Tips for Maintaining a Radiant Complexion
At our medical spa in Denver, one of the most common questions is maintaining a radiant complexion between treatments. If you want to give your skin a boost and keep it looking great year-round, we have some tips for you. Here, we discuss our top recommendations to keep your skin looking and feeling its best:
Stick With a Skincare Routine
A skincare regimen you’re consistent with is the bedrock of healthy skin. While a spa treatment will give you a healthy glow, you can’t maintain those results without caring for your skin at home. For best results, create a routine that consists of the basics:
A quality cleanser for morning and evening use.
Sun protection (preferably SPF 30 or above).
A moisturizer that’s suited to your needs.
A chemical or physical exfoliant for occasional use.
Serums. We love serums that are rich in skin-loving hyaluronic acid.
Stay Hydrated
Staying hydrated is important for all aspects of health. Drinking enough water throughout the day can boost brain function, energy levels, and skin elasticity. Even mild dehydration can negatively impact your skin, so keep a water bottle with you to sip on during the day. In general, active adults should drink two to three liters of water daily.
Exercise Regularly
Did you know that exercise can give you a natural glow? It’s true! Staying active is great for your heart, bones, and joints and also beneficial for your skin. When you get your heart pumping during an intense workout, the increased circulation delivers oxygen and nutrients to cells. When you exercise regularly, you’ll enhance your body’s natural ability to repair and replace cells. A word to the wise, though–although sweating is great for your body, it can clog pores and lead to breakouts if you’re not careful. Be sure to thoroughly cleanse your skin after a workout to clear your pores.
Work With an Experienced Esthetician
Even if you’re sticking to your skincare routine, drinking plenty of water, and exercising often, seeing an esthetician for treatments can take your skin to the next level. At Vive, our estheticians start with a consultation to get to know you and your skin. Our skin analysis machine allows our team members to see beneath the skin’s surface to identify areas of concern that may not be visible to the naked eye. With your goals in mind, they can create a customized treatment plan to help you achieve your ideal skin.
At our medical spa in Denver, we love nothing more than helping clients love the skin they’re in. If you’re ready to enjoy a glowing, healthy complexion, we’re here to help! Whether you’re interested in custom facials, intense pulsed light (IPL), fillers, or injectable neurotoxins, our experienced estheticians can deliver the desired results.
