New Year’s resolutions for your skin



Happy New Year!  The new year brings us the opportunity to do away with all those bad skin care habits and reconsider our skin care routine.

Sun Protection is a Priority

Using sun protection on a daily basis all year round is not only essential to prevent sun damage, wrinkles and sun spots, but it is an important step in preventing skin cancer.  Over the course of time, the sun can impose significant hardships and damage to your skin, so it is important to use quality sun care products to protect from the skin from the damage caused by UVA/UVB rays.  

Exfoliation for glowing Skin

Regardless of your skin type, exfoliating  should be a very important step in your skin care routine.  The reason is that as we get older, our skin is not as efficient is disposing of dead skin cells and regenerating new ones.  The result is that dead skin cells start accumulating on the surface of the skin, clogging the pores and results in excess oil production. This leads to dull looking, rough and dry skin.  In addition the excess oil can lead to blemishes and acne.
