Adelaide Skin - Skin Care Tips   

Here at Adelaide Beauty we know that having beautiful, clear, healthy skin is something we all desire. But sadly is something most of us never attain. Beautiful skin gives us confidence and helps to give us a good self image. In today’s society we are bombarded with advertising images of beautiful men and women with flawless skin, and it is something that most of us would love to look like. To not have to feel you cannot leave the house without first covering your face with make up is a great feeling. 

Any Adelaide skin care specialist will tell you that to achieve healthy skin, requires a well balance diet, regular exercise, and a regular skin care routine suitable for your skin type.  Our skin type is dependent on a variety of factors including our age, gender, family history, personal health and wellness, diet and exercise, lifestyle, our stress levels, and our environment.  It is never too late to begin the correct beauty routine for your skin type which will soon lead to your skin looking and feeling young and radiant.  Ask your local Adelaide skin care consultant to advise you on the exact beauty routine for your skin type.  The different skin types include dry skin typified by tight, taught feeling skin that looks thin and dry and will often have visible fine lines and wrinkles, oily skin which generally looks oily overall whether covered with make up or not and usually suffers from blemishes and acne outbreaks, and combination skin which has patches of oily areas usually on the forehead, nose, and chin, and areas of dry skin usually around the eyes and on the cheeks. 

One of the most damaging things for your skin is sun over exposure, and this is especially true for Adelaide skin .  Our warm and sunny climate in Adelaide can end up being very damaging to our skin if we do not take special precautions to protect against sun damage.  Over exposure to the sun causes our skin to become dehydrated leading to wrinkles and fine lines appearing prematurely, cause freckles, sun spots, areas of uneven skin pigmentation  and colour, and uneven skin tone.  And not to mention the worst effect of sun damage to our skin, skin cancers (melanomas). 

A typical daily skin care routine should include cleansing the face, toning the skin, then followed by moisturizing the face and neck.  This routine should ideally be carried out morning and evening.  Your skin would also benefit greatly if you added a weekly facial mask to your regular skin care routine.  Below we have offered some simple tips for maintaining healthy skin: 

v  Drink plenty of water each day, at least 2 litres per day 

v  Eat a well balanced diet, full of fresh fruit and vegetables, and if necessary take any required vitamin and/or mineral supplements 

v  Live a healthy lifestyle with lots of regular exercise, keep your alcohol intake to a limit, and do not smoke.  Try to keep your stress levels to a minimum 

v  Maintain a regular daily skin care regime 

v  Visit your local Adelaide skin care clinic at regular intervals for a facial and to ensure that you are using the correct skin care products for your skin type 

v  If you are going to go out into the sun for any extended periods, ensure you use a good quality, high SPF waterproof sunscreen 

v  Always remove your make up thoroughly before going to bed at night 

v  Don’t forget to apply moisturizer to your neck, not just your face 

v  Be aware of your skin type, and understand that your skin changes as you age, and also changes throughout the year with seasonal weather changes
