How’s your Skin’s Health? What’s your skin regimen?
If your answer to that question is, “what’s a regimen?” We need to talk.
Are you tired of your skin starting to look its age? This is a perfect example why we should we take care of our skin. Because all of us are bothered by signs of aging whether its fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, uneven skin tone and texture, sagging skin or acne/acne scarring.
Taking care of your skin is SO important, we cannot emphasize this enough with patients. What you put ON your body is as important as what you put IN your body! Substances that affect your overall health and wellbeing donโt simply work their way through your system by traveling the gut alone. They also travel through the skin. Be mindful of the products you use!
It’s time to restore your skin health, but how?
Skin Health starts with a proper skin care regimen!
A wrinkle is a wound on a skin, so technically a medically necessary treatment plan needs to be formulated to address that. Most of us do not like to see the signs of aging on our facesย ๐ผ
Simple skin regimen can go a very, very long way to maintain skin health and help reverse signs of premature aging.

WHAT EVEN IS COLLAGEN?
Collagen is 70% of the proteins found in your skin that helps keep skin plump and resilient, youthful and wrinkle free. Collagen is the main structural protein found in our skin, its what makes our skin look tight and youthful. As we age the production of collagen slows down causing skin to sag. Lets face it, NO ONE looks forward to that!
How do we start our skin regimen?
First, Getting Skin Ready:
CLEANSE: with a proper cleanser designed to address your skin. Whatever you do NEVER, EVER, EVER wash your face with soap. Do not use grocery store brands, either. Most, if not all of them are laden with TOXIC CHEMICALS, which will harm you systemically. Consult a doctor to help you with creating a unique skin care regimen.
EXFOLIATE: use a gentle exfoliant to smooth skin and slough- away skin-clogging skin cells.
TONE: balances pH in the skin, replenishes hydration, minimizes oil and tightens pores.
PREVENT + CORRECT:
This step addresses skinโs needs – whether its to help moisturize, acne control, plumping, anti-aging, laxity, dullness, hyperpigmentation, or tone correction etc. DO NOT FORGET YOUR NECK. Nobody likes a Turkey Neck
PROTECT:
ONE WORD – SPF.
EYE CREAM:
Our crows feet wrinkles really give away our age. Most women miss this part of their daily ritual.
Simple Lifestyle Changes you should start paying attention to NOW:
WATER INTAKE
Water is another VERY important factor when it comes to skin health. Did you know? Chronic dehydration leads to premature aging and wrinkles. The easiest and cheapest way to help your body inside and out is to DRINK YOUR WATER. Your blood is 90% water. The inside of all of your cells – is primarily WATER. Your kidney health depends primarily on how much water you drink. Water aids in detoxification process of getting rid of toxins in your body- sweating. In fact, the skin is your largest detoxification organ in a body.
SKIN HEALTH = WATER INTAKE
How much water? At least 96oz a day. More if you drink coffee and alcohol, both act as dehydrating agents. Not only will your skin look better, but you will also feel better and more energetic, your whole body will thank you majorly. What’s the easiest way to get 96 oz in a day? I recommend getting a 32 oz water bottle and making sure you drink 3 of them a day or more. Bored with water only? Add a slice of lemon, drop in a mint leaf, or a cucumber.
NUTRITION
Nutrition is another HUGE role in Skin Health, diet surprisingly has a lot to do with skin health. Have you ever noticed if you splurge one weekend you break out? There’s definitely something to the notion that beauty begins on the inside. If you’re not eating right, your skin is the first to show it. If you want a clear, radiant complexion, shiny hair, and strong nails, you have to start with what you’re putting into your body. Clean ingredients are guaranteed to help step up your beauty game.
With all these factors addressed, Skin Health is not an overnight fix, Skin Health is a process and takes TIME and hard work. Wiping your makeup off with a makeup wipe is not giving your face the time and effort it needs. There’d no miracle product that will solve all your skin problems. BUT with a proper skin regimen, enough water, clean ingredients, time AND effort. It WILL show, and YOU can achieve the SKIN GLOW everyone’s talking about.
