“Being a woman means never taking a day off from looking great.” This refrain is familiar to many women and one that they try adhering to in their daily lives because clear skin can be a sign of good overall health. However, in addition to looking good for others, having radiant looking skin can increase a person’s own self esteem. With that in mind, let us take a look at 6 of the simplest but most effective tips dermatologists recommend for women to help them achieve clear, healthy-looking skin.
The first step to clearer facial skin is making sure it is clean. If any contaminants are allowed to accumulate on the face, it could block pores and cause acne. However, facial skin products should offer a gentle clean that does not cause dryness, while also being free from substances that can cause irritation, such as perfumes.
Scrubs should be used no more than once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the production of new ones to take their place. Be sure only to buy products that are gentle to the skin, such as skin scrub creams containing small beads that will not block pores. Alternately, some may prefer a cream containing low concentrations of fruit acids as these are suitable for application before bed once or twice a week in place of a scrub.
When aiming for clearer skin, one thing a woman cannot overlook is the importance of selecting the right skincare products. To achieve this, look out for products containing vitamin C (Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, Ascorbyl Glucoside), vitamin B-3 (Niacinamide), and other related ingredients that offer benefits to the skin (Arbutin,Kojic Acid, Thiamidol, Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine, L-Glutathione, Resorcinol, Deoxyarbutin, Licorice Extract, Resveratrol, Tranexamic Acid). In addition to considering its ingredients, women selecting a skin cream should also pay attention to its application onto the skin or the consistency of its use if they want to achieve healthy-looking skin.
The heat of the sun in Thailand combined with the high UV Index rating means that products with an SPF rating of more than 30 and a PA score of 3+ or more should be applied to the face and skin each time that person is going outside as this will provide long-term benefits to the health of their skin.
Healthy lifestyles start with staying hydrated. This means drinking between 6–8 glasses of clear water per day. A healthy lifestyle also includes eating a variety of fruits and vegetables that contain antioxidants, sleeping at a sensible time (before midnight), and exercising for at least 30 minutes per day. Doing these things will help maintain a hormonal balance, which will go a long way to repairing any damaged skin and leaving you feeling great.
One last way in which women who have little free time can achieve healthier looking skin is a laser skin treatment program. There are currently many of such programs to choose from. These treatments not only provide care for the skin to leave it looking clearer and more radiant than ever, but also reduce time spent using whitening products. Alternatively, laser treatments can be used alongside skincare techniques to achieve a healthier complexion. Examples of such treatments are as follows:
Achieving healthier, clearer skin is not as difficult as you may have thought and does not require you to purchase expensive products for home use. It just takes some discipline and expertise in selecting the right products for your skin alongside leading a healthy lifestyle to nourish your body from the inside out.
