After you’ve gotten your skin care treatment or aesthetic procedure done at Phases Skin Care & Laser Center in Carmel, you may be wondering about the best skin care products for maintaining your results.
The importance of regular skin care
Keeping your skin in good condition is a matter of health as well as beauty. Your skin is your body’s first line of defense against diseases, and it’s important to maintain its barrier function.
Prevention is also easier than correction when it comes to most skin issues. While there are some signs of aging that are unavoidable, things like sun damage are easily avoided with proper care.
Regular skin care also reinforces your body’s natural processes. As we age, our skin is constantly shedding old cells and replacing them with new ones. A proper skin care routine will encourage your body to produce newer, younger looking cells.
Key components of an effective skin care routine
There are some things that should be included in every skin care regimen to foster healthy skin.
- Cleanser: Choose a cleanser that is designed for your skin type. If you have drier skin you want to avoid cleansers with alcohol, as that can increase dryness. If your skin is more oily, look for a cleanser that’s oil free.
- Growth Factors, Vitamins and Peptides: These can promote and stimulate the growth of collagen and elastin.
- Moisturizer: You should use a moisturizer every time you cleanse your face. Again, choose an oil-free product if you have oily skin.
- Sunscreen: It’s important to use a daily sunscreen, even on cloudy days, and even if your moisturizer has sun protection. Look for a broad spectrum SPF of at least 30.
