Your skin is the first thing that people notice about you and that is exactly why a proper skin care regimen is so important. There are many products that claim to help improve skin tone and promote a flawless complexion, but the truth is that there is no such thing as instant results. An effective skin care regimen is one that is done consistently over time before results will begin to develop. You can expect to see results anywhere between 1-45 days depending on the nature of the product or treatment, and this is why consistency and patience are crucial in developing a successful skincare regime that works for you.

Skin Care Tip 1: Always use some type of exfoliation product, which will help to remove old skin cells and other debris and particles from your skin. This will expose the healthy cells and rid your body from the old ones.

Skin Care Tip 2: If possible, avoid constant sun exposure and tanning beds. In addition to being dangerous where health is concerned, these may also lead to early signs of aging. Everyone loves a suntan, but there is no reason to sacrifice your skin or your health in order to achieve it. Therefore, many individuals opt for a self-tanning lotion instead. Back in the day, these products had a tendency to turn the skin orange, but that is no longer the case. Improvements have helped to give self-tanning products a more natural, streak-free look. Before applying the lotion to your entire body, apply it to a small test area just to make sure there is no irritation.

Skin Care Tip 3: If your lips tend to become chapped in the winter months or wind burnt at other times, using lip balm or lipstick will help to protect the lips from nature's worst. Swap out your matte lipsticks for something more creamy or sheer for day-to-day wear and optimal results.

Skin Care Tip 4: Dry or cracked skin can be very unbearable. Not to mention the discomfort of tight red skin, it can be downright embarrassing. Using a hydrating and soothing serum paired with a heavier night cream will eliminate soreness, redness, and help to add moisture back to dry skin. SkinFuel (available at DermaEnvy Locations across Canada) carries a Hyaluronic Acid Serum that is great for allowing your skin to hold onto more moisture. Pairing this with your moisturizer will help you get the most moisture from your other skincare products.

Skin Care Tip 5: Do not use products that irritate your skin in any way, including soaps that have harsh ingredients. If possible, use a moisturizing soap or that which is designed for sensitive skin.

In addition to these tips, skin care products are available as commercial or prescription based treatments. A dermatologist is often consulted for matters relating to acne or other skin disorders, especially if they are severe. DermaEnvy Skincare offers many treatments that work to eliminate skin concerns such as acne, ageing, and replenishing the skin's natural moisture, which is often stripped in today's harsh environment.
