Glowing and healthy skin is a cherished possession. It is a sign of youth, health, prosperity, and beauty. We all know eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and getting plenty of sleep helps create healthy skin, but what if you’ve done it all and are still aren’t experiencing the results your seeking? Before you run out and pay thousands of dollars on expensive medical and spa treatments for skin problems like acne and acne scars, dry skin, hyper-pigmentation, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone, make sure you are doing a few preventative treatments first for these 5 common skin conditions. Often times, making sure you have the basics down first, will save you time, money, and maybe all that is needed to help you have radiant, glowing skin.

Acne Scars

One common problem for people of almost any age is acne. Acne comes in all types and forms, and depending on the severity, it can leave horrible scars also known as ‘craters’ because they resemble the craters or depressions like the ones on the moon. There are many types of treatments and skin care products you can use for acne, yet it’s important to start with using Vitamin C and Aloe Vera because they will help saturate your skin with anti-oxidants and will heal your skin and prevent it from getting worse. Another basic rule is to use skincare products that are not abrasive or harsh. If it burns when you apply it, it is too harmful and will cause your acne skin to get worse. Also, it is better when choosing products, to buy and use products for one particular product line, because many skincare brands are synergetic and work better when used together.

Dry Skin 

A skincare treatment for dry skin is generally easy. Using a hydrating moisturizer, and apply it in the right way and in the right quantity, is the best form of skincare treatment for dry skin. For best results, apply moisturizer while your skin is still damp. This will lock in moisture and help plump and restore your skin to a youthful glow. Also, do not apply too much or too little moisturizer. In exceptional cases, where you don’t notice any improvements in 3-4 weeks, you might have to visit your dermatologist for skincare treatment of your dry skin.

Sun And Age Spots

Brown spots, which appear on sun-exposed areas of your skin like your face and hands, are caused by over-exposure to UV radiation. Preventative treatment for brown spots to use a sunscreen lotion, which has a high SPF (sun protection factor) of 30 or more. This should be used irrespective of whether – sunny/cloudy. Starting with the basic treatment of using sunscreen will help prevent more dark spots or hyper-pigmentation from appearing.  Another form of skincare treatment is covering up the exposed areas with clothing (caps, full sleeved shirts/t-shirts, and umbrella). If you don’t want to cover your skin, make sure you use sunscreen on your body as well.

Wrinkles 

Wrinkles occur for a variety of reasons, but mainly due to the natural aging process. Fine lines around your eyes, nose, and mouth are not uncommon among women and men as young as 25 years old. Climate change, pollution, smoking, medications, and an unhealthy lifestyle can speed up the process. On the positive side, we can slow down skin aging and preserve, and even reverse the aging process by using products that have ingredients that are restorative, hydrating, and helps the skin to produce more collagen. Also, make sure the products like anti-aging serums that include ingredients with antioxidants which will fight free radicals.

Uneven Skin Tone

Having an even complexion is what we all strive for because it is a sign of healthy, radiant, and more youthful skin. One way to improve skin tone is by ‘double cleansing’ your face. Double cleansing is common in Korean skincare and is vital in order to make sure your face is thoroughly cleansed. One way to double cleanse your face is to use pre-cleansing towelettes to remove dirt, excess oil, and makeup from your skin one washing will often miss.

After cleansing, using a vitamin c serum with hyaluronic acid can help hydrate and plump your skin to help reduce acne scars and fine lines and wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid is a powerful ingredient that will help speed up cell regeneration which will result in younger, more even tone skin.  If a regular skincare regime is not evening out your complexion, a dermatologist may prescribe a skincare treatment like oral antibiotics, chemical peels, retinoids, and other treatments.

The Vitamin C Serum Miracle! 

One treatment that will work with all 5 of the most common skin conditions is Vitamin C Serum. We all know the power of vitamin C! Vitamin C boosts your immune system and is known for its anti-oxidant properties. On the skin, it fights off bacteria, free radicals, and hastens collagen (a structural protein of the skin) synthesis. Vitamin C in skincare is not a sunscreen but it lifts the effectiveness of sunscreen making them a good combination. Vitamin C in skincare is effective in slowing down the aging process to maintain youthful skin. Vitamin C can help heal acne skin and help to prevent scarring. Vitamin C is a basic must in the fight of hyper-pigmentation in addition to reducing wrinkles and increase collagen production.  What even better, is when you combine both hyaluronic acid with vitamin c! This is why we recommend Victoria’s Skin Tight Naturals Professional Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C Serum.
