How to Reach Your 2022 Skin Goals
New year, same skin – or is it? This year, make a point to improve your skin so it looks newer than it did in 2021! We're here to help you reach your skin goals with these tips.
Switch up your showering habits
While soaking in a hot shower is tempting, especially in these colder months, it can actually be damaging to your skin. Hot showers can dry out and irritate the skin, preventing the skin cells from locking in moisture.
- When getting out of the shower, don’t dry your face completely off with a face towel. Leave some moisture on your skin before applying your moisturizer to seal in the hydration and enhance the benefits.
Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!
During the colder winter months, you’ll want to invest in a richer moisturizer, colder weather can deplete the skin of its natural oils. A thick, creamy moisturizer will protect the skin barrier more efficiently than a thinner one better suited for the warmer months.
- Our favorite winter facial moisturizers available at Pure Dermatology include SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore, Senté Dermal Repair Ultra Nourish, and EltaMD PM.
- Our favorite body moisturizers include FixMySkin and EltaMD products.
Exfoliate your skin at least twice a week
Exfoliation is key and a very important step in all skincare regimes to keep skin glowing and unclog pores. Use 2-4 times per week in combination with moisturizers to prevent over drying.
- Try Senté Exfoliating Cleanser and Senté Bio Complete Serum (retinol), SkinCeuticals Glycolic 10, Avène Retinal, or prescription Tretinoin
Lather on the sunscreen
Wear it year round to protect your skin. The majority of skin aging is caused from sun exposure, which makes sun protection crucial.
