Breaking Down the Components of Good Skin Care
Posted on May 12, 2017 3:51pm PDT

Every day, your skin is exposed to the damaging effects of sunlight, pollution,
and stress. Over time, age and gravity can take its toll on your appearance
and the health of your skin. With a good skin care routine and a little
help from your skin care specialist, you can fight these undesirable effects
to continue to look as young as you feel. Consider visiting EpiCentre
to find out which
skin care products would be most effective for you.
Cleansing
Cleansing your face properly isn’t quite as simple as splashing some
water on it and rubbing some soap around. First, wash your hands to avoid
transferring additional bacteria and grime to your face. Moisten your
face with lukewarm water to encourage the pores to open up. Avoid very
hot water, as this will dry out your skin. Likewise, avoid soap-based
cleansers, since they strip away the
natural oils of the skin and dry it out. Instead, choose from the cleanser selection at your medical
spa, such as ZO Skin Health, SkinCeuticals, SkinMedica and Eraclea. Massage
the cleanser gently into your skin using circular motions. Rinse your
skin well with cool water to close the pores. Pat your skin dry with a
soft towel.
Moisturizing
Moisturizing your skin is crucial for preserving its health, vitality,
and youthful appearance. Choose a non-comedogenic moisturizer recommended
by your skin care specialist. These won’t clog your pores. Your
skin care specialist may recommend specific moisturizers for your skin
care concerns, such as products with anti-aging ingredients.
Protecting
Before you leave home each day, take the time to protect your skin from
the harmful effects of the sun. Dermatologists strongly recommend applying
a skin-friendly sunscreen that has an SPF of at least 30. Using sunscreen
every day will dramatically reduce your risk of skin cancer, not to mention
its benefits for delaying wrinkle formation and preventing areas of hyperpigmentation.
