A clear, glowing complexion is the hallmark of youthful skin and one of the most attractive qualities a person can have. The path to achieving such beautiful skin isn’t as complicated as you may think. There are so many things you can do to keep your skin looking luminous. Read on as Dr. Mark Lowney shares his best tips for healthy, youthful-looking skin year-round.
WATCH YOUR DIET FOR MORE YOUTHFUL SKIN
Eating a balanced diet and staying hydrated transforms your skin from the inside out. Swap out packaged, processed foods in favor of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, and fish, all of which are essential to bright skin.
OPTIMIZE YOUR LIFESTYLE HABITS FOR MORE YOUTHFUL SKIN
Following healthy lifestyle habits can make a difference in the appearance of your complexion and lead to more youthful-looking skin. Stress and lack of sleep and exercise can result in dull, sallow skin. Make sure you get plenty of restful sleep, keep stress to a minimum, and exercise regularly for a glowing, radiant complexion.
TAKE OFF MAKEUP AND WASH YOUR FACE AT NIGHT
If you are serious about maintaining youthful skin, resist the urge to go to sleep without first taking off your makeup and washing your face with a gentle cleanser. Your skin needs a break from the makeup and contaminants that can accumulate during the day. Keep a package of make-up remover wipes on your nightstand as a last resort.
WEAR SUNSCREEN EVERY DAY
The sun can damage your skin even on a cloudy day or through a car window. Be diligent about applying sunscreen every day you go outdoors to protect yourself from sun damage and skin cancer. In addition to your face, protect your neck, hands, and décolletage, which are susceptible to sun damage.
SANITIZE YOUR PHONE
A smartphone is one of the biggest germs carriers we encounter on a daily basis, and touching or talking on the phone can transfer those germs to the face. Sanitize your phone regularly to keep your skin clear and healthy.
CONSIDER A SERIES OF PROFESSIONAL SKIN TREATMENTS
The best way to rejuvenate your complexion with radiant, youthful skin is with regular peels, facials, or other professional treatments. Professional facials, such as photo facials, can help minimize the appearance of wrinkles, discoloration, and sun damage, helping your skin look its best.
