Youthful skin has a “glow from within” quality. The good news is that you do not have to be under 20 to enjoy this luminosity. In this blog post, we share three essential steps to follow in order to maintain a glowing complexion (and they don’t include a highlighter).
Exfoliate regularly.
As the cell renewal process progressively slows down, a buildup of dead skin cells results in dull looking skin that does not reflect light. By polishing away this dead skin, smooth and fresh skin cells are revealed, and the skin is instantly brighter. For the most effective results, we recommend a medical-grade exfoliant like SkinMedica GlyPro Exfoliating cleanser that combines physical and chemical exfoliating agents for optimal brightening results.
Use a brightening serum every day.
The key to maintaining an even and bright complexion is consistent use of a brightening serum. These formulations contain high concentrations of ingredients that disrupt the development of brown spots. By using a brightening serum every day underneath your moisturizer, existing brown spots begin to fade and the overall clarity of the skin tone is improved. The Lytera Skin Brightening Complex from SkinMedica is an award-winning staple that we recommend at the clinic.
Schedule regular IPL photorejuvenation sessions.
This technology has years of research to demonstrate its incredible skin benefits. IPL Photorejuvenation has long been celebrated for its skin brightening results, and now, research shows that it can delay the aging process by correcting the gene expression of damaged cells. Redness, brown spots and leathery sun damaged skin can all be turned around with a series of IPL treatments. As well, bi-annual treatments can maintain a healthy and youthful glow for years to come. Another perk to photorejuvenation is that it is quite comfortable, requiring no topical anaesthetic, and the recovery is rapid- revealing beautiful, fresh skin in just a few days.
As you can see, it doesn’t require significant effort or cost to achieve radiant skin: just a simple commitment to a few daily elements in your skincare routine and, for brighter than bright skin, the investment in IPL photorejuvenation.
