Use these tips for a glowing complexion to Spring Clean your skin!

1. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub, but just once a week.  You don’t want to over stimulate the skin and cause excess sebum production.

2. Drink plenty of water or even better make your own spa water with cucumbers, mint or lemon.

• Cucumbers are full of anti-oxidants.  They are also hydrating which is essential for soft, supple skin.
• Mint is rich in anti-oxidants and flavonoids. It soothes the skin, is a natural anti-inflammatory and helps keep acne at bay.
• The anti-oxidants found in vitamin C, do double duty in lemon water. They fight damage caused by free radicals and keep your skin looking fresh.  It also keeps the body producing collagen, which helps smooth out lines in the skin.

3. Use an eye cream.  The delicate skin around the eye deserves some TLC, especially after the cold, winter months.

4. Never leave home without an SPF 30!  Elta MD offers many different sunscreen options.  Stop by the office to see which one is best for your skin!

5. Make the switch to a lighter moisturizer.  Your skin, most likely, won’t require the heavy moisturizing cream you applied during the harsh winter.

6. Use a healthy makeup, like mineral makeup, free of parabens and mineral oil. Glo Skin Beauty is a mineral makeup that we have available at our office.

7. Get a facial!  Getting a facial in the spring will invigorate and nourish dull, post -winter skin
