Laser Cliniqúe's Top 10 Tips To Maintain GREAT Skin

June 16, 2011 - PRLog -- 1.  Cleansing — Proper and regular cleansing should be done twice daily. Oil, make-up and pollution will take their toll and the right cleanser will leave your skin breathing freely.   Laser Cliniqúe's Green Tea Wash is a  gentle soap-free cleanser that cleanses the skin without drying.  This antioxidant formula contains a blend of  vitamins A, C, E, Green Tea and White Tea Polyphenols, Soy and Co-Q10.

2.  Exfoliation — Eliminating dead skin cells increases in importance as one ages. Cell turnover rate slows with the aging process and using the correct exfoliator between one and three times a week will keep your skin glowing.  

Laser Cliniqúe recommends monthly Vibradermabrasions to help exfoliate your skin.  Vibradermabrasion are the “New” Microdermabrasion.  This is the latest re-surfacing technique. The skin is gently exfoliated by a vibrating paddle, no more messy crystals.  The skin looks smoother, softens fine lines, removes layers of damaged tissue, reduces pore size and will help build  new collagen.  Great for all skin types.  

3.  Moisturizing — The drier the environment, the more important your moisturizer is.  Winter heating systems, summer air conditioning and the ravages of time and wind all take vital moisture from your skin.  Replenishing with the right moisturizer twice daily is sufficient for all but the driest skin.   Laser Cliniqúe's Calming Moisturizer is a light, oil -free moisturizer which contains vitamins A, C, E, Co-Q10 and Green Tea extract.  

4.  Fighting the Elements — The more extreme the weather conditions are where you live, the more care you must take to ward off the damage the elements do. Sun, wind and temperature extremes will burn, chafe and dry your skin, but you can prevent it.  Sunscreen is a vital part of your skin care regimen.  Even on cloudy or rainy days, the sun sits behind those clouds so be sure to wear a sunscreen of at least SPF 30 everyday.  
Laser Cliniqúe offers several different sunscreens:  

Skin Medica's Environmental Defense Sunscreen SPF 50+ with UV ProPlex is a full spectrum UVA/UVB defense sunscreen that provides long-lasting protection.  

Laser Cliniqúe's Oil-Free Hydration SPF 30, which lightly textured moisturizing sunblock.  Free of oil, fragrance, Lanolin and Propylene Glycol which can irritate the skin. Contains 2.5% Titanium Dioxide.  

Laser Cliniqúe's Tinted Green Tea SPF 45 is an advanced sun protection product blocks most UV radiation from interacting with the skin and can minimize the effect of the UV that does interact by neutralizing and quenching damaging UV induced free radicals.

5.  Sleeping Well — Sleeping Beauty had the right idea. Regular, sufficient sleep allows your cells to renew and repair themselves.  A full 7-8 hours of sleep permits your body to reach the deepest sleep stages and refreshes your skin as well as your body.

6.  Regular Exercise — Not only is exercise good for your figure, your heart and your mentality; but increased circulation benefits your skin by allowing more blood to reach your skin cells faster and more efficiently.


7.  Hydration — Those eight glasses of water a day help all of your cells and all of your bodily functions, including your skin. Proper hydration rids the body of toxins and helps prevent dehydration related water retention.

8.  Eat a Healthy Diet — In the same way that exercise benefits the whole body so does all of the food you put into your body. Especially beneficial to your skin are foods that are rich in phyto-nutrients, anti-oxidants and hyaluronic acid. They give your skin the building blocks it needs to fight free radicals and maintain collagen levels.

9.  Not Smoking — Minimizing or eliminating smoking has an incredibly positive impact on the skin. Not only are fewer carcinogens being introduced but you are also eliminating a major cause of discoloration and naso-labial wrinkles.

10.  Smile — Often and regularly. Frown lines have a much bigger impact than laugh lines in the perception of age. Fabulous skin is even more wonderful when it is lit from within and on a happy face.
