How to achieve a brighter, younger complexion.
When it comes to your skin health, the basics count for a lot: drink a minimum of two litres of water a day, get eight hours of sleep a night, move your body each day, eat a balanced diet and be mindful of your alcohol consumption.
Further to these, adopting a tailored skin care approach to your individual skin type will help to address skin concerns to achieve a bright and healthy complexion. Look to incorporate products that contain hyaluronic acid (especially good for hydration) and vitamin C (especially good for brightening).
Last and certainly not least, SPF is so important to protect your skin. Sun damage can contribute to accelerated signs of ageing. Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world – SPF really is a non-negotiable.
Do not underestimate the power of hydration, sleep, movement and diet when it comes to skin health. Layered with a prescriptive skin care routine and SPF–there are simple routines you can incorporate into your lifestyle to protect, nourish and hydrate your skin.
What are the main causes of skin damage and are they reversible?
The most common factors of skin damage and inflammation include dehydration, sun damage and the incorrect use of skincare products. When we are looking at ways to heal, rituals and swaps such as prescriptive facials, prescriptive skin care swaps, at-home facial massages (gua sha) and the use of LED face masks may be considered and highly effective, when used correctly.
