Dead skin cells make your skin appear dull, rough and uneven. To eliminate these dead skin cells from your complexion, you need to exfoliate.

Have you got to the point where all of a sudden, your mother’s words are ringing true in your ears and you really wish you had started to take care of your skin sooner? Join the club. The good news is, it’s not too late to make a difference and help your skin go down the right path. A few changes will make a massive difference when applied religiously. What are they, we hear you cry? Here are a few things you can do to keep your skin looking youthful!

Exfoliate

Your skin cells are constantly renewing, meaning dead skin cells are left on the top layer of your complexion. This process slows as you age. Dead skin cells make your skin appear dull, rough and uneven. To eliminate these dead skin cells from your complexion, you need to exfoliate. Effective exfoliation will help your skin to appear brighter, smoother and younger. To exfoliate, it’s best to use a chemical exfoliator or try a professional treatment. Incorporating a chemical exfoliator like glycolic acid into your routine will gently slough off dead skin cells to refine the skin’s surface. Alternatively, you may wish to try a more effective method of exfoliation like microdermabrasion. Microdermabrasion can remove up to three times the number of dead skin cells than other treatments. Furthermore, blood flow is stimulated to encourage the production of elastin and collagen – two substances that help to plump and firm the skin.

Hydrate

Moisturiser is essential at any age and on every skin type but as you are getting older becomes ever more important to keep skin hyrdated. Even oily and combination skin types can benefit from moisturiser. For ageing skin, use a moisturiser with retinol as this type of vitamin A helps skin cell renewal. Furthermore, regular hydration helps to nourish, smooth and soften the skin for a luminous and healthy complexion. Don’t forget hydration happens from the inside too, drink plenty of water to keep your cells hydrated.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
