target your specific skincare goals and your at-home skincare routine is the cherry on top for maintaining the longevity of your skincare results!
