- STAY HYDRATED: Hydrated skin is able to function at its full potential, so be sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day. *Aim for at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day (the 8 x 8 rule) to keep skin hydrated from the inside out.
- CLEANSE GENTLY: Use a mild cleanser to remove impurities and to avoid stripping the skin of essential water and natural oils. *Use lukewarm water to avoid irritation.
- MOISTURIZE REGULARLY: Moisturizer is crucial for skin health because it helps maintain the skin's hydration levels. It also creates a barrier that helps prevent water loss, keeping the skin smooth and supple. *Apply serums or moisturizers to damp skin to help boost the absorption of ingredient actives.
- GENTLE EXFOLIATION: Once or twice a week use a gentle, non-abrasive exfoliator to remove dead skin cells and refresh your skin for a healthy glow.
- SUN PROTECTION: Apply a moisturizer with broad-spectrum SPF protection to help keep your skin hydrated and protected from the sun's harmful UV rays.
- VISIT YOUR DERM: Get annual skin checks with your dermatologist to make sure your skin is healthy.
- BALANCED DIET: Eat a balanced diet that inlcudes plenty of fruits and vegetables to give your skin the nutrients it needs to stay hydrated and healthy. *Consume salty foods, caffeine and alcohol in moderation.
- ADEQUATE SLEEP: Ensure you get plenty of sleep each night to support skin regeneration and repair.
