What can I do to improve my skin?

Posted: February 24, 2015

Clinical skincare products like those offered at Bonakdar Aesthetics effectively rejuvenate, nourish and refresh your skin, but you can also promote healthy skin by doing the following:

• Protecting your skin from the sun: In addition to increasing your risk of skin cancer, repeated sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age spots and sagging skin. Use a daily SPF moisturizer, such as the MonBon Shade all Day SPF 30 moisturizer, to protect your skin from UV damage. You can also wear a wide-brimmed hat and seek shade between the hours of 10am and 2pm.
• Healthy eating: What you eat and drink can affect the health and appearance of your skin. Stay hydrated and eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean protein and whole grains.
• Caring for your skin: Avoid the use of harsh soaps and cleansers, which peel the essential oils from your skin and lead to dryness.
• Not smoking: Smoking reduces the flow of oxygen and nutrients to your skin, and damages the collagen in your skin, all of which makes your skin look old and tired, and eventually leads to sagging skin and wrinkles.
