STAY HYDRATED
The human body is roughly made up of about 50 to 65% water and we use up a lot of it in our sweat urine and saliva, so it is important to replace the lost fluids. we should aim to drink about 8 glasses of water every day!. The skin is the bodies biggest organ and requires plenty of care, water helps the skin by clearing the toxins that cause inflammation and blemishes. Water also assists with the transportation of nutrients and oxygen to the skin cells, this helps to prevent dehydration, which believe it or not can lead to premature ageing! If you are not really a fan of plain water why not try popping some ice cubes and a slice of lemon or lime to spice up your glass of water and give it some flavour, the lemon has the added benefit factor of vitamin C and can help aid digestion.

SMOTHER ON THE SUNSCREEN
Spending too much time in the sun unprotected can lead to premature ageing, sun spots and increase your risk of skin cancer so it is very important you invest in a good sunscreen with a minimum factor of 20 for the body and factor 50 for the face and neck, also watch out for the expiration date because the longer you have the sunscreen for the less effective it becomes over time. Did you know 90% of wrinkles are caused by sun exposure?!... so plaster on that sunscreen!!!. remember it is easier to prevent the effects of sun exposure than it is to fix and reverse them, so take heed dear readers and wear sunscreen!! we recommend the OBAGI medical sun shield SPF 50, it has a matte finish that is non-comedogenic. This product is suitable for all skin types.

INVEST IN SKIN CARE!!!

YES! its really that obvious, having high quality skin care products can really transform your skin, if your looking to produce more collagen look for a moisturizer or serum that contains antioxidants which is the skins main defence line against free radicals e.g. pollution , stress and pentapeptides. collagen is what keeps the skin looking firm. Look for a sheer formula where the small molecules can dive deep down into your pores. For best results, apply to freshly washed skin; follow with sunscreen or moisturizer to lock in hydration. We should also be exfoliating our skin regularly to help keep all the gunk out of our pores such as dead skin, oil and dirt.  To keep pores from getting bigger as you age, practice safe sun , rays from the sun breaks down the natural collagen in the face, which can affect pore size as well.

GET TO BED EARLY!!!!

 

Did you know sleep deprivation lowers the blood circulation, which is the reason why you look pale and washed out in the mornings. Bedtime is also the best time of day to rejuvenate the skin. The body's cellular renewal systems works while the body is asleep, so this is when you want to equip your skin with as many nutrients and hydrating ingredients as possible to ensure healthy glowing skin!

Winter has finally arrived! However, the harsh weather conditions can lead to some individuals to experience flaky, dry and irritated skin as a result. I have put together a few simple steps that you can follow to combat winter-induced dry skin . 1. Exfoliate When trying to avoid dry winter skin it is important to gently exfoliate the surface of the skin before applying an effective facial moisturiser. However, if skin is already irritated exfoliating should not be advised as this may irritate the skin further. The exfoliation process removes the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin which may be clogging up pores and making it hard for your skin to absorb follow up products such as serums and moisturisers. Laserlite Clinic offers the Obagi 360 exfoliating cleanser- The product contains chemical and physical exfoliates that gently remove dead cells on the surface of the skin which helps to promotes healthy skin cell growth whilst reducing the appearance of dry skin. Laserlite clinic also offers Microdermabrasion treatments a painless, non-invasive procedure where a combination of a fine abrasive tip and vacuum suction is applied on the skin, resulting in the removal of dead and damaged cells. 2. Moisturise Effectively When fighting dry skin during the winter months it is essential to ensure that you’re moisturising daily in order to lock in your skins natural moisture. Studies have shown that the harsh conditions during the winter months can stiffen your skin and make it more susceptible to infections and breakouts. Moisturising effectively is the major key in tacking dry skin during the winter. Laserlite clinic offers a variety of effective facial moisturisers such as the Obagi360 HydraFactor SPF. This formula is packed with antioxidants to protect you against the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. I t also contains essential hydrating ingredients that work effectively to combat dry skin during the winter season. Laserlite Clinic also offers Obagi HydrateR Moisturizer. This essential skin product is formulated to improve the overall softness of the skin and has been designed to be effective for a variety of different skin types. The naturally-derived ingredients present aids to provide long lasting smoothness. 3. Other Factors The things you feed your body also play a big part on the appearance of your skin. The harsher conditions will require you to replenish the moisture lost from your skin during the day. Hence ensure you stay hydrated constantly during the winter seasons. Health authorities’ advice that individuals should aim to drink around 2 litres of water a day- not only will this boost skin health and beauty it has a variety of other health benefits such as the maintenance of blood pressure and the lubrication of joints. There are many nutritional foods available that have a high water content such as cucumbers, tomatoes and citrus fruits.
