Skincare comes in many forms and the key to success where a youthful and glowing complexion is concerned is to find the right combination of solutions for you and your particular skin type and particular skin concerns.

While your skin type is likely to remain relatively constant throughout your life (since it’s largely genetic), the skin concerns you’ll face can change over time, reflecting your lifestyle, general health and wellbeing, and your age.

Yes, following a well-balanced diet with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables and getting regular exercise can help keep you looking younger for longer, but we’re also very blessed these days to have many skincare options available to us, everything from dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxing injections to skin peel facial treatments.

The latter is a restorative procedure that can potentially help reduce the signs of ageing, with a chemical solution of some kind (there are various options to choose from) applied gently to the skin. This peels away any damaged skin cells and allows healthy skin to grow instead, with smoother texture and more even skin tone.

As well as helping ease concerns about fine lines and wrinkles, these peels can also be effective when treating acne and hyperpigmentation, both of which are also very common skin complaints.

These treatments can also be used alongside other facial aesthetic procedures, including fillers and anti-wrinkle injections, which is no doubt why they’re such a popular option for those looking to press pause on the ageing process.

After the peel, it’s important to look after your skin as it heals so make sure you use some kind of protective cream or ointment. Your clinician will be able to provide further advice on this. Sun cream is also important to help give your skin extra protection as it starts to heal. If you’d like to find out more, get in touch with us today.
