Aside from eating whatever we want without ever gaining weight, what does every one of us dream of? No not prince charming, let’s be realistic. We all dream of perfect flawless skin. Yes, that’s the unattainable dream that fairytales are made of.
So what if we had something to help along that journey? Like let’s say we could attract what we desire, we would do it right?
We’re not talking about expensive procedures and endless spa treatments! We’re talking about dermatology secrets that Dr. Costi has prepared for us to get the flawless skin that we all want and deserve.
Let’s check out 7 habits for a heathy glowing complexion.
1. Sleep
Can’t repeat this enough, but beauty sleep is real. If you want to have fresh rosy skin you have to rest at least 7 hours per night. Aside from the hyper-anger and the raccoon-eyes, lack of sleep will wreak havoc on your skin. So turn off the Netflix and hug your pillow.
2. Sunscreen
By now, you’re sick of us telling you to use sunscreen. But are even using it? Are you?! Protecting your skin from the visible signs of aging is the 1 big advantage that you get to do only once! So do it properly before you get freckles (hyperpigmentation), wrinkles and God forbid skin cancer.
Use a broad spectrum UVA and UVB sunblock that must be reapplied every 2 hours all year round.
3. No extra sugar
Fashion bloggers have been onto this for a while: it has been proven that sugar breaks down skin’s collagen through a process of glycosylation therefore leading to early aging of the face. Yikes!
No thank you No sugar for us! We’ll stick to healthy fats (avocado, salmon), antioxidants (greens) and Vitamin C (berries and citrus fruits).
4. Sweat
Working out gets you that flush in your cheeks, and it actually contributes to reversing your body’s biological clock. So make sure you’re sweating at least 30 minutes per day and you will look like a much younger person.
Anyone know a good gym?
5. Moisturize
Serious moisture PRO level: there’s no joking with this. Keeping your face moisturized means keeping the water trapped inside you skin, strengthening your skin barrier. Especially for those with sensitive skin, don’t skimp on using products even in summer. Get familiar with your own skin type and learn to adjust your moisturizing routine depending on the weather and humidity.
Morning and night, you clean your face and you apply all kinds of nice soft creams and serums. Got it?
6. No smoking
Truly gladly have to tell you that smoking really affects your skin, so here’s another reason for you to quit. Face lines around the mouth, dark circles around the eyes, as well as stained teeth and fingers… should we go on?
7. Consistency
When you know what works for you and you have a good skin regimen in place, don’t keep changing it. Don’t try every new product out there, don’t do what everyone else is doing.
People with flawless skin will spend their money on quality products that have been tested and proven to help their perfect ageless complexion.
In case you’re looking to up your skincare, we recommend you book your private consultation with Dr. Costi and avoid the endless list of confusing products on the market. Keep it professional and get professional help for your skin, because you deserve it.
In the end do you think that perfect skin is achievable? Without makeup? Without photo filters? We think your face is prettiest the moment you wake up feeling good about yourself. You’re pretty as long as you love yourself, so help yourself with some healthy skin habits.
Good morning, good afternoon and good night pretty you!
