How to Fit Skin Care into your Routine

It’s so easy to just brush your teeth and splash your face with some cold water in the morning and then off you go. But, let me warn you of the perils of taking the easy road when it comes to skin care. Our skin is the single largest organ the human body has, and like all organs, the skin needs water to function at its best. Deprive your skin of hydration, and slowly watch as you wrinkle up like a dried up ol’ raisin. Seriously.

Of course drinking tons of liquid throughout the day will help replenish the skin’s moisture content, but that water you’re drinking is being divided many ways, nourishing many organs in the body. So why not give the skin the direct hydration it needs? It’s not a rhetorical question… if you aren’t lubing up twice a day, especially as you get older, your skin will dry out, get tight, even ashy and dull, to a point that is irreversible, so why aren’t your moisturizing?

Now that you’ve been fairly warned, let’s discuss the simple solutions. Moisturizer is one of the easiest and quickest fixes to help add water back into the skin. It’ll trap the water you already have and protect it, especially if you are using a dermatologist-approved, medical-grade moisturizer that can be bought in specialized clinics (like Elna, cough, cough). Moisturizer will also shield the environmental irritants that are killing your skin, (don’t even get me started on outside pollutants and the damage they cause).

The right skincare regimen will help against the visible signs of aging, like wrinkles and fine lines, sagging and loss of elasticity, as well as acne, rosacea, blotches, skin blemishes, dark spots, sun damage, and the list goes on. So, let’s just assume you’ve been scared straight and you’ve just opened your browser to shop online for the perfect moisturizer to add to your morning and night routine – now it’s time to think about how to up the ante and aim higher than “good enough” skin… let’s go for smooth as a baby’s bottom, plump, and young-looking, radiant skin. Think Benjamin Button at the end of the movie. I promise, it’s doable.

That’s where facials and treatments come in. It’s time you believe the hype, they really do the work they claim they’re doing. Wrinkle creams, eye serums, and other anti-aging products truly deliver on their word, especially if you’re using the right product for your skin type. But, the benefits of Forever Young BBL take the idea of simply hydrating your skin and kick it up by ten thousand. After you’ve experienced the benefits of a Forever Young BBL facial, your skin will feel nourished and revitalized, and have an overall more vibrant appearance. Then, there’s also the Vampire Facial, which will take that greyish looking skin and give it a glow that can’t be store-bought. Finally, the Halo Laser therapy: it brightens the skin and peels years off your skin. So many options, so little time.

There are a ton of specialized treatments out there that boast outstanding results, but the innovative treatments we offer at Elna Esthetics are tried, tested and proven to have incredible results. So, when it comes to taking good care of your skin, hot-wire your face! Book a cutting-edge facial that will reinvigorate your skin’s natural vibrancy. Then, maintain and sustain the results of the treatment with a high-quality, Elna-approved moisturizer. Get that healthy, plump, radiant skin you’ve always wanted… the one you were born with 😉
