Everyone wants beautifully healthy, supple skin. But, over time, laugh lines and crows’ feet begin to appear. We can blame Mother Nature and Father Time, or we can find ways to improve our complexion. Wrinkles are not necessarily bad, but they show our age. Here are a few ways to reduce wrinkles and boost your self-confidence.
Laser Skin Treatments
A fresh clean complexion is possible with the right treatment. Using
laser skin treatments is not for everyone, but it is an effective way to remove scars, wrinkles, veins, or redness. There are 4 types of treatments. A consultation from a certified skin specialist will help you decide what option is best for you. There is intensive pulse light that uses laser light to polish and brighten the skin. CO2 Dot treatment is another laser skin resurfacing treatment that will help to tighten the skin. Also, Pixel Perfect laser treatments can remove brown spots or freckles that could be cancerous.
Wrinkle Creams
There are many over-the-counter creams and lotions that can help fight the signs of aging. The best advice is to read the labels carefully. Check with your doctor to make sure you are not allergic to wrinkle fighting chemicals. Specific brands may only focus on certain areas of the face or body. The eye area may need a retinol or collagen base serum to firm the skin from the inside out. Other ointments or salves help to hydrate and brighten the skin giving it a clean and healthy look.
Spa Facials
Regular visits to a medical spa can do wonders for your skin. Rejuvenation is the main focus. Facial peels and massages will clean your skin and help it to breathe. Not only can you improve the look and feel of your face, but also your whole body with mud baths or skin tightening wraps. There is a larger price tag that comes with a spa treatment but it can also help you to relax and reduces stress.
Better Protection
The sun is very powerful even on a partly clouding day. Begin the day by applying a good quality sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher, and reapply if you’re outside for more than an hour. Everyone should be wearing a protective lotion before going outside. Moisturizers should have sunscreen in them and makeup now includes a level of protection against harmful UV rays. The sun, wind, smoke or other environmental substances in the air can damage the skin quickly. Sunscreen reduces that damage and shields your skin.
Vitamins and Natural Foods
You can improve your skin by improving your diet. Take a supplement like L-lysine, which is an amino acid that protects the lips and face. Pay attention to what you’re eating too. Some foods, in large quantities, are simply not good for your skin. Eat more almonds, salmon, yogurt, and blueberries. Eat less white bread, candy, salt, and alcohol. A good exercise routine and drinking plenty of water can help to keep your skin healthy too.
