Expert tips for glowing skin during the fall!
Glowing skin is a goal for everyone. During the summer, glowing skin is a lot easier to achieve, but as the weather cools down our skin seems to transition to become more dry and dull. At Images Med Spa our Aestheticians have years of experience trying, testing and recommending the best tricks and tips to help the skin look healthy and awake. With the best medical-grade products and top-notch equipment we can promise you lifelong results. But before diving in, let’s discuss common set-backs and ways to overcome dull and poor skin health.
Lifestyle Factors Affecting Your Skin
When it comes to beautiful skin, lifestyle choices always come into play. A poor lifestyle may include consistently eating processed foods, lack of exercise, and not getting enough sleep. These behaviors can contribute to skin flare-ups and inflammation. We always say balance is key. You should not only want to look your best but also feel your best! Here are some tips to boost your skin and health.
CONSIDER WHOLE FOODS
A diet that consists of mainly whole foods will contain more nutrients, minerals and amino acids. These sorts of foods can build a strong foundation for your skin, mind, and body. Whatever you decide to feed your body is all processed inside your gut and it eventually shows on your skin. No skincare routine can combat a bad diet. You’re learning more about the trend #GutHealth which bottom line means you’ll achieve a healthy gut by feeding your body with clean foods t. Whole foods include fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats. All of these macronutrients contain natural antioxidants and omega-3.
EXERCISE TO IMPROVE MIND & BODY
Life can get busy and there may not always be time to hit the gym for a good sweat sesh. But there’s always time to move your body. Finding time in your schedule to get a walk in is not only good for you physically but it is also good for your mental health. Elevating your heart rate can improve blood circulation, promote collagen production, and this also encourages nutrients delivered to the skin. But getting fresh air will allow your skin to soak in all the vitamin D.
SLEEP
Who doesn’t love getting into bed after a long day of work? Your sleep routine and quality of sleep can improve your overall mood and quality of life. We often experience it ourselves but the distractions such as the TV or social media can have you sucked in for hours longer than you intended. Setting a routine where you give yourself at least an hour to wind down before bed will improve the amount of sleep you get and quality. Say goodbye to those dark circles!
Skincare Routine for Glowing Skin
Did you know products should always be applied thickest to thin? This will allow the products to absorb deeper into your skin and provide the best results.
Your skincare routine is everything. If you are using products that aren’t suitable for your skin type you could be causing more bad than good.
