Specialist in Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery, Op. Dr. Ufuk Askeroglu, has compiled a list of skincare tips for you as spring approaches.
The harsh winter weather, poor lifestyle habits, and stress can significantly wear down the skin. However, this process can be reversed, and during the spring months, you can restore your skin’s energy and achieve a radiant appearance.
Especially in winter, many people tend to fall asleep without cleansing their skin due to daily fatigue. However, cleansing, moisturizing, and applying sunscreen every day is a crucial routine. Additionally, based on a doctor’s recommendation, applying light serums underneath moisturizers tailored to your skin’s needs can help achieve a brighter complexion.
Don’t Neglect Moisture Balance
One of the most important steps for healthy and radiant skin is maintaining a balanced moisture level. Harsh winter conditions can damage the skin both internally and externally. Cold and dry air can cause the skin to dry out and become irritated. Therefore, restoring moisture balance is essential for dry and cracked skin. Using products suitable for your skin type and supporting internal care with proper nutrition can be beneficial. Peeling is a method that removes dead skin cells and accelerates renewal.
During winter, dead skin buildup is more likely on dry skin. If you want to refresh your skin in spring, you can apply peeling once a week. Regular peeling is important for skin health and beauty. You can opt for professional care or use homemade peeling recipes. However, if you have acne-prone skin, it’s better to choose gentle masks. With the right peeling for your skin type, your complexion will look more vibrant, lively, and glowing with the arrival of spring.
Physical Activity Is a Key Factor for Skin Health
In addition to at-home skincare, having a few sessions of medical skincare per year can deeply cleanse and increase skin moisture levels. Lack of movement can negatively impact skin health. For healthy and radiant skin, it’s important for our skin to receive sufficient oxygen and circulation. Therefore, regular exercise plays a vital role in maintaining skin health. Engaging in brisk walking or other physical activities at least three to four times a week can benefit your skin. Water intake is also critical for skin health. During the cold winter months, the sense of thirst may decrease, causing us to neglect drinking water. However, it’s essential to consume at least two liters of water daily. Beverages like tea and coffee do not replace water and may even contribute to water loss in the body. Therefore, remember to drink water after consuming coffee.
Stress Has a Negative Impact on the Skin
It may not be possible to completely avoid the stress of daily life, but it’s helpful to know that excessive stress negatively affects the skin. Stress can cause blood vessels in the skin to constrict, hindering skin nourishment. Furthermore, stress can lead to premature aging of skin cells.
