There’s no need for invasive or painful treatments to achieve healthy, glowing skin that looks like you’ve just walked out of a facialists office. Here’s our top-tips for mini daily habits that over time can lead towards a brighter, more confident you.
1. Stay Hydrated
Healthy skin starts from within. Drinking enough water throughout the day helps maintain your skin's elasticity and natural glow. When your skin is well-hydrated, it looks plumper and smoother, which helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines. Aim for at least 8 glasses of water a day and increase that amount if you spend a lot of time outdoors or exercising.
2. Prioritize Sun Protection
One of the most important things you can do for your skin is protect it from the sun. Sun damage is a major contributor to premature aging, causing wrinkles, dark spots, and a rough texture. Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF of at least 30, even on cloudy days. For extra protection, wear hats and sunglasses when outside.
3. Keep Your Skin Clean
Daily cleansing is essential to remove dirt, oil, and pollutants that accumulate on your skin throughout the day. Choose a gentle cleanser that suits your skin type and be sure to wash your face both morning and night. Over-cleansing or using harsh products can strip your skin of its natural oils, so stick to mild products that maintain your skin's moisture barrier.
4. Use LED Therapy
Regenerate and rebuild your skin from within. Red light therapy, in particular, stimulates collagen production, helping to firm and brighten the skin. Red light therapy has become more accessible now thanks to at-home wearable solutions. The SmoothSkin DuoLux LED face mask uses two of the most clinically researched wavelengths to reach the deeper levels of your skin for visible results within 4 weeks.
5. Moisturize Regularly
Moisturizing is crucial for maintaining glowing skin, especially as we age. Look for a moisturizer that suits your skin type and apply it after cleansing to lock in hydration. Needing an extra hydration boost? Designed to work with your LED mask, the SmoothSkin Collagen+ Hydrogel face mask is packed with hyaluronic acid to immediately plump and hydrate your skin whilst niacinamide works to brighten and even your complexion for an all over glow. Wear for 10 minutes alongside your mask to give your skin a radiant, youthful glow.
