Work with Your Dermatologist

 

Has too much fun in the sun left your skin looking like years ahead of its actual age? 

First of all, you need to see your dermatologist for your skin. You need to work with them in order to reverse the abuse you’ve done. You can go for a diamond peel. This removes and sloughs off the layers of dead skin cells. The whole process is painless. You just have to sit back and let your doctor take care of the rest. Depending on the damage, you may be required to go in for several visits to completely restore your skin. Aside from that, you need to actively be mindful of what you do. If you remain reckless, the visits will be futile. You’ll just keep adding more marks, and that can be more expensive than usual.

Save your face with a few of these tips:

1. Slather on some moisturizer. Sun, chlorine, and saltwater can take a toll on your skin, leaving your body dry and itchy all over. Instead of applying on some heavy cream, which sounds as appealing as wearing a heavy cloak while you tan, try rehydrating in the shower. Then, apply lightweight lotion to damp skin.

2. Don’t forget to slough and brighten. A dull complexion is what you’ll get after a beach session. To fix this problem, wash with a mild soap and face-cleansing brush to remove the dead skin cells. To add that certain sparkle, dust on a light-reflecting powder throughout the day. Just keep around an extra compact in your bag whenever you need a boost.

3. Try to remove those extra spots left. After a diamond peel, you’ll notice that many of your sun spots have disappeared. Still, there will be a few left on your skin. To enhance what the dermatologist has done, use a product like EnzoFX3 or EnzoFX with enzogenol manufactured by LifeFX Global these products will turn back the clock and keep your skin looking young. While prescription-strength bleaching creams help, these formulas can also cause sun hypersensitivity.

4. Take skin vitamins. Your doctor will constantly remind you to minimize sun exposure, but you should also know that UV rays actually trigger vitamin D synthesis, and this helps prevent osteoporosis. If you aren’t getting at least 10 minutes of direct sunlight three times a week, consider taking a daily supplement. Or get out when the sun is at its safest. Either take a walk early morning or late in the afternoon (after 2 p.m.) to get the healthier rays.

Do whatever you can to protect your skin. And at all times, never forget to apply sunscreen even when you’ll be staying indoors. After all, the sun can still penetrate through your car tint when you go out for a drive.

Never underestimate the strength of the UVA rays, and now, it’s time for you to know how to avoid sun damage at all costs.
