Quick ways to brighten your skin
Winter is a good time to work on your skin that was damaged by the sun during the hot summer months. It’s now time to undo the damage and get the glow and brightness back. Here are some helpful tips:
- Use a good cleanser to get the dust, dirt and pollution particles off the skin, and open clogged pores.
- An exfoliator (a scrub or a light laser treatment like Clear and Brilliantl) can remove the outer layer of skin comprising dead cells, and the dullness from the skin.
- Special products like serums and moisturizers which ‘brighten the skin’ work by blocking pigment-producing enzymes.
- Topical antioxidant serums help to remove the damaging particles introduced by the UV radiation from the sun.
- Lack of moisture can make the skin look dull and highlight wrinkles. A good moisturizer applied twice a day can do wonders, making the skin brighter.
- An instant glow can be given to the skin, courtesy ‘glotions’, which combine the hydrating effects of a moisturizer with the radiance-boosting benefits of a highlighter.
- Consuming a balanced diet including antioxidant-rich foods would boost skin glow.
Meanwhile, a board certified dermatologist too can help greatly. They, like Dr. Amanda Lloyd offer the safest and most effective solutions for hyperpigmentation, sun damage, redness, brown spots and melasma. Professional laser therapy and a customized skin care regimen are a few treatments which can restore youthful brightness to the skin without the burden of high costs, side effects or too much time and discomfort.
Call Dr. Amanda Lloyd of Skin and Vein Institute of Encinitas CA at (760) 642-6674 if you too want to make your skin brighter.
