Starting a skin care routine can have many benefits for your complexion. Whether you are interested in combating the effects of aging or looking to prevent sun damage, a skin care routine can help you maintain healthy skin that looks and feels great.

To learn more about how you can start improving the appearance of your facial skin, consider contacting a Farmington Hills medical spa. Below, you will find ways skin care routines can improve the tone and texture of your skin.



Reduce Fine Lines and Wrinkles

If you are interested in starting a skin care routine today, there are many things you can do to get started. The first thing you should know is that consulting with skin care professional will maximize your results.

Many dermatologists agree that the luxury and generic brands of anti-aging creams share many of the same active ingredients. For this reason, it’s important to check the labels for ingredients such as retinyl propionate (retinol), peptides, and sirtuin. You may be able to save a lot of money by purchasing generic products with the active ingredients you need. For more long-lasting anti-aging solutions, you can always consult with a medical spa experienced with anti-aging skin treatments such as Botox injections.

Prevent Sun Damage

If you spend a lot of time outdoors, you may eventually notice the toll that it takes on your skin. UV rays can increase the likelihood of premature aging through fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, or hyperpigmentation. To prevent sun damage to skin, we recommend using sunscreen diligently. You can even purchase skin lotions with SPF protection.  If you have to be outside for long periods of time, consider also wearing a wide brimmed hat and protective clothing

If you like to suntan outside or use tanning beds, you may want to consider the long-term aging effects. If you still want your skin to have that glow that only summertime sunshine can provide, we recommend using a lightly tinted skin cream that suits your complexion. Spray tans are also an option.

If you already have skin damage, you may want to consider Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment from an experienced medical spa.

Reduce Appearance of Acne

Adult acne can be a difficult issue to resolve. However, some people find relief by slighting changing their diet to include more vegetables and fruits. Changing your diet can help you get more nutrients and vitamins through foods that promote good skin health.

Be careful not to overdo your acne skin care routine. Many over-the-counter acne treatments have a drying effect on the skin, which can result in peeling facial skin. Using more than one type of acne treatment can also cause redness, skin irritation, or excess drying.
