At Premiere Centers for Health and Wellness in Cincinnati, OH, we understand that having great skin isn’t only about getting treatments every once in a while: it’s about building a routine to support your skin every day. That’s why we offer SkinMedica products, a range of clinically tested, physician-recommended skincare that can make sure that you always look and feel your best.
How Can SkinMedica Products Enhance Your Skincare Routine?
Essentially, this product line can enhance your skincare routine because the products actually work. So many of the products available in stores today claim to be pro skin-health, anti-aging, and anti-wrinkle but fail to deliver when it comes down to actually seeing the results. Unlike many other skincare lines, SkinMedica products guarantee pharmaceutical-grade ingredients and deliver tried and tested results.
SkinMedica offers a comprehensive range of skincare products targeting various skin concerns, including aging, acne, hyperpigmentation, dryness, and sun damage. Consistent use of these products can help maintain skin health, prevent signs of aging, and protect against environmental damage for a youthful and radiant complexion. Whether you’re looking to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, even out skin tone, or hydrate and rejuvenate the skin, there’s a SkinMedica product to suit your needs.
What Should I Include in My Skincare Routine?
Supporting your skincare routine involves adopting habits and practices that complement your skincare products and promote skin health. Though skin types differ, there are some elements that should be part of every skincare routine. Here are some tips to help you support your skincare routine effectively:
Consistency
Consistently follow your skincare routine morning and night. Even the best skincare products are not magical: they work through being used regularly. Set a routine and stick to it to maximize the effectiveness of your skincare products and support your skin health.
Gentle Cleansing
Use a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type to remove dirt, oil, and impurities without disrupting the skin’s natural protective barrier. Those with oily or acne-prone skin may appreciate the thorough action of the Purifying Foaming Cleanser, and those with normal or sensitive skin should use the general-purpose Facial Cleanser for best results.
Exfoliation
Gone are the days when we thought it was a good idea to scrub our faces with ground almond shells! Exfoliation is now a much gentler and much more effective process, often using chemical exfoliants, which are natural acids that help to remove the dead cells from the top layer of your skin.
You should incorporate exfoliation into your routine 1-3 times per week to remove dead skin cells and reveal smoother, brighter skin. You may wish to swap out your regular cleanser for the dual-action AHA BHA Exfoliating cleanser, or stick with the same cleanser and use the AHA/BHA cream after you have cleansed and toned your skin.
Hydration
Hydrate your skin with a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer suitable for your skin type. Moisturizing helps maintain skin hydration, prevents moisture loss, and supports the skin’s natural barrier function. The HA Rejuvenating Hydrator contains hyaluronic acid, which draws moisture into the skin and makes the skin look dewy and refreshed. For those with drier skin, a richer moisturizer like the Dermal Repair Cream is a great option to keep your skin looking perfectly hydrated.
Sun Protection
To stay looking young and beautiful, be sure to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every morning, even on cloudy days. Sunscreen protects your skin from harmful UV rays, prevents premature aging, and reduces the risk of skin cancer. SkinMedica has a range of mineral and chemical sunscreens so that you can find a sun protection product that works for you. For getting ready in a rush, we love the Total Defense and Repair SPF 34 (Tinted).
Targeted Treatments
Incorporate targeted treatments such as serums, ampoules, or spot treatments to address specific skincare concerns, such as fine lines, hyperpigmentation, acne, or dehydration. This range of products has solutions to all skin concerns, ranging from the Even & Correct Dark Spot Cream to the Scar Recovery Gel with Centelline.
Eye Care
Use an eye cream, such as the Instant Bright Eye Cream, formulated to address concerns such as dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines around the delicate eye area. We recommend that you apply eye products gently and use your ring finger to avoid tugging on the delicate skin.
Healthy Lifestyle Habits
Healthy skin is not only about the products that you put on it. You can also support your skincare routine with a healthy lifestyle. Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids, stay hydrated, get regular exercise, manage stress, and prioritize sleep for overall skin health.
What Aspects of a Healthy Lifestyle Support Skin Health?
Supporting a skincare routine with a healthy lifestyle involves adopting habits and practices that promote overall well-being and contribute to skin health from the inside out. Here’s how you can integrate a healthy lifestyle with your skincare routine:
Nutritious Diet
Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats. Nutrient-dense foods provide essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids that nourish the skin from within, promoting a clear, radiant complexion.
Hydration
Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated. Hydration is crucial for maintaining skin moisture, elasticity, and a healthy glow. Aim to drink at least 8 glasses of water daily, and limit the consumption of dehydrating beverages like alcohol and caffeine.
Regular Exercise
Incorporate regular physical activity into your routine to improve circulation, reduce stress, and promote overall health. Exercise increases blood flow to the skin, delivering oxygen and nutrients while removing toxins, resulting in a clearer, more vibrant complexion.
Stress Management
Practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, yoga, or spending time in nature. Chronic stress can trigger skin issues like acne, eczema, and premature aging, so finding healthy ways to manage stress is essential for maintaining skin health.
Glow From Within
With a consistent routine, you can ensure that your skin glows with good health.
