The skin is the body’s largest organ, and it does a remarkable job of protecting our body’s internal structures and keeping us safe by making us aware of pain, pressure, and temperature changes. Over time, however, aging, stress, and environmental conditions can do a number on our skin’s appearance.

Skincare Routines You Should Embrace This Spring Season

Like stress and aging, cold and dry weather can adversely affect the appearance of our skin. Spring is the perfect time of the year to implement skincare treatments that can improve the health and look of our skin– several treatments can help us do just that.

Hydration

Cleansers, lightweight serums, moisturizers, and other medical-grade skincare products do an excellent job when it comes to keeping skin hydrated and appearing more youthful. Dr. David Baird, a board-certified dermatologist with Farmington Dermatologists in Farmington, Michigan, can help patients find the ideal skincare for their unique concerns. Drinking plenty of water and using these products regularly can go a long way toward helping you achieve healthy, radiant skin this spring.

Exfoliation

Exfoliating your skin 1 to 3 times per week is something else you can do to keep your skin healthy and looking its best. When dead skin cells accumulate, they can block pores and make skin look dull. Skincare products containing glycolic or lactic acid are safe and effective chemical exfoliants and cosmetic treatments like chemical peels offer significant exfoliating benefits.

Sunscreen

Applying sunscreen before going outside is a great way to protect your skin against the sun’s harmful UV rays, which are notorious for causing premature aging and increasing the risk of skin cancer. For these reasons alone, sunscreen should be part of your skincare routine this spring. Sunscreens with an SPF of at least 30 provide the best protection for your skin–natural sunscreens that contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are also good.

Additional Ways To Achieve and Maintain Beautiful Skin This Spring

There are a few additional things you can do to achieve healthy, radiant-looking skin and improve your overall health at the same time. Along with drinking at least eight 8-oz glasses of water daily, they include exercising regularly and getting a minimum of 7 to 9 hours of deep, restorative sleep each night.

However, home remedies are only a gradual route to eventual rejuvenation– if you are seeking faster, more significant solutions, cosmetic procedures, and plastic surgery may  instantaneously boost your appearance and confidence. Whether you’re seeking an impactful acne remedy, anti-aging solutions, or color corrections, Baird MD has a variety of solutions available.

Where to Find Trustworthy Transformations

In addition to tidying up your home and completing other tasks you might have been putting off, spring is also an opportune time to give your skin all the tender loving care it deserves.
