Most of us are concerned about our skin’s appearance. Skincare is a multi-billion-dollar industry and, unfortunately, sometimes there’s conflicting advice about how to achieve the skin we want. Despite this, there are proven techniques that can keep our skin younger and healthier.

1. Begin a Skincare Regimen Today

You need to help your skin look its best regardless of your age. Start a skincare regimen today that focuses on moisturizing, cleansing and sun protection. Your skin can’t do it all by itself.  Come see one of our skin care professionals here at Skin by Lovely in Santa Monica

2. Sleep Well

Inadequate sleep shows up in our skin. Bags sprout up under our eyes and skin looks limp and washed out when we don’t get enough zzz’s. You can prevent this by going to bed and waking up at the same time each day, even on weekends. This will help your body set its circadian rhythm.

3. Hydrate

Most of us don’t drink enough water, and water is very vital to any skincare regimen. The water content that’s present in soda, coffee, alcohol and other diuretics does not count. What does count is plain, old H2O. Be sure to drink at least eight glasses of it everyday.

4. Manage Your Stress

Stress and anxiety can wreak havoc on your skin. They can create acne flare-ups and wrinkles due to constant frowning. Daily exercise is one of the best ways to deal with stress. Sweat can remove toxins from your skin, leaving a healthy glow in their place.

5. Eat Healthy FoodsChemicals from processed foods can make our skin look older and discolored. The healthier your diet, the healthier your skin will look. Make sure you consume enough protein, and be sure to take a daily multivitamin.

Follow these tips to keep your skin from revealing its true age to everyone. You will look and feel better…and you skin will thank you.
